Leslie snorted, "You stubborn old man, you finally have a little conscience this time! Our friendship has been worthwhile after all!"
Samuel glanced at Leslie, "I just happened to meet you at the door. I didn't really come with you. You had joined an organization behind my back. I won't forgive you! We're not close!"
Leslie stroked his beard and said, "Who cares!"
After their usual banter, Leslie looked back at Raymond who was behind him.
"I asked you to take out all the extra funds in the organization to buy Tyly Company. Did you buy them?"
"Yes, Sir!" Raymond said.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the graph again. The originally soaring data finally began to fall.
Tina was overjoyed, "Eudora, it's coming down! It's coming down!"
Eudora's eyes were fixed on the data, and her heart was beating wildly. Even Mark, who was standing aside, was a little flustered.
His assistant muttered, "Mr. Shelby, what should we do? We took the money from Country M and had promised to help them make money! If something goes wrong, we..."
Mark's expression was dark. His assistant was right.
This time, not only did he bet with all his money but he also accepted a lot of money from unknown sources. He had promised to help others to make money, and they gave him power and commission fees in return.
Clenching his fist, Mark wiped his sweat.
"Stay calm and don't panic. I don't believe that with that few people, they can bring down the stock market."
As expected, the number that had been falling gradually, began to stabilize and rise slowly again.
Mark let out a sigh of relief, "F*ck!"
As he looked at Eudora, the joy on Eudora's face had disappeared again.
In the end, they were still lacking in funds.
Eudora dejectedly lowered her head and closed her eyes. At that moment, Charlie squeezed through the crowd and approached Eudora.
"Madam, we've searched everywhere, but we haven't found any traces of President Granger..."
As their last hope was in vain, Eudora choked out a sentence.
"Got it!"
Since she could not save Amos, she decided to follow him. She had already prepared herself for it.
She turned around and walked towards Mark slowly.
"What on earth should I do for you to let him go?"
Mark was stunned and then said with a fake smile, "What? Isn't Miss George very powerful? You're the heir, the powerful woman who's in charge of Valiant East who had even slapped me a few days ago! What's wrong? Are you begging me now?"
Eudora knew that Mark was not actually holding a grudge against her over the slap. It was just that he still had not found an opportunity to take his revenge.
Eudora clenched her fists and said, "I'll let you hit me back, as long as you let go of Amos!"
"Hit you back?" Mark raised his hand and touched his chin. "I am a man. Men don't beat women up, especially when they're faced with a beauty like Mrs. Granger! How inappropriate it would be to hit you!"
Eudora frowned, "What exactly do you want?" Mark laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I don't harbor any intentions towards you, but my subordinates might! I'm always a person who adores my subordinates very much. Only when my subordinates are in a good mood can they help me with my work. Once things are completed, I will be in a good mood and I might even let go of any grievances!"
Eudora's heart sank, "Mark Shelby, you're shameless!"
Mark immediately smiled wantonly, "I thought that you would do anything for President Granger, Miss George. You'll just be accompanying my friends. Since you are unwilling to do so, then forget about it!"
Hearing this, Wesley and Charlie gathered around and stared at Mark fiercely.
Mark said with disdain, "From the looks of it, you guys don't even want to save President Granger's life!"
She said gratefully with red- rimmed eyes, "Thank you."
Mr. Mabbitt shook his head and said, "It's still too early to thank us now. We've done what we can. Well see what will happen next."
Mark angrily looked at Mr. Mabbitt and said, "It seems that you old men don't want to live here in peace anymore? How dare you meddle in the Shelby family's business?"
Mr. Mabbitt said with a calm face, "You're Mr. Shelby, right? We old folks have been through everything. One piece of advice for you, as your senior. Don't be too ruthless!"
Mark still wanted to say something, but the phone rang at that moment.
Joe hurriedly passed it to him, "It's a phone call from Country M."
Mark hurriedly walked away after taking over the phone, "Don't worry, Mr. Peter. It's not a big problem. There won't be any problem with the funds that I've promised you!"
After hanging up on the phone, Mark clenched his fists.
Joe hurriedly ran in from outside, "Mr. Shelby, bad news!"
Mark was upset, "Why are you panicking? We only lost a low percentage of them. We have a lot of capital in our hands, don't we? Ask them to let all of them go. Let's not leave any chance for the Valiant East Group."
"No..." Joe was extremely anxious. "It's...the Astavan virus. It has broken out all over the world! All the stocks in the world are dropping drastically!"
Mark's legs went limp. "What? How is that possible?"
"It's true!" Joe stammered. "What should we do now?"
Mark gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up. Hurry up and sell all the shares that we've bought."
"It's too late!" Joe burst into tears, "We're already bankrupt!"
Mark suddenly raised his head and looked at the green chart in front of him. His assistant's voice was still echoing in his ears.
"\Ne had written many blank checks out to other people just to make a lot of money. Now, it's all over for us! We've lost a few billion dollars. Mr. Shelby, we are doomed!"
