Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 13 Please Let The Wallace Family Go

“Ahuh, time’s up, but I’m still totally fine,” Walt said, cocking his head to the side tauntingly.

However, right as he said that, his phone rang.

It was a call from his father.

The second the call connected. his father’s furious voice blasted out of the speaker, “You b*stard! Who have you crossed? You just put the Wallace family into hot water. Just wait. I’ll never know peace until I beat you into a pulp myself!”

What? Walt was astounded. What is he going on about?

Before Walt could recompose himself, a cracking sound came from the other end of the line. His father had thrown his phone at the peak of his anger.

Then, another call came in.

“Bad news, sir! The bank has urgently called for a stop to the two hundred million loan contract signed last week!”

“W–What? Why?” Walt shrieked.

“The bank said that the Wallace family is doomed. Giving us the loan right now would be akin to donating to charity! They’ll never get it back!”

“What f*cking nonsense is this? He’s the one who’s screwed! Our family will never be done for!” Walt snapped before hanging up.

Yet, in the next second, his phone rang again.

More and more calls came in, and Walt’s phone was never silent for more than a second.

He was getting bombarded by calls.

“Bad news, Mr. Wallace! The factory workers are telling us that the fire safety department said we failed the inspection and that we’re going to forcibly shut down the factory!”

“Mr. Wallace, three of our suppliers have announced they’re ceasing collaboration with us!”

Wallace, the cops have arrested your father!”
