The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 2513

Larry Yeager had exhausted all means. At this moment, he could only make use of the public opinion to force Eric to compromise. That was why he went all out today.

Eric was disgusted by this.

Eric’s face became gloomy and cold.

However, he did not hesitate and strode right into the office.

Mitchell had instructed the bodyguards to wait for Eric at the entrance.

As soon as Eric came, the bodyguards automatically split into two teams and flanked Eric’s side.

All of them went into the president’s exclusive elevator.

However, Larry did not let him go so easily.

They were waiting for Eric to show up.

“Mr. Ferguson is here! Mr. Ferguson is here…”

“Mr. Ferguson, please have mercy on me. I don’t know how I offended you in the past. Why did you use such a ruthless method to lock up our funds with that project? We’re diligent taxpayers and have contributed to the city. You can’t do that to us…”

Larry should not be discharged from the hospital as he was still lying on a stretcher. He was shouting at the top of his lungs and did not care about his image.

He could not care less about anything and only wished that his pitiful act would succeed. Then, he could use public opinion to force Eric to take over that project. That way, his goal would be achieved.

Then, Yeager Corporation could be revived.

Larry was panting. He tried to get off the stretcher, but he was too weak. He choked and sounded pitiful.

“Mr. Ferguson, please help me. I still have hundreds of employees and their families to support!”

For a moment, the media that followed Larry all focused their cameras on Eric.

“Mr. Ferguson, is what Mr. Yeager said true? Is that project a trap that you set to acquire Yeager Corporation?”

“Mr. Ferguson, is this a violation of the fair competition law? What is the industry’s perspective of this?”

“Mr. Ferguson, I heard that you were dating Ms. Yeager before. Did you get close to her on purpose so that you can acquire Yeager Corporation?”

“Mr. Ferguson, I saw that you left the movie premiere with a lady’s bag. Is the owner of that bag Ms. Yeager?”

......

Eric’s face was cold, and he swept a glance to those present.

Cindy was not as hysterical as usual. She only knelt pitifully beside Larry and looked at her father with red eyes.

She looked like a helpless victim.

Cindy used to be a high and mighty career woman, but she turned into a down-and-out rich girl. She looked really pitiful.

However, this did not move Eric in the slightest.

Eric stared at Cindy for a few seconds and finally let out a light chuckle.

“Who spread such rumors? Why don’t I know about my scandal with Ms. Yeager? Is it right for the media to report nonsense without any evidence? Do you know that I can hold you legally responsible for such rumors?”

As soon as Eric opened his mouth, the reporters’ excitement instantly quelled.

Eric was cold and oppressive. Who would dare to slander him?

If they reported any fake news, they might lose their career.

Cindy was startled, and her expression changed instantly.

The project in the neighboring city was a bottomless pit that existed several years ago. However, the flaws were well-hidden locally.

Cindy did not believe that Eric was unaware of it. Ferguson Corporation must have understood the pitfalls after investing in the project, so Eric got out in time and passed the risk to Yeager Corporation.

However, the money that was lost because of the project had nothing to do with Ferguson Corporation’s accounts.

Otherwise, Cindy would have reported it long ago.

Cindy took a deep breath and looked straight at Eric.

“Mr. Ferguson, didn’t Ferguson Corporation realize the risks before you pulled out from the project?”

Eric twitched the corners of his lips.

“Ms. Yeager, I’m not from a risk assessment company, and I don’t have time to personally take care of such a small project. To Ferguson Corporation, losing this sum of money is no big deal. I don’t think Yeager Corporation would be so petty. If you feel that it’s our fault, your company can use the proper channels to get the relevant departments to intervene in the investigation. Don’t use such underhanded methods to play rogue. If fishing for pity is useful, everyone can be fed while lying on a stretcher with their mouths open. What’s the use of working then?”

As soon as he said that, the reporters’ eyes flickered. They felt a little guilty.

They took Cindy’s money, so they had to follow her orders.

If they exposed Eric’s words, Eric might not be condemned. The public might even support him.

That was because there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Mitchell said on the side, “Mr. Yeager, Ms. Yeager, your presence here has already affected our company’s operations. If you don’t leave within ten minutes, we will call the police. I will also ask our legal department to send all the media present here a lawyer’s letter as I seriously question your professionalism and ability.”

He turned to Eric and said, “Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Ludwig has been waiting for you upstairs for quite some time.”

Eric nodded slightly. Then, he turned around and left without looking at the person in front of him.
