Chapter 547
“Mr. Bennett, there are a dozen people downstairs.
“They are all representatives of our suppliers. They’re asking for payment.”
The female secretary reported in a panic as she spoke.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Shane sneered when he heard that.
It seemed Sean had started!
However, the same tactic again?
He did the same thing last time. How could a cunning old fox like Shane not be prepared for this?
“We haven’t reached their payment deadline. What’s the hurry?
“I had someone tamper with the payment terms when we signed the contract.
“The payment won’t be due until at least a month later.
“So there’s nothing to worry about.”
Shane sneered and leaned back in his office chair as he waved his hand nonchalantly.
“Mr. Bennett, but the payment date on the contract is due…”
The secretary shook her head slightly and said as she looked at Shane.
“What?”
Shane froze instantly.
“That’s impossible! I instructed Mr. Winston, who is in charge of signing the contract.
“Did he fail at his job?”
Shane’s eyes widened with a sense of foreboding.
“Mr. Bennett, Mr. Winston didn’t do what you instructed…
“I think his resignation the other day has something to do with this.”
The female secretary sighed and presented Shane with a contract.
Shane picked it up and looked before he flung it to the ground hard.
“Sean!
“Sean must have bribed Mr. Winston. He sold me out!
“Sean has already planted someone beside me!”
Shane’s eyes widened. He thought what happened last time was over.
Now, he learned that Sean had planted a time bomb for him!
No wonder Sean did not do anything last night. He was only waiting for today!
“Mr. Bennett, they’re all waiting for payment. What shall we do?”
The female secretary sighed gently before asking somewhat nervously.
“Hmph! Don’t panic! I’ve prepared something else.”
Shane pondered for two seconds and was about to speak after snorting coldly.
Just then, the landline on the desk rang.
“Hello? Who is this?”
Shane hesitated a little before answering it.
“Could the Bennett family withstand this?”
There was a calm voice on the other end of the line.
The calmness was mixed with a hint of playfulness.
Shane immediately recognized it as Sean’s voice.
“Sean Lennon! You want me to beg, don’t you?
“I’m telling you, your old ways won’t work on the Bennett family!”
Shane gritted his teeth slightly spoke fiercely.
“It doesn’t matter.
