Supreme Mars

Chapter 50 Asking for Forgiveness

The Ford family's nightmare was still ongoing. The debt of 35 million dollars weighed down on

everyone, making it difficult to breathe.

William, Caroline, Rebecca, Samuel, and Maria tried every means they had to find the money, but were

rejected by everyone they approached.

The company's money was deposited in the bank. When they wanted to withdraw it, the bank would

not approve the transaction. The bank suspected that the account of the Ford family subsidiary

company was suspicious, and needed to be strictly evaluated before they would allow any withdrawals.

This was a complicated process that couldn't be completed within a week.

Other companies also refused to help. It was as if the Ford family was persona non grata.

In the end, when they tried to apply for a loan, the bank rejected them with the reason that they did not

have enough credibility.

They seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world. No one helped them, and they were

ostracized be any that they approached. The week's deadline was almost up, and there was still a long

way to go before they could raise 35 million dollars.

In addition, Frank Perry's men came to teach the Ford family a lesson at random times. Although they

didn't kill anyone, they instilled terror in them all every time they showed up.

They either sent people to scare the Fords, or threw rocks at the house in the middle of the night. They

wrote words with blood on the walls of their home. After a few days, the family were at their wits end.

Finally, someone realized that someone was making trouble for the Ford family on purpose. But who

could it be?

No one could guess.

There was still a day left before the end of the week.

The entire Ford family was gloomy. Everyone had dark circles under their eyes and were dispirited.

They were already very tired. During the day, they were busy raising money. At night, they would be

harassed by those hooligans sent by the Perry’s. They couldn't even sleep well. This had been going

on for several days.

"I can't take it anymore!" Caroline suddenly screamed in despair.

She looked much more haggard after the past few days. She didn't even dare to apply powder because

it would only make her look more like a female ghost. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Her face was pale and her eyes were bulging. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was messy. When

Caroline looked at herself in the mirror; she doubted if the person in the mirror was actually her.

The others were not much better off. Samuel would find clumps of hair falling from his head at night. If

this continued, he would soon become bald.

"I'll call Leo now. Why should we take responsibility for what he’s done? I'm so angry."

Caroline trembled with anger and took out her phone to dial a number.

Soon, the phone was connected, and a calm voice could be heard, "Hello."

"Leo, where are the three things that you promised? Have you completed any of them?" Caroline got

straight to the point with him.

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and said, "There's still one day left before

the deadline. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"So, you know that you only have one day left? Thanks to you, the Ford family is done for, it's all over!"

Caroline vented her anger as she screamed hysterically. Her entire face was filled with resentment.

"Leo, come back right now and apologize to the O'Brien family. Now! Now!"

Leo's tone was still calm as he said, "Sorry, it's not the right time yet. Forgive me for not being able to

do that. I will come to the Fords to settle everything tomorrow."

Then, he hung up the phone.

"What did he say?" Rebecca asked with a cold expression.

"He said that he would come tomorrow when the deadline was up."

Caroline's tone was indescribably cold. "We'll all be dead by the time that happens."

"Caroline, if there's no other way, we can mortgage the company. As for Leo..."

Rebecca's expression suddenly became vicious. "He has to go to jail. We will lose the company, but he

has to pay as well!"

The other members of the Ford family also looked furious. Everyone held Leo responsible for this.

"It would appear that they've been forced into a corner." Leo said lightly as he sat leisurely on the sofa

in Valendale Villa.

"That's right," Nadine said, her face expressionless as ever.

In her opinion, the Ford family were extremely stupid. They were desperately looking for a backer, but

they didn't know that their biggest backer was right next to them all along, and they had tossed him out.

Leo smiled faintly and asked, "What's the reaction of the O’Brien’s and Frank Perry?"

"They will come on time at nine in the morning tomorrow to apologize."

"Very good. Come with me to the house tomorrow at eight then." A faint smile appeared on the corner

of Leo's mouth.

The next morning, the two of them returned to the Ford family together.

The Fords had been waiting for a long time.

Caroline closed the door right after Leo and Nadine entered as if she was afraid that Leo would run

away.

"Leo, the week's deadline is up. What about what you promised us?" Caroline demanded coldly.

They would fight to the death. The Ford family's company might be done for, but even if they were

going to hell, they were going to drag someone down with them. They would definitely send Leo to jail

today!

However, Leo responded calmly, "It's done."

"Is that so?"

The cold smile on Caroline's face deepened, "Then, what about the O’Brien’s and Frank Perry?"

"Soon. They will come in half an hour."

"Go on, go on pretending."

Caroline said coldly, "I don't think you did anything this week, did you?"

"How do you know that I didn't do anything?" Leo frowned.

Caroline was now certain that Leo still did not know what happened to the Fords this week. She

sneered even more.

"Well, let me tell you what happened in the past few days. Thanks to you, the court has sent a

document asking us to compensate the O'Brien family with 35 million dollars within one week. If we

don't pay them the sum, they will forcibly transfer away our company and properties. We won't even

have a place to live anymore after this!"

"And the Perry thugs smashed everything of value in this house. They scratched the cars and even

wrote bloody threats on the walls."

Leo was not surprised by this, and he said flatly, "This is karma. You must pay the price for doing bad

things. Whether you believe it or not, the O’Brien’s and Perry’s will apologize for what they have done

over the past few days."

"Leo, are you still trying to fool us at this time?"

Rebecca was so angry that she laughed. She pointed to Leo and said, "The O'Brien family and the

Perry family will come today. But they won't be here to apologize but will come to get us to pay! This is

all thanks to you!"

"Leo, when the people from the court come later, you can go with them."

Nadine, who was standing behind Leo looked indifferent. Meanwhile, Leo said calmly, "I told you, it's

only 8:30 now. There's still half an hour left before nine. Can't you wait for that long?"

"Okay, everyone, let's wait for another half an hour!"

Samuel's face was full of disdain. He looked at Leo hatefully and said, "If the O'Brien family and the

Perry family don't come or if come but do not apologize, you not only have to leave the Ford family, but

you also have to go to jail!"

"No problem." Leo nodded. He moved a chair over and sat down as if nothing had happened.

When Caroline, Rebecca, and the others saw how Leo was behaving, they were furious. However,

when they thought of how he would go to prison in half an hour, they sneered.

William's face was filled with worry. He didn't know where Leo got the confidence from. Yesterday, the

O'Brien family and the Perry family had come to make trouble. Why would they apologize today?

Time passed, but no one had arrived yet.

Caroline stood up and shouted coldly, "Leo, don't make a fool of yourself. There's only one minute left.

It's almost nine o'clock. What else do you want to say..."

Before Caroline could finish her sentence, a few cars pulled in outside.

A row of Mercedes-Benzes and a row of Audis were parked on both sides in the Ford family's

courtyard.

Two groups of people got out of the cars.

The members of the Ford family were so terrified that they turned white as sheets. The O'Brien and

Perry families were really here!

Moreover, they all looked so grave and stern. They had brought a large group of people with them. It

was clear that they bore malicious intentions...

Neil and Frank stood at the front of the group, glaring at the Fords. In the end, their eyes stopped on

William.

With a plop, Rebecca pulled Caroline down with her and they knelt in front of Neil and Frank. They

were so petrified that they both burst into tears.

"Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Perry, he is the culprit behind everything. This has nothing to do with the Ford family.

Please, let go of us!

Caroline was so frightened that she did not even dare to breathe loudly. The entire O'Brien and Perry

family were here today. They saw not only Dwayne O'Brien but also Frank's girl, Nicole.

However, Neil and Frank merely glanced at Caroline and Rebecca coldly before ignoring them

completely.

They walked up to William before turning to look at the people they had brought and nodded lightly.

Swoosh!

In the next instant, everyone turned towards William and said in booming voices, "We are sorry, Mr.

Ford!"
