Chapter 854 Fleeing in Embarrassment
The reporters paused for a moment, looking at his terrifying appearance, but there were hundreds of construction workers around.
The reporters still pressed forward, with a contemptuous sneer, "Mr. Harrington, please don't evade our questions. When did you start harboring a grudge against Winnie and begin plotting against her? Winnie just announced through the media that she is suing you for divorce."
"Given that you are the one who cheated in the marriage, and you have also committed domestic violence against Winnie, plus the Harrington Group is now facing multiple difficulties, it seems you have little chance of winning this divorce case. Will you respond to Winnie's divorce lawsuit?"
Rock said, "Get lost! Shut up! The Harrington Group won't fall, and Winnie can forget about the divorce. That bitch Winnie and Lawrence are together, and now she wants to take my money. Why don't you go interview them? What you see is not the truth!"
Rock cursed uncontrollably, his usually gentle eyes now bloodshot.
His appearance was captured on camera, and the onlookers around him thought he looked like a demon at that moment.
The reporter who had just asked the question was also angry and let out a cold laugh, "Mr. Harrington, the evidence of your affair has already been released, and you still deny it? The video Winnie released has been analyzed by experts and is genuine, not fabricated. Moreover, the public also believes Carlos's statement. I think you are indeed quite stubborn."
The surrounding workers let out sighs.
Rock stared at the reporter fiercely and shouted, "You are sent by Winnie to slander me! Stay away from me!"
Others said, "Rock is really shameless."
"That's why he can act. In the morning, he was slandering Winnie online, trying to use uninformed netizens to deal with Mr. Rodriguez."
"Does he still have no remorse?"
Brice shook his head from a distance through the crowd, "Mr. Harrington, you see! Hundreds of workers on the construction site are waiting for me to pay their wages. You were eager to start The Serene Haven Hotel project to make big money. Now that your investment is in motion, there's no reason to withdraw it! Please don't withdraw your investment; it's the workers' wages!"
"I'm withdrawing my investment now! This is the Blanchet Group's hotel project. Go to Winnie to get the money for wages and return my money to me!" Rock, losing his sanity, still wanted to charge forward.
Hearing this, the hundreds of workers were simply furious.
Seeing that their wages were about to be lost, someone in the crowd shouted, "Everyone, stop Rock!"
"We won't let you take the money and leave!"
"Rock, get off our construction site!"
"Everyone, vent your anger for Ms. Anderson, hit him!"
The workers, strong and incited, rushed forward to beat Rock.
Some threw vegetables at him, and some even threw real eggs.
The reporters retreated to the side, almost getting caught in the chaos, watching in astonishment.
"Bodyguards? Protect me!" Rock's forehead was quickly hit by an egg, and the yolk slid down his embarrassed eyes, blurring his vision instantly.
The workers became even more reckless in their attack.
The bodyguards in front of Rock were quickly overwhelmed and unable to fight back.
The secretary, pale-faced, also complained in his heart. Of all the people Rock could offend, he chose to make trouble with these uncouth workers on the construction site. Now, it would be difficult even to escape.
He quickly turned to protect Rock, whispering urgently, "Mr. Harrington! Be rational. If you touch their wages, these people will kill you. They are throwing things at you, and the reporters are filming everything. Soon, your image will be all over the internet. Your image was already bad today, and if this continues, what will the Harrington Group's partners think of you?"
He continued, "The reputation of the Harrington Group will be utterly destroyed. You need to leave! These people won't show any mercy!"
Rock also realized that these workers had come very suddenly.
It was even more suspicious that the reporters could find this place so quickly.
His eyes flickered, and he immediately thought that this was likely arranged by Lawrence!
That bastard Lawrence.
He was angry, but he couldn't get any funds now. Not only could he not get his money back, but he was also being mocked and beaten by these people.
"Mr. Harrington, hurry up." The secretary shielded him from the blows.
Rock coldly dragged two bodyguards in front of him and quickly escaped from the crowd.
It wasn't until he got into the car and looked in the mirror that he realized how pathetic he looked!
From a business elite, he had fallen to the level of a street rat. He opened his mouth, and his lips were covered in blood.
The secretary in the front turned around to help him clean off the egg residue. When he touched Rock's lips, Rock trembled in pain and immediately slapped him, "Are you blind? It hurts!"
The secretary, slapped and pale, was startled.
His slightly drooping hand quietly clenched into a fist.
If he hadn't needed to stay with this perverted man, he wouldn't have had to endure this.
"Mr. Harrington, the company just received many compensation calls, and the president of Global Trust Bank personally called to probe you. What should we do now? The company's account only has 30 billion dollars left that can be moved."
Rock slumped in his seat, his fists clenched coldly, his eyes bloodshot, "Transfer the 30 billion dollars to my personal account immediately, and don't touch it under any circumstances!"
"You want to stash it privately? But, if the company shareholders find out..."
"This is my personal money! Keep your mouth shut." Rock warned him.
The secretary didn't dare to speak again.
In the darkness, Rock's face was as sinister as a demon. He wiped the blood from his lips fiercely and took out his phone, dialing a number coldly.
The first time, no one answered.
The second time, still no answer.
He let out a cold laugh and continued to call. This time, Ronnie answered, very angry, "Rock, why are you calling now?"
Rock, dejected, leaned against the car window, his voice dark but with a smile, "Mr. Thomas, why so distant? I am your most loyal partner. Now the Harrington Group is facing some difficulties, attacked by Lawrence. I think you also want to kill Lawrence, right?"
"Can you lend me 50 billion dollars first? Help me pay off the Global Trust Bank loan. Don't worry, the interest won't be less for you. When I turn things around, I'll pay you back 1.5 times."
"Borrow money?" Ronnie chuckled softly, speaking earnestly, "Rock, you know the impact of Lawrence's new product launch on the Peterson Group is no less severe than on the Harrington Group! Where am I supposed to get 50 billion dollars for you?"
"Mr. Thomas, for someone as powerful as you, this is nothing. You've secretly taken much more than 50 billion dollars from the Rodriguez Group over the decades. I promise, I'll work for you loyally for the rest of my life. Now we should unite to deal with Lawrence!"
