Chapter 171
“Harry Crestfall?!”
Anthony could not hold back his anger when he picked up the phone the second time. “ Stop calling me! The Crestfalls are doomed no matter what you do! If you call me
again, I don’t mind ending your family right away!”
He then hung up the phone abruptly.
Back in Luna’s office, after Anthony hung up on him, Harry looked dispirited as he collapsed on the chair.
Luna had the same dispirited and pale expression on her face.
It was over.
Now that Anthony had made it clear, the Crestfalls could never make it out alive. The two of them fell into despair.
If the CEO of the company lost all confidence, her employees and subordinates would feel worse.
“I’m resigning right away!”
“The Hendersons are coming for us! New Moon Corporation will be history soon.”
“The death countdown is happening already!”
“Run! At least, you can still save yourself now.”
“I’m not staying here. You guys can be my guest.”
The entire company was in turmoil. No one wanted to work at the Valiant Institute project construction site.
Messing with the richest man in Sumeria robbed the Crestfalls and New Moon Corporation of their status in the city. If the employees of the company continued to stay, they would only be awaiting their doom.
Luna had been troubled by the matter for a while now and still could not come up with a solution. She thought of Halle, so she called her friend out for a drink.
“Halle, come out and have a drink with me,” she said feebly.
Halle noticed the sobbing and morose tone through the phone. She immediately asked, “Luna, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Luna sighed and said, “Anthony Henderson made it clear that he’s coming after New Moon Corporation. When the employees heard the news, they left… The company is empty, and so is the construction site. I don’t know how long I have to drink with you.”
Halle noticed the despair in her tone. She immediately answered, “Of course. I’ll meet
you at the same place. Just come over.”
“Mmm…”
After the call, Halle called Andrius.
“Andrius, Lama said the richest man in Sumeria, Anthony Henderson is going after the Crestfalls and New Moon Corporation. What is going on?”
“It’s not a big deal. Anthony Henderson won’t be hopping around like a rabbit for long,” Andrius said indifferently.
Halle’s worries were relieved after hearing what he said. She knew that Mayor Freely alone was enough to deter the Hendersons.
Meanwhile, at River Helm, after knowing that Anthony was going after the Crestfalls and New Moon Corporation, many companies and families called in to say that they would no longer work with New Moon Corporation.
“Grandfather, don’t worry.” Suletta had a faint smile on her delicate face. “New Moon Corporation is tiny. We don’t need to do it ourselves. One word, and it’s enough to end them. Based on what I know, their employees left the company when they heard we are going after them.”
Anthony chuckled and asked, “What about the Timberlands?”
He did not hear an update on the Timberlands from Suletta’s report.
Suletta was slightly stunned. She said, “They haven’t taken sides yet. I didn’t receive at call from them.”
“Then, I shall call them myself.”
Anthony picked up the phone and called Bruce.
“Bruce, I’m going after the Crestfalls and New Moon Corporation. What is your stance. on this? I want to know.”
Anthony did not expect a strong reaction from Bruce on something this trivial.
“Anthony, what did you say? You are going after the Crestfalls? No. The Timberlands will not stand with you on this,” Bruce rejected Anthony decisively. He warned Anthony, “And, a piece of advice: take back your words. Do not mess with people that you can’t afford to mess with. Don’t push your family into the fire.”
