Peter was stunned as he covered his cheek with his hand. After a short while, he yelled at Charlie, i "You piece of
thrash! How dare you hit me!" 4 Charlie sneered before he said, "Why? Why wouldn't | dare hit you? If | want to
hit you, you'll just have to deal with it." 1
After that, Charlie raised his hand and slapped Peter again. At this time, Peter's cheek was already swollen. 3
Even though Claire was also very disgusted with Peter, Charlie had already slapped him twice.
Therefore, she was a little worried and she hurriedly said, "Charlie, what are you doing? Didn't | tell you not to
recklessly start a fight with anyone?" 2
She was not worried about herself but she was worried that Peter would exact revenge on Charlie. After all, Peter
was still the boss of a reputable company. How could he possibly keep calm after getting hit by Charlie? 5
True enough, Peter was completely annoyed and irritated at this time. He pointed his finger at Claire before he
said, "You, the one with the last nWilson! If you do not compensate and appeaseafter what your
husband has done today, I'll kill him! I'll make sure that he disappears from Aurous Hill immediately!"
As soon as Claire heard the word ‘compensate’, she started to lose her temper immediately. "You're so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshameless!"
"Shameless?" Peter snorted coldly. "Don't you think | don't know that the Wilson family has already kicked you
out of the family a long tago! Do you really think that you're still the young lady of the Wilson family? Let me
tell you something, | am Peter Murray and | have a very established reputation in Aurous Hill. If you do not want
satisfied with your performance, | could still force myself to forgive you!" 4
Claire was trembling with anger and she replied in a sharp manner, "Peter! You're really a shameless b* stard!" i
"I have all the power and wealth in the world. So, what's wrong withbeing shameless?" Peter asked.
At this time, Charlie stood up before he said, "You with the last nMurray, listen up! You're already bankrupt
so don't tellabout how powerful or wealthy you are." 5
"What did you just say?" 2
Peter was taken aback and he did not know how to retaliate at all.
He was about to yell at Charlie when his cell phone started ringing again.
Peter did not want to answer his phone but his phone kept ringing continuously. 3 "Hello, what do you want?"
"Mr. Murray, | have bad news for you! The shareholders of the company that wanted to work with us have
suddenly changed their mind! They want to withdraw their partnership with us." "What?" The expression on
Peter's face changed immediately. "I'll give them a call immediately."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Murray. They are not the only ones withdrawing all cooperation with us. Emgrand Group, who
has always had a long term partnership with our company, had also called to withdraw their partnership with the
company. Moreover, all the other directors have also called...to request to cancel all the contracts that they have
with us..." 5
Peter was so stunned that he was completely at a loss for words.
However, the voice on the other end of the line continued speaking.
"Moreover, currently, four other companies have already called to ask Millenium Enterprise to pay a huge sum
for liquidated damages..." 4
"Mr. Zenith, the CEO from PrFinancial Group, also called because he wanted to recover the two hundred and
eighty million dollars loan that we took from them. He wants us to transfer that sum of money to their bank
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaccount tomorrow. Otherwise, he'll lodge a legal proceeding against us and all of the real estate that we have
under construction will be seized immediately." 3
"Besides that, the City Union Bank, the Construction Bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and the
Agricultural Bank have also called to collect the debts that we owe them. If we do not settle all the previous
loans that we have taken from them by noon tomorrow, they will auction off all the company's assets..." 2
Peter was sweating profusely at this tand he was turning pale as he started to break out in cold sweat.
What was going on with the world?
Was he having a nightmare?
Why did it seem as though all the unfortunate events were coming at him all of a sudden?
It was as if all those companies had made a pact to deal with him! 1
What was happening?
What was really happening?
