In the private villa, Mr. Atwood said after returning, “It’s all done. I’ve heard the news of Steward Group
mortgaging assets in the banks on my way back.”
Jon laughed while fiddling with the fruit knife in his hand, “You've got the news fast, but no one knew
how real it was.”
“This isn’t a small amount. With the current situation of the Steward Group, it’s not possible to make up
that much even if all the assets are mortgaged.” Freya said.
“Don’t forget, even if Steward Group can’t make up that much, there are Clarence Conrad and
Complex Corporation. Complex now has a market value of tens of billions of dollars abroad and this
amount of money isn’t a huge trouble for them.” Jon said.
“Will Clarence and Stella pay such a heavy price for Daniel?”
The entire Steward Group and Complex Corporation would be completely over once the money was
given.
“Of course it’s not enough.” Caesar on the side said slowly while wiping the frame of his glasses.
The Steward Group was throwing a smokescreen by mortgaging its assets, which was to figure out
what they were going to do next.
He also never thought that he could get this money only by using Daniel.
“Then what do we do next?” Mr. Atwood asked.
“Of course we have to have more bargaining chips.” Caesar put on his glasses, crossed his long legs
and said relaxedly.
At this moment, Lyndon came down the stairs and obviously heard their conversation just now.
“I don’t care what you want to do, I just have to get the money. The rest has nothing to do with me.” He
said coldly.
“I understand Chairman Lyndon’s eagerness to leave here, but Clarence and Charles will still not let
you go even if you leave. Besides, don’t you want to save your daughter?” Caesar said.
“I can’t even save myself. You are worried too much.” Lyndon sneered.
A burst of handclapping. Jon next to him applauded, “Chairman Lyndon is really cold blooded. In
addition to planning the plane crash and causing the death of your parents, you’ve also framed your
brothers and the whole family. Now you don’t even care about the life and death of your own daughter.
How care-free your life is!”
“Chairman Lyndon, there’s no way back now since we’ve been forced to stay on the same boat. Why
don’t you calm down first and we'll proceed according to the plan?” Caesar laughed and looked at
Lyndon.
Lyndon glanced at the people in front of him with mockery.
How did he end up being threatened by these people?
“I believe Chairman Lyndon has now realized the consequences of not eliminating the roots thoroughly.
Do you want the same thing to happen again?” Caesar continued.
“Do you have any plans?” Lyndon was sitting across from them with a foul look on his face.
...
Stella stayed at the Steward Group for the entire afternoon.
There were all kinds of opinions on the media after the news of Steward Group mortgaging its assets
was released.
Some people said that Steward Group had a huge debt crisis and might go bankrupt, others said that
Steward Group could no longer support itself without Conrad Group as a backer, and it’s already
looking for another way out.
All kinds of conspiracy theories make people panic.
As the evening approached, the sky darkened and a light rain began to fall.
“Ms. Radomil, Mr. Conrad. I have talked to the banks. They also gave an estimate of the total mortgage
amount of the Steward Group, which is 1.3 billion in total.” Samuel walked in and said.
The Steward Group which had been pulled back from bankruptcy by Stella, was now far down from its
peak.
Moreover, several key projects had only been underway for a short time, of which the specific market
values weren't released yet.
But in terms of this amount, it was far from Lyndon’s requirement of 50 billion dollars.
But according to Lyndon’s purpose, he didn't care how much Steward Group was worth, all he wanted
was the 50 billion dollars.
“We don’t have enough money...” Stella looked at Clarence.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted William.” Clarence said.
“What did he say?” Stella was stunned.
“He’ll find a way to raise money.”
Complex Corporation is more valuable than the current Steward Group, they should be able to put up
enough if they pledged their assets too.
“But I've been suspecting that things aren’t that simple.” Stella frowned.
“They wouldn’t believe that we would give them the money so easily, just Daniel alone is not really
worth 50 billion dollars.” Clarence put his arm on the sofa casually and said.
“So...”
...
“Let’s wait and see.”
At the same time, in the studio.
Elaine returned to work and was motivated to work harder.
There were fewer and fewer customers at night due to the rain.
“It’s raining heavily outside, so let’s get off work early.” Sherry said.
“Thank you, Sherry!” Several girls cheered.
Elaine suddenly saw someone walking in the door when she was about to change her clothes.
“Uncle Caesar!” She happily shouted.
Caesar asked the assistant to wait behind with an umbrella, walked up to Elaine and smiled, “Are you
off work?”
“Yes, I’m just going to get changed.”
“Then I’ll take you to dinner. It could be considered as a comfort for you.”
Elaine felt ashamed to join this dinner. She muttered, “Forget it, I...”
“Elaine, Darnell is always cold and strict. You don’t need to take what he says to the heart. What’s
more, this isn’t just to comfort you. I’ll leave City N tomorrow, so this is also a farewell to you.” Caesar
said.
Elaine was stunned when she heard this, but there was no reason to refuse now.
“Sherry, you can come with us too.” She turned her head and said.
“Don’t mind me, you go.” Sherry smiled.
She stopped Elaine from letting her go with Caesar before, because she thought Caesar had malicious
intentions, but now he seemed to be fine.
So there’s no need for her to keep up with them.
Caesar nodded slightly at Sherry, “Ms. Perry, I’m sorry for what happened before, it’s me who didn’t
protect you and Elaine well.”
“It’s okay. Truly. Don't mention it.” And she turned to Elaine, “Elaine, go and change your clothes, don’t
let you Uncle Caesar wait for a long time.”
“Okay!” Elaine nodded.
Elaine quickly changed her clothes.
They walked out of the studio. After she watched Caesar and Elaine leave, she was going to call a cab
when the phone in her bag suddenly vibrated.
She thought it was a spam message, so she took a look at it, but found that the person who sent the
message was actually Daniel.
Her eyes widened when she saw it.
She carefully looked at the text on the phone and took a deep breath, quickly ran to the roadside and
stopped a taxi, and said anxiously, “Go to this place!”
