1309 Two Hundred Million Dollars

Looking at the faces of his family members, Norman said with self-reproach, This time, I indeed underestimated the abilities of the Parkers and Lucas Gray, which caused our family to suffer heavy losses. Im sorry, everyone.

But I swear that I wont let this matter rest! One day, I will lead you to take back everything weve lost from the enemys hands!

The Holmes knew that they couldnt blame Norman for this, so they spoke one after another.

Norman, theres no need to blame yourself too much. We know you didnt want this to happen either. Who knew we would encounter such a powerful opponent?

!!

Yeah, Norman, this really isnt your fault. Just as youve said, even Rayson Williams, the helmsman of one of the eight top families in DC, suffered at the hands of Lucas Gray. Even over a hundred of the Williams experts were detained by Lucas Gray. The Holmes are truly no match for this person.

Norman, dont worry. We will definitely bring the Holmes to glory again and take back everything weve lost!

The Holmes had a rather peaceful and calm att.i.tude toward Norman. They didnt get upset or lose their temper with him because of this matter.

In all fairness, Norman had been performing well as the helmsman of the Holmes all these years. He managed to develop the family and help them rise from a low-ranking family to a second-tier family. Thus, as long as he didnt commit an irreparable mistake, the rest of the family wouldnt dare to do anything to him.

This was the prestige that Norman had in the Holmes family.

Suddenly, the accountant in charge of the Holmes finances received a text message about a deposit of 200 million dollars in their main bank account. He was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.

Whats going on? Farrer, the accountant, stared blankly at the text message on his phone. The Holmes werent expecting to receive so much money recently!

Farrers movements were too big, so he immediately attracted the attention of the others in the conference room, including Normans.

Norman looked at Farrer in puzzlement and asked, Farrer, whats going on?

Farrer came back to his senses and suddenly said, Mr. Norman, weve just received a deposit of two hundred million dollars in our main account, but its quite strange

Two hundred million dollars?!

Upon hearing the amount, even Norman couldnt help being shocked.

After numerous years of development, the Holmes had ama.s.sed a total net worth of about 20 billion dollars. Their wealth included a large amount of real estate, stocks, and other a.s.sets. Their liquidity was less than 1.5 billion dollars, so the sudden influx of 200 million dollars was indeed a ma.s.sive sum.

Who transferred it to us? Norman asked.

Farrers expression became even stranger as he said hesitantly, Its from the Stardust Corporation.

As soon as Norman heard the words the Stardust Corporation, his expression also became strange.

The name of the Stardust Corporation was deeply etched in Normans mind now. Whenever he heard it, he felt excruciating pain throughout his body. The Stardust Corporation was where he had handed over nearly 10 billion dollars worth of his familys a.s.sets this morning!

But this made things even stranger. He had just transferred half of his familys businesses and a.s.sets to the Stardust Corporation this morning. Why did the Stardust Corporation suddenly transfer 200 million dollars to the Holmes?

Whats going on?

Could Lucas Gray and the Stardust Corporation not want to be known as robbers, so they deliberately transferred two hundred million dollars to the Holmes to make it look like they paid for the a.s.sets instead of robbing them?

For a while, Norman couldnt figure out what Lucas was thinking.

Suddenly, Normans phone on the conference table rang. The voice of his only son, Luther, came clearly from the other end. Dad, did someone transfer two hundred million dollars to our bank account?

Norman hurriedly asked, Luther, whats going on? Does the two hundred million dollars have something to do with you?

Luther sounded even more surprised than Norman. What? Did he really transfer two hundred million dollars to our account? Dad, are you sure the money arrived?

Normans heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition. He frantically asked, Luther Holmes, whats going on? Who transferred the money to us? Hurry up and tell me clearly!

Luther didnt notice anything amiss. He merely thought that he had gotten a lot of money. He had just mentioned it casually, yet the fool opposite him had really transferred 200 million dollars to the Holmes. He was elated!

Haha, Dad, let me tell you. I ran into an idiot today and told him to give me two hundred million dollars as compensation. He actually really did it. If I had known he was so compliant, I would have asked him for more money. This is almost a few months of our familys net profit!

Oh, by the way, this idiot seems to know you. He even wanted me to tell you that his name is Lucas Gray. Do you think he was frightened silly by your reputation?

Luther was still speaking proudly, but when Norman heard the name Lucas Gray, his body immediately trembled.

What what did you say? Did you say that his name is Lucas Gray? Is is he a tall young man in his twenties? Norman asked, his voice shaking.

Luther still had no idea what was happening. He glanced at Lucas and answered nonchalantly, Yeah, hes a young man in his late twenties. Dad, do you really know this idiot?

Norman was so angry that he was on the verge of having a heart attack. He hollered, Who are you calling an idiot?! Youre the idiot! And the greatest one at that!

I dont care what happened between you two and why he transferred money to us. In any case, immediately kneel down and apologize to him. Quickly beg him to forgive you. Do you hear me?

Norman was practically shouting at the top of his lungs.

He never thought that his son would provoke Lucas!

The Holmes had ended up in this state and had been forced to hand over half of the familys a.s.sets because of Lucas. Moreover, they were still discussing the matter just now. Although they couldnt let Lucas off, they had to take him seriously. Before finding a backer who could rival Lucas, they definitely couldnt provoke him again.

But what happened now?

Before the meeting even ended, Normans only son had encountered Lucas and offended him greatly!

As for Lucass compensation of 200 million dollars, Norman knew that his son must have extorted Lucas, given that Luther had done similar things in the past.

Otherwise, what could have happened to warrant a compensation of 200 million dollars?

After offending Lucas so terribly, could Luther return in one piece?

Norman didnt dare to think about it anymore. He could only tell his son to kneel and beg for forgiveness. Perhaps this way, he might have a chance of survival.
