Chapter: 109
“The new company just opened shop and is currently doing well. And with the Harmon family’s backing. everything is in order. However, the Jackson Group managed to get itself into some hot water the past two days, I’m afraid.” Lyra explained.
“What kind of hot water?” she asked, feeling a little uneasy.
“We had a hard time recouping our funds as several partners have not paid back their share of the money yet, so the company was unable to break even. It’s a good thing that you still have that reserve fund of 80 million dollars, just enough to save the company.” Lyra chuckled.
“Reserve funds?” she repeated while her expression twisted into a frown.
“I’m afraid that the money is gone,” she admitted.
“Gone? What do you mean gone?” Lyra spluttered.
“I trusted the wrong person. I was fooled by Chris,” she answered honestly, without trying to conceal the truth.
She then gave Lyra a quick rundown of the events that transpired.
Upon reaching the end of her story. Lyra exploded in a fit of rage.
“That bastard Chris is certainly a piece of work! How dare he cheat us of our money when we put all our trust in him! Let’s get him arrested right away!”
“There’s no point. He’s probably fled the country by now,” she mumbled as she let out a soft sigh.
“What should we do now, Ms. Nicholson? The company has no liquidity, so it’ll be hard to run operations normally.”
“I’ll think of something…” she trailed off in reply.
“Oh right, don’t we still have the Harmons? Since we’re their partner, the Harmons can definitely help us if only you give them a call,” Lyra suggested hurriedly.
“The Harmons?” she asked with wrinkled brows.
She would’ve thought of doing that had she not learned about Natasha before this, but it was impossible to ask her for help now.
Dahlia had her pride as a woman too, so she absolutely refused to bow down to Natasha Harmon!
“I’ll take care of this, so you go busy yourself with other matters now,” she directed. After exchanging a few more words with her secretary, she hung up the phone.
“What’s this about the company being in hot water?” Dustin looked up and asked.
“Drive me to Eastern River Bank. I have something to do there,” she ordered without giving him an explanation.
“Your wish is my my command,” he said with a nod before finishing his soup in one gulp.
He then drove the both of them in his car to Eastern River Bank.
Upon her arrival at the bank, Dahlia was quickly ushered into a private office.
As for Dustin, he was instructed to wait outside.
“Oh? Isn’t this Ms. Nicholson from the Jackson Group? What brings you here to my office today?”
