Chapter 283 Personal Assets
The slap was so hard that everyone was stunned!
Margaret, who covered her rapidly swelling face, looked at William in disbelief.
This useless guy, when did he ever dare to hit her like this?
Oh, right, it happened a few times before, too.
Thinking about the previous times, Margaret felt even more furious.
A good-for-nothing, daring to hit her repeatedly, and she was his mother-in-law, holding a significant position in the family!
"You dare to hit me? Did you all see that? This loser actually dared to hit me!" Margaret screamed hysterically, trying to scratch him.
But William kicked her hard in the abdomen, causing her to fall backward and landing on her butt, from which she screamed in pain.
"Margaret! I've warned you many times, but you keep crossing my line. Do you really think I won't do anything to you?" William said coldly, his fists clenched. Without Mary holding him back, he would have given Margaret a harsh lesson today!
Margaret lay on the ground, her stomach aching, and she started crying and wailing, "This is outrageous. Look at this, a son-in-law hitting his mother-in-law, is there any justice left? Can I still live in this house? Tyler, are you dead? William hit me, and you're just standing there doing nothing?!"
Margaret was trembling with anger but also felt scared inside.
The cold killing intent from William just now made Margaret feel genuinely frightened.
So, she turned her anger towards Tyler.
Tyler, helpless, shook his head and advised, "William, after all, she is your mother-in-law, maybe just let it go."
"Shut up! It's because of your constant tolerance that she has become so arrogant and without any boundaries!" William shouted, his eyes filled with anger.
Tyler knew this, too, feeling very conflicted. Indeed, as the man of the house, he was being overshadowed by a shrew like Margaret.
Seeing Tyler hesitate, Margaret was furious, scolding, "Tyler, you're a grown man. And you don't even dare to discipline your son-in-law? You're just a loser, just like William. I must have been blind to marry you! I want a divorce!"
Margaret was enraged and threatened with divorce.
Tyler was very frustrated and completely helpless.
He got angry and shouted back, "Divorce then! I've had enough of you. I've told you so many times, a person needs to have boundaries. I told you to behave, but you just wouldn't listen. You just look down on me for being incompetent, right? Fine, then leave. Go back to the Turner family!"
This outburst left Margaret stunned.
She was just saying it out of anger, and now the Turner family was no longer in Lindwood City.
She never dared ask why her family went bankrupt, fearing they'd ask her for debt repayment help.
Suddenly, Margaret broke down, crying and cursing, "Fine, fine, you all are ganging up on me, right? I'm so pitiful. You two ingrates, helping outsiders to bully me. I might as well be dead."
Mary remained silent all this time. Seeing Margaret throwing another tantrum, she simply pulled William upstairs.
She didn't want to get entangled with Margaret; it was pointless.
Tyler also snorted a few times and went into his study.
In the entire living room, only Margaret was left crying and wailing. After crying for some time, she finally quieted down.
The next day, Evander hosted a banquet at a restaurant, inviting all the major directors of BK Pharmaceuticals.
Keith was there, too.
Now, they were all feeling extremely pleased with themselves.
Someone asked, "Mr. Carter, why the sudden extravagance today?"
Another chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Carter, do you have some good news to announce?"
A voice asked, "Has BK Pharmaceuticals gone bankrupt?"
Evander, smoking a cigar, smiled and said, "BK Pharmaceuticals is nothing. I never took it seriously. The Carter family has never failed to take down its targets. I'm here to tell you all that BK Pharmaceuticals has gone bankrupt, and a new company will be established. At that time, I hope you all will join me in clearing the obstacles in Lindwood City and taking this big cake for ourselves."
"A new company? Mr. Carter, what do you mean by that?" several directors asked eagerly.
"I will establish a company that will completely integrate the pharmaceutical industry in Lindwood City. By then, we won't just be talking about a few billion or tens of billions of dollars, but hundreds of billions!" Evander said, proud of his grand ambitions.
Hearing this, all the directors in the private room gasped in surprise. It turned out that Evander was targeting BK Pharmaceuticals to monopolize the profit of Lindwood City for himself.
"Mr. Carter, I'm still a bit worried. Although we collectively withdrew our investments, BK Pharmaceuticals is backed by the Jones Group from Imperial City. If they..." someone asked with concern.
At this moment, Keith laughed loudly, saying, "Don't worry about that. The Jones Group from Imperial City may be a bit stronger than the Carter family, but don't forget the force backing the Carter family."
For a moment, all the directors had expressions of shock and awe.
'Could it be that this whole thing is orchestrated by the force behind the Carter family?' they guessed inwardly.
Evander smiled and said, "I can't reveal too much about this, but you just need to know that the Jones Group from Imperial City is no longer a threat."
Hearing these words, everyone finally felt at ease.
At this moment, Keith received a phone call and immediately burst into laughter.
"Keith, what's making you so happy?" Evander asked.
"Dad, someone from the company just told me that Mary is meeting with a new investor. It's hilarious, who would dare invest in BK Pharmaceuticals now?" Keith said, laughing disdainfully.
Evander nodded in agreement and said, "It's probably just for show. Don't worry. BK Pharmaceuticals is doomed!"
Everyone raised their glasses, celebrating in advance.
'As long as there's money to be made, who cares whose company it is.' they thought.
Meanwhile, Mary had arranged to meet a new investor today, recommended by William.
She was initially skeptical, but since it was recommended by William, she decided to give it a try.
Soon, Mary met the new investor at the agreed location, accompanied by a sexy blonde assistant.
"Oh, Ms. Smith, it's a pleasure to meet you," Bennett greeted warmly.
He didn't dare to neglect Mary as she was William's wife.
"Hello, Mr. Caldwell, I am the chairwoman of BK Pharmaceuticals," Mary said with a polite smile.
Bennett glanced at his sexy assistant, who promptly prepared two cups of coffee and then stood quietly behind him.
Bennett got straight to the point, "Ms. Smith, I have already reviewed your company's situation. You are currently short of about three billion dollars."
Mary nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Caldwell, BK Pharmaceuticals is indeed facing a financial shortfall. But please believe that once we get through this crisis, our future growth will be on par with those top 500 pharmaceutical companies. You should be well aware of BK Pharmaceuticals' value in Lindwood City. We have a market worth billions of dollars."
Bennett nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, Ms. Smith. I must admit, your company has immense market potential, but a three-billion-dollar investment is no small amount."
Mary became anxious. Did he not have enough funds?
Well, she hadn't pinned all her hopes on this meeting anyway.
Suddenly, Bennett said, "But, out of respect for Mr. Jones, I have decided to make this investment in your company,"
Out of respect for William?
Mary was deeply shocked. A three-billion-dollar investment was agreed upon just like that?
This was too fast!
At first, Mary hadn't relied solely on William's friend. However, it appeared she had undervalued William's connections.
His friend actually agreed to a three-billion-dollar investment so easily!
Wasn't he restricted by his family from accessing his assets?
Mary was utterly shocked, unsure of how to express her feelings.
It seemed that William was not just a simple member of the Jones family.
Was William's true identity really the young master of the Jones Group from Imperial City?
She'd been married to William for three years but never truly knew him, assuming he was just an ordinary man.
But with everything that had happened recently, Mary suddenly realized that William might not be so simple after all.
"Mr. Caldwell, are you really agreeing to this investment?" Mary asked in astonishment.
"Of course, the investment will be made into BK Pharmaceuticals very soon. Please rest assured," Bennett said with a smile. His assistant immediately took out a contract, already signed and sealed.
In other words, as long as Mary signed it, the investment would be finalized!
Mary suddenly felt it was all unreal. She stared at Bennett in a daze, weakly asking, "Mr. Caldwell, I want to know, is this investment from you or my husband? Please answer me honestly."
"Ms. Smith, this investment..." Bennett said, looking conflicted. He was in a difficult position as William had warned him not to easily reveal his identity or his overseas assets.
