    Chapter 75 The Gands Are Going to Suffer


    Amber said after a few seconds of thought, “Let’s do this. First, you go andmunicate with the


    presidents these banks to see if they can change their mind. Then, try to find out if Trenton


    was behind this.”


    “Alright.” She answered, and then she thought of something, “Do we need to tell Mr Lyon


    about this?”


    “No.” Amber shook her head,” I don’t wish to bother him because he had his ownpany to


    look after.”


    “Alright.”


    Soon after, Ste Chan from the finance department arrived.


    “Ms. Reed, what’s going on? I just received phone calls from the banks requesting us to pay


    off our debt immediately. Didn’t we just get the money? Howe we’re being asked to repay


    the loan when it’s not even due?” Ste asked while walking to the office table.


    Amber pinched her nose and replied, “Can’t you see it? We’ve been targeted.”


    “Who?” Ste asked angrily as she pped her hand on the desk.


    Coldness shed across Amber’s eyes, “I suspect that Trenton did this, but there is no evidence to


    prove my suspicion for the time being.”


    “It’s more important for us to solve the financial problem than to gather evidence. We The loans are


    indispensable to support the operation of Goldstone. If we pay back the loans now, Goldstone will


    immediately go bankrupt,” Ste exined with an irritated voice.


    Amber pursed her lips.


    She was well aware of the gravity of the situation.


    “Ms. Reed.” There was another knock on the door.


    She stood at the door with a regretful expression while shaking her head and said, “I had


    lend us any money whatsoever. Meanwhile, those who have lent out the money are determined to


    make us pay it back as soon as possible. Ms. Reed, what should we do?”


    Amber asked, “Did they mention that this was instructed by Trenton?”


    “No, I had asked them, but they were evasive in their words as if they were afraid of something.” She


    answered.


    “How can the president of a bank be afraid of the boss of a privatepany?” Ste said as


    she frowned.


    Amber narrowed her eyes, “Unless the one who instructed them wasn’t Trenton but someone


    from the government.”


    “Ms. Reed, when did you mess with the government officer?” Ste looked solemn.


    Amber shook her head and said nkly, “I don’t know.”


    She had recently dealt with the authorities regarding thend. However, she didn’t offend


    them.


    “Forget about it. We can think about thatter. The most important thing right now is to resolve the


    financial issue that we are facing,” Ste suggested.


    Amber closed her eyes tiredly, “She, please contact the presidents of the banks that have already


    granted our loans. Just tell them that I am inviting them to dinner at Universal Hotel.”


    She must persuade those who have granted the loans from retracting the agreement.


    Otherwise, Goldstone Co. would go bankrupt.


    As for those who had not released the loans, just leave them aside.


    “Alright.” She nodded.


    Amber looked at Ste and said, “Sort out those loan agreements and bring them to me. And I need


    you to apany me to the hotelter.”


    “Alright.”


    After an hour, Amber and Ste arrived at the Universal Hotel.


    Within the Olkmore City, this was the only seven–star hotel owned by the Farrell Group.


    A typical meal here could cost more than an average family’s yearly ie.


    Not to say that Amber had reserved a private room and ordered a slew of expensive dishes to entertain


    the presidents of those banks. This demonstrated her sincerity.


    After enjoying such a delectable treat, the bank presidents were finally informed of the


    person’s identity who had targeted her. The person’sst name was Gand.


    “Ms. Reed, from what I know, there is only one powerful family with the surname Gand in South


    Riverside.” Ste whispered into Amber’s ear.


    Amber tightened her grip on the wine ss in her hand. Her bright face became frosty, and she said,


    “It’s Gigi Gand.”


    She had no conflicts with the Gand family.


    But she did have some disagreements with Gigi Gand.


    “I guess it’s her too. Why did she do this? Is it because of the card gamest time?” Ste guessed.


    Amber took a sip of her wine, and muttered with an unreadable expression on her face, “Maybe.”


    “If that’s true, she is indeed too petty.” Ste snorted, “Moreover, she is in South Riverside.


    How dare she wields power in Olkmore City? Ms. Reed, I need to leave for a moment to make a phone


    call.”


    “Alright.” Amber agreed with a nod of her head.


    Ste left the room and made a phone call in a quiet ce.


    “What do you want?” A gruff voice answered the phone.


    Ste rolled his eyes and said, “I heard that because the Gand family was too high–profile over the


    past few years, the top authorities had decided to suppress them. However, they hadn’t. found a


    suitable excuse to act, right?”


    “Why are you asking this?” The man said with impatience.


    “It seems to be true.” After pulling a cigarette from her pocket, Ste lit it and took one big drag. She


    added, “I’m here to tell you some good news. Gigi Gand, the granddaughter of Mel Gand, is


    currently in Olkmore City. She had used her family’s power to exert control over the bank’s affairs in


    this city. What do you think of using this as an excuse to move against the


    Gands?”


    The man on the phone brightened his eyes and said, “This is indeed good news. Before Mel Gand


    retired, he didn’t meddle in the political affairs of other ces. But her granddaughter has the audacity


    to do something like this.”


    “That’s true. She was stupid enough to dig her own trap.” Ste mused as she exhaled a puff.


    Gigi had offended her previously when ying cards, so Ste yed a little trick to cause some


    troubles to the Gand family


    This time, Gigi had screwed the entire family.


    Ste couldn’t stopughing when she thought of this.


    The man frowned, “What are youughing at? How is your search for the young master


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    going?”


    Ste stopped her smile and yelled, “How dare you ask this? You told me that the young master had


    stayed in Ensford Town, but I couldn’t find any clues when I went there. How can I


    locate him?”


    The man choked for a moment and said, “That’s enough. Don’t yell. Just quickly find the


    master because the old master won’t be able to survive for long.”


    “I understand.” Ste responded reluctantly.


    young


    After the call, she puffed out the cigarette in her mouth and pressed it out before walking into


    the room.


    When she arrived at the room, she noticed the bank presidents exiting.


    Amber was trailing behind them, ready to send them off with a smile.


    But it was clear that her smile was forced and filled with sadness. When all the bank


    presidents had left, Ste asked, “Ms. Reed, how was the negotiation?”


    Amber returned to the room before responding, “No, they still don’t want to help us. But I tried my best.


    They gave us three days to pay the loan.”


    “Three days…” Ste smiled, “That’s enough!”


    “What do you mean?” Amber looked at her in confusion.


    Steughed and said, “Just rx, Ms. Reed. I’m sure that these banks would not call us to pay the


    debt after three days. Those who haven’t approved our loan will change their minds and continue to


    lend money to us because the Gand family is going to suffer.”


    When Amber saw her expression of certainty, she realized something was going on. She asked, “Did


    you do something?”


    Steughed and remained silent.


    Amber was now sure that Ste was no ordinary employee.


    Perhaps the key was the phone call she had made.


    Thinking of this, Amber stood up and bowed to Ste.


    Shocked by her actions, Ste stood up after too, asking, “Ms. Reed, what’s this for?”
