A Replacement Bride

Chapter 348

As expected, the people sent by Carmine were mobbed as soon as they left the casino. However, the situation didn't turn out as William had expected. Not only did he fail to teach them a lesson, he even had the sh*t beaten out of him.

When Mason learned about this, he nearly fainted in anger. "That good-for-nothing b*stard! He's nowhere to be found when our company is in such a huge crisis. Turns out he's gone gambling again! He should've gotten beaten to death out there!"

Melise immediately spoke for her son, objecting, "What are you talking about? That's our son! How could you wish him dead as his father?"

Mason growled at the top of his voice, "Do you mean I should let him anger me to death instead? It's all your fault for spoiling him rotten! Look at him now; I have to lose face going around begging for help because of the mess he caused! I'm gonna break that b*stard's leg when he comes back!" After that, he slammed the door and left straight for his office.

However, no sooner had he reached his office and sat down in his chair than the bad news arrived. "Bad news! Bad news, Mr. Mason! The results of the investigation have come out, and two-thirds of our company's projects have to come to a complete halt!"

The instant Mason heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief; he nearly overturned his chair as he jumped to his feet. "What?"

His assistant had only learned of the news just now, and he was still catching his breath after rushing here to report on it. "H-Here's the list of the projects," he said while handing over a document.

Mason took the document and flipped through it, upon which his face turned ghastly pale at once. Almost all of the projects included on the list were the backbone of the Moran Corporation!

His assistant looked all anxious, too. "Mr. Moran, our company's phones are now ringing nonstop with phone calls either asking to terminate collaborations or demanding compensation. Well… What should we do now?"

The last vestige of color drained from Mason's face. His lips trembled as he muttered, "What should we do? What else can we do…" Without these collaborations, the Moran Corporation would be left as an empty shell, and the breach-of-contract damages combined would be sufficient to reduce the Morans to poverty!
