Mateo was a little frightened. Looking at his diamond-bordered platinum phone which was ringing, he really wanted to smash it.
At that moment, the ring was like a spell for Mateo, while the other three had already been terrified. Answer it, or not? That was a question.
“Mr. Mccarthy, you should check what happened so that we can come up with the solution.” Angus’s voice was trembling.
Mateo was the last hope for the crowd now. If he also got into trouble, they would go bankrupt together.
After the bankruptcy, the fortune would be lost, the luxurious life would go away and all their enemies would revenge on them.
Mateo reached slowly for the phone, his fingers trembling, but he still didn’t pick it up. Suddenly, the ringing stopped, only the missed call warning showing on the screen. Mateo felt relieved and was gulping for air on the sofa, as he just escaped from death.
The cold sweat had soaked his shirt, which used to be tidy but was sticking to his body at that moment. He felt very uncomfortable.
“Why didn’t you pick up the phone?” Maximilian’s voice was like a sound from the hell.
Mateo looked at Maximilian angrily. “That was your trick, right? If you think I’m frightened, you are wrong. Since my personal connections are very wide, you cannot let me go bankrupt!”
At that time, only the extreme rage could hide his fear and weakness.
“Your phone is ringing again. Pick it up,” said Maximilian slowly. He sneered at Mateo.
Mateo felt Maximilian was like a demon, so he was more and more scared. All of a sudden, he trembled fiercely. Then taking Maximilian’s words as an order, Mateo took the phone uncontrollably.
His forehead was full of sweat. After picking up the phone, he put it near his ear, his eyes closed.
“Hello.” His weakness, helplessness and terror were all reflected through this only word.
“Mr. Mccarthy, our company is facing a big trouble! All the working capital was frozen; all the factories and warehouses were closed; all the suppliers are pressing for payment; all the clients are asking for refund; all the products were complained for the bad quality; all...”
Countless “all” was ringing in the ear of Mateo. Everything related to his company went wrong. That was a big storm!
How powerful Maximilian was so that he could make all the things happen in ten minutes!
Mateo was in despair. He was not able to solve them, even if he had a hundred times of his connections.
All the things that Maximilian did were enough to ruin twenty companies! However, all the things had just happened in Mateo’s company.
That was Maximilian’s sneer. He used his power to show Mateo the vast difference between people.
Mateo was completely crumbled into dust. He was lying on the sofa powerlessly with his face convulsive.
