Chapter 1361
Just then, the security guard rushed over and reported, "Mr. Jones, here comes another group of people claiming their money back. They are making a fuss in the conference room..."
Sofia was annoyed and she yelled, "Who let them come into the conference room? Kick them away!"
The security guard gave an embarrassed look, "You instructed me earlier to let them wait in the conference room and you said our company had enough money and that you would have the finance department prepare the money forthem."
Sofia was embarrassed, but she couldn't refute the security guard. She did say the company had money. And now she was furious. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
The debtors were getting louder and louder in the conference room. They kept bellowing.
"Where's your boss?"
"Don’t you have plenty of money? When are you going to pay me back my 10 million dollars? I heard that some of the creditors were taken to the police station because you charged them with rioting! You owe us money and you should pay us back. If you do that, who will dare to do business with you?"
"Exactly! If you don't pay me today, I won't leave..."
"We've waited so long. Where is your boss? When is he coming? Do you have any manners? Can't the Mason Group afford to provide us with a glass of water?"
The debtors shouted. The conference room was noisy. All the staff on the same floor could hearthem.
They sounded like a bunch of gangsters.
They had tattoos on their arms and chests. Some of the men even wore prominent earrings and nose rings. The employee who received them was terrified.
"What are you guys arguing about?" Suddenly, a man's fierce voice rang out.
The debtors looked in the direction of the voice, and they saw Trevor. Immediately, they perked up as if they saw gold. They demanded with sneers, "You're the new boss, aren't you? When are you going to pay us back the money Cedrick owes us?"
"Since you have money, pay me back. It’s only thirty million dollars..."
"Simon, how can you act like that? They should pay us back first. The Mason Group owes us 1.3 billion dollars. Since your amount is small, you should wait!"
Trevor's eyebrows twitched slightly.
'1.3 billion dollars? What the hell! What cost that much?'
He tried to keep himself calm as Sofia had asked Ralph to come back as soon as possible.
'How could the Mason Group have such a large debt under Ralph's supervision? Hadn't he heard anything about it before?'
At that moment, both Trevor and Sofia wished that this was a misunderstanding and that Ralph could settle it.
Otherwise...
They could not afford to pay such a huge debt. And the Netherlands consortium would not let them off the hook for the 1.5 billion dollars they had embezzled.
On the way to the Mason Group this morning, Sofia received a call from the consortium.
They accused her of embezzling the money without permission. Luckily, Sofia found an excuse to cover it up...
If they couldn't pay the debts, they were finished. Trevor felt a chill run down his spine at the thought. Immediately, he forced a smile at the debtors.
"The Mason Group has been in business for hundreds of years. We are the largest business in Sapphire City. We have countless assets. How can we not afford to pay your debt? We've had some trouble in overseas markets, so we currently fund all our money overseas. We will arrange to pay off your debts once we get through this."
Trevor then took several debtors who owed more than 1 billion dollars aside and tried to calm them down.
However, the debtors insisted on getting their money back today...
