Chapter 474 Raymond, Only You Can HelpNow "Mr. Walsh, since the contract was signed before I took over, can we consider it void?" Olivia knew that asking this might seem shameless, but the thought of inheriting a debt of two hundred billion upon taking over the Fair family's company was daunting.
She'd already spent billions since the acquisition and hadn't made a penny. After selling off the Fair family's assets to pay off the debt, she'd still be a hundred billion short. The Stone family couldn't afford that.
She had practically spent all the money she could in these past few days. First, there was the painting she'd bought to win over Madam Montague, which ended up embarrassing them both. Then there was the company acquisition, which had cost her a significant amount, even having to compensate the Stone family some.
If the rest of the Stone family were to find out, it would certainly cause an uproar.
The Stone family would lose its peace, and she would face endless ridicule. She had assumed that acquiring the Fair family's company was a victory, but she hadn't anticipated the contract they had signed with T. Rowe Price. Damn it! Her mood becagitated in an instant.

"You said the contract expires next week, right? Then you can cand asknext week." Caterlington laughed on the other end, "I'm just worried that you might forget, Miss Stone. After all, I reminded Selena in the sway last time." After hanging up the phone, Olivia nearly ground her teeth to dust.
How could this be?! No wonder Selena left the company immediately after being driven away by her. She must have known about the Fair family's debt. Being the president had no benefits.
So, she had becthe scapegoat and even saved Selena from this disaster? Olivia nearly choked on her own breath. Madam Montague and Catherine, upon seeing her pale face, asked her what was wrong.
"Who called? What happened?" Olivia found it hard to speak, especially since these two were still expecting her to slap Selena in the face.
But the truth was, she'd saved Selena!! Her eyes reddened instantly, and she felt unable to withstand this blow.
"Grandma, Aunt Catherine, um..." She started crying again and then told them the story in fits and starts.
But Madam Montague, seeing her crying and whimpering, suddenly felt extremely irritated.
"Did you not even check the contracts the Fair family had with others before acquiring the company?" Olivia heard the blin her tone and froze. She couldn't lose Madam Montague's support.
"Grandma, I'll handle this. You should rest tonight." In reality, Olivia was panicking, but the situation was what it was. Staying here would only upset the two of them.
Besides, Selena hadn't arrived yet, and it seemed like a joke for the three of them to just wait here.
Olivia left immediately. As she walked out the door, her body began to tremble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUp to this point, everything still felt like a nightmare.
Just half an hour ago, she felt triumphant. She even had the Eternal Growth Group issue an official m e statement and subtly boasted on social media. But now, she had taken over Selena's debt. She was so angry that she felt like she could spit nails.
If she really had to compensate T. Rowe Price two hundred billion, she would have to sell the Fair family's company now. But once T. Rowe Price released this news, who would be willing to buy? These stocks would all fall into her hands, meaning she would have to compensate more than a hundred billion. Once the gravity of the situation hit her, Olivia turned pale.
She couldn't afford to take on this debt. If she used the Stone family's money the the authority she had built up over the years using Raymond would collapse. All she wanted was to cause trouble for Selena, so how did things spiral out of control so quickly? Olivia panicked and a palpable fear was evident in her eyes. Then she thought of Raymond. The only one who could help her now was Raymond.
As long as Raymond was willing to step in and ask Caterlington to abandon the agreement for his sake, she would be saved.
With a pale face, Olivia called Raymond, who had just returned to his hotel.
Unbuttoning his suit with one hand and holding his phone with the other, he asked, "Olivia, what's up?" "Raymond, I'm at my wit's end. You're the only one who can helpnow." Raymond casually tossed his suit aside, his Adam's apple bobbing, "Tellwhat happened."
