Chapter 1103 - Chapter 1103 Chapter 1103 Being Severely Humiliated
Chapter 1103: Chapter 1103: Being Severely Humiliated! Chapter 1103: Chapter 1103: Being Severely Humiliated! “Enough.” The burly man on the sofa stood up and walked over to Jacob Clark. He stretched out his hand and casually patted Jacob’s cheek, chuckling mockingly, “President Clark is quite a figure, aren’t you? The brothers here are well aware of that. If your company were still running, I would believe your words, President Clark. But now, I’m afraid even the beggars on the streets have more money than you do. Why should I believe you’d repay the debt when you say you will?”
“Millions, not just a few hundred dollars. If President Clark runs away, what are the brothers going to take to cover for you?”
Juliet Jordan, who had been coldly watching Jacob be insulted, suddenly frowned and asked sternly, “Millions? What millions?”
Didn’t he just mortgage the family’s house, cars, and stocks?
At most, they would just take those things away. Why would he owe millions?
Jacob’s face, struck, burned painfully. Accustomed to luxury, his face turned a mix of pale and flushed with extreme anger and shame, and he almost lost control of himself as the muscles on his temples bulged and he clenched his fists.
But seeing the other five tattooed burly men sitting on the sofa motionless, he begrudgingly swallowed his anger!
The same man, expecting a bit of manly assertiveness from Jacob but seeing none, looked at him with even greater mockery. He withdrew his hand and answered Juliet’s question with nonchalance, “Madam President Clark is joking with me, or perhaps President Clark hasn’t informed you? He didn’t just mortgage the house, car, and stocks with us; he also borrowed a substantial amount of money.”
He turned back, glanced at Jacob with a displeased face, and said, “Oh, right, President Clark, I heard you didn’t just borrow money from us. You also borrowed a significant sum from Brother Paul, didn’t you?”
Juliet knew very well who Brother Paul was!
The Clark Family was in the real estate business, which inevitably involved dealings with some shady powers over property issues. This Brother Paul was a well-known loan shark in Linton City.
He specialized in the business of lending money and collecting debts.
With many little brothers at his disposal, his methods of raising funds were endless.
Jacob had collaborated with Brother Paul several times before, leaving his competitors destitute and ruined. There was even an incident she remembered that resulted in a fatality, where a competitor’s boss’s wife was driven to suicide by jumping off a building.
She had never imagined that one day, she would fall from creditor to a debtor herself!
