I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310

The employees were asking for their pay and the product users were suing and seeking compensation
This was the terrifying power of a first-rate family in Capital City.
The chairman’s office, Beautylish Group headquarters.
Despite it being the evening, Mindy and her husband had yet to leave.
After a whole day of hard work, not only had they not managed to make a single dollar from selling their shares, but they were now in a huge amount of debt as well.
Both of them felt despondent about the future.
Their initial desire to lighten Celia’s future financial burden was no longer possible.
Not only that, but they were under more financial pressure now.
The damages owed to the various clients, compensation for product users, and wages due to the employees all far exceeded Beautylish Group’s existing funds.
Not even by filing for bankruptcy or selling the office building could they repay everyone.
By the end of this all, the 46% of shares in Mindy’s hands would become a huge financial burden.
“What do we do, Jon?” Mindy asked, feeling wronged.
She was still the chairman of a company worth billions of dollars, and now she had become a poor woman with a huge amount of debt.
This was a harsh blow to someone like Mindy who valued how people thought about her.
Her only hope now was that her husband had a good plan.
She was fine with not having any money, but she did not want to be in such huge debt. She could not imagine the life she would have to live owing other people so much money.
Jon did not know how to reply to his wife either as he did not have a way out of this.
The Chasez family had a deep influence in both the judical and business industries, they were not a figure the Youngs could fight against.
The old senior officer had called him today as well and told him to be prepared as the Chasez family seemed aggressive and would not back down so easily.
“Calm down first! The Chasez family will look for us since they bought 54% of Beautylish Group’s shares. They have no need to buy these shares if their goal is to end us. Let’s just wait and see what they have to say first,” Jon consoled.
Just as the two were lost for what to do, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Entering the room was a young man in his twenties, Elmer, the Chasez family’s butler, and the general manager of the Beautylish Group.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Young! I’m Hanley,” The young man introduced himself.
“You’re Hanley? You’re the one behind all this? We’ve done nothing to you, why are you doing this to us?” Mindy got up and questioned agitatedly.
“Calm down first, Mrs. Young. I came here today to make my stance clear. As to what happens next, that will depend on your decision,” Hanley said.
“Go ahead, then,” Jon said grimly.
Hanley slowly began, “Celia and I became schoolmates three years ago. I’ve always liked her and I’ve never thought to stop pursuing her, not even when she rejected me time and time again. I’ve never used the Chasez family’s name to force her because I truly believed that she would be moved by my genuine feelings.
“But I was wrong. Not too long ago, pictures of Celia and another man started to spread on Greenwood University’s forum. That man is David Lidell, the exchange student from another university. I’m sure you’ve met him before as well, Mr. and Mrs. Young. I refused to believe anything at first, but I had no other choice but to trust the rumors when I saw Celia drive to school and fetch David yesterday.
“I cannot accept the fact that the girl I’ve been in love with for the past three years now belongs to another man. That’s why I planned all of this using the Chasez family name, and I hope that you can understand where I’m coming from, Mr. and Mrs. Young! There are two options for you.
“Option one, you make Celia leave David for me. Not only can I revive the Beautylish Group, but I can also give you the 54% of the shares I have back to you for free. With this, the Beautylish Group’s market share will double very quickly, and Mr. Young will be able to achieve greater heights in his career.
“Option two, you continue supporting the two of them. If that’s the case, then I’m afraid not only will you lose everything you have, but you’ll also be in too much debt and your career will be over. I’m certain you’ll make the correct decision, right, Mr. and Mrs. Young?”
