Chapter 71The next morning, at the Wolfendens…“It seems like yesterday was another peaceful night. I wonder if the Primrose Deck was as peaceful.” Hugh started with the topic of yesterday‘s incident. Sadie was feeling slightly frustrated and grumbled, “It was indeed slightly weird at Primrose Deck. It happens every once in a while and without notice.”“You better not run your mouth off like that. The VIPs at Primrose Deck are people who we cannot afford to offend,” Hugh warned Sadie. “Yes, Grandpa. This is like the ninth time you have reminded me!” replied Sadie. Meanwhile, Kayson was totally calm. As usual, he was quiet.Beatrice took an omelet, put it on his plate, and gently said, “Kayson, do eat more. It‘s good . for you.” “Thanks, Mrs. Wolfenden,” said Kayson.Beatrice smiled at him. There was just a glint in her eyes that hinted that she was thinking more than she was letting out.(imFor the first time, Sadie proactively called out to Kayson after breakfast. “Kayson, can you please hurry up? I have never seen a man as slow as you!” “I‘m coming.” Kayson rushed out of the door while putting on his shoes.Hugh observed the scene and smiled at Beatrice. “Have you noticed that Sadie and Kayson are getting along much better recently?” “Relationships are solidified through mutual experiences. It‘s not surprising that their relationship is improving over time,” replied Beatrice. Hugh laughed heartily. “True. Who knows? It may not be too long before I can have great grandchildren!”Meanwhile, Kayson and Sadie had just reached the office.Upon reaching the office, Kayson started running through project– related issues. At around 10:00 a.m., Easton came rushing back. “Kayson, we have hit some problems!” Kayson took a break from the documents and looked at Easton. “What happened?” Easton approached Kayson and whispered. “About five to six bank presidents just came to our office.”Kayson looked at Easton quizzingly. “Okay. So, there are people who have come. What‘s so problematic about that?”Easton pulled up a chair and sat right beside Kayson. “I heard that they have come to follow up with our debt. Mr. Kace, you might not know it, but it is common for a company in this industry to work up a huge debt!“For instance, the tendering for a plot of land requires a few million, and if it is located at aprime location, that number can easily multiply. The cost can balloon easily if we include the materials, labor, and safety provisions! This kind of funding comes from borrowing money for the purpose of having a cash flow.” Kayson frowned. “What you‘re trying to tell me is that the bank presidents coming
to get us to repay back the loan could greatly affect the operation of our company?” “Of course! Suppose the company doesn‘t have sufficient cash flow. In that case, we will not be able to pay employees their salaries and pay our suppliers and partners for the materials and services rendered,” replied Easton.Kayson had already got a gist of the situation through the conversation. He smiled and patted Easton on his back. “Don‘t worry about it. This is not something for The Tetrad to worry about. Ms. Wolfenden will be able to solve this issue.”Easton looked stunned before he scratched his head and came to a realization. “Oh yeah. After all, there is nothing much The Tetrad can do to help.”Meanwhile, in Sadie‘s office…Chelsea could be heard calling out in a panicky tone. “Mr. Lawson! Please give me a moment to at least inform Ms. Wolfenden of your arrival. Mr. Lawson! You cannot just go in without permission—”The door reverberated due to Miles‘s force when opening the office door. He rushed in with an aggressive stance. Chelsea felt embarrassed at failing to stop him. “Ms. Wolfenden, I‘m so sorry, I…”Chapter 72 “It‘s alright. You may leave
