Chapter94 Everything is Over!
“Dad, they really left!”
Louis, having watched them go downstairs, soon returning to the office as he urgently reminded Frank.
Still panting heavily, Frank threw his ashtray to the ground out of frustration.
“This is too much!”
“But wait, shouldn't Ethan be begging us to give him the land?”
“What’s going on? Does he not want it anymore?” Louis's uneasiness grew stronger.
Ethan never played by the rule, with the trauma he left them before being a valuable lesson.
Frank felt like he and Louis had both fallen into a whirlpool, as if they had dug a big pit for themselves.
His expression was constantly changing, and his uneasiness grew stronger. He took a few deep breaths and lit a cigarette, forcing himself to gradually calm down from his anger. Afterward, he carefully recalled everything that had happened in the past two days.
Louis quietly stood by, afraid to even breathe. He was scared to hear any bad news from Frank!
This gloomy atmosphere lasted for at least 30 minutes, leaving Louis to the point where he could hardly breathe. All of a sudden, Frank threw away his cigarette.
“God damn it! We've been fooled!”
Louis's heart instantly sank.
Just at that moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Frank picked up the receiver with a fierce expression. Brent's voice came through the phone, leaving him stunned.
“Frank, what on earth have you done? Did you go insane for money?!”
His previous guess turned out to be true.
“I'm talking to you right now! Are you dead?”
Seeing him unresponsive for a while, Brent's angry voice echoed again.
“Brent, what happened?”
Suppressing his anger, Frank felt his hand tremble as he gripped the phone.
Brent angrily retorted, “You still have the nerve to ask? Shine Group and RP Investments called me simultaneously, saying they want to withdraw their investments.
What the hell happened? You did this, but you’re still asking?”
Just as he suspected, that b*tch Alice really teamed up with Ethan and fooled him. He actually fell right into their trap!
However, he couldn't understand. With her wealth, why would she conspire with Ethan to harm him?
Was it Ethan's idea, or hers?
He couldn’t deny that he had already transferred the $15 billion to Alice. Did this woman plan everything?
Frank was truly panicking this time. He ignored Brent's questions and ended the call, immediately dialing Alice.
However, the phone number was out of service.
In an instant, he slumped in his chair as his phone fell to the ground!
Louis was startled by his father's condition and quickly asked, “Dad, what's wrong?”
“It's over… Everything is over!”
Frank seemed to not even hear Louis's question, muttering to himself.
At the same time, news of Shine Group and RP Investment withdrawing their investments spread throughout Seattle like a sudden thunderbolt, leaving everyone shocked. It wasn't until Evander and Ethan's recorded conversations surfaced on the internet that people finally understood what happened.
From this, Frank was instantly thrust into the eye of the storm. After all, he was the one that caused the project to fail.
Anyone with a bit of sense in Seattle immediately severed all ties with QU Group. This also included the group’s business partners, who terminated their contracts.
The banks, concerned that Frank wouldn’t be able to pay the loan, requested a court freeze on QU Group's assets. They demanded him to repay the full loan within a month!
Everyone could see one outcome from this— QU Group was finished! Frank was finished!
At this moment, Sarah, who had been kept in the dark, finally understood Ethan's entire plan.
This wildly-talented young man was indeed formidable and mysterious, just as rumored. In just a few days, he singlehandedly brought QU Group to ruins, which was a behemoth of a company.
Just as Clarence had said, even after leaving Cloud Group, Ethan still shone brightly.
It had nothing to do with his identity; it was all his intellect and strength.
The news of Frank's impending doom quickly reached Wally's ears.
By this time, both Ares and Max were lying in hospital beds, with Ares’s most essential ‘part’ having to be removed with surgery.
This humiliation made Wally seethe, wanting revenge against Ethan.
When he heard that Ethan brought QU Group down, Wally had no choice but to suppress his anger.
However, what he didn't expect was that Frank would come and see him.
When his subordinates informed him that Frank was at the door, Wally hesitated for a full five minutes before allowing him in.
“I knew you’d come meet me!”
With his temples now graced with white hair, Frank seemed to have aged ten years overnight. He spoke calmly when he saw Wally.
“Coming to see me at a time like this, aren't you worried I'd kill you? You didn’t bring your precious son with you?”
In the past, Wally might’ve lowered his stance when facing Frank. However, now that the latter had become a universally-hated scapegoat, why would Wally stay polite?
Moreover, the event where Ethan left his two sons in a mess...
It was also related to Louis!
“I know you hate me, but now that things have come to this point, anger won't solve anything. Don't you want to avenge your sons?”
Frank smiled dismissively, with Wally seeing slight anger and hatred in his smile!
Wally sneered with squinted eyes, “Then shouldn't I just kill your son first?”
Frank grinned, “10 billion dollars; that should be enough to compensate for your son’s losses. Moreover, you have another son who can inherit from you, right?”
“What do you mean?” Wally's face instantly changed upon hearing this!
100 billion dollars was an astronomical figure for him!
After all, his total assets didn’t even exceed one billion dollars.
Frank explained calmly while narrowing his eyes, “My words are simple. If we join forces to deal with Ethan and succeed, I’ll give you that 10 billion! That way, you can avenge your son with no worries. With that amount of money, you and your sons can live well in any country!”
