Chapter 35: Devil of Capital
Brandon was shocked.
Brandon was greatly frightened!
If what Skyview said was true, then Brandon was in big trouble.
"Are you kidding me?" Brandon's voice trembled.
The consequences of it were too unbearable for him!
Brandon really hoped that Skyview was joking, but he also understood that Skyview was definitely not joking.
"Why don't you check Facebook? Everyone online is talking about the scandal!" Skyview chuckled. "And you can also check the stock trend of EliteVision Films!"
Brandon took a deep breath and then opened his own phone.
Brandon also used Facebook.
In fact, Brandon was very up-to-date on trends. He enjoyed using TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter.
Opening Facebook, Brandon saw the top trending topic.
The top topic, "Donovan caught using drugs!", popped out.
'Donovan is finished! Donovan is completely finished!' Brandon felt like crying!
His sixty million investment!
If Donovan had done drugs, the upcoming movie release would be impossible, causing significant losses!
If Donovan were in front of Brandon, Brandon would definitely give Donovan a hard slap and scold him for his stupidness.
'Why did he use drugs, and in public at that, and get reported by someone? What idiot uses drugs in public?!' Brandon felt more and more furious.
Brandon then checked the stock market trends.
EliteVision Films' stock had indeed plummeted!
What's most important in the stock market? Investor confidence!
With Donovan's drug scandal exposed, EliteVision Films' stock plunged drastically! Everyone had lost confidence in EliteVision Films!
After the Twin Group deliberately shorted EliteVision Films' stock, it plummeted uncontrollably. Overnight, Brandon's wealth decreased by ninety percent! His stocks worth sixty million were now only worth six million!
And in reality, he couldn't even sell the six million worth of stocks, as there would be no takers!
Brandon had suddenly became a poor man!
Before the scandal, Brandon held stocks worth sixty million and had a very healthy cash flow, with some minor debts to the bank. His financial situation was pretty stable.
But now his sixty million had evaporated, the bank wouldn't sympathize with him and would demand repayment upon knowing his stocks had plummeted!
Brandon knew he was finished!
Brandon's mind went blank and he lost consciousness for a full ten seconds. He almost fainted!
But Brandon was a self-made man, with very strong mental resilience. Although he had suffered a major blow, he quickly tried to maintain his emotions. However, the pain in Brandon's heart remained.
"Is this all your doing?" Brandon glared at Skyview.
Skyview calmly replied, "I'm not God, how could I control Donovan doing drugs? I just shorted EliteVision Films' stock and made their investor lose more confidence! You're just one of these failed investors."
"You're really something!" Brandon looked at Skyview with awe, bitterly smiling. "I thought you were just a lucky inheritor of five billion, but you turned out to be a capable person! I concede."
"Sign the agreement," Skyview said.
With a dark expression, Brandon wrote his name on the stock transfer agreement.
Brandon had hit rock bottom.
If Brandon still had money like before, Skyview's video wouldn't threaten him.
But now, Brandon was on the brink of bankruptcy, and Skyview's video was enough to ruin him. Brandon could only admit defeat.
"Well, I was planning to buy your company for five million, but you're too stubborn, so now I can only give you one million!" Skyview handed Brandon a one million dollar check. "Also, since you signed it so quickly, I'll give you some good news!"
"What good news?" Brandon asked.
Skyview said, "You and your wife had a child before marriage, right?"
"That's right! My wife got pregnant, and we hurriedly got married. It's one of my biggest regrets," Brandon replied.
"You both had pre-marital check-ups, right?" Skyview asked.
"Of course, we were both healthy," Brandon replied.
"You're wrong. Your wife secretly swapped your medical report. In fact, you're infertile, but you have a son named Connor. Isn't that weird?" Skyview revealed.
"This can't be possible!!!" Brandon's face changed drastically.
Brandon was on the verge of madness.
Connor, the son he had raised for twenty years!
If he found out that this son wasn't his own, Brandon would go crazy!
Twenty years of dedication would be in vain!
And Brandon would become the most tragic husband in human history!
Brandon simply couldn't believe Skyview's words.
But once the seed of doubt was planted, it would take root and grow.
"There are hospitals everywhere now, you can go get a check-up! Don't go to the hospital you went to before; those doctors might have been bribed by your wife to deceive you!" Skyview smirked, "And you can take Connor's hair to the hospital for a paternity test!"
"Are you a devil?" Brandon said, a bitter smile on his face, tears gushing out.
Skyview had destroyed everything for Brandon!
Meanwhile, at HealthPro Medical Devices Company.
"Mr. Mitchell, I'm very sure that our price is already the most favorable, and the quality is also the best!" Willow looked helplessly at Connor and said. "I don't know why you would refuse our order?"
"Willow, I'm not playing games with you. To be honest, do you want this order or not?" Connor went completely mad, threatening Willow, "If you want to make the deal happen, come with me to the bar for drinks; if you make me happy, I'll give you the order! Otherwise, just go lost."
Willow was furious, wishing she could smash the folder in her hand on Connor's head!
Despite all of Willow's efforts, Connor still obstinately clung to her, displaying a level of rudeness that was simply intolerable! In that moment, Willow felt the urge to retreat to the safety of her home. Handling such a man was proving to be excessively challenging, leaving her vulnerable to being exploited!
