Chapter 20 How Bitter Can It Be
Chapter 20 How Bitter Can It Be
Justin stopped and inclined his head to look askance at the dean on the ground, "Well? You're still
alive, aren't you? But my wife's life is really gone, you used my wife's life to exchange for your social
status and fame. Do you think you are worthy of that? You owe her, and I'm going to get every bit of it
back from you!"
In the following day, news of the dean sleeping around with women and obtaining massive returns by
colluding with pharmaceutical companies was spread, causing turmoil in the entire industry.
The dean dare not go out and his wife filed for divorce, in end up, his hair went gray in two days.
The Barrett Group’s share price yesterday went well, suddenly it fell this day. A large number of stocks
concentrated on selling, within a week, it could not change the fact that the shares kept daily falling.
Retail investors had no confidence and followed to sell, so its share price dropped, but then a number
of private equity funds bought it with low price. Watching its share price slowly climbed up, the retail
investors followed to buy it again. Two days later, private equity funds sold it again, so it dropped for a
week.
The retail investors were panic. After selling it, they no longer bought it again. Whether state-owned
banks or commercial banks no longer approved the loans from the Barrett Group, Davis could only use
all his fortune in the bailout, and eventually even mortgaged his house to the bank.
Davis tried to seek for Justin's help, but Justin's cell phone was answered by his secretary, saying that
Justin had gone to a meeting abroad, for commercial secrets, he could not answer the phone. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Davis could just wait for Justin to return from abroad to offer him help. It was obvious that someone
was screwing him, but he failed to find out who was behind.
So many private equity accounts across the country have banded together to short its share price,
leaving the company with no room to fight back.
There was no news from Justin, so Davis wanted to mortgage "Blue Forest Court", but just before the
mortgage was submitted, it was stopped by Justin.
When Davis learns of that, he took Esther to find Justin, thinking that his savior had finally arrived.
But when he found Justin at the altar of Blue Forest Court, he saw Justin polishing Lucia's photo frame,
next to a picture of Lucia's mother.
Davis swallowed ......
Justin put down the white cloth in his hand and said faintly, "You can’t do anything about this house."
Davis immediately went straight to the point, "Ok, you're finally back! Do you know I have been waiting
for you!"
"Isn't it normal to have ups and downs in the business world?" Justin turned his head after he finished
speaking and looked at Davis with a smile, only that smile was too bizarre.
It was still chill in September, but it gave Davis a bit of a chill.
"Justin!" Esther stepped forward and took Justin's arm, pouting, "It's been over a year, you're always
missing. Thank god, you are back, please help us out, dad's hair is so white from anxiety."
"Ok, but I need collateral, otherwise the board won't be able to approve it." Justin agreed readily, broke
Esther's hand away, and then headed for the door.
Davis wondered why he spoke of the board of directors? But on second thought, it made sense, for it
was a big amount of money, "Okay, but now my assets are all tied up in the bank."
"Doesn't Esther have my mother-in-law's shares? That counts." Justin sat on the sofa as he said
that.
