Chapter 62

At Audrey’s voice, William’s expression grew even darker.

William said, “Audrey, I am your father. Your money and my money are the same. Let

me tell you, even if I had the money, I wouldn’t give it to you!”

“Fine, then let’s see how

long the

nandez Group can last,” Audrey replied with a cold

smile, showing no regard for William’s words

“What do you mean?” William angrily demanded.

Audrey couldn’t be bothered to respond. Since he wanted to court disaster, she would let him experience it thoroughly,

Perhaps before, she would have hesitated, considering that he was her father.

But

now that she knew she and this man shared no blood relation, Audrey felt no obligation to consider him.

On the other end, William, furious after Audrey hung up on him, wore an expression of

rage.

If he had known she was born to bring him trouble, he would have strangled her at

birth.

“Mr. Hernandez, we can’t get through to Neptune Investment. The bank loans we’ve applied for have been rejected, and the other partners have all stated they’d rather pay breach of contract penalties than continue working with us,” the assistant reported.

The assistant had been busy all day, calling various parties, but neither Neptune Investment nor the banks nor any of the partners were willing to cooperate.

William hadn’t expected Audrey to go to such extremes and was livid.

“Try another bank. We need that project funding urgently,” William said.

“I’ve already contacted other banks, but they said…” The assistant glanced at William nervously. “They said Neptune Investment has warned that any bank that dares to lend. to the Hernandez Group will be declared bankrupt.”

Neptune–Investment, the largest private bank internationally, dealt primarily in cross- border banking, financial services, and investments.

With its influence, no bank in Northville dared to defy Neptune Investment.

William said. “Get me in touch with Neptune Investment’s manager. I’ll go see them personally!”

William couldn’t believe Audrey could exert such influence. Besides, he didn’t think Neptune Investment, with its international standing, would be swayed by a young

woman.

Now that the Hernandez Group couldn’t delay any longer.

been pushed to the brink, William knew he

If the banks refused to lend, the Hernandez Group would almost certainly not survive the month.

“We can’t reach them!” The assistant had tried contacting Neptune Investment dozens of times that day but never got through.

“I’ll go there myself,” William said.

William, face dark with anger, left the Hernandez Group building with his assistant.

The Neptune Investment building was located on Financial Street.

Although Northville was only a branch, as the largest private bank globally, its security was formidable.

As soon as William and his assistant entered the building, they were stopped by security and the receptionist.

“Sorry, sir, do you have an appointment? Without an appointment, you receptionist said.

go in,” the

William, who held a certain status in Northville, had never been treated this way. His

face darkened, and he shouted angrily, “I am the chairman of the Hernandez Group. I

need to see your manager!”

“Sorry, without an appointment, I can’t arrange that,” the receptionist replied politely.

William’s face grew even darker, and he tried to force his way in, only to be blocked and thrown out by several security guards.

“I am the chairman of the Hernandez Group! Who gave you the right to treat me like this?” William yelled, his face livid.

“Sir, if you try to enter without an appointment, we will have to call the police,” the security guard said.

The assistant quickly pulled William aside and said, “Mr. Hernandez, let’s go back and think of another way. There are too many people here. A scene might affect the

Hernandez Group’s stock price.”

Reminded by his assistant, William

nally calmed down and left with a cold snort.

However, news of William and

ssistant being thrown out of Neptune Investment

quickly made it to the internet, causing a stir online.

Netizen A: [Some people are really bold, trying to force their way into Neptune Investment. Don’t they know it’s the largest private bank internationally? They could easily deal with them.] This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Netizen B: [Oh wow, the Hernandez Group? This name sounds familiar. I have heard of it before.]

Netizen.C: [Oh, it’s familiar because it’s the company related to the once–popular–now- washed–up actress Sarah. She’s the heiress of the group.]

Netizen D: [Wait, so Sarah is the daughter of the chairman of the Hernandez Group who just got thrown out? Tsk. Tsk. Her career is over, and now her father’s following suit!]

Netizen E: [I have a relative working at Neptune Investment. Insiders say the Hernandez Group’s chairman offended someone, so Neptune Investment pulled their funding. Looks like the Hernandez Group is going bankrupt!]

The netizens quickly spread the news of the Hernandez Group’s impending bankruptcy, causing their stock to plummet. By the end of the trading day, the Hernandez Group’s stock had hit its limit down.

In the top–floor office of Neptune Investment’s headquarters.

“Mr. Danny Roach, the comers have been thrown out,” the female assistant said. respectfully to Danny.

The young man was tall and handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes, exuding a refined elegance.

No one would have guessed that the president of Neptune Investment was once a world–renowned top trader.

The assistant couldn’t understand why the president was targeting a small company like the Hernandez Group, which seemed insignificant.

“Also, by the end of the trading day, the Hernandez Group’s stock had hit its limit down.

I suspect someone is manipulating the stock maliciously,” the assistant said.

“Don’t worry about it. Just keep an eye on the Hernandez Group’s movements,” Danny said, uninterested in the stock plummet.

He glanced indifferently at the female assistant, and the assistant quickly left the room.

Once the office door closed, Danny made a phone call and said, “Was it you who manipulated the Hernandez Group’s stock?”

“Yes,” came the cool voice from the other end.

Danny said, “A small company like the Hernandez Group warranted your personal

attention?”

“I was bored, so I decided to stretch my skills a bit,” said the voice.

Dylan parked the car outside the Holland family.

“Are you coming in with me?” Brian asked, looking at Dylan.

Dylan glanced in the direction of the Holland family. A sad look passed through his deep eyes. “Your Mom doesn’t want to see me. I won’t go in.”

“Okay, then I’m going in,” Brian said.

“Go on.” Dylan ruffled Brian’s hair, his gaze full of affection.
