Supreme Mars

Chapter 48 Doom

In less than a minute, the Ford family had experienced the best of times, and the worst of times.

They had still been immersed in the joy of being able to continue working with Atlas Beauty. In the next

second, Rachel had announced that only William could represent them. Furthermore, with the

exception of William, all other Ford family members had been blacklisted by Atlas Beauty!

What did that mean?

In other words, everyone except William was considered persona non-grata by Atlas Beauty!

Especially Caroline and Rebecca, whose names had been stated explicitly by Rachel. Both of them

were livid.

"What's this? Blacklisted in the industry?"

Rebecca said angrily, "Even if they are a big company, they can't do this to us. No, Caroline, you go

ask them!"

They had hoped to make a lot of money through this, but they were blacklisted in the blink of an eye.

Caroline couldn't understand why her father was the sole exception. She immediately dialed a number.

Soon, the call was connected and Rachel's cold voice came through. "Is there anything else?"

Suppressing her anger, Caroline asked, "Miss Ward, what do you mean? What do you mean by saying

that we will be blacklisted forever? I don't recall ever offending Atlas Beauty."

However, Rachel sneered. "This is what the higher-ups want. If you want clarification, go ask Miss

Henderson."

Her arrogant tone made Caroline feel like she had been insulted, but she did not dare to flare up. She

argued, "I want to see Miss Henderson."

"Sorry, you’re not qualified to see her yet."

Rachel said righteously, "She is busy every day, and her schedule is packed. How will she have time to

deal with your business?"

"You..." Caroline was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

"Miss Ford, Atlas Beauty has shown extreme forbearance to your company. If you are still so

insensible, don't blame us for what we will do next!"

Rachel's voice suddenly turned cold. "God is watching your every move. If you commit too many sins,

you will get your just desserts."

These words caused Caroline's expression to change slightly. What slight did the Ford family commit?

Normally, Rachel would not say such things. But this time, Ms. Henderson seemed to be really angry.

She had given Rachel power, which was why she had rebuked the Ford family like that.

"Miss Ward, can you please ask Miss Henderson to reconsider?"

Caroline's lips twisted bitterly as she begged, "This cooperation is truly important to us."

"Think about whether you have offended anyone recently before you come back and talk to me."

Rachel said coldly and hung up the phone.

After Caroline repeated what Rachel had said, everyone in the Ford family sank into silence as they

tried their best to recall if they had offended anyone recently.

However, they couldn't think of who they have offended recently.

"Could it be that trash..."

Caroline muttered to herself. However, she tossed that thought to the back of her mind. He didn't have

that much power.

Since they couldn't figure it out, they simply stopped thinking about it. At this moment, the atmosphere

in the living room was indescribably strange. Everyone looked at William with mixed emotions. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Some were skeptical, some were jealous, and even more were anxious.

Caroline and Rebecca's expression returned to normal.

Actually, this might be a fatal blow to the other families, but for Caroline and her family, it was not a

huge loss.

Regardless, Atlas Beauty still hadn't terminated her contract with the Ford family. This was the best

news.

Even though William had become the representative and Caroline and Rebecca were both blacklisted

by Atlas Beauty, William was still her father. If he did well, they would still be able to earn money.

"William, we usually treat you well, don't we? We always send you nice things."

Samuel looked at William and said stiffly, "My family should have a share of the profits."

"And us. I am your younger sister. You can't leave us to die, can you?"

Rebecca's younger sister, Patricia, also said sourly.

"You can't leave our family out..."

All the members of the Ford family started talking over each other They had not even earned money

yet and they had already started to divide the profits.

Rebecca and Caroline looked as if they had sucked on a lemon. They looked at Samuel, Patricia, and

the others with disdain. This was their family's money; how could they give it away?

William sighed and said helplessly, "If the deal with Atlas Beauty works out, I will transfer the money

into the family’s shared fund. You will get it according to the shares each family holds."

The expressions of the various families eased up slightly when they heard this. Caroline and Rebecca's

hearts settled as well.

In terms of shares, their family would still get the biggest portion of the money. However, when they

thought of how they still had to share the money, it came with a bittersweet feeling.

At this time, a tall strange man in a suit came in. After looking around the crowd, he asked, "Is this the

Ford family?"

William stood up. He looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Clinton Munoz, a lawyer hired by Cleo Entertainment."

The man placed a document on the coffee table and said indifferently, "This is a document from the

court. Due to the immeasurable damage caused by the Ford family to Mr. Neil O'Brien, as well as the

bodily harm and psychological damage you have caused to him, you have to pay a total of 35 million

dollars as compensation."

"You are being given a week to repay this debt. Otherwise, the court will take forceful measures. We

will take the Ford family's company and transfer it to Mr. Neil O'Brien directly. After that, you will still

have to pay the rest of the debt minus the worth of your company."

The Fords were dumbfounded. They froze on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning.

35 million dollars? And they had to pay it within a week? How was that possible?

"Mr. Munoz, are you mistaken?"

Caroline asked with a pale face. She was so scared that her voice was trembling. "It was Leo who

wrecked Mr. O'Brien's office. It had nothing to do with us!"

"That's true, but Mr. Cohen is a member of your family. That is an indisputable fact."

Clinton continued unmoved, "He doesn't have the financial ability to compensate the 35 million dollars,

so you'll all have to pay him back."

The lawyer's words made Caroline's face suddenly turn pale. 35 million dollars was almost equivalent

to two or three years' worth of income from the subsidiary company of the Ford family. How could they

afford it?

Rebecca was like a cat on a hot brick, "We've already broken off all relations with that man, he's not

even a member of our family!"

A cold light flashed in Clinton's eyes, and he asked emotionlessly, "Do you think you can break off the

relationship just because you said so?"

After a pause, Clinton gave an ultimatum. "If you still can't pay off the debt in a week, you can either

use your property ownership certificate, car ownership certificate, and the company under your name to

pay off the debt, or you can just go to jail!"

After saying that, he swaggered off, leaving all the members of the Ford family sitting on the sofa

dejectedly.

"It's over, it's all over..."
