Lord Protector Novel

“Oh? May I know why it’s urgent?” Jacob questioned.

“The loan from Chase Bank is due today. I’m going to need the money to pay it back.”

“Really? Why is it so soon? It’s only been five days.”

“Beats me. How come you didn’t know the allotted time of the loan is five days?”

Jacob was a bit angry now. “You’re being a bit unfair now, Mr. Williams. You’re the one who signed the contract. So how could I know?”

“Never mind. Let’s stop the chit-chatting, just transfer the money to me now.”

Jacob sighed. “All this while you’ve been having fun and never paid attention to the company, Mr. Williams.”

“The company’s account only has five hundred now. If you’re in a hurry, I can lend you one thousand from my personal account.”

Zeke frowned. “Where did the two billion go?”

“They’re all used to repay the suppliers and distributers,” said Jacob.

“Didn’t we only owe them a billion? Have you spent the remaining billion?”

“Oh, not only did we have to pay the debts, but we also had to compensate for the breach of contract. Hence, all two billion was used.”

Zeke inhaled deeply. “Great! Just great!”

“Mr. Williams, does this mean that you can’t get me the money?” Caleb asked cynically.

“That won’t do. You’re making things difficult on my end. What if Chase Bank blames it on me? I can’t bear that huge of a responsibility.”

Upon hearing Caleb voice, Jacob hurriedly said, “Caleb, you’re there? What a coincidence. You see, I have a good relationship with Mr. Williams. Can you allow him a few days of grace period for my sake?”

“Hmm. I wish I could. But I’m only an employee of Chase Bank. Even if I want to give you a few days of grace, the bank surely won’t agree to it.”

“Instead of thinking about this, both of you should think about ways to get me the money.”

“Caleb, can’t you do it even for my sake?” Jacob’s voice turned cold.

“Even siblings separate matters between business and family, let alone cousins.” Caleb replied.

“Fine. I really didn’t deem you as a self-centered person and not making any allowances for your relative’s needs. I’m telling you; I will not stand by and do nothing.”

“Mr. Williams, why don’t you transfer this debt to me. I refuse to believe that he’d be this merciless to his cousin.”

Zeke felt like laughing to death.

If these two collaborated on stage, their performance would be wonderful.

“No problem. I shall transfer this debt to you then,” he frankly agreed. “Caleb, go settle this debt with that cousin of yours.”

“Do you think it’d be that easy?” Caleb asked.

“The loan was made to Reagan Pharmaceutical, and you’re the major shareholder of said company. According to the rules, I have to get the money from you. Unless you give up the position as the major shareholder to him.”
