Chapter 20 I'll Slap You in the Face with Blood!
The words fell, and the whole room fell silent! Everyone was dumbfounded, casting an incredulous gaze at Michael. Make Joshua reimburse two million! Give Charlotte over four million in interest from the billion-dollar loan! Make Joshua retaliate with a knife on his arm! Oh my God!
Has this fool gone mad? How dare he make such outrageous demands? Especially Charlotte, she couldn't believe her ears, looking at Michael in horror. This guy has only mentioned making Joshua reimburse two million, never said anything about giving her the interest money, let alone retaliating with a Kitchen knife from Joshua!
The first condition, not too excessive, she believed that her grandpa would agree.
The second condition, a bit excessive, she thought that grandpa should agree.
The third condition, her family didn’t think it was excessive, but for her uncle's family and grandpa, it was too much!
Joshua was grandpa's eldest grandson. How could grandpa agree to let a son-in-law marry into the family and harm his own grandson?
Sure enough, after a short while, she saw her grandpa's eye twitch, his face instantly fell, and his expression became icy to the point where water could be squeezed out!
Seeing this, she anxiously advised, "Michael, retract the second and third conditions."
Originally, with a free interest loan of one hundred million, Michael had contributed greatly. Even if grandpa didn't like him, at least for a long time, he wouldn't force her to divorce Michael.
But with Michael's actions, grandpa's impression of him worsened. Even if Daniel didn't intervene, grandpa couldn't tolerate such a son-in-law.
"These three conditions are my minimum requirements. If you can't meet even these, then forget about the one hundred million loan," Michael said firmly.
If it weren't for Joshua's framing, causing Charlotte and him to endure great injustice, let alone one hundred million, he wouldn't want any credit. He would quietly handle it well.
But Joshua fabricated lies, causing Charlotte to cry and him to bleed. If he could swallow this anger, he wouldn't consider himself a man.
"Who the hell do you think you are! Do you have the qualification to negotiate conditions with my grandpa?" Joshua finally regained his senses and roared angrily at Michael.
"You keep running your mouth, I'll add a few conditions specifically for you," Michael said.
"You've completely pissed me off. If I don't cripple you today, my name is not Joshua. I'll change it to pig!"
With those words, he clenched his fist and angrily charged towards Michael, throwing a punch at his face.
"Michael, be careful!” Charlotte’s heart tightened, and she shouted in alarm.
"Gaga!"
Joshua laughed wickedly, as if he could see Michael's broken nose and him being pressed down on the ground and rubbed against it in the next second.
In this split second.
Suddenly, Michael raised his left hand and caught Joshua's fist, then raised his right hand without a word and slapped it across Joshua's face.
Snap!
The sound resonated like a thunderclap, causing Joshua's head to tilt and a trace of blood to seep out from the corner of his mouth.
Everyone present was stunned!
Did this waste just hit Joshua?
"How dare you hit me?"
Joshua looked at Michael in disbelief.
"I did hit you indeed!"
Michael coldly struck again with a backhand slap.
After receiving two slaps, Joshua was furious and roared, "I will retaliate against you! I fucking will!"
"Then let me punch you in the face first."
Michael, in his anger, delivered several more slaps.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
"Help me! Someone help me!!!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Joshua cried out loudly. “Stop it! Stop!!!"
Unable to tolerate the situation any further, Gary Wright shouted sternly.
Only then did Michael stop, and Joshua's face was already swollen like two steamed buns, with blood flowing from his nose, a pitiful sight.
Charlotte was shocked and couldn't believe it was Michael.
"Well done!" Sophia gloated. She had been displeased with Joshua for a long time and seeing him getting beaten up brought her great satisfaction.
"You motherfucker..."
Wiping away his nosebleed, Joshua's anger was about to explode as he angrily pointed at Michael and shouted, "Grandpa, do you see? With just a small achievement, this useless guy acts so arrogant, daring to negotiate with you and even dared to hit me. This is absolutely outrageous! I suggest we give up on the one billion loan and let Charlotte divorce him and marry Daniel. We can still secure a one billion loan from the Wang family."
"Not bad!" Richard also stared harshly at Michael and said, "By marrying Charlotte into the Wang family, not only can we get a one billion loan, but we can also become in-laws with the Wang family. This way not only will the Carter family gain face, but the business with the Wang family will also look after us. It's a win-win situation."
"I agree with my brother and Big Brother's proposal!" Uncle Yannick Harris also spoke up.
Even Auntie Harris couldn't help but persuade Sophia directly, "Sophia, if you marry Charlotte to Daniel, you can receive a dowry of fifty million. You will become so wealthy. Just think about it, I envy you so much. Why doesn't my Maya have such good luck? Sigh!"
After speaking, she glared at Michael, thinking to herself, "You hit my son, I will make you lose your wife!"
"If my Emma had a gentleman like Daniel who wanted to marry her, I would tie Emma up and send her to the Wang family for marriage. Elder sister-in-law, please don't miss such a good opportunity," Auntie also advised.
Sophia found their arguments reasonable and said to Gary Wright, "Grandfather, let's not borrow the one billion. Instead, let Daniel prepare the one billion loan for Wright Group and have the fifty million dowry ready. Once he agrees, I'll immediately drag Charlotte to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for a divorce."
"Alright!"
Gary Wright agreed directly and said, "Joshua, call Daniel and convey your aunt’s intentions to him."
"Okay, Grandfather!"
Joshua was overjoyed and triumphantly confronted Michael.
"You pretend to be impressive, make a bunch of demands, and even have the audacity to hit me. And now, your wife is about to leave you. Enjoy it, you moron."
After saying that, he laughed out loud and took out his phone.
"Michael!"
Charlotte exploded with anger and gave Michael a hard shove, her eyes red as she shouted, "Are you intentionally trying to drive me crazy? You turned a good hand into such a mess. You truly are useless!"
Everyone was originally in high spirits. She went and arranged the loan, then had Joshua reimburse two million. Even if Joshua didn't agree, Grandfather would demand it.
It should have been such a simple and perfect plan, but he messed it up like this. How could she not be upset?
"Charlotte, don't worry. I won't lose this hand of cards."
Michael gave Charlotte a reassuring look, then took out his phone and messaged Natalie Mitchell,
"Notify the bank to cut off Fusion Global's funding chain. Get it done immediately."
Daniel's father's Fusion Global had assets of three to four billion, but also had a considerable amount of debt. As long as the bank tightened its purse strings, Fusion Global would face a crisis. How could they still have money to borrow from the Carter family? How could they still have fifty million to marry Charlotte?
Soon, he received a text message reply from Natalie Mitchell, "Understood, young master. I will immediately contact the major banks."
