Chapter 2513 Play Rogue
Larry Yeager had exhausted all means. At this moment, he could only make use of the public opinion to
force Eric to compromise. That was why he went all out today.
Eric was disgusted by this.
Eric’s face became gloomy and cold.
However, he did not hesitate and strode right into the office.
Mitchell had instructed the bodyguards to wait for Eric at the entrance.
As soon as Eric came, the bodyguards automatically split into two teams and flanked Eric’s side.
All of them went into the president’s exclusive elevator.
However, Larry did not let him go so easily.
They were waiting for Eric to show up.
"Mr. Ferguson is here! Mr. Ferguson is here..."
"Mr. Ferguson, please have mercy on me. I don't know how I offended you in the past. Why did you use
such a ruthless method to lock up our funds with that project? We're diligent taxpayers and have
contributed to the city. You can't do that to us...”
Larry should not be discharged from the hospital as he was still lying on a stretcher. He was shouting at
the top of his lungs and did not care about his image.
He could not care less about anything and only wished that his pitiful act would succeed. Then, he
could use public opinion to force Eric to take over that project. That way, his goal would be achieved.
Then, Yeager Corporation could be revived.
Larry was panting. He tried to get off the stretcher, but he was too weak. He choked and sounded
pitiful.
"Mr. Ferguson, please help me. I still have hundreds of employees and their families to support!"
For a moment, the media that followed Larry all focused their cameras on Eric.

Corporation?"
"Mr. Ferguson, is this a violation of the fair competition law? What is the industry's perspective of this?"
"Mr. Ferguson, I heard that you were dating Ms. Yeager before. Did you get close to her on purpose so
that you can acquire Yeager Corporation?"
"Mr. Ferguson, I saw that you left the movie premiere with a lady's bag. Is the owner of that bag Ms.
Yeager?" 1
Eric's face was cold, and he swept a glance to those present.
Cindy was not as hysterical as usual. She only knelt pitifully beside Larry and looked at her father with
red eyes.
She looked like a helpless victim.
Cindy used to be a high and mighty career woman, but she turned into a down-and-out rich girl. She
looked really pitiful.
However, this did not move Eric in the slightest.
Eric stared at Cindy for a few seconds and finally let out a light chuckle.
"Who spread such rumors? Why don’t I know about my scandal with Ms. Yeager? Is it right for the
media to report nonsense without any evidence? Do you know that I can hold you legally responsible
for such rumors?"
As soon as Eric opened his mouth, the reporters' excitement instantly quelled.
Eric was cold and oppressive. Who would dare to slander him?
If they reported any fake news, they might lose their career.
However, when they thought about the commission given by the Yeager family, they regained their
confidence slightly.
"Yeager Corporation took over a project at the last minute from you, Mr. Ferguson. Now that there is a
problem with the project, how do you explain this?"
The reporters grasped this point.
Larry begged pitifully from the side.
The bodyguards around Eric were on standby. They ensured that no one would approach Eric.
They were in a stalemate.
Soon, Mitchell came downstairs and hurried over.
"Mr. Ferguson..."
Eric's throat moved calmly, and his gaze was somewhat cold.
"Every business has its risks. I made it very clear before Mr. Yeager signed the contract. If the project
makes money now, will Mr. Yeager rush to trouble me? Mr. Yeager should be begging the bank instead
of me right now."
His voice was deep and cold. He did not care if the reporters would write nonsense.
Larry blushed, raised his hand excitedly, and pointed at Eric.
However, he was physically weak and was too stunned to speak.
Cindy, who was next to her father, could not help but said, "Mr. Ferguson, if you hadn't deliberately set
us up, we wouldn't have taken over that project. You clearly knew that there was a problem with that
project, but you still transferred this risk onto us. Don’t you feel ashamed?"
Eric frowned. He did not want to quarrel with a woman in public.
Mitchell, who was next to Eric, got a chance to speak.
"Ms. Yeager, Mr. Ferguson didn't force you to take that project. You took the initiative to ask for it.
Ferguson Corporation didn't make any profit from it either. Ms. Yeager, don't be a sore loser and
accuse us of setting a trap for you. May I ask what the problems in the project have to do with
Ferguson Corporation?"
Cindy was startled, and her expression changed instantly.
The project in the neighboring city was a bottomless pit that existed several years ago. However, the
flaws were well-hidden locally.

Cindy did not believe that Eric was unaware of it. Ferguson Corporation must have understood the
pitfalls after investing in the project, so Eric got out in time and passed the risk to Yeager Corporation.
However, the money that was lost because of the project had nothing to do with Ferguson
Corporation's accounts.
Otherwise, Cindy would have reported it long ago.
Cindy took a deep breath and looked straight at Eric.
"Mr. Ferguson, didn't Ferguson Corporation realize the risks before you pulled out from the project?"
Eric twitched the corners of his lips.
"Ms. Yeager, I'm not from a risk assessment company, and I don't have time to personally take care of
such a small project. To Ferguson Corporation, losing this sum of money is no big deal. I don't think
Yeager Corporation would be so petty. If you feel that it's our fault, your company can use the proper
channels to get the relevant departments to intervene in the investigation. Don't use such underhanded
methods to play rogue. If fishing for pity is useful, everyone can be fed while lying on a stretcher with
their mouths open. What's the use of working then?"
As soon as he said that, the reporters' eyes flickered. They felt a little guilty.
They took Cindy's money, so they had to follow her orders.
If they exposed Eric's words, Eric might not be condemned. The public might even support him.
That was because there was nothing wrong with what he said, i
Mitchell said on the side, "Mr. Yeager, Ms. Yeager, your presence here has already affected our
company’s operations. If you don't leave within ten minutes, we will call the police. I will also ask our
legal department to send all the media present here a lawyer's letter as I seriously question your
professionalism and ability."
He turned to Eric and said, "Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Ludwig has been waiting for you upstairs for quite some
time."
Eric nodded slightly. Then, he turned around and left without looking at the person in front of him.
