Meanwhile in the hotel where the Song’s were celebrating.
Both the hosts and guests were enjoying themselves.
Ethan’s face was flushed red due to alcohol. The more he downed, the happier he became.
Today marked the beginning of his new life, hence he had to celebrate!
There were a lot of small-sizedpaniesing over as soon as they received the news.
They were aware that the Song family had signed the dealership with the Helping Hands Medical Center.
They knew that the Song’s were getting stronger and would soon regain their fame and prestige.
There were 20 tables in the private dining room.
Every guest was ttering the Song’s whoncould hardly contain the glee over their victory.
When Ethan was chatting with others over a ss of wine, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked up his cell phone andughed immediately. “Hey, Brother Baxter, I’ve been wanting to look for you. Why didn’t youe to celebrate with us?”
Baxter muttered something through the phone.
Suddenly, Ethan’s body stiffened. He stood rooted to the spot, dumbstruck.
The person who was drinking with him noticed the change in Ethan’s expression and patted him gently. “Mr. Song, are you alright? Mr. Song, can you hear me?”
Ethan looked as if he had just woken up from a dream. He stared at his cell phone in disbelief.
He couldn’t believe what he had just heard!
He pushed the person drinking with him away and immediately called Baxter back.
However, Baxter had turned off his phone.
Ethan’s heart felt like it had been pricked by a thousand needles!
He should be the focus of the whole city this evening!
He should be having a whale of a time while giving toast to the guest for his sess.
However, this phone call hadpletely spoiled his mood!
The hangover was slowly getting hold of him; he was bing giddier.
He kneeled over on the ground!
Everyone around him was scared out of their wits and immediately rushed towards him!
Ethan got up from the ground, his face as pale as a ghost!
Rosaline asked in concern, “Ethan, what’s wrong with you? Hey, I know you’re happy, but you can’t be drinking too much. I want to have another round of feast again tomorrow.”
Ethan’s face was getting even more pallid!
He looked at Rosaline and blurted, “Grandma, the North Wind Fund has broken the contract.”
The news was like a p of thunder!Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Everyone was stunned!
Rosaline’s face suddenly turned ashen.
“Yo yo-you! What did you say? Say that again!”
“Baxter from the North Wind Fund just called and said that they wanted to break the contract.
They don’t want to coborate with us anymore, Ethan hissed, his face twitched in fury.
Rosaline was blown away!
Jane looked at the crowd gathering around them and immediately shouted, “Okay, the banquet hase to an end. Please go home.”
This piece of news began to spread among the crowd, like a wildfire through a forest.
After everyone left, the Song’s were the only one left in the room, their faces never so solemn!
Rosaline mmed the table and said, “The North Wind Fund is going too far! They have signed the contract with us! How dare they break it? Aren’t they afraid that we will sue them?”
Ethan said angrily, “D*mn it. Baxter said on the phone that if we want to sue him, we’re more than wee to do it. They are readyt o y the game with us! What he really means is that he’s willing topensate us despite breaking the contract!”
The Song family burst into an uproar!
The North Wind Fund is crazy!
They would ratherpensate us than break the contract!
What on earth are they doing?”
“He must be jealous of our family since we are going to make a triumphanteback!
He wants to sabotage us with this dirty trick!”
“Humph! It’s an indisputable fact that we’d signed the dealership with the Helping Hands Medical Center. With our current position, we don’t have to be scared of the North Wind Fund!”
The room immediately filled with a tumult of insults and criticism!
Be and Madison looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Only the two of them had been feeling uneasy about their deal with the North Wind Fund since the beginning.
This feeling had started when the Song’s coborated with the North Wind Fund before they signed a chain of contracts with more than a dozen pharmaceutical
panies to form an alliance.
Both of them were constantly worried even before the Song’s threatened the Helping Hands Medical Center to ept their outrageous and unreasonable requests.
Everything seemed to go too smoothly.
It felt that something funny was going on, but the two of them could not pinpoint what it was.
Only those who got carried away by the victory didn’t notice it.
Without their knowledge, the Song family had been forced to the edge of a cliff by a mysterious force.
Sure enough, here came the unforeseen crisis!
On the other hand, Madison’s heart skipped a beat!
She knew that Chase was the owner of the She knew a lot more than Be!
Helping Hands Medical Center!
She also knew how decisive Chase wasHe would not bear any humiliations!
It seemed that the table had been turned around.
Did it mean that Chase had begun to take action against the Song’s?
Thinking of this, she got goose bumps all over her body.
The issue seemed toe from the North Wind Fund.
She knew that Baxter from the North Wind Fund was one of Chase’s pawns!
Everything seemed to join up by a series of coincidences.
Besides, it was she who mentioned the North Wind Fund and Baxter in front of the Song family!
Thinking of this, she waspletely mind
blown. Goosebumps ravaged all over her body again.
What a coincidence!
This coincidence seemed to be controlled by a pair of invisible hands.
He was using Golden City as his chessboard; every
element in it-the pharmaceuticalpanies, the Song’s-was merely his pawns!
“D*mn it!” Madison cursed.
She finally discerned the truth.
She finally knew the reason Chase promised to go to the bar with her previously!
Why did he choose North Wind Bar?
He told her that there was some business he had to attend to there!
Chase had arranged everything!
That evening she wanted to leave the bar but Chase insisted on waiting for Baxter to return!
He was not there to wait for Baxter to apologize to her.
He wanted her to meet Baxter so she would have an impression of the North Wind Fund and Baxter!
Then, when the Song family had a meeting, she would naturally be reminded of the North Wind Fund when they were in need of money!
Chase had nned everything!
Madison was so shocked by his skill.
Goosebumps sprang over her arms, her heart pumping wildly in her chest!
What a terrifying brother-inw she had!
Not only was he good at using his power…
He could also manipte people’s minds!
It could only mean that the Song family had fallen into Chase’s trap.
It was not going to be that simple for the Song family to escape its way out of this set up.
“Ethan, isn’t Baxter a good friend of yours?
Why did he do that?” Rosaline still refused to believe this disastrous fact.
Ethan looked as though he was about to burst out crying.
“How would I know that?
We had talked through everything, and he did not even hesitate to agree to our terms!
What’s wrong with him?”
Madison stood aside and looked on at the ongoing argument and the Song’s.
She knew that they were no better than the walking corpses at the moment.
The Songs would probably never find out how they ended up like this.
Although she felt that she had been used by Chase, she somehow felt pleased and gratified.
Well, Chase used her because he trusted her.
Perhaps the only w on that very night was the incident when Baxter trifled with her.
Madison believed that Chase was a righteous man, he would never ask Baxter toy a finger on her.
“Humph, the North Wind Fund! They are so heartless! Alright then, without them, we still have nine otherpanies with us! We have enough money! Since the North Wind Fund decides to turn their back on us, then we won’t ask for their help too!
I announce that from now on, the Song family will cklist the North Wind Fund. We will make all the
other pharmaceuticalpanies follow suit too!
We will never coborate with the North Wind Fund again!
Let’s see how long they can hold this up!” Rosaline yelled angrily.
When Be heard about the chain of nine otherpanies, she broke out into a cold sweat.
I know why the North Wind Fund broke the contract.”
She muttered, “The Song Family would be dead!”
