Chapter 518


    I didn’t know what Eric meant and I wasn’t sure in my heart. If Carson were allowed into the room and,


    in the end, I still had to shake off any pretense of cordiality, I might as well make a scene now.


    My heart was a mess. I didn’t sleep well that night.


    my


    For the next two days, Eric didn’t call me or WeChat. Carson called me several times, all concerned


    about my well-being.


    I didn’t know why Eric suddenly ignored me. I couldn’t sit still. Seeing that the wound on my face was


    almost healed. I drove to Eric’spany. Eric was not at thepany. Jenny Armstrong said he left


    town the day before yesterday.


    1 left unhappy. When I got home, I sent Eric a WeChat message. ‘I went to hispany.’


    THE


    After sending, I looked at my phone and waited for Eric to answer, but it was like a stone sinking into


    the sea. There was no movement from Eric.


    What the hell was going on? Eric wanted to go back on his word? He didn’t want to help me?


    If that were the case, he could tell me the truth. What did it mean to be silent like that?


    No. Eric wasn’t that kind of person. He would definitely do what he had promised. Maybe he had


    something important to do. I would wait.


    Another day passed. In the evening, Dn came over to my house to y chess with my father, and


    after that he invited me to dinner.


    While having dinner, Dn took a phone call. Dn didn’t do this behind my back, I heard him talking


    about the price of stuff. The price continued to rise. It was five hundred more per ton than thest time.


    Wasn’t the stuff Dn was talking about made with the raw materials that Carson stockpiled? Though I

    didn’t care too much about it. I paid some attention to a part of it.


    Dn said he would continue to move up and encouraged him to keep stocking.


    Last time, Carson had umted a lot of assets. It seemed to have something to do with Dn


    too. It was only because Dn had amassed so much wealth that Carson realized what he was


    doing. Although his movements were slow, he still earned a lot of money. I didn’t know what would


    happen this time.


    When I got home, I especially went online to check the price of the material and its raw materials. It


    seemed that this month they continued to rise.


    Then I found several news about the reduction of raw material production.


    I closed the webpage and picked up the phone, only to see that Eric had indeed replied to me on


    WeChat. ‘I’m out of town. I’ll be back in a few days. You stay at home to recover. Don’t go anywhere.


    It was better not to answer. I was tangled up in your numerous messages a day ago. Now it wasn’t


    easy for him to respond to


    me at all.


    Feeling depressed, I threw my phone aside and got ready to take a shower. As I went to the bathroom


    door, the phone rang. I picked it up and found it to be Mrs. Fant, Scott Fant. I took it right away. ‘Scott!’


    ‘Lily, it’s sote. Am I disturbing you?’


    “No, I haven’t slept yet.


    ‘You really are a night owl.’ Scott smiled.


    ‘Scott, what’s the matter?’


    — Yes, I just heard the news. I want to ask you. Do you know about the Carson loan?


    “I don’t know much about hispany. When did this happen?’ I asked.


    ‘Today, yourpany’s finance manager took the purchase agreement and went to see Mr. Conway,


    manager of the credit department. The amount is not small, several hundred million.’


    ‘Such arge amount?’ I was shocked too.


    — Yes, Mr. Conway said he had staked half of thepany.


    ‘What’s his purchase contract?’ I vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Did Carson also hear the


    news. that raw materials and finished products have increased a lot?
