NovelStartChapter 361 Investments Since William could not access the company's funds, he decided to head hto think of another way.
He went to his study and opened up his safe. Once he took out all of the gold and cash he had kept inside, he had accumulated a total of two to three million dollars.
It was a lot of money, but after considering how rare the investment opportunity was, he felt like it wasn't enough.
William was hesitating whether he should borrow money from other people. However, as the president of a company, he could not find it in himself to lower his pride and ask people for money.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe also thought about asking Sierra, but he figured that Theo probably would not allow her to lend him the money.
He had even considered inviting Theo to invest in the project with him. However, he was terrified that Johnny would cut him out of the deal entirely if Theo joined in.
So, he decided to gather all of the family's savings instead.
Once he had all of the money in hand, William left quickly. Vera watched him leave with a frown.
After a moment of hesitation, she decided to call Xavier.
"Xavier, your dad just carried a big bag out of the house. Do you know what happened?" Xavier stopped typing on his keyboard, took his phone, and stood up. "Mom, could you go into his study and take a look?" Although confused, Vera listened and entered William's studio. Seeing the ransacked safe, she gasped and asked, "Did a thief enter our house? Why is the safe open? And where is all the money inside?" Hearing Vera's shocked and panicked voice, Xavier sighed and explained, "Mom, you don't need to worry. Dad has probably taken all the money out." With her son's reassurance, she quickly calmed down and went on with her day. However, Xavier remained standing with his phone in hand. In the end, he finally contacted someone he had never contacted in a long time. Once the call connected, he began cautiously, "Sierra, Dad says that he's found a good investment opportunity and has taken all of the family's wealth with him. Do you know about this?" Sierra was practicing the piano when she received his call.
The smile on her face faded considerably as she answered calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. Just focus on learning how to manage the company." "That's not it. Sierra, the whole situation feels off. Big investment opportunities aren't so easy to cby. I'm just afraid that Dad is being scammed." Xavier quickly expressed his concerns.
Sierra's voice remained calm as she advised, "Don't overthink things." Then, the two of them fell into silence. Xavier felt his heart beat rapidly as he recalled William's explanation of the whole investment scheme.
He was sure that it was a scam and that William would not be able to get his money back once he had invested everything.
However, the timing seemed too perfect. The company did not have extra funds, and William would not be able to use the company's money to gamble on such an investment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, he recalled how Sierra had claimed that she not only wanted to remove William from the company but also wanted all of his money and assets from him.
A suspicion formed in Xavier's mind as he asked cautiously, "So, is this whole schyour doing?" Sierra did not give him a direct answer. Her voice was cold as she answered, "Xavier, if you don't want to see your mom getting beaten and whipped by a belt again, then I'd suggest you quickly take control of the company." Before he could reply, she ended the call.
On the other end, William met up with Johnny again after scraping together eight million dollars.
He handed the card to Johnny expectantly and said, "I'm only able to afford eight million dollars. Once the company's finances are back in order, I'll be able to invest even more." Johnny looked at the card but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he claimed, "Eight million dollars isn't enough. You might as well just not invest at all." Panicking, William quickly said, "Wait, eight million dollars is just my initial investment. I'll increase my investments later."
Johnny's expression was filled with disdain as he said, "The foreign m company only wants investments this tround. Even if you want to invest later on, you won't have the opportunity to do so." Seeing William's twisted expression, Johnny stood up to leave.
His voice was filled with regret as he said, "This is a golden opportunity. Although
it isn't a once-in-a-lifetopportunity, I've never encountered such an in an opportunity in decades. It's basically free money. It's a shyou don't have enough funds." William seemed hesitant.
However, as Johnny was about to leave, William gritted his teeth and asked, "Then, what's the minimum amount forto invest?"
