Chapter 1035


    Such an unpredictable situation was indeed distressing.


    Brian removed the sses from his nose and kneaded his sore eyes to smother the anxiety in him.


    Next, he responded to their questions. "Okay, I understand that you''re worried, but it''s useless to


    say these right now.


    Silence."


    He raised his hands to disy a palm-down. After long years of being the bank governor, he carried


    immense prestige; the crowd dared not act recklessly upon hearing his words and hence the


    obedient silence. Even the midge man, who first voiced out the doubts, reseated himself.


    Watching their reactions, Brian heaved a silent sigh of relief before continuing, "Ladies and


    gentlemen, do not worry. Since I''ve approved the thirty million loan to Miss Reed, President Fuller


    will definitely help us. I''m not lying. However, it is still early for that. Perhaps, he doesn''t know that


    the loan has been approved yet."


    That was the only exnation he could give in order to appease the throng, yet some of them were


    unsatisfied.


    "Mr. Smith, you''ve said that we will be able to hear good news from President Fuller by tonight.


    That''s why we''ve been waiting in the conference room. Otherwise, we must have gone mad to


    spend the white night here."


    "Yeah! Mr. Smith, are you really sure that President Fuller will help us? What if he doesn''t-"


    "Enough!" Brian mmed the table to interrupt the person as his patience wore thin. "Since I''ve


    proposed it and I am the one approving the loan, I will bear the responsibility if President Fuller


    doesn''t help. Are you satisfied with this answer?"


    Every one of them hung their head low without a word and the ire in him was slightly doused.


    Propping his hands on the edge of the table, he sat down again.


    Even so, instead of feeling relief upon repressing his subordinates, he was on tenterhooks. Every


    step of his was taken as nned and not even once had they fallen through.


    Now that Toby was his opponent, he was not that confident in winning the game. At this moment, he


    was rue to make the decision of setting Toby up just to retain his position.


    If Toby decides to settle this score with me, I''ll be done for this lifetime. A bitter smile appeared


    across his lips.

    He recalled what happened this afternoon. As much as he was happy to ry the news to everyone


    at that time, he felt silly. How could he blurt something that was not confirmed yet?


    Right when Brian dwelled on his foolishness, the door was pushed open with a loud thud. A young


    man in a suit dashed into the conference room with a phone in his hand.


    Due to the fast pace, he kept huffing and puffing when he arrived beside Brian. He tried to catch his


    breath while speaking, "Greetings... Mister.... Mr. Smith..."


    After a while, he failed to exin the reason for his arrival and a displeasure frown appeared on


    Brian''s forehead. "Anything can wait. Let''s wait until you catch your breath."


    Brian handed a ss of water to the youngster, who was so thirsty that he gulped it down in one-go


    without thanking Brian. After polishing it off, he breathed a long sigh and his body rxed atst.


    Although his breathing was still heavy, he could at least speak.


    "Mr. Smith, there''s good news," stated the excited man loudly while he looked at Brian.


    "Good news?" Brian was stunned momentarily. When something shed across his mind, his eyes


    widened and his countenance brightened up in excitement. "Are you saying-"


    The young man nodded vigorously. "Yes. The Fuller Group contacted us to say that President Fuller


    is willing to transfer one billion euro from Citybank to our bank. Mr. Smith, we''re saved! We don''t


    have to dismiss our core members!"


    His face turned crimson due to excitement as he spoke. Even the others in the room stood up


    merrily in ones and twos.


    "Is it true?" they asked hurriedly while gazing at him.


    He nodded repeatedly. "It is. The money is in our bank now."


    "Mr. Smith, hurry and check it!" One of them urged, for the bank governor was the only person with


    the right to check the transfer for such a massive sum of money.


    It was not until then did Brian, who was so giddy with joy, pull back his senses and nodded. "Alright,


    alright. No rushing. I''ll check it right now."


    He tapped his keyboard to check Toby''s ount. The overly-vehement emotions rendered his


    tapping fingers tremble, so he made a few wrong entries for the master password.


    The surrounding onlookers were like cats on hot bricks. If he was not the governor, they would have


    pulled him away and taken his seat to check on their own.


    At longst, he managed to key in the right passwords to check on Toby''s personal ount in


    which the sight of the newly transferred amount made everyone draw a sharp breath.


    That was one billion euro! Even after the conversion, it was a staggering amount of money!


    It was their first time seeing such a huge sum of money in someone''s personal ount.


    Furthermore, it was not a fixed deposit, but a fluid capital which one could withdraw anytime he


    fancied.


    This was the life of a rich person. Although some had a lot of money in their bank ount, those


    were still only fixed deposits. They were not real money as those who possessed them were


    nothing but a fake rich. On the contrary, someone like Toby was actually rich.


    Most importantly, that amount was just the edge of the iceberg to Toby. No one could imagine how


    much he had in other international banks.


    The serial number could easily elicit jealousy in others. Why is there such a vast difference when


    we''re all human?!


    Everyone exchanged nces and saw the same helplessness and envy in their eyes. Still, putting


    their feelings aside, they were on cloud nine as the core members could remain in the


    headquarters.


    "Mr. Smith, you were right. President Fuller is helping us!"


    "Yeah, Mr. Smith. Isn''t it great?"


    "I know, I know." Brian nodded and a wave of relief washed over him whereas the burden was lifted


    in him.


    It is great and it is a relief. Didn''t I take the huge risk by using Miss Reed to set President Fuller up


    just for this moment?


    The reality proved him right; he took the chance on it and it was a win! Moreover, the fact that Toby


    was willing to repay his deeds indicated that he was safe. Thus, he need not have to put his guard


    up and watch out for Toby''s revenge.


    Brian kneaded his brows and finally let out a smile as he was all loosened up. Next, he grabbed his


    gadget and contacted the Fuller Group to convey his gratitude.


    He wished he could call Toby personally, but he did not have his contact number. Leaving with no


    choice, he could only give a call to thepany.


    In Fuller Group, Tom received the phone call from Brian and was not surprised one bit. As long as


    the other party was a thankful person, he would always express his gratitude through a call.


    "I understand. It is nothing, but President Fuller has mentioned that this is the first and will be the


    last time. If something simr happens again, he won''t let you get away with it," recounted Tom


    expressionlessly to the phone.


    Although he was not sure what Brian had done, he warned in a stern voice as Toby had told him to


    do so.
