He was withdrawing funds? Damn it, was he insane? There would have been returns in a while!What's more, he even wanted compensation for losses? Was that in the contract? How did he not remember this?The meek secretary said at the side, "Final interpretive rights belong to Mr. Hill. Temporarily changing the person in charge does count as us breaching the contract.""Currently, in addition to repaying Mr. Hill the $1 billion principal, we also need to pay $130 million in breach penalties...""$130 million?!" Robert Brown shrieked, his heart seemed to stop for several seconds. It didn't seem like much compared to the $1 billion. Just a tiny fraction. But one had to know, much of that $1 billion had already been spent on various major projects, Raymond's investments, and more. Coming up with even $500 million would be difficult.Forget the principal. But that $130 million penalty was fatal. Without the investment, even selling off their entire Brown Family might not raise that much mon
But even as he thought this, his heart shuddered in fear. It was one thing after another, like the collapse of the world, flayed alive inch by inch as he slowly sank into the abyss.He was so anxious he felt his head would explode.This must be more of Jason and Susan's tricks!But Raymond Brown and his son stared furiously. "We agreed on a first investment of $100 million, but so far only $10 million has come through. I don't even see a shadow of the second and third investments. How am I supposed to do the project without money?""What's more, just now, Loyalty Group asked me to send over a batch of medicinal materials for inspection first. If it's late, it counts as me breaching contract, and I'll have to pay a tenfold penalty. Do you know how massive a sum that is? Sky-high!""Cut the crap. I'm asking you, where's the money? The agreed upon investments? Hurry up and transfer it over, quick!"He was truly anxious, fanning the flames. Although Loyalty Group requested an inspection,
Old Brown also glared at Jason. "Where's my female pendant? Daring to covet even my belongings, I see you're truly tired of living!"But at his words, Jason disdainfully laughed and casually took out an antique pendant from his pocket. "Grandfather, you can eat randomly, but don't speak randomly. The pendant is yours? Where's the proof?""Bah! My word is the proof. Don't make me destroy you for daring to steal Grandfather's possession!" Alexander Brown threatened with bulging eyes.But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt an icy wind gusting behind him. Looking back, he discovered over a dozen burly security guards coldly watching them."Daring to cause trouble at Mr. Gray's residence? Do you believe I'll destroy you right this instant?" The patrol captain asserted arrogantly. Alexander Brown and the others were scared stiff, deferentially obeying.Seeing this, Old Brown's mind stirred. Hard tactics didn't work, so he had to try soft tactics, moving them with emotion and re
"Jason, you're really pushing it, aren't you? That grandfather is allowing her reinstatement is already gracious and merciful. Yet you still dare overreach and demand an apology from him? Looks like you're asking for death. That will never happen.""Let me make this clear. Grandfather's word is law in the Brown family. Not just dismissing someone, even banishing a useless person from the Brown family, no one would dare say it's wrong!" Robert and the others bellowed in shock and fury.Not just them, even Mary and her husband were startled. They had thought it was merely talk, and had not imagined he would seriously demand an apology from old Brown. Madness! Who dared force old Brown's hand? Reinstatement was already a blessing, who would dare ask for more?Old Brown's expression also darkened, rage smoldering within. His forehead veins bulged and throbbed. This shameless, useless wimp!Never once had he apologized to his own descendants. Not in the past, nor would he ever in the futur
Little did he know, Jason did not care at all about such things. All he did was for Susan's sake. "Return it to you? Impossible. However, if Susan will no longer encounter today's situation at the company, I may consider gifting it to you again.""As for when I'll gift it, that depends on Susan's mood. Also, if grandfather insists on dragging this out, I'm afraid Brown Group will go bankrupt..."His words instantly drained all color from the old man's face. He had almost forgotten about the massive crisis, all because of this useless fool's nonsense. Suddenly, Margaret Brown shrieked in terror, "Grandfather, this is bad! The company said Mr. Hill and some other partners have come to demand repayment. They said if it's not resolved, they'll make us use the entire Brown Group as collateral!""What? This...this absolutely cannot happen!" Scared pale, the old master grabbed his cane and scurried off as fast as his legs could carry him.Robert Brown and the others also screamed and rushed
Not having seen her for several days, Jason was quite fond of the little girl whom he regarded as a sister.Soon, Jason arrived at Emerald City Elementary just as school was letting out in the afternoon. The lively youthful energy was infectious, yet also chaotic with parents and caregivers blocking the school exits.Jason was truly massive in stature. In hindsight, he should not have readily agreed to Lawrence's request. The scene here was far too grandiose. With his fighting skills, he could barely squeeze through the crowd, and his car was parked several blocks away, leaving him shaking his head in exasperation. There was no other way. He could only stand by the side and wait. Batch after batch passed, but there was still no sign of Natalie."Hmm? Where's that girl?" Jason wondered suspiciously. Despite the bustling crowd, he was certain Natalie had not come out yet.By the time the crowd outside Emerald City Elementary thinned, Jason still did not see Natalie. Most people had alr
Mark and the chubby boys were dumbfounded. That was Big Bro Yellow Hair, yet he got knocked out by a single slap."Who...who is that person?"At this moment, Natalie unexpectedly cried out in pleasant surprise and disbelief: "Mr. Gray, how come you're here?"She absolutely did not expect Jason to appear. She planned to stall for time until her father arrived, yet unexpectedly it was Mr. Gray instead. This was truly a pleasant surprise. "Silly girl, you really made me search for you. Didn't expect you to be so popular at school." Jason jested.Upon hearing that, Natalie's face immediately flushed red in embarrassment.Meanwhile, Yellow Hair struggled up, frightened out of his wits. He screamed: "You dare hit me? Just you wait, I'm getting my boys right now. You're dead meat!"Speaking so, he fled even faster than a rabbit.As for Mark and the others, they had long scattered away in fear. Even Big Bro Yellow Hair was no match for that guy. It seemed this Natalie really did have someon
His nasal bone had even cracked with a "ka-cha" sound."Ah...ahhh..."Yellow Hair screamed miserably, covering his nose which was in excruciating pain as he rolled on the ground. But he still could not escape Tiger's blows.He did not even understand why Tiger was hitting him?Behind them, the others were even more dumbfounded, their expressions changing dramatically in fright. Had Tiger lost his mind? Why was he attacking his own? And so ruthlessly too?"This... this...""Tiger, are you...alright? You hit the wrong person! The bastard making trouble with us is that one!"But at his words, Tiger instead turned his head and glared at them in shock. He angrily berated: "You fools, why aren't you quickly kneeling down to beg the big boss to spare you? Whoever dares make big boss angry today, I'll skin you alive when we get back!"After saying so, he immediately knelt on the ground again, kowtowing nonstop while shivering in fright.That punch just now felt so satisfying. He really had no
