Finding Out The Billionaire Chapter 14

Chapter 14 You Were The One Behind All Of This

“Yeah. My time is up, but I’m still perfectly fine, aren’t I?”

Walt’s entire demeanor oozed of sarcasm.

As soon as he spoke, his phone rang abruptly. It was his father calling.

When the call connected, his father’s furious voice came from the other end.

“You b******! Which big shot have you offended?”

“The Wallace family is in trouble because of you. I’ll be d***ed if you’re not dead by the time I’m done giving you a beating!”

What?

Walt was stupefied. What the hell is going on?

Before he could make sense of anything, the call ended with a loud crashing sound, as his father lost his temper and threw his phone onto the ground.

Then, he received another call.

“Sir, I have bad news. The loan contract of two hundred million that we’d signed last week was abruptly terminated by the bank!”

“W… What? Why?”

Walt exclaimed in shock.

“The bank said that it’s over for the Wallace family and that if they’d given us a loan, they’d have to face grave consequences!”

“F*** those pricks! They’re the ones who are going to be done for, not the Wallace family!”

Walt angrily hung up the call, but his phone immediately rang with another call.

His phone was bombarded by never ending calls

“Mr. Wallace, something bad has happened. The fire safety department has said that we’ve failed the inspection and that they’re going to forcibly shut the factory down!”

“Mr. Wallace, three of our suppliers have announced that they will no longer supply our company!”

“Mr. Wallace, your father has been arrested by the police.”

One bad news came after the other. Walt’s face paled slightly and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Beads of cold sweat had gathered across his forehead. A look of horror was sprawled across his face when he turned to stare at Alex in disbelief.

“It’s you… It’s you, isn’t it?”

“Aren’t you just a live-in son-in-law? How could you possibly have the power to pull this off?”

Alex countered in an apathetic manner, “Remember what I’d said the day before? I said that I’d make you kneel and beg me for mercy today.”

Thud!

Walt’s legs gave out beneath him and he fell to his knees before Alex. A single text message from him had the ability to bring down the entire Wallace family. A power like that was simply terrifying.

Walt was paralyzed with fear.

He realized that he had messed with the wrong person.

Alex Jefferson hid it so well!

There’s definitely a force powerful beyond imagination that is supporting him from the shadows!

“Alex… Mr. Jefferson… I made a mistake. I know it now. I was an ignorant fool, so please give me another chance!”

Putting his hands together, he pleaded, “Please spare my family.”

He kowtowed profusely while he begged, banging his forehead against the ground until it bled.

Everyone present couldn’t believe their eyes.

They stared at him wide-eyed, in disbelief with jaws that were hanging open.

Alex Jefferson, a live-in son-in-law, was able to take down the entire Wallace family with merely a text message.

Not only that, rather, the heir of the Wallace family, Walt Wallace, was on his knees, kowtowing as he begged Alex for mercy.

They couldn’t help but wonder if Alex, their former class rep, was just a mere live-in son-in-law.

Even Heather’s eyes had widened in shock.

She fixated her eyes on her own husband who seemed so foreign to her now.

Indeed, the current Alex was a completely unfamiliar person. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

She suddenly recalled that Alex had repeatedly insisted that he could give her thirty million to help the Jennings family.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to believe him at that time, as she had thought that he was overestimating his capabilities.

But now…

Bitterness rose in her heart.

She knew that even with their relationship of five years, it would be impossible to go back to how they were in the beginning after today.

A cracked glass could never be restored to how it originally was.

Just like how once a bucket of water toppled onto the ground, the droplets could never be recollected.

A gap had already formed between them.

A gap that could no longer be sealed.

Concurrently, she was beside herself with rage.

Alex had lied to her about his true powers.

He would rather be a live-in son-in-law who was ridiculed by her mother every day than expose his true identity.

This man was frightening and detestable!

“Alex, no, Mr. Jefferson. No, Mr. Jefferson! Please spare my family. If you show us mercy, I’ll be your loyal dog from now on!”

Walt was petrified.

He was from a wealthy and influential family, and he had enjoyed the luxurious life that came with his status from a young age.

Hence, he found it hard to adapt to his fall from grace.

The worst part of it was that his father had been arrested by the police.

He believed that one word from Alex would doom his father to a lifetime in prison.

Whether he could survive in prison was entirely dependent on how generous Alex and the forces behind him were feeling.

Adding on the fact that he had plotted to take revenge on Heather as well as humiliated Alex, would Alex never let him go?

Of course not.

Sure enough, a group of police officers rushed in just then.

“Who is Walt Wallace?” One of the police officers asked.

Fear coursed through Walt’s veins and he almost passed out from it.

What he was most afraid of had come true!

“Sir. Sir! Please, I beg you. We were once classmates, weren’t we? Please spare me. I promise I’ll do anything for you if you let me go!”

Walt burst into tears. The blood from his forehead mixed with the tears streaming down his face, making him appear very unsightly.

The others did not dare to move an inch upon seeing the police.

“Take all of them in for investigation. I’m sure that you’ll find dirt on at least a handful of them.” Alex kicked Walt away and told the police.

Weren’t these dear old classmates of mine having so much fun throwing insults at me earlier?

Today, I’ll teach them all a lesson.

The expressions of Alex’s former classmates turned ghastly when they heard what he had uttered.

Alex had crushed the Wallace family like a bug, and they were nowhere as powerful as the Wallace family.

“Alex, we were wrong. We should have never made fun of you. We don’t deserve to be called humans!”

Many of them started to beg for leniency.

Unfortunately for them, Alex did not have the slightest interest in their pleas. All he did was stand there in silence.

The police officers were unfamiliar with Alex, but seeing as he spoke with such authority, they could instantly guess his identity.

He must be the person who had set a target on the Wallace family, instigating this whole incident.

Since significant figures were also involved in this, it went without saying that they would not dare to step on Alex’s toes.

“Take all of them away.” The leading police officer ordered, and his subordinates swiftly escorted everyone out.

Since the police did not know who Heather was, they were about to take her into custody.

“She’s my wife,” Alex muttered tersely.

The officer who was holding Heather jolted in shock and hastily released her.

Heather felt as though she was dreaming when she saw everyone being taken into custody.

Alex glanced at the blood that he had vomited earlier before turning on his heels to head out.

“Alex!” Heather yelled through gritted teeth.

Alex stopped in his tracks but did not turn around.

“You were the one behind all of this, right?” Heather asked in a solemn voice.
