Chapter 75

Sonia pondered for a few seconds. “For now, go negotiate with the presidents of these banks and see if they’re willing to change their minds. Also, use that as an opportunity to get a grasp on whether Titus is the one pulling

the strings.”

“Okay,” Daphne answered. Seemingly having thought of something, she asked, “Should I report this to President

Lane?”

 

“No.” Sonia shook her head. “Charles will be busy running his own company. I don’t want to bother him.”

“Alright.”

 

After Daphne left, Rebecca from the finance department came. “President Reed, what’s going on? I got a fecalls from multiple banks. They’re urging us to repay our loans immediately. Haven’t we just gotten them? Why are they telling us to pay when it’s not even time yet?” Rebecca questioned as she walked up to Sonia’s desk.

Sonia pinched the bridge of her nose. “Can’t you see that we’re being targeted?”

“By who?” Rebecca slammed her palm on the desk.

A chilly glint fleeted across Sonia’s gaze. “I suspect Titus is behind this, but I have no evidence yet.”

“That will have to wait. We need to prioritize solving the crisis regarding our capital. The main funds that are

Sonia pulled her lips into a thin line. Of course I’m aware of the graveness of the situation.

“President Reed.” A knock came from the dooagain.

When Sonia glanced in its direction, she saw Daphne standing there while shaking her head regretfully. “I already

tried negotiating with the banks. Those that have yet to offer a loan refused to do that no matter how I tried to

convince them, whereas those that already loaned us money were adamant about us repaying our loans. What should we do, President Reed?”

Sonia clenched her fist before raising yet another question. “Did they tell you if Titus is behind this?”

“Nope. I did ask, but none of them gave a clear response. It was as if they were fearing something,” Daphne replied.
