Chapter 235: Nothing Much, Just Gonna Make You Go To Hell! (21)
Since the matter had escalated, Laurent definitely had to be detained.
On that night, Laurent was arrested and detained. Later on, a commotion broke out and Laurent was unfortunately beaten up by accident.
When Laurent was detained, she heard from the police officers that Baina International had already began suing MK Bank.
Without Marquis York who had already been hospitalized because of a heart attack, and Laurent to tend to MK Bank, the bank was at a complete loss.
Just as she was panicking and eager to return to MK Bank and take over everything, the police officers broke some shocking news to her again. MK Bank had declared bankruptcy and was in debt of 3.7 billion US dollars.
Out of the 3.7 billion US dollars, 2.1 billion was to be compensated to Baina International for their losses that resulted from the breach of contract!
Laurent was flabbergasted and she fell onto the ground abruptly. She refused to believe that MK Bank was over just like that!
When she was overwhelmed with dejection, the police officer opened the metal gate and informed her that the victim had dropped charges and was not going to pursue the matter further. Hence, she could be released earlier.
…
In the office, Luo Anning stood in front of the French window while the secretary led the angsty and furious Hebrew in. He barked, “Young Madam Rong, when are you going to fulfill the second promise that you made to me? Laurent has already been arrested. Are you trying to go back on your word?”
Luo Anning turned around and gestured for her secretary to make some tea. She then stared at Hebrew who was dissatisfied, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfill my promise. Laurent has already been released this morning. Before the second promise is fulfilled, I still need you to do something.”
Hebrew was infuriated. He slammed his hand against the coffee table and sprung up. “You need me to do one more thing? Are you finished yet? You haven’t even fulfilled the second promise and you’re asking me to do another thing for you? Luo Anning, did you really belittle me!?!”
“Mr. Hebrew, simmer down. It’s not too late to make a decision after hearing what I have to say.”
Hebrew returned to the couch and yelled in annoyance, “Speak!”
“I want you to ask Laurent out… ”
Hebrew gazed at her in apprehension, unsure of her purpose for doing so. Noticing that he seemed to be hesitant, she chuckled and said, “This is the best way to ruin her reputation. You just have to do what I tell you to. I’ve already made a reservation at the restaurant. By then, you just have to do what you want. I’ll take care of the rest.”
…
As soon as Laurent left the police station, she headed straight to the hospital to see her father. MK Bank’s bankruptcy was undoubtedly a destructive blow to her father. Besides, he had yet to recover from his heart attack and she was afraid that her father would be further agitated.
When she arrived in the hospital, she realized that everything was just like she had expected. When Marquis York heard that they had a debt of 3.7 billion US dollars, he fainted immediately and was sent for emergency surgery.
Madam York cried her heart out and wailed in agony outside the emergency operating room. Their bank had gone bankrupt and everything was going to be taken away from them. She was so angry that her blood pressure plummeted.
Seeing how miserable her mother was, Laurent’s heart wrenched up and she said, “Mother, don’t worry, Father will be alright. I’ll think of a way to handle the things at MK Bank. Don’t think too much. I’m here to settle everything.”
While crying Madam York said, “Laurent, it’s been hard on you, my child. If MK is gone like that, what is going to happen to you from now on… ”
While comforting her mother, Laurent stared at the red lights of the emergency operating room and her heart sank. It was all Luo Anning’s fault!
