Jonathan stared at the news in a daze.

After a long while, he raised his head.

The older, the wise. Jonathan's expression did not change. He looked at Alexander and said, "Ask the Lockes what's going on with them now."

After receiving the order, Alexander quickly turned around to walk to the balcony to make a call.

The people in the room, especially Jenifer, Jasmine, and Joshua, looked at each other. They were probably plotting something.

Jeanne was relatively calm. Jonathan was also expressionless.

After a while, Alexander returned to the study and said respectfully to Jonathan, "Dad, something has indeed happened to the Lockes." Jonathan's expression changed slightly.

"When MUK moved in, they didn't think of working with any other companies. They have long gotten independent rights in Harken and were building their own e-commerce platform. As a result, all the investment of the Lockes has been wasted.

Coincidentally, today is the maturity date of the Lockes' loan. The Lockes intend to mortgage the e-commerce companies they acquired to the bank, but the bank won't accept it. At the end of the day, once MUK enters, how can small e-commerce companies have the chance to survive? The Lockes have lost a lot this time," Alexander said with some fear.

Fortunately, they did not impulsively take out funds for the collaboration back then, or they would have suffered too.

"Can the Lockes still delay the bank's loan?" Jonathan asked.

"It's very difficult. Not only did the Lockes face the inability to repay the bank's loan, but their business also has a broken capital chain now. If they still want to get up, they'll have to continue the loan. However, the Lockes' traditional business no longer has prospects for development, and there's no market for the e-commerce companies they invested in. The bank can't continue lending them money without an end. According to what banks usually do, they'll probably recover all of the Lockes' mortgaged assets and auction them off to cut their losses."

Jonathan nodded as if he was clear about this matter.

At the same time, a phone rang in the study.

Alexander took a glance at the caller. He hurriedly said, "It's Damian."
