long the

nandez Group can last,” Audrey replied with a cold

smile, showing no regard for William’s words

“What do you mean?” William angrily demanded.

Perhaps before, she would have hesitated, considering that he was her father.

But

now that she knew she and this man shared no blood relation, Audrey felt no obligation to consider him.

On the other end, William, furious after Audrey hung up on him, wore an expression of

rage.

If he had known she was born to bring him trouble, he would have strangled her at

birth.

“Mr. Hernandez, we can’t get through to Neptune Investment. The bank loans we’ve applied for have been rejected, and the other partners have all stated they’d rather pay breach of contract penalties than continue working with us,” the assistant reported.

The assistant had been busy all day, calling various parties, but neither Neptune Investment nor the banks nor any of the partners were willing to cooperate.

William hadn’t expected Audrey to go to such extremes and was livid.

“Try another bank. We need that project funding urgently,” William said.

“I’ve already contacted other banks, but they said…” The assistant glanced at William nervously. “They said Neptune Investment has warned that any bank that dares to lend. to the Hernandez Group will be declared bankrupt.”

William said. “Get me in touch with Neptune Investment’s manager. I’ll go see them personally!”

William’s face grew even darker, and he tried to force his way in, only to be blocked and thrown out by several security guards.

“I am the chairman of the Hernandez Group! Who gave you the right to treat me like this?” William yelled, his face livid.

“Sir, if you try to enter without an appointment, we will have to call the police,” the security guard said.

The assistant quickly pulled William aside and said, “Mr. Hernandez, let’s go back and think of another way. There are too many people here. A scene might affect the
