Chapter 82 Can You Walk with Me?_1
"What’s your backup plan?"
Carson Flores asked directly, "Martin Baker has set a trap for you, and it’s impossible that you didn’t notice it. Since you’ve agreed to his challenge and made a military order, you must have something to rely on in your heart."
Shirley Miller’s gaze was slightly surprised; she realized that although Carson Flores didn’t even qualify to attend board meetings or senior company meetings, he was incredibly knowledgeable about everything happening within the company.
Since their late-night chat, Shirley Miller’s impression of Carson Flores had improved a lot. She was willing to confide in Carson the worries she couldn’t share with anyone else. Even if Carson couldn’t help, having someone listen to her concerns was good enough.
"Yes, but it’s useless now."
Carson Flores frowned: "How so?"
Shirley Miller sighed, "I know Martin Baker’s plan, but I didn’t think he had the influence to make so many banks refuse us a loan. Moreover, the deputy governor of Polgel Commercial Bank is my father’s close brother, and the Miller Group’s debt ratio is not high; it’s a prime candidate for corporate lending..."
By this point, Carson Flores had already guessed the outcome, "So you found out that not only did the banks that promised to lend you money go back on their word, but even your last-resort deputy governor refused you, right?"
Shirley Miller’s expression was distressed: "Yes, I can’t understand it. The Baker Family may have some connections and power, but it can’t possibly reach this extent, to interfere with so many banks’ decisions—even my supportive uncle refused me."
Carson Flores asked, "How did he refuse you? Did he give you any advice?"
