My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 See You in Court

Beck and Jane slept in separate rooms after a messy fight.

Early the next morning, Beck was sleeping on the big bed in the guest room when his phone suddenly rang with an ear-piercing ringtone.

He fumbled for the phone in a daze and heard a panicked voice as soon as he picked it up. “Sir, the lawyers of the Smith Group came over with a default notice and asked us to pay the default today. We don’t have 200 million! Please come over right now. If we can’t pay them today, they’ll sue us.”

Beck was instantly wide awake. He didn’t expect Alston to come at him early in the morning, and he wasn’t even prepared.

His heart was beating violently, and he almost had a heart attack. “Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”

“Hurry up! I can’t hold them any longer!”

Then, he hung up the phone immediately.

Beck hurriedly got up from the bed and wanted to put on a suit, only to realize that he and Jane were still

fighting, so Jane didn’t ask the servant to prepare his clothes.

Beck was furious, but he could only put on the suit of last night. It was wrinkled after the fighting, but he had no time to deal with it. It took 20 minutes to arrive at the company, so he put on the suit and rushed

downstairs without even washing up.

Jane only saw him rushing past her like a gust of wind. She was stunned for a moment, then thought about

last night, and she suddenly lost her appetite.

Although she hated Beck, she didn’t want the Miller family to go bankrupt. Otherwise, her life would be ruined. She wouldn’t even want to live anymore if all the good stuff in her life disappeared.

Thinking of this, she quickly picked up her phone and called her family, trying to borrow some money.

However, everyone already knew what had happened last night. The Green family and the Smith Group had become enemies of the Miller Group. Now, everyone was avoiding the Miller family.

Jane knew nothing about this. She got on the phone, but her family only said a few words and hung up instantly before she could react.

“Jane, don’t come back to our family or contact us again, for the old time’s sake.”

Jane held the phone blankly and listened to the beeping sound from the other side. It took her a long time to

realize that her family had abandoned her, and she gritted her teeth in sorrow.

“Mom, what’s the matter?” Cherry asked. She rubbed her eyes and went downstairs, vaguely seeing Jane’s dazed expression.

Jane looked up at her blankly with a desperate expression. “Cherry, we’re doomed.”

Cherry froze, and she grasped the wooden railing firmly.

Beck finally made it to the Miller Group within thirty minutes.

Lawyers of the Smith Group sat together. All of them were dressed in suits, each at the top of their career. They looked at Beck with sharp eyes and an imposing manner.

Beck wiped his sweat and looked at the manager of the Miller Group opposite them. The manager almost cried out in despair and shouted instantly when he saw Beck, “Sir, you are here.”

The head of the lawyers coughed lightly and said, “Since you’ve arrived, let’s deal with this matter quickly. Your previous action of terminating the contract privately was a breach of contract. It is clearly stated in the contract you have to pay the default of 180 million within three to four working days, and you have personally agreed to this.”

Beck almost collapsed when he heard the 180 million. He kept wiping his cold sweat and nodded. “Yes.”

The lawyer continued, “Mr. Smith gave you plenty of time to prepare the default for the sake of the relationship between your families. However, you were ungrateful and even dared to jeer at him. As a result, Mr. Smith decided that you should pay us as scheduled. Today is the last day, and I hope you can get the money prepared before 6 pm. Otherwise, we have the right to sue you, and we’ll see you in court.”
