After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant-Chapter 150 Wanting Revenge.
Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Wanting Revenge.
Just a few days ago, Romero Empire had a net worth of over ten billion, today, after so many investors have withdrawn their investment, it merely graced 3 billion dollars.
So, looking at the figure in front of him, with that in mind, Melvin felt like a rock had just suddenly been dumped on his head.
1.92 Billion dollars wasn’t money to be played about with and the painful fact is that there was no way they could avoid this case as long as it was Gabriel Bryce filling for a suit.
"How the hell did this come about?" He questioned Kennedy, waiting impatiently for the assistant to give his response.
His response however, came in the form of a paper. "Mr. Bryce’s lawyer brought this along." He explained as he placed it down on the table in front of Melvin.
Melvin, took one look at the content and less than a minute later, disappointment washed over him.
"What? What does it say?" Rodrigo asked as he inched forward, wanting to confirm that the company wasn’t going into such a huge problem because of his act.
However, he had barely gotten within arms length when Melvin fixed his gaze on his, the look of disappointment looking more heavy now that it was directed at him.
"What is this, Uncle?" Melvin questioned. "A hundred and ninety two million dollars lesser than what he was meant to have been receiving?"
Mentioning that alone was enough to tell Rodrigo that he had been caught. "I can explain, Melvin."
"Please do." His instant answer was quick to put Rodrigo in a spot that he didn’t like and watching him seat with his hands crossed, in a chair that belonged to him, Rodrigo felt like he had been wronged.
Who was Melvin to question him when he had failed in securing one single task!
"I’m listening Uncle, please carry on with your explanation." Melvin repeated, fixing his uncle with a serious stare as he indeed wanted to here how they had suddenly found themselves in such a pickle.
"Well... You see, at the time Mr. Bryce invested, the company’s shares had been doing good. But then everything suddenly crashed. The company didn’t have enough to pay Bryce his full money at that time."
"Your bank statement here shows otherwise," Melvin countered as he looked through the other paper, impressed that Gabriel had gotten his hands on Rodrigo’s bank statement.
When he was done, he stared at his uncle once again. "So, tell me why Mr. Bryce wasn’t paid his full money?"
Rodrigo became speechless at this point and began fumbling on his words, saying things that no longer made sense.
Melvin, having heard enough, sighed while massaging his temple. With his other free hand, he dismissed Rodrigo.
"Just go." Rodrigo looked like he was just about ready to burst from embarrassment and anger, but tried his very best to keep himself in check. "Oh and Uncle," Melvin’s voice stopped him before she could exit the office. "Be sure to knock when next you want to enter my office."
With a forced smile, the older man nodded his head. “Certainly.”
With that, he was gone. Now alone with his assistant, Melvin sighed heavily as he once again looked at the figures printed out.
Then he instructed. “Try and see if it’d be possible for you to set up a meeting with Mr. Bryce and his lawyer.”
Kennedy nodded. “Certainly, then excuse me sir.” A bow followed his words and soon, he was gone.
On his own, Melvin sighed and leaned back in his couch, letting his hand cover his eyes as he thought.
In a situation like this, what would Leonica do?
She’d probably solve this more elegantly and classy. That was her way of dealing with things. And Melvin admired that.
But now was not the time for admiring. He needed to save this company and prove to his mother that he’s just as capable as Leonica when it comes to running the company. freewebnoveℓ.com
Meanwhile, Rodrigo sauntered down the Hall angrily.
How dare Melvin treat him like he was above? Had he forgotten who saved and treated him we’ll all those years ago?
All the good he had done, was this how he was getting repaid?
The thought of matters down that path infuriated Rodrigo so much that he sudden wanted revenge. Except this time around he wasn’t planning just having Ownership of Romero Empire, he also wanted enough cash to wipe in Melvin’s face while his family faces decline after the company is snatched away from them right understand their noses.
And he knew just how to do that.
Stepping into the elevator where his privacy is guaranteed one hundred percent, Rodrigo pulled out his phone and went to his most recent call log.
There, he spotted the number of Tyche Smith and as he phoned her, listening to her line ring on before being answered, he couldn’t help but smile at the prospect of his the entire Romero Empire at his foot.
“Hello?” The phone was finally answered at last and Rodrigo felt like he had already scaled one huge wall.
With a huge grin on his lips, he spoke. “Hello, Mrs. Smith, I apologize for calling abruptly, but I just wanted to find out, does you offer still stand?”
“Absolutely,” Came Tyche’s response and a shitty grin took over his face.
“Perfect, but we’ll have to make a few touches to everything.”
“Like?”
“I still want power in the company. Rather than throwing it all away, I want the sum of 2.5 Billion dollars and have a spot in the company. If that’s fine by you, then let’s move on with that deal. Are you still interested?”
