Chapter 347
Liam was a little confused at Lucas's scolding. "Uh... Are you sure it's not a mistake?"
"What? Our people have called us for help, so how could this be a mistake? Mr. Anderson, what the f*ck are you doing?"
Liam's expression was blank. He ignored Lucas's attitude and said, "I've already arrived at the company's entrance. I'll head up immediately."
As he said that, he took Isabella and Sophia upstairs. When the elevator door opened on the president's floor, groans of pain rang in their ears.
Liam could not see anyone in the corridor, and he realized that the groaning came from his office. His heart sank as he took Sophia and Isabella straight to the office.
As he walked in front of the door, he was shocked by what he saw inside.
He saw that his large office was crowded with people. There were tall and strong men, and there were a dozen people lying on the ground.
The people lying on the ground had injuries on their bodies. Moreover, they were all tied up, and their groans could be heard one after another.
The groans he had heard when he got out of the elevator were from the people lying on the ground.
He did not expect such a situation. Where did these people come from? Why did they suddenly occupy his office?
Did these people beat up Hayden's men?
Why did they hit them?
As he thought about it, he heard a familiar voice ask, "Miss Anderson, do you want to call the police?"
"Call the police! How could you not call the police? I'll call them right now," Paige's voice could be heard clearly.
"110? I'm in the Central South Building. Just now, more than a dozen rascals came to my company with an IOU contract to take over the company and smash my office. They were too arrogant. Come and have a look."
Hearing her voice, Liam was so angry that he rushed in at once. "Paige, what are you doing?"
The people in the office automatically opened a way for Liam to rush in. He saw Paige sitting boldly in his office chair with a phone in her hand.
A surprised expression appeared on her face when she saw him. "Dad, you're finally here! Let me tell you, these gangsters on the ground came to look for trouble with a fake contract, but they were taken care of by the people arranged. Now, I've already called the police, and I'm waiting for them to come over to deal with it."
"How do you know it's a fake contract?" Liam asked in a stern voice.
Among the dozen or so people lying on the ground, most of them were bodyguards, but two of them weren't ordinary people. They were Hayden's trusted aides.
The other bodyguards were only slightly injured and tied up on the ground, while Hayden's trusted aides had injuries all over their faces and kept screaming in pain.
Liam was furious. Since Hayden's trusted aides had been beaten up, he definitely wouldn't let him off. D*mn that girl, why was she always causing trouble for him? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Looking at Liam's exasperated look, Paige sneered.
"Of course, I know it's a fake contract. No one would agree to pay such a large bill. This is a ten billion dollar loan! We are operating so well now, so how could we be in debt?"
"What do you know? The company has not been doing so well. Let me tell you that the contract is not fake, and it's true! You let your people hit them without authorization and caused such a huge mess. Get ready to go to jail!" Liam also had no time to waste, so he spoke to her very straightforwardly.
"The company has not been doing so well? Are you kidding?" Paige's eyes were cold. "I just read a finance report yesterday. There is still so much money in the company's account, and the company's operations are normal. To have such a huge debt in a day...you're joking, right?"
"I have no time to joke around with you! The data reports you saw are all inaccurate. All the money you saw in the account was money that I borrowed. In fact, the company is broke right now!"
"Really?" Paige was not surprised at all, and she looked at him coldly, "Why didn't you tell me about such a huge matter then?"
"You don't know anything. What can I tell you?" He retorted.
"You seem to have forgotten that I am the major shareholder of this company. Instead of discussing it with me, you went to borrow money from outsiders instead?" She stood up from her chair and walked towards him slowly.
Liam felt a little guilty. "Didn't I say it already? You don't know anything. What could you do even if I told you about it?"
"Yes, I don't know how to run a company, but a ten billion dollar debt is such a big deal. What rights do you have to make this decision yourself?" Paige was aggressive.
Liam was angry and embarrassed. "I'm the chairman of the company! I have the right to do that! Listen, the contract was signed by me personally, and my signature and official seal are on it. These people you beat up have sufficient reason to coming here and demand that we pay back the debt. Now that you've hurt them, you're going to jail!"
"Hehe!" Paige sneered, 'I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case!"
He didn't take her seriously at all. He squatted down to help Hayden's trusted aides.
He apologized. "I'm sorry! My daughter doesn't know about this situation. I'll make sure to teach her a lesson now that she has offended you! I'll take you to the hospital now, and I will make sure the company's affairs are handed over smoothly."
Paige had been sneering as she watched him help Hayden's trusted aides while apologizing.
Liam glared at her. "I'll come back and deal with you after I settle them!" Liam said as he helped Hayden's trusted aides up and prepared to leave. He never expected the bodyguards who let him enter the office would block his path without warning.
"What are you doing?" Liam scolded. He wanted to push the bodyguards away, but no one paid attention to him. He knew that he was no match for these bodyguards, so he turned and stared at Paige.
"Ask them to get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way? This situation has not been settled. Who agreed to let you leave?" She looked at him coldly.
"Is there anything else that you need me to explain? I... I signed the contract myself, so the client sent his men to our company. Don't you understand?" Liam was flustered.
"I'm telling you, it's illegal for you to hurt others without permission. The person I borrowed the money from isn't someone you can just mess around with. You should prepare yourself for jail!"
"It's hard to say who's the one going to jail! Liam, who do you think you are?" A voice suddenly echoed throughout the office.
Liam was shocked when he heard the voice.
Why was it so familiar to him?
He thought about it for a while and realized that it was Lamont.
"Why is Lamont here? Am I mishearing him?"
Liam looked over his shoulder as the bodyguards stepped aside. Lamont sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed and looked at him with a calm smile.
"Liam, how have you been?"
