A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 214

Seeing his daughter fall silent again, Chandler took a moment to gather his thoughts. "Was it Mr. Xi who told her?"

Carolina shook her head. She knew nothing about Maria and what was going on with her.

"There's no use talking about her now. What's done is done. What are we going to do next?"

"Borrow money from some bank." That was the only way.

"Alright, fine. Say you apply for a mortgage loan, but what will you pledge as a collateral? The Song Group?" Chandler asked.

It seemed that this was the only one way indeed. Given the current situation, it was likely that no bank would be willing to lend them money.

James strode into a restaurant quickly, Lorenzo at his heels.

When they reached the door to a private dining room, Lorenzo walked ahead to push the door open for his boss.

"Good evening, Mr. Xi," Carolina greeted him.

James stepped into the room. He glanced at the woman in front of him briefly and said, "You'll only have ten minutes."

Carolina nodded. She looked at Lorenzo gratefully, as he arranged the short dinner meeting for her.

In order not to waste time, Carolina cut straight to the

point. "Mr. Xi, you must have heard that my investment mistake has caused Song Group to fall into a crisis of capital turnover. I need to ask you for a loan, with the Song Company as collateral, of course. As for the amount we need, I want five billion dollars."

'Five billion dollars?'

Without batting an eyelash, James said ruthlessly, "Even if the Song Group wasn't in a financial crisis, it wouldn't be worth five billion. If you're really only after securing a loan for the Song Group, Ms. Song, why don't you follow the normal application process?"

Carolina's heart ached as if though she had been stabbed in the chest. Forcing herself to keep calm, she pressed on. "Mr. Xi, I know my request is a little excessive. If five billion is too much, we can settle for three billion."

Ever since Daniela's scandals had gone public and put the company in ruins, Carolina constantly found herself regretting not having been the one to marry into the Xi family.

If she had married James, she wouldn't have had to stress herself every day trying to save her family's company.

"Ms. Song, you know the situation of Song Group best. I'm sorry. I never take a loser's deal. Once again. If you need a loan, please apply for it according to the normal process.

If there is nothing else, I will go now."

The man stood up. Carolina watched the man leave.

Lorenzo shot her a quick glance before following James out, but said nothing.

When Carolina was left alone in the room, she buried of face in her hands and tried to suppress her sobs. There were eight delicate dishes sitting prettily on the table, untouched.

James had come and gone, with few words exchanged in between.

If the HL Group wouldn't lend her money, no company would.

The fact that the land in South District was sealed up made Jonathan's position in the company on the verge of collapsing. His proposal of acquiring the shares of RC New Energy was approved by the shareholders. But, his twenty proposals, such as raising ten billion matched funds, were not successful under the joint efforts of the shareholders.

The value of the shares of YL Group dropped at the opening of the market, falling a total of ten points at the end of the day. The market value lost two billion dollars within just one day.

Several shareholders of YL Group were distraught, ready to kick Jonathan out of the office and vote for the next chairman of the board.

The bystanders in the financial circle of H City could more or less see that Jonathan had been secretly set up by someone, and they all agreed that it was harsh.

But it was difficult to tell who was behind all of it.

Although Jonathan didn't have a high position in the financial circle of H City, he still had a little impact, which was not something that ordinary people had.
