NovelEnglishChapter 972 He Doesn't Pamper Raymond just sat there at the head of the table, cool as a cucumber, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface like he didn't have a care in the world.
After a minute, he finally broke the silence. "Elbert, to buy those 20% shares from Mr. Scott, you mortgaged everything you own, drained all your cash, and even borrowed $400 million from the bank. How exactly do you plan to pay that back?" Raymond's eyes sparkled with amusement as he glanced around at the other Montague family members.
The ones who had been making all the noise a moment ago now shrank back, avoiding his gaze like it was the plague.
Even though Raymond's look seemed casual, to them, it felt like a sharp, cold blade, freezing them in their tracks.
Everyone's faces turned grim. They exchanged nervous glances, not daring to challenge Raymond.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElbert shouted, "No way! Raymond, you must've pulled sdirty tricks!" Elbert, who had been scheming for years and was so close to success, couldn't believe he was suddenly being dragged down. He refused to accept it.
Raymond, however, didn't indulge him or anyone else, for that matter. "Elbert, you now only have the 20% shares you just bought. You have two choices: sell these shares toat half the market price, which will let you repay your debt, or I'll tank the stock price of the Montague Group, making your shares worthless. I'm dead serious." This second option was nuts, but everyone there believed Raymond would actually do it.
It seemed like he was giving Elbert a choice, but really, he was pushing him into a corner.
Elbert had bought the 20% shares at twice the market price and mortgaged his own 30% shares. Now, Raymond wanted him to sell at half the market price, which would mean losing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Elbert was already broke, with nothing left to his name. He spat out blood and nearly passed out. Seeing the blood on the floor, Raymond frowned.
Eric quickly chimed in, "Mr. Montague has a thing about cleanliness. Find another place to spit blood." Hearing that, Elbert, who had been barely holding on, fainted on the spot.
Harry quickly helped Elbert up but didn't dare look at Raymond.
Harry was terrified that if he angered Raymond, Raymond would really go with the second option, making their shares worthless.
That would leave them $400 million in debt, with interest they could never repay, unless they both jumped off a building to escape their debts.
Harry's hands were shaking. He had always been jealous of Raymond's effortless demeanor, jealous of how Raymond, who was inferior to Christopher, had such formidable strength.
Harry hated it, so much that his mouth tasted of blood. He awkwardly helped Elbert up and limped away.
The other Montague family members didn't dare to leave, especially Grace, who had signed an agreement with Elbert. Now that Elbert had fallen, she had no shares in the Montague Group. The Montague family wouldn't owe her a penny. Even before Raymond walked in, she had been eager to show her loyalty to Elbert.

The other Montague family members were similarly stunned, sitting in silence.
The reversal had ctoo quickly, and the change was too drastic.
In the midst of the silence, Raymond pointed to one of the senior executives.
This executive was on Raymond's side and had been beaming since Raymond Walked in. Raymond said, "Repeat their behavior just now."
The executive was eager to comply. He had been tormented by those who sided with Elbert for days, and now that he had a chance to vent, he wasn't going to miss it.
The executive said, "Mr. Raymond Montague, I'm afraid I can't perform it all by myself because everyone's performance was quite spectacular before you arrived." With that, the faces of the Montague family members turned even more ashen.
