Chapter 50 Asking for Forgiveness


    The Ford family''s nightmare was still ongoing. The debt of 35 million dors weighed down on


    everyone, making it difficult to breathe.


    William, Caroline, Reba, Samuel, and Maria tried every means they had to find the money, but were


    rejected by everyone they approached.


    Thepany''s money was deposited in the bank. When they wanted to withdraw it, the bank would


    not approve the transaction. The bank suspected that the ount of the Ford family subsidiary


    This was aplicated process that couldn''t bepleted within a week.


    Otherpanies also refused to help. It was as if the Ford family was persona non grata.


    In the end, when they tried to apply for a loan, the bank rejected them with the reason that they did not


    have enough credibility.


    They seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world. No one helped them, and they were


    ostracized be any that they approached. The week''s deadline was almost up, and there was still a long


    way to go before they could raise 35 million dors.


    In addition, Frank Perry''s men came to teach the Ford family a lesson at random times. Although they


    didn''t kill anyone, they instilled terror in them all every time they showed up.


    They either sent people to scare the Fords, or threw rocks at the house in the middle of the night. They


    wrote words with blood on the walls of their home. After a few days, the family were at their wits end.


    Finally, someone realized that someone was making trouble for the Ford family on purpose. But who


    could it be?


    No one could guess.


    There was still a day left before the end of the week.


    The entire Ford family was gloomy. Everyone had dark circles under their eyes and were dispirited.


    They were already very tired. During the day, they were busy raising money. At night, they would be


    harassed by those hooligans sent by the Perry’s. They couldn''t even sleep well. This had been going


    on for several days.


    "I can''t take it anymore!" Caroline suddenly screamed in despair.


    She looked much more haggard after the past few days. She didn''t even dare to apply powder because


    it would only make her look more like a female ghost.


    Her face was pale and her eyes were bulging. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was messy. When


    Caroline looked at herself in the mirror; she doubted if the person in the mirror was actually her.


    The others were not much better off. Samuel would find clumps of hair falling from his head at night. If


    this continued, he would soon be bald.


    "I''ll call Leo now. Why should we take responsibility for what he’s done? I''m so angry."


    Caroline trembled with anger and took out her phone to dial a number.


    Soon, the phone was connected, and a calm voice could be heard, "Hello."


    "Leo, where are the three things that you promised? Have youpleted any of them?" Caroline got


    straight to the point with him.


    The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and said, "There''s still one day left before


    the deadline. Why are you in such a hurry?"


    "So, you know that you only have one day left? Thanks to you, the Ford family is done for, it''s all over!"


    Caroline vented her anger as she screamed hysterically. Her entire face was filled with resentment.


    "Leo,e back right now and apologize to the O''Brien family. Now! Now!"


    Leo''s tone was still calm as he said, "Sorry, it''s not the right time yet. Forgive me for not being able to


    do that. I wille to the Fords to settle everything tomorrow."


    Then, he hung up the phone.


    "What did he say?" Reba asked with a cold expression.


    "He said that he woulde tomorrow when the deadline was up."


    Caroline''s tone was indescribably cold. "We''ll all be dead by the time that happens."


    "Caroline, if there''s no other way, we can mortgage thepany. As for Leo..."


    Reba''s expression suddenly became vicious. "He has to go to jail. We will lose thepany, but he


    has to pay as well!"


    The other members of the Ford family also looked furious. Everyone held Leo responsible for this.


    "It would appear that they''ve been forced into a corner." Leo said lightly as he sat leisurely on the sofa


    in Valendale Vi.


    "That''s right," Nadine said, her face expressionless as ever.


    In her opinion, the Ford family were extremely stupid. They were desperately looking for a backer, but


    they didn''t know that their biggest backer was right next to them all along, and they had tossed him out.


    Leo smiled faintly and asked, "What''s the reaction of the O’Brien’s and Frank Perry?"


    "They wille on time at nine in the morning tomorrow to apologize."


    "Very good. Come with me to the house tomorrow at eight then." A faint smile appeared on the corner


    of Leo''s mouth.


    The next morning, the two of them returned to the Ford family together.


    The Fords had been waiting for a long time.


    Caroline closed the door right after Leo and Nadine entered as if she was afraid that Leo would run


    away.


    "Leo, the week''s deadline is up. What about what you promised us?" Caroline demanded coldly.


    They would fight to the death. The Ford family''spany might be done for, but even if they were


    going to hell, they were going to drag someone down with them. They would definitely send Leo to jail


    today!


    However, Leo responded calmly, "It''s done."


    "Is that so?"


    The cold smile on Caroline''s face deepened, "Then, what about the O’Brien’s and Frank Perry?"


    "Soon. They wille in half an hour."


    "Go on, go on pretending."


    Caroline said coldly, "I don''t think you did anything this week, did you?"


    "How do you know that I didn''t do anything?" Leo frowned.


    Caroline was now certain that Leo still did not know what happened to the Fords this week. She


    sneered even more.

    "Well, let me tell you what happened in the past few days. Thanks to you, the court has sent a


    document asking us topensate the O''Brien family with 35 million dors within one week. If we


    don''t pay them the sum, they will forcibly transfer away ourpany and properties. We won''t even


    have a ce to live anymore after this!"


    "And the Perry thugs smashed everything of value in this house. They scratched the cars and even


    wrote bloody threats on the walls."


    Leo was not surprised by this, and he said tly, "This is karma. You must pay the price for doing bad


    things. Whether you believe it or not, the O’Brien’s and Perry’s will apologize for what they have done


    over the past few days."


    "Leo, are you still trying to fool us at this time?"


    Reba was so angry that sheughed. She pointed to Leo and said, "The O''Brien family and the


    Perry family wille today. But they won''t be here to apologize but wille to get us to pay! This is


    all thanks to you!"


    "Leo, when the people from the courteter, you can go with them."


    Nadine, who was standing behind Leo looked indifferent. Meanwhile, Leo said calmly, "I told you, it''s


    only 8:30 now. There''s still half an hour left before nine. Can''t you wait for that long?"


    "Okay, everyone, let''s wait for another half an hour!"


    Samuel''s face was full of disdain. He looked at Leo hatefully and said, "If the O''Brien family and the


    Perry family don''te or ife but do not apologize, you not only have to leave the Ford family, but


    you also have to go to jail!"


    "No problem." Leo nodded. He moved a chair over and sat down as if nothing had happened.


    When Caroline, Reba, and the others saw how Leo was behaving, they were furious. However,


    when they thought of how he would go to prison in half an hour, they sneered.


    William''s face was filled with worry. He didn''t know where Leo got the confidence from. Yesterday, the


    O''Brien family and the Perry family hade to make trouble. Why would they apologize today?


    Time passed, but no one had arrived yet.


    Caroline stood up and shouted coldly, "Leo, don''t make a fool of yourself. There''s only one minute left.


    It''s almost nine o''clock. What else do you want to say..."


    Before Caroline could finish her sentence, a few cars pulled in outside.


    A row of Mercedes-Benzes and a row of Audis were parked on both sides in the Ford family''s


    courtyard.


    Two groups of people got out of the cars.


    The members of the Ford family were so terrified that they turned white as sheets. The O''Brien and


    Perry families were really here!


    Moreover, they all looked so grave and stern. They had brought arge group of people with them. It


    was clear that they bore malicious intentions...


    Neil and Frank stood at the front of the group, ring at the Fords. In the end, their eyes stopped on


    William.


    With a plop, Reba pulled Caroline down with her and they knelt in front of Neil and Frank. They


    were so petrified that they both burst into tears.


    "Mr. O''Brien, Mr. Perry, he is the culprit behind everything. This has nothing to do with the Ford family.


    Please, let go of us!


    Caroline was so frightened that she did not even dare to breathe loudly. The entire O''Brien and Perry


    family were here today. They saw not only Dwayne O''Brien but also Frank''s girl, Nicole.


    However, Neil and Frank merely nced at Caroline and Reba coldly before ignoring them


    They walked up to William before turning to look at the people they had brought and nodded lightly.


    Swoosh!


    In the next instant, everyone turned towards William and said in booming voices, "We are sorry, Mr.


    Ford!"
