Time was up.
Mateo said resentfully, âYou idiot said the time was up, but what about my company? Did it go bankrupt?â
âMr. Mccarthy, donât be bothered by the idiot. How could he make it possible? If he were that capable, he wouldnât have been a crap of the Griffith family. How dare the jerk be pretentious in front of us!â
Angus helped Mateo up as he was talking.
When Maximilian said the time was up, he lifted his foot on Mateo, because he wanted to see the expression of Mateo when he heard about the bankruptcy.
Burke wiped the flood on the face of Mateo with tissue, saying coldly, âMr. Mccarthy, I think we should call our men here to solve the problem tonight. We must break the jerkâs legs and arms, as he was too arrogant today!â
âThatâs not enough, and we should break his penis as well! Then he will be a useless man and Victoria will be Mr. Mccarthyâs woman. That should be very interesting ... So whoâs gonna make a phone call now?â
While Angus was flattering Mateo, the phone in his clothes was vibrating. Then he took out it discontentedly. He was about to hang up it, but he hesitated when he saw the caller ID.
It was the CFO. He must have important things to report since it was so late.
Casting a glance at Maximilian, Angus shook his head, aiming to get rid of the bankrupt thought.
Then Angus picked up the phone, âHello! Whatâs the matter at this late hour?â
âAngus, bad news! Our liquidity was frozen. Besides, the bank said the operation of our company had a very high risk, so it asked us to repay the loan in advance, while our money on the account is only enough to repay the interest!â
âHow could it be possible? Since my company is running as usual, why did the bank ask for that?â
roared Angus angrily.
âI donât know. The bank said it was going to take away all the capitals on the account next morning. If we canât repay the loan tomorrow noon, the mortgage will be taken away. It is the headquarter of our company!â
âFuck! Make clear what was going on, and I will find a way to collect money!â
The other three men all looked at Angus in surprise.
âAngus, whatâs wrong with your company?â asked Burke in a low voice, as he was worried, glancing at Maximilian.
âFuck the bank! It has frozen all my liquidity and asked me to repay the loan for a high risk of my operation. Bullshit!â
After the complaint, Angus looked at Mateo obsequiously. âMr. Mccarthy, would you please help me out of the trouble?â
âNo problem. Thatâs no big deal. I can lend you five hundred million dollars,â Mr. Mccarthy replied proudly with his head up.
Buzzing ... Burkeâs phone was vibrating on the table without a break, and they looked at the phone with fear.
âWhoâs that?â asked Mateo in a dim complexion.
âLet me have a look.â When Burke saw the caller ID nervously, his face became pale at once. âIt is ... is my lawyer. I shall ask him what the matter is.â
âBooth, whatâs the matter?â asked Burke peacefully.
âBurke, something went wrong! The government department went here with a search warrant and a seizure warrant, and they took away all the running documents and financial documents. Besides, our factories were closed and canât do anything before they re-open.â
âHow could it happen? Why? What did you do?â Burke flied into a rage.
If they just took away the operation and financial documents, it would be easy to find the problem with some awesome accountants. However, it seemed to be a serious problem since the factories were closed.
âThe reasons given by them are tax evasion and illegal production. Tomorrow they are going to inspect again. Burke, could you find the way to deal with the problem? I canât do anything about it.â
âShit!â Burke hung up the phone angrily before he covered his face with hands helplessly.
âDonât worry, Burke. I can call some acquaintances to deal with it for you.â said Mateo decisively.
âThank you, Mr. Mccarthy. A friend in need is a friend indeed!â said Burke gratefully.
âOh my goodness! My phone is also ringing.â Noah looked very frightened and took out his phone from the pocket with a trembling hand.
âFuck off! Itâs from the CPO. What is the bitch calling me for?â
The CPO was Noahâs lover. Seeing the caller ID, Noah relieved the anxiety a bit.
âHello, Perry. Since I am accompanying Mr. Mccarthy tonight, you have to sleep alone.â
Perryâs shrill shout penetrated the receiver to Noahâs eardrum straightly, âWhat are you talking about since your company is going bankruptcy? Iâm calling you for a break- up! Donât bother me in the future.
I have nothing to do with you!â
âWhat? What do you mean, Perry? Whatâs going on?â asked Bennett confusingly.
âDid you forget the quality issue? They are investigating for that and Iâve just been questioned. At this moment, they must be searching for the clue in the company. You should be waiting for being imprisoned!â
Holding the phone, Bennett became dumbfounded and recalled what happened a few days ago.
âIâm screwed! You must help me, Mr. Mccarthy! You must help me!â shouted Noah.
Angus and Burke slowly fixed their eyes on Maximilian. What they regarded as coincidence seemed to be a mistake now. Was Maximilian really so powerful? Who did he call just now? How to solve these troublesome problems? Angus and Burke wanted to ask many questions, but they couldnât.
Mateo really wanted to be rude at that moment. âYou three donât worry! I, Mateo, can make you safe.
You know my personal connections and you can rely on me!â
The three guys became appreciated at once. If they could rely on Mateo, they might survive this time.
When they were just about to thank Mateo, his phone was ringing all of a sudden.
âMr. Mccarthy, your phone is ringing...â
