Chapter 72 The Bank President's Apology
It was easy to confirm the payment.
In less than a minute, Emily confirmed that Skyview had indeed repaid the money!
Skyview just paid the debt back effortlessly!
After Skyview's repayment, Emily felt she had made a big mistake.
She felt a twinge of regret, and if she had known Skyview could repay the money, she wouldn't have come.
Hilda was even more anxious than Emily. He looked at Emily and impatiently asked, "Did that guy really repay the money?"
Emily replied, "Yes... he did."
Hilda exclaimed. "The whole debt, all repaid?"
Emily added, "All repaid!"
Hilda felt a wave of dizziness.
'Skyview actually repaid the money!
'He actually can afford the debt!
'He repaid without any hesitation,' thought Hilda.
The cruel reality seemed to slap on his face.
Hilda knew he was probably defeated. As long as the cash flow remained intact, Lakeview Express could survive. If Lakeview Express hadn't collapsed, Skyview would have won this bet.
Hilda found it hard to believe and even suspected he was dreaming!
John almost lost his composure. Although he managed to keep his emotions in check, he also knew he had lost!
Lakeview Express's cash flow was not broken! The fact that Skyview paid back the debt with ease indicated that Skyview not only had no financial gap but was also very well-funded.
John's plan's success was based on Skyview's lack of money. If Skyview had sufficient money, John's plan would have become a complete joke.
"Who would have thought Mr. Davis calculated everything but didn't realize that Skyview wasn't short of money at all!"
"Repaying Heavencrest Bank the debt so easily shows that Lakeview Express has no financial issues. Skyview has resolved the public opinion crisis and the lost packages issue. Now, the cash flow is very healthy. With Skyview's capability, Lakeview Express won't have any problems!"
"Skyview is so good, being able to gain the upper hand in a battle with someone as smart as John. It seems Dylan's choice of successor is wise!"
The board members whispered among themselves, expressing their approval of Skyview's capabilities.
Since Lakeview Express, under Skyview's leadership, hadn't failed, it already proved Skyview's ability.
In the eyes of most board members, Skyview had already passed the test.
Whether Skyview could lead the Twin Group to glory was still unknown, but under Skyview's leadership, the Twin Group's stable development was not a problem.
Many board members had already changed their attitude towards Skyview.
Skyview now showed a calm demeanor, looking at Hilda with a smile. "You wanted to see me fail, but you ended up being the joke. Isn't that ironic?"
"You couldn't possibly afford the debt! Where did you get the money?" Hilda asked with a confused expression.
What happened in front of Hilda was still quite bizarre to him. As a proud man, he never thought Skyview was a capable rival. But just when he thought he was about to win, Skyview effortlessly turned the tables, which was something Hilda, who considered himself a hundred times better than Skyview, couldn't accept.
"You're not my grandson, and I don't need to report to you." Skyview showed no respect for Hilda, looking at him with disdain. "You aren't qualified to ask me."
"You!" Hilda was furious.
John looked at Hekka suspiciously and asked, "Hekka, did you secretly lend money to Skyview? That would be against the rules!"
John couldn't understand where Skyview got the money from. After thinking it over, he could only come up with one possibility. That was, Hekka had violated the rules and lent money to Skyview. Otherwise, with Skyview's connections, it would be impossible to get so much money in such a short time.
"Mr. Davis, I respect you as a senior in the company, but you can't slander me like that!" Hekka said angrily, "You can check the company financial account, and see if I violated any rules. If you keep accusing me, I'll sue you for defamation!"
Hekka made a good point, leaving John speechless for a moment.
At this moment, the conference room door was pushed open again.
A middle-aged, round-faced man in a black suit and red tie, sweating profusely, ran in. He looked like someone who hadn't exercised in years and suddenly experienced a marathon.
"Michael, why are you here?" Emily was shocked.
She recognized the round-faced man as her boss, Michael, the president of Heavencrest Bank.
As the president of Heavencrest Bank, Michael was quite active in the business world. His distinctive physique made him easily recognizable, and most of the Twin Group's board members immediately recognized him.
John and Hilda were even more puzzled. Why did Michael suddenly come to the Twin Group?
Could it be that Skyview's repayment alarmed Michael?
John and Hilda both had a bad premonition.
Michael ignored Emily and walked straight to Skyview, bowing respectfully and apologetically. "Mr. Scott, I am deeply sorry. Due to our bank staff's mistake, you had to repay early. I apologize and hope you can accept my apology!"
Everyone was shocked.
Michael actually apologized to Skyview?
John couldn't understand. Just a few days ago, Michael had confidently told John that he would definitely press Skyview for repayment and push Lakeview Express to the brink. But now, Michael was humbly apologizing to Skyview. The change in his attitude was too abrupt!
What exactly happened? Everyone was completely in the dark, feeling that Skyview was somewhat unfathomable.
"Why apologize to me?" Skyview said calmly, "Debts should be repaid. You don't need to apologize to me!"
