Chapter 480: Chapter 480

On the other side.

Matt was also very nervous.

Duncan was very calm at first.

But when he saw Julian’s numbers catching up at the speed of light, he widened his eyes and asked Matt, “What’s going on? Didn’t we ensure that we utilized all of our resources?” Matt frowned.

“I don’t know where Julian is getting the reserve money.

They shouldn’t even have any left! What’s more, it’s a competition of fashion sales.

Even if they have money, it’s useless.

They have to change it to clothing purchases for the transactions to be valid!” “Investigate this immediately! Assist Alexander right away.

We must make sure that Alexander takes over Parks Group,” Duncan said.

He had been playing Donkey Swoop every day for the past few days and he still could not get through the stage.

The most annoying thing was that it seemed simple enough.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, he could not succeed.

It seemed that the game was more complicated than he thought.

Since Donkey Swoop came with mandatory advertisements and Duncan could not pay money to block these advertisements, he felt terrible.

After seeing Julian catch up with Alexander again, he was not in the mood to play anymore.

“Yes,” Matt immediately replied.

Duncan frowned as he looked at the results.

As soon as the page was refreshed, he saw that Julian’s results had risen again.

Duncan watched as Julian’s numbers closed the gap between him and Alexander, from 99 million dollars, then 75 million dollars, and then 30 million dollars.

Soon, Julian had overtaken Alexander, and his numbers continued to soar.

Duncan glanced at the time.

It was only 10.30AM, and there was still over an hour to go.

However, Julian’s numbers had already crushed Alexander’s.

If they did not do something about it, Alexander would not be able to take over as president of Parks Group.

This would have rendered all of their effort over the past month useless.

It also would mean that they had been tricked by Julian.

How could Duncan tolerate this? Duncan instructed Matt, “If you fail to help Alexander take over Parks Group, you are in deep trouble.” “Yes,” Matt replied in a low voice.

He hurried off to make the necessary arrangements.

Duncan reached for his phone.

As he did that, he glanced at Donkey Swoop, and yelled, “Shit!” His obsession with this game over the past few days had caused him too much distraction.

However, this game was really toxic.

At this moment, his hands felt like jelly.

Still, Duncan picked up his phone and continued playing.

He would fight until the end.

While Matt was making the necessary arrangements on his end, he suddenly received a feedback that Nevada Corporation was facing some issues.

“What’s the problem?” Matt frowned unhappily.

“Even if there are any issues, put them in the backseat.

Right now, we need to focus on helping Alexander take over as the president of Parks Group.

Otherwise, Matt would have to answer to Duncan.

“But…” “No buts! I don’t want to hear about this until after 12PM,” Matt said sharply.

“Alright, I’ll come back to you after 12PM,” his subordinate said hurriedly before hanging up.

After half an hour, his subordinate called again.

“Things are not looking good, Mr.

Barnett.

This problem is too big.

I can’t wait till 12PM.” “What is it? Hurry up and say it!” Matt shouted as he looked at the numbers on the computer screen.

Matt thought to himself, “What the hell? Julian’s numbers are like mini rockets being launched into space.

They have already far surpassed Alexander’s numbers.” The subordinate stammered as he reported, “There’s a problem with Nevada Corporation’s financial report.

Right now, the regulatory commission, tax authority, and other relevant departments are all here.”

“What? “Matt’s expression changed drastically.

He immediately tuned in to the international news network, but there was no news about Nevada Corporation.

He shouted into the phone, “Why didn’t I know that the regulatory commission and tax authorities are investigating the company?” How could he not know such a big thing? The subordinate said nervously, “They ambushed us.

Someone must have filed a report against us.

I also just learned about it.

I called you as soon as I found out, but you told me to call you after 12PM…” “So, this is my fault?” Matt was furious.

The subordinate’s attitude was very good.

“No, no, it’s my fault.

I should have reported it to you just now.

Mr.

Barnett, now is not the time to decide who’s at fault.

The regulatory commission was here to investigate the company.

What should we do?” Matt immediately hung up and quickly called his friend from the regulatory commission.

No one picked up the phone.

After a long time, Matt received a message.

It said, “Sorry, I’ve been transferred to another department.” “Idiot!” Matt cursed angrily.

He could not believe that his friend had transferred away without even telling him.

His friend had also failed to inform him that Nevada Corporation was in trouble.

After all, his friend had received a lot of bribery from him.

He quickly called another friend in the tax department, but the other party’s phone was switched off.

“F*ck,” Matt cursed again and hurried off to find Duncan.

Duncan was squinting at the computer screen.

He was no longer looking at Alexander and Julian’s reuslts.

Rather, he was reading up on the scandal that had broke out about Nevada Corporation’s fake financial report.

It was all over the news.

There were photos of vehicles and staff from the relevant departments, such as the regulatory commission, tax authorities, and inspection officers entering Nevada Corporation’s headquarters.

The editor of the article had brought to surface the several offences committed by Nevada Corporation, and the withdrawal of funds from the company had greatly affected the interests of the shareholders.

It was reported that the company’s equity net worth had been falsified to mislead investors and disregarded their interests.

The company was also alleged to have failed to pay taxes.

“Mr.

Smith!” Matt’s heart skipped a beat as he called out to Duncan.

“Shit!” Duncan was furious.

Ever since he seized his family’s assets, he had never been so furious.

He looked at Matt with bloodshot eyes.

“We did what we did flawlessly and didn’t leave any traces.

Why was it exposed?” Matt was helpless and anxious.

“Mr.

Smith, I don’t understand what went wrong either!” That was why Matt was here to consult Duncan.

“Shit!” Duncan swore again as he grinded his teeth.

Matt asked carefully, “Mr.

Smith, are we still focusing on Parks Group?” Duncan was so angry that he slapped Matt’s face.

“Is this your first day working for me? Of course, we need to focus on both problems at the same time.

Go and activate our people in the regulatory commission and tax authorities.

immediately.

At the same time, continue to help Alexander boost his numbers.” “Okay!” Matt answered as he clutched his cheek.

As time passed, Julian’s performance continued to improve.

Matt had already activated all of his resources to boost Alexander’s numbers.

However, even though their money was flowing in, Julian maintained his lead.

When it turned 11AM, Julian was leading by 840 million dollars.

At 11.30AM, Julian was leading by 1,260 million dollars.

At 11.50AM., Alexander’s numbers surged and the gap was narrowed to 440 million dollars.

There were only ten minutes left.

Albert stared at the phone screen as he reached out to clutch his chest.

The numbers were fluctuating.

His heart could not take it anymore.

He muttered, “Hurry up, hurry up!”
