After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 583

Chapter 583 Go for the Site

Manuel hurried into Edward's office. Along the way with Edward's secretary, he had learned what was happening.

Outside the largest branch of Phillips Bank in Kensbury, a crowd of depositors held up a banner and protested the bank, accusing it of obtaining illegal benefits out of their deposit but refusing to give them the bonus accordingly. They succeeded to draw the press's attention. And before Manuel went there, news of this had been spreading quickly.

Edward was so furious on hearing that. The incident undoubtedly worsened the Phillip Bank's situation.

If they lost the domestic depositors' trust, they were making a way for Sway's entry to Northfield. Just in the meeting before, Edward had shown his determination to defeat Sway at the very first trial in combat, which could curdle their following expansion in Northfield. However, they were ruining themselves.

Manuel browsed the news on the phone, keeping in the loop about the incident.

If it was in a state of ferment, Phillips bank would be put in a more difficult position.

"Who was in charge of this project before?" Manuel asked.

The best solution must root in the source.

"It's impossible for me to take care of every project. For those unnecessary, I would leave it to the staff if everything goes right." Edward said.

So now they had no idea who took charge of this project, leaving alone the accuracy of the accusation against them.

Manuel seemed much calmer than Edward. He said, "Just take some inquiries. We have to put an end to this stuff as soon as possible, or it must ruin the bank's reputation. If Sway makes use of it, it could give us a fatal blow."

That was why Edward grew so furious and anxious.

He asked his secretary to carry out a quick investigation and soon they found the one in charge was Terrance Wood in the marketing department.

Terrance was soon summoned to the office.

He seemed deeply frightened. And he took out all relative documents right away and checked them term by term.

After checking round after round, they didn't find any problem. The accusation of their illegal benefits was fictitious.

Frowning, Manuel was curious about the motive for this, wondering why a project which had been done two years ago would have taken advantage of at this point.

"What's wrong with them?" Edward questioned with an angry face, "Haven't we fulfilled our contract? How could this have happened?"

"They are used," Manuel concluded.

Edward stared at him.

"Especially at this stage, the worse our reputation grows, the easier Sway moves in."

"But it was made up."

"Even if we get things solved and break through the rumour, the public might stay doubtful of us. The impact of public opinion sometimes is beyond our imagination, which was what our competitor wants."

"That's crazy! An international bank. How can I expect it will use such disgusting tricks?" Edward swore.

"We don't know that they did it," Manuel said meaningfully.

Edward shifted his sight back at Manuel.

Manuel explained, "It's less possible that Sway can know so many details about our operation. A small deposit project, how could they know? And how could they find out our depositors, given our protection measures for the client's privacy? Moreover, how could they find out the bug in our project so shortly and provoke our clients' anger? So the problem must be in our bank. We have a betrayer."
