Chapter 547

“Mr. Bennett, there are a dozen people downstairs.

“They are all representatives of our suppliers. They’re asking for payment.”

The female secretary reported in a panic as she spoke.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Shane sneered when he heard that.

It seemed Sean had started!

However, the same tactic again?

He did the same thing last time. How could a cunning old fox like Shane not be prepared for this?

“We haven’t reached their payment deadline. What’s the hurry?

“I had someone tamper with the payment terms when we signed the contract.

“The payment won’t be due until at least a month later.

“So there’s nothing to worry about.”

Shane sneered and leaned back in his office chair as he waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Mr. Bennett, but the payment date on the contract is due…”

The secretary shook her head slightly and said as she looked at Shane.

“What?”

Shane froze instantly.

“That’s impossible! I instructed Mr. Winston, who is in charge of signing the contract.

“Did he fail at his job?”

Shane’s eyes widened with a sense of foreboding.

“Mr. Bennett, Mr. Winston didn’t do what you instructed…

“I think his resignation the other day has something to do with this.”

The female secretary sighed and presented Shane with a contract.

Shane picked it up and looked before he flung it to the ground hard.

“Sean!

“Sean must have bribed Mr. Winston. He sold me out!

“Sean has already planted someone beside me!”

Shane’s eyes widened. He thought what happened last time was over.

Now, he learned that Sean had planted a time bomb for him!

No wonder Sean did not do anything last night. He was only waiting for today!

“Mr. Bennett, they’re all waiting for payment. What shall we do?”

The female secretary sighed gently before asking somewhat nervously.

“Hmph! Don’t panic! I’ve prepared something else.”

Shane pondered for two seconds and was about to speak after snorting coldly.

Just then, the landline on the desk rang.

“Hello? Who is this?”

Shane hesitated a little before answering it.

“Could the Bennett family withstand this?”

There was a calm voice on the other end of the line.

The calmness was mixed with a hint of playfulness.

Shane immediately recognized it as Sean’s voice.

“Sean Lennon! You want me to beg, don’t you?

“I’m telling you, your old ways won’t work on the Bennett family!”

Shane gritted his teeth slightly spoke fiercely.

“It doesn’t matter.

“I’ve prepared a lot of presents for the Bennett family too.

“If you can accept them, carry on.”

Sean smiled and hung up.

Bang!

Shane slammed the handset onto the base, his eyes cold..

“Dad, was it Sean?

“Did Sean really do this? Why don’t we go beg him?”

Jay was so cocky before, but he chickened out now that Sean had made his move.

“Hmph! Is there any use in begging him now?

“The Bennett family have put up with him enough. Does he really think I, Shane Bennet, have spent all

these years for nothing?

“I’ll accept that cripple’s challenge!

“With our assets of tens of millions of dollars, I don’t believe the Bennett family can’t defeat at loser who

has been catatonic for two years!”

Shane lit a cigarette and looked at the female secretary.

“Don’t worry.

“We can pay them.

“Go to Mr. Langdon. I have just taken out a huge loan from River City Bank a while avoid a capital

chain rupture like last time.

ago to

“Ask Mr. Langdon to allocate the funds to get rid of these people. I’ll see how Sean’s old approach is

going to work.”

Shane immediately waved his hand and said with a face full of confidence.

“Yes!”

The female secretary replied and left the office.

Bang!

Just then, the office door was flung open again.

A girl with glasses rushed inside in a panic.

“Mr. Bennett, we’re in trouble! We’re in trouble!

“Our company account has just been hacked.

“Our company’s existing funds have been transferred to an offshore account. It has disappeared

without a trace…

“We’re broke now!”

The girl with glasses looked flustered. She had never experienced anything like this.

No matter how skilled those hackers were, there was no way they could transfer their funds that easily.

Therefore, they must have had a mole.

“Hsss! Mr. Langdon. Where is Mr. Langdon?”

The confidence in Shane’s face vanished instantly as he got up and yelled.

“He didn’t show up for work today.”

Shane’s eyes popped open as soon as the girl with glasses said that.

Then he slowly sat down on his office chair.

Did Sean not do anything last night just to make arrangements and strike the Bennett family today?

“Call the police! Catch Mr. Langdon!

“Hurry!”

Shane yelled at the female secretary.

“Mr. Bennett, even if we replace Mr. Langdon, we have no solid proof!

“Even if there’s proof, the money won’t come back anytime soon. There are so many people downstairs

waiting for payment.

“What we need most is money right now!”

The female secretary shook her head as she spoke anxiously.

Ring ring ring!

The landline on the desk rang again.
