Chapter 604
Night of Destiny
âWhat? How could it be? Who bought it?â
âWe donât know yet.â
âHurry up and find out. This is my last chance,â Drake roared angrily.
Drake already had severe insomnia the previous night, but he received another piece of bad news early
the next morning. Because of his immense debts, his company was jointly sued by multiple creditors and
it was about to be declared bankrupt and liquidated. In just a night, the creditors who had given him a
chance in the past became aggressive and took action against him.
Drake called one of his best friends and asked, âDavid, you said before that youâd give me time to raise
funds. Why didnât you keep your word?â
âDrake, I canât do that. I was under pressure too. Did you offend someone?â
âWhatâs wrong? Who forced you to harrass me?â
âIf I donât do this, I wonât be able to survive either. Iâm only telling you this because weâre good friends,
but if youâve offended someone, quickly make amends to them or it will be over for your company.â
After Drake hung up the phone, he
couldnât figure out who he had offended
even after mulling over it for a long time.
At that moment, the sound of police
sirens could be heard from outside
before a housekeeper led six police
officers inside.
âDrake Goodwin, we re suspecting that youâve been involved in several commercial fraud cases. Please
come with us.â
âDrake, whatâs going on? Sir, my husband
is a legitimate businessman. He wouldnât
break the law.â Emma was terrified.
Drake comforted her, âItâs okay. Iâll go. over and find out whatâs going on.â
When he was arrested, he was suddenly ambushed by the media. The issue made
headlines at once and even spread abroad in seconds, covering the headlines of major news outlets
across the world. His photo was featured in the headlines of newspapers around the world as if he were
a criminal. Moreover, the news media in every country vigorously reported about the issue as if they had.
been paid to do so.
In the end, Goodwin Corporation went bankrupt overnight and went into liquidation before it was
eventually acquired by a mysterious force and Drake was in debt for one billion. This issue became a
huge sensation in the country as Goodwin Corporation was a long standing business that was famous
for their furniture before they finally dabbled in the development of various other industries. As a result,
they were considered a successful business. Now, however, they had met a tragic end-the chairman of
the board was arrested, the company went bankrupt, and their reputation and wealth were both ruined.
In the bar, the young man who had single-handedly ruined the Goodwin Family swirled the red wine in
his glass as
if he had let a huge burden off his shoulders and his seductive lips curled into a slight smile as he said,
âIf anything. their daughter is to blame. This is what happens if anyone dares to touch the things that
belong to me.â
âYoung Master Weiss, the news is being reported all over the world. If that girl. sees it, she will definitely
rush back as soon as possible.â
âExcellent. Iâll be waiting for her.â Arthurâs eyes glinted with excitement as if he were hunting his prey. He
was looking forward to seeing how his little prey would struggle to death.
Coincidentally, one of his good friends would be getting married early next month, so he was not in a
hurry and could attend the wedding before leaving the place.
It was at the same moment when he received a phone call and happily answered it. âOkay, letâs meet at
noon.â
Elliot had asked him out for lunch..
In fact, Arthur had heard some good news. He and Richard were right last time
-the child was Elliotâs biological son, which also meant that he was their godson! He pondered over what
he should prepare as a present. Richardâs not gonna have time to come over at this point. Guess Iâll
have to prepare a gift for my godson. But what should I give him? I canât be stingy about this.
Arthur bit his lip, but he couldnât come up with anything even after racking his brain as Elliot already
owned the things. that he could afford, which troubled him. Hence, he could only think about it while he
went to meet Elliot for lunch.
In a private room at a high-end restaurant, Elliot looked at his buddy who was entering. He narrowed his
eyes and asked, âWhy did the Goodwin Corporation end up in your hands?â
Arthur curled his lips into a smile. âOh, youâre quite well-informed! I thought I was being secretive
enough!â
