Chapter 126 I Don’t Care Who Your Husband Is
Dominic nervously wiped the sweat off his forehead and tried to steady himself. “Mr. Barker, Southvale won’t see any major growth in the coming decade,
“Recently, there’s also been a significant rush to sell properties in Southvale. Investors are practically offloading it at one–tenth of its original value.
“Even with Jonah investing close to 20 billion into Infinity Tower Commercial District over the past three years, no one would buy it now, not even for 200 million.
The Dunn Group is deeply split over the decision to take control of Infinity Tower. That’s one of the main reasons I find it tough to trust Shirley’s promises.
“If we don’t secure Infinity Tower for re–auction soon, it’s unlikely we’ll recover even a third of our original Joan-
Dominic was interrupted by the annoyed Sebastian on the other end of the line. “Dominic, are you aware of what’s happening?
“Twenty minutes ago, the Dunns ended all business relations with SunEast Bank across every branch and region. They’ve even applied to close their accounts with us.
“In only half an hour, our bank’s operating revenue has already dropped by nearly 10 percent, solely due to losing the Dunn Group as a client!
“Dominic, can you shoulder this responsibility? Calculate the financial blow–compared to the 3.8 billion loan, how severe are the losses now?
“Your choices have left SunEast Bank in a fragile position! The eyes of the entire industry are on us, watching the damage unfold. Can you mitigate the impact?
“If you can’t resolve this tonight, not only will you face possible dismissal, but you may also face legal action! SunEast Bank shares are already sliding in the market!
“If this keeps up and we don’t generate positive news, the bank’s future will crumble in your hands! You incompetent fool!
“Aaron is arriving in Harmonfield shortly. Work with him on re–establishing relations with the Dunns. You must also deal with Robin’s case tonight!”
Meanwhile, three luxury Mercedes–Benz cars swiftly made their way from Harmonfield Airport toward the city center.
Those vehicles were provided by Jett, who had come to pick up Leonardo,
They had been high school classmates in Southeast Aurientia two decades ago, and while they hadn’t seen each other in many years, they’d stayed in regular contact.
Since taking on the role of vice general manager for the Aldridges Aurientia Affairs Department cartier this year, Leonardo had been in closer contact with Jett

After several failed attempts to meet, they were finally seeing each other today in Harmonfield. Leonardo. was thrilled.
“Jett, I hear you’re on track to be promoted to Harmonield’s deputy mayor soon. Things are going well for
you
“It’s you who’s advancing faster. You’re set up well with the Aldridges, one of the world’s top five tycoons.
“Look at you, deputy CEO of the Aurientia Affairs Department. I envy you so much.
“If my career ever takes a downturn, I might end up working for you! Hahaha!”
“No worries! Leonardo laughed, then added, “But everyone has their goals, and my path may not suit you.
“By the way, you always mention your wife is an excellent cook, especially with Draconian dishes. I haven’t had those in ages, and I’m eager to try her specialty tonight.”
Jett shrugged helplessly. “It’s unfortunate, bur tonight, a serious issue came up at SunEast Bank, where my wife works, and she’s tied up with overtime.
“She had wanted to come home early and make her signature dishes for you. Sadly, it’s not happening tonight.
“But let me treat you to Harmonfield’s top roast duck restaurant first. After she’s done with work, we’ll head to a tea house in the northern suburbs to sample some tea. Does that work?”
Leonardo’s expression dimmed slightly at the words.
Jett, you’re letting me down! I came all this way just to experience your wife’s cooking”
“Trust me, Leonardo, it’s not our intention.” Jett tried to explain.
“A difficult customer has come to the bank tonight. A young man claimed he’d brought 3.8 billion in cash and insisted that every employee work late to count it.
“So far, not a single bill has shown up. I suspect it’s a prank.”
Leonardo frowned. “I can’t believe someone would act so recklessly here in Draconia, Let’s go see it. I can’t stand people who don’t follow the rules.”
“It’s time to get off work. How can he force people to work overtime?”
“Come on, Leonardo, let’s eat first,” Jett suggested.
“No, let’s check this out first.” Leonardo was firm
