My Billionaire Husband

The Ford family’s living room was deathly silent.

Everyone’s faces turned ashen. There were even some timid people who were already shivering as if their souls had left their bodies.

How could they pay off a 35-million-dollar debt within a week?

However, if they didn’t pay it back, not only would the company be taken away from them, but their real estate and properties would be made collateral. They might even go to prison.

How could the people present withstand the shock of going to jail? They had long been scared out of their wits!

William instantly aged a decade. He let out a faint sigh and said, “Go and see how much money is left in the company’s account. Draw it all out. Also, ask your relatives and friends to lend us some. Let’s get as much as we can.”

At this point, no matter how reluctant they were, they could only bite the bullet and make a phone call to borrow money.

It was written clearly on the legal document that everyone would have to go to jail if they couldn’t pay the debt in a week. This was no joke.

However, no matter who it was, as soon as they mentioned borrowing money, the line went dead.

Everyone felt very depressed and hopeless.

“It’s all that piece of trash’s fault…”

Caroline and Rebecca gritted their teeth in anger, but there was nothing they could do.

If they had known this would happen, they wouldn’t have thrown out that good-for-nothing so early on. Now that he had run away, they were the ones who had to help him clean up his mess.

“No, I don’t have money!”

Maria couldn’t stand it anymore. She complained, “Why should we pay it for him? They’re just bullying us!”

“Then what can you do about it? The court document has been issued, and we can’t go against it!” Samuel said helplessly.

Everyone was racking their brains to figure out what to do. Just then, three vans stopped at the gate of the Ford’s house. The door was opened and a group of ruffians rushed out.

They were all tattooed and holding weapons in their hands as they walked into the Ford’s courtyard with malicious intentions.

The Fords asked sternly, “Who are you all? What are you doing here?”

“You hit my girl and asked me who I am? Who do you guys think you are?”

Someone laughed heinously.

The ruffians parted and a tall man wearing a mink coat with a cigar hanging from his mouth swaggered in.

Samuel pointed at the man with a dark expression and cried out involuntarily, “You… you’re Frankie Perry?”

Upon hearing this, Frank immediately strode toward Samuel and slapped him without saying a word. “Fuck you, who do you think you are to call me by my name?”

Franks’ name had always been a sore point for him. His parents were uncultured rednecks and just gave him a random name.

There were six children in the family. He was the youngest, and so his parents gave him a name starting with the sixth letter of the alphabet.

In the past, before he had become successful, everyone had called him Frankie. Now that he was successful, no one dared to call him that anymore. They all called him Mr. Perry. How could he not get enraged when some old man from the Ford family called him Frankie?

Samuel was getting on in years. After being struck by Frank, he immediately fell to the ground.

However, no one came up to help him; all of them intimidated by Frank.

Frank scanned the room with fierce eyes and said in a cold voice, “Since you know that I’m Frank Perry, how dare you touch my woman? Beat them all up!”

The hooligans behind him swarmed forward at once and smashed everything in the Ford family’s house.

“Ah…”

The women in the Ford family were so scared that they all screamed, their faces turning pale.

Crack! Snap!

There were sounds of things being smashed everywhere. The ruffians were smart enough to pick out the expensive ones, antiques, famous paintings, and fragile items, smashing them all.

Rebecca’s heart ached at the sight.

“My Hermes China…”

“Those are my pearls and jade bracelets.”

“No, that’s a one-of-a-kind painting!”

“…”

Every time they destroyed something; Rebecca would cry out in pain.

Her continued moaning eventually grated on the arsonists’ nerves.

“Fuck, this bitch is looking down on us because we haven’t studied much. How pretentious!” One of the ruffians glared at Rebecca and roared.

“Smash them all! Since they’re worth so much money, smash them all!”

Crack! Crash!

There was yet another round of things being destroyed.

“Please stop smashing…”

Rebecca was distressed. All the antiques and paintings were almost five million dollars altogether. That was equivalent to one-seventh of her debt.

“Get lost!”

Rebecca went over to stop one of the ruffians but was violently pushed to the ground by him.

The floor was littered with shards of glass. Rebecca accidentally cut her hand and the shards of glass sank into her flesh. She was in so much pain that tears escaped from her eyes.

William hurriedly pulled her up and shielded her behind him. He also shielded Caroline but did not stop the hoodlums from vandalizing their property.

He could see that they were only going to smash things rather than hurt them.

It didn’t matter if things were smashed as long as they don’t injure them.

After smashing the things, Frank glared at everyone fiercely and said, “Keep your eyes open from now on. I am not someone that anyone can mess with!”

With that, he sauntered off.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Frank couldn’t afford to be too ruthless. Although this wasn’t the first time he had done something like this, he had to be careful to not go too far.

The higher-ups had made it clear that he could take revenge, but he couldn’t make a big deal out of it. After much deliberation, Frank could only go in and smash their stuff.

However, the mere act of their things being smashed was enough to scare the entire Ford family. Apart from William, everyone else was badly frightened by Frank.

This was especially true for Frank’s aura. It was so powerful that the crowd present did not dare to move in the slightest.

After Frank left, some of the Ford girls finally dared to cry out loud.

Caroline was like a startled animal. She leaned softly against the wall and slid to the ground. She hugged her head tightly with both hands and tugged on her messy hair. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair as she fell into an extremely frenzied state.

The successive blows had completely destroyed her weak psychological state.

There was a voice in her heart telling her that the Ford family was finished…

Later that night at Valendale Villa.

Leo held a glass of red wine in his hand and swirled it gently. He did not drink it, but instead looked at the dense stars in the sky.

“Sir.”

Nadine appeared behind Leo like a ghost and reported truthfully, “Atlas Beauty didn’t terminate its cooperation with the Ford family, but everyone apart from William Ford was blacklisted, including Caroline and Rebecca Ford.”

“The O’Brien family sent a lawyer to give the Ford family an ultimatum. They are to pay back 35 million dollars in a week. Otherwise, their properties will be seized.”

“Frank Perry brought men to the main Ford household and wrecked the place. They will continue to threaten the Ford family for the remainder of the week.”

Leo closed his eyes when he heard that. He waved her hands and said in a melancholy tone, “I got it. You can go and take a break.”

“As you wish.”

Nadine left after giving Leo a second glance.

She knew that Mr. Cohen needed some peace and quiet at this moment.

After a long time, Leo’s sigh could be heard from the quiet balcony.

“Will you all finally be satisfied with this, or do I need to go further?”

This was something that Leo had entrusted Nadine with.

Though Leo did feel affection for the Ford family, Nadine did not. She naturally would not show any mercy to them.

Many orders had been passed down, and what awaited the Fords would be oppression from all sides.
