Female Novel
Chapter 2022
In the Claymores’ residence, William pulled over at the gate in his Porsche. He tugged his clothes andentered the living room casually.
He had seen Mary’s photos and could not forget her beauty and temperament.
Even though Dorian had arranged for him to marry Mary because he wanted some benefits to saveClaymore Group from the verge of getting bankrupt, he was still willing to do it. He even convinced hisfather, Roy Calcraft.
After all, it was reasonable to invest some money to marry a beautiful lady.
However, he saw the dejected Dorian and gloomy Shaylene when he entered.
“Mr. Claymore, isn’t Mary back yet?” William frowned, displeased with what he saw.
Dorian planned to explain the situation by letting William know his daughter disobeyed him.
However, Shaylene stood up angrily and clenched her teeth, saying, “Mr. Calcraft, Mary doesn’tdeserve you! We didn’t expect her to be dating someone secretly. She even got pregnant. We were somad when we found out. She even quarreled with her father just before you came. Sigh! We neverexpected this!”
William was taken aback by what he heard.
Then, he showed disgust.
All he wanted was a clean and untouched woman.
“So, does it mean this marriage isn’t happening? Forget it! I’m leaving, Mr. Claymore!” William left theplace in frustration and anger.
Dorian wanted to explain, but he couldn’t say anything.
He had to admit that his wife accusing Mary might be bad, but it could make William give up marryingMary.
In the end, he looked at Shaylene listlessly and asked, “Shay, can your family come up with somemoney, about 100 million? We can sell off all the mines we own abroad. Then, we can keep developingthe business and turn the tables again!”
Shaylene snapped like a cat that had been stepped on its tail. “Dorian, we don’t have any more moneyto spare you. All of us are now in the same boat as you. Didn’t we experience the same loss as you?You should ask your daughter to get the Quirke family in Coast City to help us since she’s dating theirheir. Ask them how much they can give us!”
Dorian was at a loss for words.
He glanced at his wife helplessly as if he were looking at an idiot.
All this while, Shaylene and her two daughters had been bullying Camelia and Mary. Moreover, theyeven abductednovelbin
Camelia to the Northwest. How dare she expect Andrius to help them now?!
They would be lucky if Mary did not seek revenge on them.
Just as Dorian pondered, his phone rang. It was a call from his secretary.
“Mr. Claymore, something bad has happened! Our company’s share price is plummeting like crazy! Doyou know why? The board would like you to attend a meeting immediately!”
Dorian froze.
What he was worried most had happened.
Shaylene was still nagging beside him. Suddenly, Dorian shouted, “Shut up!”
Shaylene was a little dumbstruck and snapped, “Why are you shouting at me? Is it going to solveanything?”
Dorian did not want to talk to her and waste more time. He got up and headed to his company.
However, countless cars drove into their lawn before he could head out.
He looked at them, and all of them were his acquaintances.
One of them was the bank manager of the bank Claymore Group had loaned 500 million from, and theyhad extended the deadline countless times.
The other was the head of a private equity institution. He looked angry as he rushed into the livingroom after getting
out of the car.
Then, the company’s contractors got out of their cars too and glared at Dorian.
“President Claymore, you’ve left us with no choice. You’re wealthy. I’m sure you can settle the paymentof those few million soon, right?”
“Mr. Claymore, our superiors have begun to take action. If the accounts don’t match, I might even needto resign.
Please do me a favor and pay the 500 million bucks…”
“Dorian, Claymore Group is going bankrupt! You must give us an explanation today!”
On this day, the threshold of the Claymores’ residence was barged in by countless people. Shaylenewas terrified. She hid on the second floor and locked the door.
