Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 75 The Graham Family is About to Suffer a Calamity

Sydney pondered for a few seconds. "Alright. You go and negotiate with the presidents of these banks again. See if you can change their minds. Along the way, try to find out whether it's Brandon Madden behind this whole thing."

"Okay," Sophie answered and then thought of something. "Should I tell President Chase about this?"

"No." Sydney shook her head. "Luke has to look after his own company recently. I don't want to trouble him."

"Understood."

Shortly after Sophie left, Sharon came in from the finance department.

"President Raines, what the hell is going on? I just received calls from several banks asking us to pay off the loan right away. It hasn't been long since we took the loan, and it's not time to pay it back yet. Why are they making us pay it back now?" Sharon walked up to Sydney's desk and asked.

Sydney pinched the bridge of her nose. "Can't you tell? We're being targeted."

"By who?" Sharon slammed her hands on the desk.

A cold glint flashed in Sydney's eyes. "The only suspect now is Brandon Madden, but there's no evidence yet."

"Finding evidence isn't important. The most urgent task now is to solve the current financial problems. The main funds supporting Skylight's operations come from those loans. If we pay back the loans, Skylight will immediately go bankrupt," Sharon said in frustration.

Sydney pursed her red lips.

She knew the seriousness of the matter.

"President Raines." There was another knock on the door.

Sydney looked over.

Sophie stood at the door, shaking her head with regret. "I’ve negotiated with the presidents of the banks, but the banks that haven't lent us anything said they won't lend us anything, and the few that have already lent us money are determined to make us pay back the loan immediately. What should we do, President Raines?"

Sydney clenched her fists and asked instead, "Did they say whether it was Brandon who told them to do so?"

"No. I asked them, but they were very vague. It seemed as if they were afraid of something," Sophie answered.

"Banks work under the state. How can they be afraid of the owner of a private enterprise?" Sharon frowned.

Sydney narrowed her eyes. "Unless the person who ordered them isn't Brandon but someone in the government."

"President Raines, when did you offend a government official?" Sharon asked solemnly.

Sydney shook her head blankly. "I don't know."

She had just recently made a deal with the official authorities regarding the land.

However, she had not offended them.

"Forget it. We'll think about that later. President Raines, let's hurry up and solve the matter of funding first," Sharon said.

Sydney closed her eyes somewhat tiredly. "Sophie, contact the presidents of the banks that have already granted us loans and say that I would like to invite them to dinner at Cosmos Hotel." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She could forget about the banks that had not lent them money, but she had to make the banks that had lent them money forget about making them repay the loan now. Otherwise, Skylight would really be doomed.

"Okay." Sophie nodded.

Sydney looked at Sharon. "Bring out the loan contracts from before and come with me."

"Got it." Sharon hummed.

An hour later, the two arrived at Cosmos Hotel.

It was the only seven-star hotel in Port City, and it belonged to Ferguson Corporation.

The most basic meal here could cost an ordinary family's annual income.

Furthermore, Sydney had booked a private room and ordered a lot of high-grade dishes to entertain those bank presidents. Her gestures were very sincere.

The bank presidents enjoyed such top-notch treatment and could not simply remain silent, so they finally revealed that the person who was targeting her had the last name 'Graham'.

"President Raines, there's only one powerful Graham I know, and that's the Graham family of South Lake." Sharon turned to the side and whispered in Sydney's ear.

Sydney clenched the wine glass in her hand, her bright face icy cold. "It's Macy Graham."

She had no conflicts with the Graham family.

The only one she had a minor history with was Macy.

"I'm guessing it's her too, but why would she do that? Is it because of the card game last time?" Sharon tried to make a guess.

Sydney sipped her wine expressionlessly. "Maybe."

"If that's true, she's too petty." Sharon sneered. "Also, Macy has stretched her hand out too far this time. I can't believe that she, an influential person in South

Lake, has meddled in the affairs of Port City! Who gave her the courage? President Raines, I'm going to make a phone call."

"Alright." Sydney nodded and allowed it.

Sharon got up, left the room, found a quiet place outside, and made a call.

"Get to the point!" A gruff voice sounded over the phone.

Sharon rolled her eyes. "Old man, I heard that the Graham family has been too high-sounding these years, so the higher-ups are preparing to let the Bennet family suppress the Graham family. However, they haven't done anything yet because there hasn't been a suitable excuse. Is that true?"

"Why are you asking?" The man looked impatient.

"It seems to be true." Sharon fished out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it, taking a drag comfortably. " I'm here to bring you good news, of course. Old Master Graham's granddaughter, Macy Graham, is in Port City. She's using the power of the Graham family to meddle in Port City's

banking affairs and trying to suppress my boss. What do you think about using this excuse to make a move against the Graham family?"

The man's eyes lit up for a moment. "That is indeed good news. Old Master Graham can't meddle in the political affairs of other places before he retires. That granddaughter of his is pretty amazing to dare break this taboo."

"Exactly. Thanks to her stupidity, we finally got a hold of the Graham family." Sharon exhaled a mouthful of smoke and mocked.

Macy offended her during the card game incident, and she used the Graham family's information to cause little obstacles for them.

This time, Macy had a death wish. She had basically ruined the entire Graham family.

Sharon could not help but laugh at that thought.

The man frowned. "What are you laughing at, you little brat? How's your progress searching for the Young Master?"

Sharon put her smile away and raised her voice." What do you think? You said that the Young Master was living in Rivervale, but there were no clues about him when I went there. How am I supposed to find him?"

The man choked for a moment. "Fine, fine. Stop shouting. In any case, you have to hurry up and find the Young Master. The old man won't last long."

"I know," Sharon answered somewhat reluctantly.

After the call ended, she put out the cigarette in her mouth and walked back to the room.

Just as she reached the door, she saw the bank presidents coming out from inside.

Sydney followed behind them, seeing them off with a

smile.

However, Sharon could see very clearly that her smile was forced, and there was a hint of sadness to it.

"President Raines." Sharon only opened her mouth after the bank leaders had left. "How did the talk go?"

Sydney turned around, went back into the room, and sat down. "Not good. They're still not willing to relent. I tried my best and managed to get three days. They want Skylight to pay back the loan within three days."

"Three days..." The corner of Sharon's lips curled up into a grin. "That's enough!"

"What do you mean?" Sydney looked at her in confusion.

Sharon smiled. "Don't worry, President Raines. I guarantee that after three days, those banks won't demand that you pay them back immediately anymore, and those banks that didn't lend us money will change their minds and give us a loan. That's because the Graham family is about to suffer a calamity."

Sydney realized something when she saw Sharon's confident expression. "Did you do something?"

Sharon smiled and said nothing.

Sydney was sure that Sharon's identity was not simple.

The phone call that Sharon went out to make earlier was probably the key.

At that thought, Sydney stood up and gave Sharon a bow.

Sharon was so startled that she stood up. "What are you doing, President Raines?"
