Chapter 667
“Mr. Ricardo, we’ve run into a bit of a situation here in Duskhaven, and I was about to ask you for some funding.”
“What did you say?”
On the other end of the phone, Booker spoke calmly. “Because you withdrew ten billion in funds a few days ago, some of the projects here in Duskhaven have started to halt. All the major shareholders and our business partners are pressing me for payments. Ive been delaying as much as I can, but now, without the ten billion, the company might just face paralysis. If this situation lasts more than three days, you should know what the consequences will be, Mr. Ricardo.”
Hearing this, Ricardo felt a surge of anger, “Why are you only telling me such an important matter now!”
“Mr. Ricardo, I did mention it before, but you said it wasn’t urgent…
“Enough!” Ricardo snapped. “I don’t care how you do it. Borrow or take out loans, whatever it takes. The projects in Duskhaven cannot stop, and I need the funds for Devonport transferred to me immediately!”
Listening to Ricardo’s demands, Booker sneered internally.
What kind of person or institution could lend out tens of billions at a moment’s notice? How could any bank agree to lend such a huge amount of money?
Ricardo was desperate.
But soon, Booker thought of another plan for revenge. “Alright, Mr. Ricardo, I figure something out.”
“I need to know the solution before midnight tonight!”
Booker glanced at the clock. There was only an hour left until midnight.
Such a demanding request.
“Okay, III do my best”
After saying this, Booker hung up the phone.
Shortly after, Booker called Sophie.
Sophie was at Colby’s house, just coming out of the bathroom drying her hair, when she answered the phone. Booker’s voice came through, “Ms. Sophie.”
Sophie held the phone between her shoulder and ear, asking, “Did Ricardo call you?”
“Mr. Ricardo wants me to take out loans to solve the financial crisis.
“Loans?” Sophie laughed, “Has Ricardo lost his mind?”
They were talking about a loan of over ten billion! What bank could possibly lend Ricardo over ten billion?
Booker said. Thave an idea”
“Oh? Whats the idea?”
“In any case, Ms. Sophie, you’re definitely going to come up with the ten billion, so why not personally lend it to Mr. Ricardo.
Hearing this, Sophie raised an eyebrow. It was such a great idea, and it was surprising that it came from Booker.
Booker continued, “However, we’ll need to find a suitable guise since you’re lending in a personal capacity.”
“Don’t worry about that. Your idea is good, I think… we can do it this way.”
“Good, I’ll ensure the best interest for you, Ms. Sophie. Then, Booker ended the call.
At that moment, Colby wrapped his arms around Sophie’s waist from behind and asked softly, “Why did you take so long?”
“What? Are you in a hurry?”
Colby kissed Sophie’s neck, his voice deep. “Tve been impatiently waiting.
