Chapter 99
On the second day, while Andrius was still asleep, hurried knocks on his door woke him up.
“Andrius! Wake up! Open the door! Something happened! Wake up!”
Andrius opened the door and saw Halle.
“What? What happened?” He could barely open his eyes.
“Sumeria…is messed up!” Halle looked serious as if the sky of Sumeria had c ollapsed.
Andrius yawned. “Is it that serious?”“It is. It’s as you said the other day.” Halle looked at Andrius with a complicate d look on her face. “Last night, Axel Cloverfield and his father, Richard, transfe rred everything under their company’s name out from the country. A total of fifteen billion assets have disappeared just like that!
“The company is just empty now. The shareholders, the people who bought their shares recently, everyone went crazy. From the moment the news got out, which was just an hour ago, there have already been more than a doz en suicide cases.”
Then, Halle’s phone rang.
“Tsk. Another one down the drain. Someone just jumped off a building.” Halle shook her head as she looked at her phone. “The police are involved, but that b*stard Axel is already gone.”
Andrius did not care because it was not his money that Axel ran off with. He lo oked at Halle and asked, “What about the Crestfalls? How’s Luna doing?”
If Andrius remembered correctly, when he was chased out of Luna’s car yeste rday, she still had a lot of the Cloverfields’ shares.
“Luna…” Halle sighed and shook her head. She looked helpless as she said, “ She used all of New Moon Corporation’s funds to buy the Cloverfields‘ compa ny shares, and I failed to stop her.
“Now, everything is gone. The company is already short on funds, and now wit h this happening, the Crestfalls are going bankrupt. The whole family is already at Luna’s house, asking her to co mpensate for their losses.”
What a stupid woman.
Andrius did not know how to comment on Luna’s stupidity anymore, but he co uld not just leave her. “Come on, let’s go have a look.”
Meanwhile at Dream’s Waterfront, George, Dick, and Master Crestfall, plus th e young
ones, were all in front of Luna’s gate.“Luna, don’t blame your uncle for being cold– hearted.” George looked frosty. He added, “You started all these, you can’t jus t make both of our families pay for your mistake!”
“Yeah!” Dick stepped forward and bellowed, “Luna, you have to compensate for the compa ny’s losses and relieve yourself of your duty!”
When it came to their personal gans, not even family could hold them back.
“Compensate!”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“Resign!”
The others echoed in unison.
When Luna heard Axel and his father had fled with her money, she lost it. Her mind went blank, and she did not know what to do.
She was drowning in regret already, and now she had to face criticism and bla me from her uncles. She had no excuse for her actions. Her eyes turned wet as tears blurred her vision.
Harry was also anxious.
Aside from the debts and liabilities, this investment alone involved a large porti on of their funds and was a major problem.
On top of that, the Valiant Institute project was waiting for their funds to start, and with their money gone, the project might have to be delayed indefinitely.
How could they face Mayor Freely after this?
Things went from bad to worse in quick succession.
Harry’s expression shifted multiple times. He gritted his teeth and said, “Calm down first. It’s not beyond redemption. I’ll give Axel a call."
