Shane slowly answered the call with a grim face.
"Could the Bennett family withstand this?"
Sean's voice rang again on the phone.
"You! You!"
Shane was so furious his blood boiled. His hands shook as he held the phone.
"I can withstand this!
Shane clenched his hands and replied through clenched teeth.
"Very well."
Sean hung up again without further ado.
Bang!
Shane was still not pleased after slamming the handset onto its base. He grabbed the base and ripped off the phone cable.
He finally stopped after throwing the whole phone onto the ground and smashing it to pieces.
He did not even want to take Sean's calls right now.
Sean was like a god watching them make a fool of themselves from above.
It made Shane angry and a little scared.
"Mr. Bennett, what do we do…"
The female secretary asked again as she looked at Shane with trepidation in her eyes.
"Hmph!
"Find Trusty Bank's Xavier Leeman.
"I have been friends with him for years. Ask him to lend us some money first.
"Never mind. I'll call him myself."
Shane clenched his teeth with a flicker of madness in his eyes.
Sean was really trying to bring down the Bennett family this time!
The Bennett family might suffer huge losses if they could not survive.
However, Sean would be nothing in front of the Bennett family if they withstood this!
Shane picked up his cell phone and called Xavier.
"Buddy, you gotta help me..."
Shane went straight to the point as soon as the line got through.
"Buddy, I can't help you."
However, instead of his usual enthusiasm, Xavier on the other end of the line replied calmly.
"You! Has someone talked to you?
"We're friends. We've been friends for more than ten years!"
Shane suddenly realized and bellowed into his phone.
"Buddy, I care more about myself and my family.
"So, that's that for now."
Xavier finished and hung up the phone.
Shane slowly lowered his hands and collapsed into the chair.
Someone stole the company funds, and they failed to secure a loan. Their capital chain was ruptured.
The company did not have any money now.
Thump thump thump!
Just then, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps outside the office.
