Making 25
In the chairman’s office of Realm Group. +5 “Dad, I’m sorry, I failed…” Marco bowed deeply and said bitterly as he stood in front of Roger’s desk. Roger’s expression changed. He looked at Marco, and didn’t react after quite a while. Finally, he managed to calm himself down and said, “Marco, losing tens of millions of dollars is not a big deal…” However, Marco who was bowing did not raise his head, nor did he answer. It gave Roger a bad feeling. Roger couldn’t help wondering, “Could it be that he has lost more than a few ten million dollars?” “Did you lose 200 million dollars?” Roger continued asking. However, Marco still didn’t raise his head or say anything. Roger asked again, “400 million dollars?” “I bought in at the price of 3.2 dollars for each stock. Now it has dropped to 0.8 dollars for each stock, and the stock price is still dropping…” Finally, Marco spoke. Roger felt as if his heart had been blocked by something. He opened his mouth and said, “Just tell me, how much… did you lose?” Marco gritted his teeth and said, “According to the account, we have already lost 800 million dollars. No one took over the shares we sold out so the stock price is still falling…” “That is to say, the 1.1 billion dollars were all trapped, and we’ll end up losing everything, right?” Roger was on the verge of shouting. He screamed inside, “It is 1.1 billion dollars! And it is the company’s reserve capital. How could this large amount of money be trapped and lost just like that!” Roger felt like his heart was bleeding. “Dad, I’m sorry…” Marco said apologetically. Roger furrowed his brows as he looked at his only son, suppressing the anger in his heart. Then he
waved his hand and said, “You may leave now!” 1/5 1342 Thu, Aug 15 ( Marco responded and turned to leave the office stiffly. After Marco left, Roger felt a minor discomfort in his heart. D He quickly took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer, picked a few pills, and took them with warm water. Only then did the discomfort in his heart disappear. Then, he picked up the phone on the table and began to call several executives of the company. Now the company had no reserve funds. Although it would not immediately cause a crisis for the company, once there occurred a problem with the company’s capital, there would be no reserve funds to remedy it. Therefore, Roger called the company’s executives to strengthen the company’s operation and capital safety. He had to make sure that nothing would go wrong. Otherwise, the future of Realm Group would be unimaginable. Roger emphasized all the problems they needed to be on guard against to the executives, and only then did he relieve. As the head of Realm Group, which was a giant enterprise, Roger knew that he couldn’t get anxious only when the crisis appeared. He had to get the enterprise fully prepared in case of an emergency at any time. He looked at the sky through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the office and thought to himself, “I hope the company can get through this difficulty peacefully.” “Ring, ring…” At that moment, Roger’s phone which was on the desk rang. Roger picked up his phone and found that it was from David. He unconsciously remembered that today was the last day of the bet between David and Gilmore. Roger wondered, “Could it be that the result of the bet has come out?”
He picked up the phone and said, “David, is there anything important you need to tell me through the phone?” David’s laughter came from the phone. “Haha, Gilmore just called me and said that he would come to my house in an hour. He also said that in order to make Marco give up on Christine, he wanted your family to bear witness.” Roger laughed, “Okay! We’d love to see how this mysterious person is going to win the 2/5 bet.” “Then, bro, I’ll see you soon.” “See you later.” After hanging up the phone, Roger’s eyes darkened. He thought, “Gilmore is really arrogant! He wants my son to give up on Christine? I’d like to see how he can manage to make 200 million dollars from 20 million dollars in two days.” Roger called Rosaline and Marco and told them that they were going to the Fosters’ manor. A few minutes later, Roger, Rosaline, and Marco, left the headquarters of Realm Group in an extended Rolls-Royce, protected by two bodyguards. In the Fosters’ villa. Moment after moment passed. Roger and his family had been in the Fosters villa for nearly an hour, and the maids had refilled coffee for them several times. However, Gilmore, who had said that he would arrive in an hour, had yet to appear. Even David and Jessica felt very strange about that. Finally, Roger opened his mouth and said, “It looks like we don’t have to wait anymore. Gilmore won’t come.” David and Jessica looked at each other. They also thought that Gilmore would not come.
It had been an hour. If Gilmore had intended to come, he would have arrived already. However, Gilmore didn’t show up. It was clear to them that Gilmore hadn’t completed the bet. He didn’t turn 20 million dollars into 200 million dollars in two days. “Roger, I’m really sorry that I asked you to come. I didn’t expect that we would be teased” David felt sorry and said to Roger. Roger laughed. “Hahaha, that just proves that Gilmore is not only arrogant but also not trustworthy at all. How could such a person be worthy of Christine?” 133 Thái, Aug 1 David nodded in agreement. At first, when he saw Gilmore that night, he felt that Gilmore was a little different other young people. However, it seemed that Gilmore was a disappointment. “The fact that he does not dare to show himself shows that he still knows his limits Otherwise, when he is unable to take out 200 million dollars, it will only bring hin endless humiliation.” Rosaline sneered and ridiculed. Then she picked up her handbag and said to Roger and Marco, “Let’s go home! It s that Gilmore is a coward. He won’t come back here.” Sitting on the sofa, Marco’s mood was extremely downcast because he had suffered huge loss in the stock market today. However, the fact that Gilmore did not have the courage to show up in the end was equal to taking the initiative to quit pursuing Christine. This put Marco in a much better mood. Marco and Roger got up from the sofa and were about to leave. However, at this moment, a lazy voice came. “I’m just a little late. Who called me a coward?” David, Jessica, Roger, Rosaline, and Marco looked toward the source of the voice and saw a figure walking into the mansion. The person who had walked in was Gilmore.
David, Roger, and the others were all surprised. They were all shocked by the fact that Gilmore had come. David looked displeased and said to Gilmore, “Why are you so late? We’ve been waitin for you for a long time.” “Sorry to have kept you waiting, David. There was a traffic jam on the way here so I come late,” said Gilmore. The displeasure on David’s face eased as he said, “Now that you are here, can you tell us whether you’ve completed the bet or not?” “Fortunately, I did not fail to live up to your expectations. I have completed the bet.” A 415 15.45 IT, AUG 19 27 smile appeared on Gilmore’s face as he spoke in a nonchalant manner. Roger and Rosaline’s expressions unconsciously changed. Although Marco looked indifferent on the surface, he was actually shocked too. He couldn’t help wondering. “Did he really make it? Did he earn 200 million dollars with 20 million dollars in two days David and Jessica were also stunned. After coming to his senses, David asked, “Where are the 200 million dollars?” Gilmore then took out a bank card from his pocket, put it on the table in front of David, and said, ‘Here’s the money!Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
