Chapter 548
Shane slowly answered the call with a grim face.
“Could the Bennett family withstand this?”
Sean’s voice rang again on the phone.
“You! You!”
Shane was so furious his blood boiled. His hands shook as he held the phone.
“I can withstand this!
Shane clenched his hands and replied through clenched teeth.
“Very well.”
Sean hung up again without further ado.
Bang! 1
Shane was still not pleased after slamming the handset onto its base. He grabbed the base and ripped
off the phone cable.
He finally stopped after throwing the whole phone onto the ground and smashing it to pieces.
He did not even want to take Sean’s calls right now.
Sean was like a god watching them make a fool of themselves from above.
It made Shane angry.and a little scared.
“Mr. Bennett, what do we do…”
The female secretary asked again as she looked at Shane with trepidation in her eyes.
“Hmph!
“Find Trusty Bank’s Xavier Leeman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I have been friends with him for years. Ask him to lend us some money first.
“Never mind. I’ll call him myself.”
Shane clenched his teeth with a flicker of madness in his eyes.
Sean was really trying to bring down the Bennett family this time!
The Bennett family might suffer huge losses if they could not survive.
However, Sean would be nothing in front of the Bennett family if they withstood this!
Shane picked up his cell phone and called Xavier.
“Buddy, you gotta help me…”
Shane went straight to the point as soon as the line got through.
“Buddy, I can’t help you.”
However, instead of his usual enthusiasm, Xavier on the other end of the line replied calmly.
“You! Has someone talked to you?
“We’re friends. We’ve been friends for more than ten years!” Shane suddenly realized and bellowed
into his phone.
“Buddy, I care more about myself and my family.
“So, that’s that for now.”
Xavier finished and hung up the phone.
Shane slowly lowered his hands and collapsed into the chair.
Someone stole the company funds, and they failed to secure a loan. Their capital chain was ruptured.
The company did not have any money now.
Thump thump thump!
Just then, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps outside the office.
“Mr. Bennett, I hear the company’s broke? What about our salary?”
“Isn’t our salary due tomorrow? We have rent to pay.”
“Pay us our salary, Mr. Bennett.”
More than thirty employees swarmed into the office.
Shane finally understood the idiom “Rats fleeing a sinking ship“.
“You petty creatures: My father has looked after you for so long. Can’t you wait for a while now that the
company’s in trouble?
“Doesn’t my dad treat you well?”
Jay suddenly got up and roared as he pointed at the crowd.
It was fine when he did not say that. As soon as he said so, it drew the crowd’s wrath.
“Young Master Bennett, how dare you say that when have we ever been paid on time?” “There’s no
performance reward, but you never go easy on us when deducting our pay!” “Our salary gets reduced
when other company raises their employee’s salary. Is that what you call treat us well?”
“There is no overtime pay and no holiday gifts. Do you think this company matters to us?”
Shane was silenced by the crowd’s statement.
All the problems that had accumulated previously had now exploded.
Shane was starting to panic.
He thought Sean would cause the Bennett family to lose a lot of money.
However, it seemed that there was more to what Sean was up to. Was he planning to ruin the Bennett
family?
Buzz buzz!
The cell phone on the desk rang.
Shane quickly picked it up and put the call through.
“Could you still withstand this?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSure enough, Sean sneered again on the other end of the line.
“You! You’re a loser!
“Just watch and see if I survive!‘
Shane swore and smashed his cell phone into pieces.
“Mr. Bennett, Mr. Johnson from River City Bank is here.
“He said that his private loan to you was exposed, and he now wants you to pay back the loan.
immediately…”
Just then, another news shocked Shane like a bolt from the blue.
He had paid Mr. Johnson a lot of money to get a loan from River City Bank.
Such a thing was commonplace, except when someone looked into it.
Now that the matter was exposed, forget about assuming responsibility, River City Bank wanted them
to pay back the loan. Where were they supposed to get the money?
Shane’s face went pale as he collapsed into his chair.
His face showed no more confidence.
He had already lost.
Luckily, he had already smashed both his landline phone and cell phone, so he did not have to hear
Sean’s laughter anymore.
“Mr. Bennett, someone just came by and asked me to ask you a question.”
Just then, a security guard walked in from outside the door.
“What is it?”
Shane turned his head slightly to look at the security guard.
“The person asked me to ask you if the Bennett family can still withstand this?”
The security guard spoke those words softly.
