Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 14 You Were The One Behind All Of This

“Yeah. My time is up, but I’m still perfectly fine, aren’t I?”

Walt’s entire demeanor oozed of sarcasm.

As soon as he spoke, his phone rang abruptly. It was his father calling.

When the call connected, his father’s furious voice came from the other end.

“You b******! Which big shot have you offended?”

“The Wallace family is in trouble because of you. I’ll be d***ed if you’re not dead by the time I’m done giving you a beating!”

What?

Walt was stupefied. What the hell is going on?

Before he could make sense of anything, the call ended with a loud crashing sound, as his father lost his temper and threw his phone onto the ground.

Then, he received another call.

“Sir, I have bad news. The loan contract of two hundred million that we’d signed last week was abruptly terminated by the bank!”

“W… What? Why?”

Walt exclaimed in shock.

“The bank said that it’s over for the Wallace family and that if they’d given us a loan, they’d have to face grave consequences!”

“F*** those pricks! They’re the ones who are going to be done for, not the Wallace family!”

Walt angrily hung up the call, but his phone immediately rang with another call.

His phone was bombarded by never ending calls

“Mr. Wallace, something bad has happened. The fire safety department has said that we’ve failed the inspection and that they’re going to forcibly shut the factory down!”

“Mr. Wallace, three of our suppliers have announced that they will no longer supply our company!”

“Mr. Wallace, your father has been arrested by the police.”

One bad news came after the other. Walt’s face paled slightly and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Beads of cold sweat had gathered across his forehead. A look of horror was sprawled across his face when he turned to stare at Alex in disbelief.

“It’s you… It’s you, isn’t it?”
