Chapter 853 Forcing Rock to a Dead End
Winnie lazily curled her lips and shook her head while pointing at her phone. "The project department at the construction site hasn't contacted me, which means everything is going smoothly."
"Yeah, he gambled everything on one last shot. This has completely ruined him! I don't think the people in the project department are stupid. Who would dare to return the money to him? No one will help him." Olivia twirled her pen, her smile radiant.
At the Serene Haven Hotel construction site, in the project department.
Rock was gradually being crushed by Winnie's online maneuvers throughout the afternoon, driving him to the brink of madness.
At this moment, the project department manager, Brice Darden, was still avoiding visitors.
It was important to note that Brice was a subordinate Rock had personally placed there half a month ago; he was Rock's man!
Now, it was clear that Brice was hiding in his office, having seen the videos exposed online, and Carlos personally coming forward to accuse Rock of contract fraud. Brice must have betrayed him.
Rock couldn't take it. He was desperately waiting for those funds to fill the financial gap at Global Trust Bank. Only then would the Harrington Group avoid being seized, and he could address all the breach of contract issues step by step.
Brice dared to betray him, so he had his secretary gather a group of bodyguards to smash things at the project department entrance, trying to force Brice to give him the money!
Inside the office, Brice and others were also scared.
Rock had gone mad and was trying to break in and steal the money?
Brice had been watching Winnie's counterattacks, and by now, everyone understood that Rock was finished.
There was no way he could return the money to Rock from the project department; that would mean completely offending Winnie and Carlos!
Just as the department staff were about to be overwhelmed by Rock's attack, Brice received a phone call.
The caller was Lawrence.
Lawrence's steady and stern voice startled him, "Rock's money is in the construction site's account. Are you about to lose control? You haven't reported to Winnie because you still consider yourself Rock's man, or is there another difficulty?"
"Mr. Rodriguez, you..." Brice's face turned pale.
How did Lawrence know everything?
It was terrifying.
He had even figured out his identity. Winnie might not even know that he was Rock's man.
Lawrence chuckled coldly, "This is your chance to change sides. Don't say I didn't give you a chance, Mr. Darden. Rock is done for. Driving him away should be a piece of cake. If you handle this well, I won't tell Winnie about your past misdeeds. You can still be the manager of the Serene Haven Hotel project."
"Really?" Brice wasn't stupid. With Rock in such big trouble, only a fool would continue to stand by him.
Of course, he was willing to betray Rock now. "Mr. Rodriguez, tell me, how can I drive Rock away?"
Lawrence chuckled deeply, "Rally all the workers at the construction site to the project department entrance immediately. Also, open the door; the reporters I called are right outside."
Brice's eyes lit up, and he called his assistant, "Quick! Stop all the workers' tasks, show them the two videos released by Ms. Anderson, and get some people from outside. Give everyone some rotten vegetables and eggs. Do it now."
The assistant took the order and quickly went to work.
Just as Rock's bodyguards were about to break down the office door, a large crowd surged in from outside the construction site.
Rock, surrounded by his bodyguards, had a gloomy face and shouted coldly inside, "Brice, get out here! Unfreeze the funds in the account and give me the money! You are my subordinate. After working for Winnie for a few days, you don't recognize me anymore? Be careful, or I'll have my bodyguards kill you!"
His completely ferocious face emitted a sinister glow in the darkness.
Brice glanced at the reporters' cars arriving one after another outside the door, feeling much more at ease.
He stood out with his hands on his hips, mustering the courage to sneer, "Mr. Harrington, all your scandalous affairs have been exposed by Ms. Anderson. We've all seen your perverted videos. People act in their own interests; I think you understand this better than anyone."
He added, "After all, you even dared to scheme against Ms. Anderson's father! Now, to protect myself, I can't secretly return the funds to you. I don't want to go to jail. I'm also trying to make amends. You should understand that you can't get this money back."
"Even you dare to betray me." Rock, full of rage, lost control and lunged at Brice, kicking and punching him.
Suddenly, a group of construction workers surrounded them.
There were not only men but also some women.
Everyone stared at Rock with strange looks, discussing with their eating utensils from the construction site, "Isn't that the guy I saw on the news today?"
"That's him. I heard he's our big boss Winnie's husband, doing such disgusting things at the club."
"And this kind of man is managing the Serene Haven Hotel project."
"Such a bad man should be castrated. Think about how miserable we women are. Even Ms. Anderson, with all her money, still gets abused by this man."
"Is he trying to hit Mr. Darden now?"
"Don't let him succeed! Mr. Darden, don't be afraid. We're all here."
"Yeah, Mr. Harrington, leave the construction site. You can't take the money! What about our wages? How will Mr. Darden pay us without money?"
"Rock is trying to save his company by not paying us!"
"Quick, stop him, beat him up!"
Rock's bodyguards were stunned by the hundreds of workers rushing over.
A dozen bodyguards were helpless.
Rock's face changed dramatically.
At this moment, several cars pulled up at the construction site entrance, and a large group of reporters poured out.
Seeing Rock, the reporters' eyes lit up, and they rushed over, "Rock is over there!"
"Quick, go interview him!"
"Mr. Harrington! Do you have any explanations after Winnie released those explosive videos?"
"Did you really cheat on your secretary right after you got married?"
"Did you fabricate evidence of Winnie and Mr. Rodriguez's entanglement to frame her?"
"The evidence of your domestic violence against Winnie is conclusive. Winnie provided an injury report. How do you explain that?"
"Carlos personally came forward to expose you. You and Ishara forced him to take medication, damaging his brain, and tricked him into signing the Serene Haven Hotel project manager contract! You don't have legal control over the Blanchet Group, do you?"
"Are you now forcing Mr. Darden to return the invested funds to you?"
"Get lost." Rock, facing the reporters' questions, gradually lost his sanity, his bloodshot eyes becoming even more menacing.
