Leaving The Country After Divorce

CHAPTER 1875 REAL MAN

Danny kept mum. Regardless, he knew the fault wasn't his to bear, for Shawn was the one who put these people in charge.

Shawn was so frustrated that he felt like he was on the verge of exploding. “It's all over. I'm done this time. Two billion in funding, all gone!”

Even though Shawn had been in the business for a long time, he was still an amateur compared to Lucian.

His family had only given him two billion to make something of himself. If he did not succeed, that would mean that Crawford Heights Group in Horington would be declared bankrupt. Besides that, Shawn had relatives from other branches of his family that he had to answer to. After all, the amount of money he got was no small sum.

Shawn had a dejected expression on his face, complaining, “D*mn you, Lucian. Why are you constantly setting me up? I was too foolish! Unexpected situations always impact overseas businesses.”

With that, he waved his hand, asking Danny to leave.

Not long after, Coralie knocked on the door. She walked into the office directly when Shawn didn't respond to her.

Coralie gestured for the secretary to clean up the trash on the floor when she noticed Shawn's dazed look.

After the secretary cleaned up the place and walked out, Coralie threw a report onto the table before Shawn. Her voice was calm as she announced, “You've spent every penny of the capital given to you. Following this, you will have trouble managing the staff and office costs. There are two choices left for you now. Either you continue with your current venture by getting financing from others, or you must take out a loan with the bank.”

Shawn lifted his head. He looked lost and puzzled. “Coralie, it's highly impossible for me to beat Lucian!”

“Is that so? Why are you so afraid of failure? Grandpa failed in his business, too, all these years ago. But then, he managed to build our empire in the north side of the country, so why are you so worked up over this? It's not like you've run out of time to make something of yourself.” Coraline's voice was calm. She didn't care whether Shawn was too unhappy to listen to her words as she continued, “I've looked into it. The mineral land that Lucian bagged was not ample in size, and it could be developed relatively quickly. At the same time, he also has connections with the group that caused chaos this time, which means that he had ensured the resources would stay in his hands in advance. Hence, I can conclude that our background check was not thorough enough.”

“Coralie, this is not the time to analyze this information. My plan has gone down the drain. I don't know how I should face the pressure of those people when I get home.” Shawn grabbed a handful of his hair, frustration written all over his face.
