Chapter 94 Making Things Worse
Mary Chad’s words seemed to have become a silent song. After a long time, there was no sound from The Ford family.
Although Rebecca Ford, Caroline Ford, Patricia Ford and the others looked scared, there was more confusion in their eyes. They had just returned to their parents’ home and nothing had happened.
Shard Ford’s body trembled, and his face was pale. His pupils kept shrinking, and he looked dull.
When he came to his senses, Shard Ford immediately rushed to the woman and held her hand. “Madam, did you make a mistake? The Ford family has always been doing business according to our duty. Why would we do such a thing as washing money?”
“That’s right. Your bank must have made a mistake. Shard Ford has just returned from overseas and I’m a serious businessman. Why would I go to work? Don’t slander me.”
Although Rebecca Ford did not understand what had happened, she knew that her nephew must have been targeted, so she immediately supported Shard Ford.
“I’m slandering?”
Hearing that, Mary Chad sneered and looked at them with pity.
She found it ridiculous. This group of people was dying, and they didn’t know how they died.
She slapped the document heavily and said, “It’s clearly written in white and black. How dare you deny it?”
Shard Ford did not give up and grabbed the account book. His gaze quickly swept across the bank’s funds.
One by one, a shocking and abnormal movement of funds quickly appeared in front of him, making his hands tremble. In the end, he couldn’t even hold the accounting book and fell to the ground.
Rebecca Ford picked it up. After just one look, her blood pressure suddenly rose. She gasped, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
“Mom! Mom, what’s wrong?”
Seeing this scene, Caroline Ford was as anxious as on a hot pot. She helped Rebecca Ford up and shook her shoulders desperately.
After a long time, Rebecca Ford finally waked up. But when she looked at the document, her fingers suddenly trembled. She pointed at it and screamed, “Take it away!”
Caroline Ford had a puzzled expression on her face. Just what could have frightened her mother and Shard Ford to such a state?
However, she picked it up and glanced at it. Her face also turned pale and she threw the document back to Mary Chad as a conditioned reflex.
Mary Chad grabbed it and said in a cold voice, “The evidence is here. Do you still want to deny it?”
There was dead silence in the villa, and everyone’s face was pale.
Shard Ford’s heart felt as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. He couldn’t even jump. For a few seconds, he felt suffocated to death.
Now, every successful businessman had some shady secrets behind him, and it was even more common for him to hook up with others. Why did The Ford family fall into this trap?
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead like beans. How could he be found out when he had cleaned up all the illegal transfer?
He even alerted the president…
At this time, there was a flash of lightning in his mind. Was there someone behind the scenes who wanted to make trouble for The Ford family?
However, The Ford family had never made any enemies over the years. Who was it that wanted to make trouble for The Ford family?
“Could it be that he…”
Suddenly, Shard Ford seemed to think of something. He grabbed Caroline Ford’s shoulder with both hands and asked in a hurry, “Does your father know any big shot in Emerdale?”
Caroline Ford’s shoulder hurt from Shard Ford’s grasp, but she knew what he meant. “Shard Ford, you suspect that it’s my father…”
Shard Ford was about to speak but Caroline Ford waved her hand and said, “It can’t be my father. I know him. Even if we take revenge on him, he can’t turn against us. We are his wife and daughter.”
“And although my father has gained a firm foothold in Emerdale these years, he hasn’t made any progress. How could he know a big shot that has great power?”
Hearing this, Shard Ford’s eyes flickered as he muttered to himself, “If it wasn’t Uncle-in-law. Who was it?”
While Shard was silent, Mary Chad had already read out the last sentence of the document. “In consideration of The Ford family’s financial situation, it has seriously broken the contract. You need to compensate me with one billion.”
Bang…
Hearing this number, Rebecca Ford, Caroline Ford, and the others’ pupils shrank. They felt that they couldn’t breathe anymore.
Shard Ford felt a little better, but at the same time, he felt a great deal of pressure, like a fish on the shore, struggling to survive.
“Wait a moment, President Chad.”
Shard Ford took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then he gritted his teeth and said to Mary Chad, “We can compensate you, but I ask you to investigate this matter thoroughly. There must be a sinister person who framed The Ford family behind our back!”
“Sure.”
Mary Chad forced a smile and looked at Shard Ford with pity.
A malicious person?
“He was framed behind the scenes?”
It seemed that they still did not know what kind of big shot they had offended.
“I advise you to return it as soon as possible. I will be fair and sound.” Mary Chad sneered.
Shard Ford gritted his teeth and his face darkened. He took out his phone shakily and was ready to make a call.
What Mary Chad said before was clear. The deposit of The Ford family in the bank had been cleared. Now, only the capital chain of the company under the counter could solve this crisis.
Fortunately, in the past two years, the cooperation between The Ford family and The Brown family had entered a sweet period, and they had barely been promoted from a second-rate family to a first-rate family…
The Ford family could afford one billion.
Just as he was about to call his secretary, his other phone rang.
It was his private phone call.
And judging from the caller ID, it turned out to be his secretary.
Generally speaking, his secretary would only call him privately if something urgent happened.
Dense cold sweat dripped down Shard Ford’s forehead. At this moment, he didn’t dare to pick up his private phone!
“Your phone is ringing.” Mary Chad reminded him lightly.
Rumble…
Shard Ford swallowed hard and pressed the answer button.
“Chairman, something big has happened!”
As soon as the phone was connected, the secretary screamed in horror, “Our company is closed down!”
“What?!”
Shard Ford’s pupils contracted. “What about the company’s money?”
“I’m… I’m done…”
Buzz…
As the secretary finished speaking, Shard Ford felt dizzy. His eyes went black and he fell on the sofa.
“What about other companies?” He didn’t give up and asked again.
“It’s, it’s also sealed up.”
The secretary’s voice was also full of horror. “Chairman, what happened? Why all the companies under the control of The Ford family were sealed up overnight?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Shard Ford couldn’t hear the rest of the sentence clearly. His face turned as pale as paper, and cold sweat drenched his clothes, making him look like he had just been rescued from the river.
His hand tightly covered his heart. At this moment, he felt that his heart suddenly stopped.
Overnight, all the companies under the control of The Ford family had been sealed up. What kind of person could have such a powerful power? !
