The Mitxel family had transferred all its cash flow to Sheldon's Intercontinental Group.
Therefore, he had to get their money back for now.
Naturally, Jared had to put his plan to fight Linton Group on hold. I must save my own family first!
With that in mind, Jared called Sheldon.
At that moment, Sheldon was flirting with his newly recruited secretary, Jocelyn.
Sheldon was an expert in judging a person's character. Jocelyn was innocent and sweet, and he managed to charm
her rather easily.
In fact, he had even gotten his way with her the night before.
While he was having a good time with Jocelyn, his accountant suddenly rushed in and said, “Mr. Guerrero, I have
bad news! Something terrible has happened!”
“What is it? Why are you being such a drama queen?” Sheldon questioned grumpily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Intercontinental Group had cash now, everything was supposed to go smoothly. Hence, he wasn't expecting
anything bad to happen.
“T-The International Chamber of Commerce has frozen all our cash! We can't use any of it now!” the accountant
answered.
Sheldon jumped out of his chair and demanded, “What? Are you f*cking joking with me?”
While gasping for air, the accountant answered, “How would I dare to joke with you? I've even brought my laptop
along to show it to you.”
The accountant gave his laptop to Sheldon.
Indeed, the screen showed that all the company's assets had been frozen.
F*ck! Veins were popping on Sheldon's forehead. “That's three hundred billion right there! Why did they freeze it?
Call the International Chamber of Commerce now and ask them why they froze our assets!”
“I've already called the International Chamber of Commerce. They said we've been making huge transactions
frequently lately, and they're suspecting us of money laundering. They'll keep our accounts frozen until they're
done investigating the matter.”
What the f*ck? Sheldon was infuriated. “Those transactions were all legal investments! Why are they suspecting us
of money laundering? The International Chamber of Commerce is definitely plotting against us! Sh*t! This must be
Zeke's doing. No. I must tell Mr. Jared about this now.”
Before he could ring Jared, Jared was already calling him on the phone.
Sheldon quickly answered it and said, “Mr. Jared, something bad has happened—”
Jared interrupted his speech and said, “Listen to me first. Transfer all the money back to me right this instant. I
need it urgently.”
“Mr. Jared, please listen. Something has happened—”
At that, Jared fumed, “Didn't you hear me? I told you to transfer the money back to me! We'll deal with other
matters after this!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Jared, I won't be able to do that because something bad has happened to the money!” Sheldon cried.
“What?” Jared yelled in shock. “What happened? Tell me!”
That amount of money was the Mitxel family's last hope. If Jared couldn't get the money, the Mitxel family was
utterly doomed.
“The International Chamber of Commerce has frozen the money. They're suspecting us of money laundering,”
Sheldon answered.
Jared exploded with rage, “Bullsh*t! That money was meant to be an investment in your company! Before I
transferred it to you, the International Chamber of Commerce had already reviewed and authorized it! Otherwise,
how could it have ended up in your account? Now, you're telling me that the International Chamber of Commerce
has frozen it because they're suspecting us of money laundering? Do you take me for a fool? You just want to keep
the money, don't you? Are you planning to not pay me back? Sheldon, you have some guts! Are you not afraid I'll
go after your family?”
Sheldon was close to bursting into tears. “Mr. Jared, I'm telling the truth! The International Chamber of Commerce
has frozen our account. If you don't believe me, you can call them and ask.”
