A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1438 New Year's Day

Even if it were Darren's double who was arrested, his life was still left in shambles. His actions had caused problems for a lot of people. Not only had he offended the HT Group being led by Jacob, he had also agitated the Ke Family.

The fact that he had recently suffered a major loss with one of his business ventures made it even harder for him to recuperate. The plan had been to buy a massive piece of land and build gorgeous villas that would sell for a high price. Unfortunately, the foundation couldn't even be laid out because of the sediment underneath. If only Darren had known of this beforehand, he would have been in a better state financially.

All of his business partners, whom he had considered dear friends for so many years, withdrew their shares from his company. After some research, Darren found out that most of his partners' departures had been caused by Jacob and the Ke Family.

Additionally, the head of a large construction company called him on the phone and said, "Mr. Xu, I know that we've been good friends and business partners for so long. But I'm sorry to say that we have to cut ties now. Our company's interests are largely focused on making enough money."

Darren was in disbelief about what he had just heard. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked, "How much money did they give you? You're withdrawing your investment without hesitation! How could you throw away our friendship just like that?"

"Mr. Xu, please don't joke around. What good is it for me to stay with a company that will soon be gone? I will not waste my entire life's hard work on some silly friendship!" The head of the construction company even mocked Darren. "If you don't mind, Mr. Xu, I can cut you in for a decent price with the deal I have with Jacob. You can take it as a token of gratitude for our wonderful friendship."

Darren's eyes widened in rage. He couldn't believe the things that he was hearing.

'Close a deal together? Cooperate with the man who ruined my life?

The shameless fat bastard must be out of his mind!' Darren thought to himself.

He looked like all life in him had been sucked out. He didn't bother to respond and simply hung up the phone. In a fit of rage, he raised his hand and threw his phone all the way to the adjacent wall. Everyone near his office heard the impact, but amazingly, the phone was still working and only had a cracked screen.
