Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 385

A LawsuitIn the VIP lounge of the bank, the bank president—Remus Sawyer—was seated on the couch with an apologetic look as he tried to explain, “I wish I could approve the loan for the Olson Family, but right now, the Anti-Corruption Commission is breathing down my neck; one wrong move is all it takes for these people at the ACC to drag me in for an interrogation. I’m afraid my hands are tied.”

A few days ago, an anonymous letter had been addressed to the Anti-Corruption Commission, and after looking into these matters, the Commission had called Remus over to their offices that morning for a brief chat over a cup of coffee.

As things were, he knew that he had to draw the line with the Olson Family before the Commission cracked down on the case. The Olson Family would go down alongside his career the moment the Commission decided they had both been guilty. Johan was now pacing the lounge with a grim look. It took a while before he stopped and sat down next to Remus to urge, “Find a way out of this, or search for another bank willing to approve a loan in our favor. We’ve already told the public that we’d be acquiring the Griffiths’ business! What will the people say if they find out our plans have been stymied?”

Remus sighed. “Vicious rumors spread much faster than you might think. There are no other banks who would consider approving a loan for you, at least not without first putting their lives on the line. How about if you push this acquisition back by a year, or maybe half a year?” “Don’t be ridiculous, Mr. Sawyer. The stock market is as brutal as it is volatile, but it thrives on information and rumors. We can’t afford to wait that long. Besides, you promised us that you’d approve the loan, that you’d take care of it. And now here you are, leaving us high and dry!”

Amelia accused, her voice rising by several octaves. “I…” Remus couldn’t find the words to defend himself because she was right. “I wish I could keep my promises, but I didn’t think the Commission would take an interest in this all of a sudden!” The next morning, a Twitter thread began trending around cyberspace.

At the time the Olson Family was supposed to kick off their much-anticipated press conference, Alexander had taken to his personal Twitter account to announce that he had invested hundreds of billions of capital into Frazier Pharmaceuticals, thereby becoming the company’s second largest shareholder. He also cleverly attached a photo of himself exchanging a friendly handshake with Nathan.
