Chapter 4: Capital Injection
1577 Words
Brown's family in Mordor City, though not at the top, boasted assets exceeding five billion dollars, with a proud capital.
The head of the Brown family spoke, and even some bosses with good relations with Shining Star Company were unwilling to go against the Brown family and create enemies for themselves.
Moreover, many people evaluated that Shining Star Company now had no chance of turning things around.
Because some time ago, they had transferred a large project to the Brown family with a considerable amount of money. Now, Shining Star's account probably couldn't even come up with two million dollars.
As for bank loans, there was no way to repay them, and they could only use land to offset the debt.
Without anyone stepping in to help, Shining Star was facing a dead end!
"I'll make it clear today. Whoever helps Shining Star is going against my Brown family!" Kurt Brown declared loudly.
"Brown's family head, you're overthinking. Today, we are all here to discuss joining forces against Shining Star. How could we turn against each other?" Milan Stewart quickly spoke, smiling and looking pleasingly at Kurt Brown.
With Milan Stewart speaking up, the others also nodded in agreement.
Kurt Brown was extremely pleased and looked at Hayley Waters with a hint of mockery.
"It's like rats fleeing a sinking ship," Hayley Waters shook her head slightly.
"See that, you despicable woman? This is the consequence of seducing men again! This is what happens when you offend our Brown family!" Ariah Brown sneered, pointing at Hayley Waters and cursing, "If your boss finds out that you and Isidore, this useless trash, cost us twenty million dollars, will he be furious to the point of spitting blood?"
"Ariah Brown, are you done?" Isidore Richmond spoke coldly.
They had lived together for five years!
And now, when this woman mentioned him, she kept calling him useless, completely disregarding their marital relationship!
"Outrageous! Isidore, what kind of thing do you think you are!" Kurt Brown's face turned unpleasant, scolding, "Tomorrow, go get a divorce certificate! A waste dog like you who freeloads off our Brown's family, and dares to speak ill of my daughter!?"
"Since you're getting a divorce, why do you have the right to say such things about him?" Seeing Isidore being scolded, Hayley Waters couldn't help but stand in front of him.
"Hayley Waters, mind your own business! After tomorrow night, even if you strip naked and kneel in front of me begging, I won't show mercy. Don't think having a few admirers gives you the right to be arrogant! In my eyes, those hostesses in foot massage parlors are much better than you!" Kurt Brown laughed heartily.
"You..."
Hayley Waters' eyes turned red, biting her lip tightly.
Isidore Richmond shook his head slightly. In this situation, Kurt Brown was spewing vulgarities in front of many prominent figures!
Seeing Hayley Waters with teary eyes, he felt a stir in his heart, reached into his pocket, took out his phone, pretended to answer a call, and walked out of the crowd.
"What call are you answering, Isidore? Where else do you want to run!" Ariah Brown sneered, preparing to leave as well.
"Stop!"
Kurt Brown shouted, "The face of the Brown family has been completely lost by that useless person!"
"Yes, Dad."
Seeing his father angry, Ariah Brown quickly nodded.
As for Isidore, he had already walked out of the banquet hall and headed towards the hotel's entrance.
Outside the hotel's entrance, he saw an exquisitely packaged box lying in a corner.
Isidore picked it up and examined it carefully, a smile appearing on his face.
He glanced cautiously behind him, seeing that no one in the hotel was paying attention to him, quickly took out a check from his pocket, and stuffed it into the box.
After doing all this, Isidore raised his head, wearing a smile, and walked back into the banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, Kurt Brown was still smirking triumphantly. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Hayley Waters, and they all raised their glasses to congratulate Kurt Brown, while Hayley Waters was left alone.
"Miss. Waters!"
Isidore's voice was loud and caught everyone's attention as soon as he entered.
He quickly came to Hayley Waters and respectfully said, "I just received a call. Someone is willing to invest in our company and help Shining Star through this difficult time! This is what he sent over!"
Isidore handed the packaged box to Hayley Waters.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the box.
"What's this?"
Hayley Waters was momentarily confused, but then she realized. In front of everyone, she opened the box.
Seeing the check inside, Hayley Waters smiled.
"Brown's family head, you've wasted your effort."
With elegance, Hayley Waters walked forward, raised the check in her hand, and said, "The reputation of the Brown family is well-known, but there are still people willing to invest in Shining Star and help us. They don't act like the Brown family, throwing stones at those who are already down."
"What is this?" Kurt Brown frowned.
"Brown's family head, have you gotten too old to recognize a check?" Hayley Waters smiled playfully. "Have you counted the zeros behind the one?"
"One... no, ten, ten billion dollars!?" Kurt Brown's pupils contracted, staring fixedly at the numbers on the check.
Everyone heard it clearly, and they stared wide-eyed, unable to recover for a while.
"You've disappointed the head of the Brown family."
Hayley Waters chuckled lightly, turned around, and said to Isidore, "Let's go."
"Sure, Miss. Waters."
Amid the stunned looks of the onlookers, Isidore Richmond secretly enjoyed the situation, walking behind Hayley Waters as they headed out of the hotel.
Many people, upon seeing the check in Hayley's hand, were envious.
Kurt Brown wore an extremely unpleasant expression.
Who could have imagined that someone would dare defy Brown's family right after he made a statement and actually delivered money to their doorstep!?
This was a slap in the face for Kurt Brown, a slap for the entire Wang family!
"Damn!"
Watching Isidore and Hayley leaving triumphantly, Kurt Brown couldn't hold back anymore. He fiercely smashed his glass on the ground!
Crash!
The glass shattered with a loud noise, startling everyone. They all watched Kurt Brown cautiously as he glared at them.
"How can someone invest in Shining Star!? Who the **** has the guts to do that!?"
Kurt Brown gritted his teeth.
After benefiting from following Shining Star Company for five years, he knew the power of Shining Star very well.
He thought that taking advantage of Shining Star's lack of funds this time would allow him to take a big bite. Instead, he didn't get the chance and ended up in a mess!
With this money, Shining Star would soon turn things around. After a few days of such incidents, they would definitely go all out against Brown's family!
"Dad, could it be fake?"
Ariah Brown suddenly spoke up, "Ten billion dollars, that's Ten billion dollars, it's too unbelievable!"
The entire Wang family's assets didn't add up to 8 billion dollars.
"Get lost!"
Kurt Brown was full of anger, and he turned around, delivering a slap to Ariah's face, angrily scolding, "Use your brain. Could that possibly be fake?"
"I think Miss.Brown makes sense."
Milan Stewart, who had completely sided with Kurt Brown, said in a low voice, "This money came too suddenly. It arrived just when we were about to deal with Shining Star, and it was directly sent to the hotel! It's too absurd!"
"Hmm?"
Kurt Brown frowned, listened to him finish, and said in a deep voice, "Go on!"
"Yes!"
Milan Stewart chuckled, "As everyone knows, your son-in-law... he is just a househusband. How did he end up working for Shining Star?"
Ariah Brown also frowned, nodding, "I've never heard about him working there!"
"That's right!"
Milan Stewart clapped his hands, laughing, "He and Hayley Waters are an adulterous couple! Isidore is quite clever. Just now, he saw his mistress being humiliated, so he forged a check and scared all of us!"
"Are you saying that the check is fake?" Kurt Brown relaxed his brows.
"Whether it's fake or not, we'll know by checking the surveillance."
Milan Stewart pushed his golden-rimmed glasses and said with a sneer, "There's a surveillance camera at the hotel entrance. According to Isidore's words, someone drove up and delivered the check to the hotel entrance! Let's see who he encountered after leaving the hotel!"
"Yes!"
"Makes sense!"
"Mr. Stewart is indeed wise!"
Everyone was convinced, giving Milan Stewart a thumbs up one after another.
Palic Lake was originally Brown's family's industry, so it was easy to access the surveillance.
The crowd surrounded Kurt Brown, staring at the surveillance with focused eyes.
The staff pulled up the surveillance, and soon, everyone saw Isidore quickly walking out of the hotel, standing at the entrance.
However, there was no car across the hotel.
The next moment, Isidore walked towards a corner, picked up a packaging box from the ground, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, stuffed it into the box, and turned back to the hotel.
"See that!"
Milan Stewart loudly exclaimed, "We've all been fooled by them! There was no one helping Shining Star at all!"
Kurt Brown stared directly at the monitor for a long time before sneering, "Tomorrow, I'll have the bank intervene and demand repayment! Daring to play tricks with me, they're truly seeking death!"
