A Replacement Bride

Chapter 342

Melise quickly got up to support her husband and she frowned in confusion. "Darling, you have barely recovered. Don't get so overwhelmed. What happened?"

Mason held himself up against the table, his gaze distant as he muttered, "Oh, we are in so much trouble now…"

He no longer had the mood for breakfast and rushed straight to the office, summoning his assistant after he arrived. "Which projects were affected?"

His assistant hesitated before telling him. Mason got so angry that he slammed his hand against the table. "B*stard! Is he not going to stop until he makes us lose everything?"

As it turned out, William had been responsible for nearly all those projects. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that he had once again siphoned money from them, which led to this mess.

"Where's the general manager? Why isn't he here when we are in such a great mess?"

His assistant licked his lips and answered haltingly, "I already called him, but I couldn't get ahold of—"

"Couldn't get ahold of him?" Mason's fury flared up once more. "Keep calling until he picks up!"

"Yes, Mr. Mason!" His assistant did not dare argue and turned away to do just that.

In the end, Mason was left alone in his office. He was so enraged he nearly hit his computer, but he remembered that he had many other things to do besides dealing with the investigators. As such, he forced himself to stay calm as he tried to come up with solutions.

However, after making a round of calls, he didn't expect that no one was willing to help him. All his close partners in the past were now distancing themselves from him. Even the other three noble families were ignoring him. He was so panicked that he could only try to contact the higher-ups, but all the friends he had clinked glasses with at banquets refused to lend him a hand.

"You already made a gross and humiliating mistake during the project with Matix. Now that there's something like this, the government won't tolerate it anymore! You'd best think of something else!"
