Chapter 6 Never Get Divorced

  • Holy cow! What is happening here? Everyone was flabbergasted. This man is the president of a bank!
  • Everyone knew that Diego was not only the president of Eclait Bank but also the owner of several fund companies with a net worth of billions. Why would he show such respect for an ex-convict?!
  • "Mr. Stone, c-could you be mistaken? This man is just an ex-convict—"
  • "Shut up!" Diego swore and kicked Leah away. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you disrespect someone as esteemed as Mr. Jansson?!" If Henrik were merely Charlie's friend, he would probably take him seriously, but not to the point of groveling like this. However, Charlie himself had said that Henrik was the true chairman of Root Capital! This man was a super-rich man with a net worth of hundreds of billions.
  • In front of such a person, Diego's wealth was nothing. Even if Henrik let a small amount of money slip through his fingers, it would be enough for him to live a luxurious life.
  • "Mr. Jansson, this is the exclusive black card specially prepared for you by our bank, with a credit limit of 50 billion. I apologize for the delay caused by this matter. Please forgive us, Mr. Jansson." Diego presented the bank card with both hands.
  • This remark had a much greater impact than Diego bowing to Henrik and shocked everyone. 50 billion! How much money is that!? How esteemed one must be to have such an exclusive black card?!
  • "W-Who are you, really?" Corey's mouth dropped open, and his face was filled with horror. Now he finally understood why Henrik was so certain that he couldn't borrow money, and even more so, he had the confidence to say that he could make Eclait Bank close down with just one word.
  • It was apparent from the situation that Corey had offended Henrik, and Diego's face immediately turned cold. "Mr. Campbell, have you been living too comfortably lately, thinking that you can offend anyone? Isn't your family owing a huge loan to our bank? It seems like the repayment date needs to be brought forward."
  • Corey's face turned pale, and he trembled all over. If Diego really did that, the Campbells' financial structure could collapse, leading to a potential bankruptcy if they couldn't secure additional funding.
  • "Mr. Jansson, I was wrong. I'm sorry for what I did!" He could no longer maintain his arrogance and quickly bowed to Henrik, begging for forgiveness. "My son deserved what happened to him! Rest assured, Mr. Jansson, the Campbells will never seek revenge against you and Miss Svenson. Please, Mr. Jansson, spare us. I'm bowing to you!"
  • "What's the use of apologizing to me? Go apologize to my wife! If she's not satisfied, I'll wipe out your entire family!" Henrik said coldly.
  • "Mr. Jansson, please rest assured. I will handle it properly and immediately go to apologize. Please wait for my good news, Mr. Jansson," Corey promised, trembling all over and bowing.
  • "Get lost." Henrik kicked Corey out like sending away a stray dog. Then, he turned around and took the bank card from Diego's hand. "Mr. Stone, thank you."
  • "No, no, no, it's no big deal. It's what I'm supposed to do. Mr. Jansson. No need to be so polite with me," Diego said, relieved that Henrik didn't blame him for arriving late.
  • However, what Henrik said next made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
  • "It's just that your subordinates need to be disciplined. I told Ms. Fowler and this teller several times to inform you of my arrival, but they thought I was showing off and even called the security guards to get rid of me. If this is the kind of service I can expect from your bank, maybe I should move my money elsewhere," Henrik said. With that, he turned around and left, but not without giving Diego a look that said, 'Take care of yourself.'
  • Diego's face turned as black as thunder as he pointed at Leah and the teller. "Both of you are fired. Pack up and leave immediately! Also, here's a warning to all of you: Never look down on any of our customers. Whether they're poor or rich, serve them equally!"
  • Thunderstruck, Leah and the teller slumped weakly to the ground; words couldn't describe the remorse in their hearts.
  • Back in his office, Diego still felt uneasy. He was afraid that if Henrik became unhappy, he would transfer all the funds that Root Capital had deposited in Eclait Bank to another bank. That was tens of billions of dollars in cash! Once it was transferred, not only would Eclait Bank's performance plummet, but his fund companies would also suffer greatly.
  • After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and made a call.
  • On the other hand, after Corey left Eclait Bank, he drove straight to Ingrid's house, but unexpectedly, his car blew a tire on the way there. He cursed loudly and almost smashed the steering wheel. Then, he abandoned the car and ran to Ingrid's house.
  • When Henrik arrived, he hadn't arrived yet.
  • At this moment, everyone from the Svenson Family had gathered at Ingrid's house.
  • "Sean, this is your family's trouble, so solve it yourselves. Don't drag the entire Svenson Family into this!"
  • "Where is that ex-convict? Make him divorce Ingrid quickly, then go to the hospital with him to kneel and apologize to Mr. Campbell. Don't expect us to clean up your mess!"
  • "Hehe, I bet that ex-convict knew he caused trouble and ran away, leaving you all behind, right? Ingrid, your judgment of people is really terrible!"
  • Ingrid's parents looked at Ingrid. They came home early and were still clueless about what had happened. They didn't even know who the ex-convict mentioned by the Svensons was, but they knew the situation was very serious.
  • Ingrid couldn't help but clench her fists. Could it be that he really ran away because he was afraid of trouble?
  • Just then, Henrik pushed the door open and entered. "Ingrid and I won't get divorced, so you don't have to worry about it."
  • Knowing that he was the culprit, Dallas yelled, "That's easy for you to say. I think you're trying to get Ingrid and our family killed!" She couldn't bear to see her daughter being ruined by someone like Donald, so she and her husband chose to leave early. However, to their surprise, their daughter didn't marry Donald. Instead, she chose to marry an ex-convict who was even worse than Donald!
  • And now, this ex-convict had caused huge trouble for them!
  • It would be strange for her to have a friendly attitude toward Henrik.
  • Sean said with a bitter expression, "Ingrid, look at the current situation. Hurry up and go through the divorce procedures. Otherwise, if the Campbells seek revenge, we won't be able to handle it." He truly didn't want his daughter to suffer, but there was nothing he could do about it. This deep sense of powerlessness tormented him more than any form of torture.
  • Henrik said, "Mom, Dad, I have already resolved this matter. Corey won't come to cause trouble, so you can rest assured."
  • This remark earned him a round of disdainful glances.
  • Dallas angrily said, "Don't call me Mom!"
  • Elin said with a scoff, "Henrik, will it kill you to stop pretending? What makes you, a useless good-for-nothing, think you can guarantee that Mr. Campbell won't seek revenge? Do you really think someone like Mr. Campbell would be afraid of an ex-convict like you!?"
  • Matilda sneered. "Sean, since your wonderful son-in-law has already resolved the matter, we'll just sit back and watch him perform."
  • Sean and Dallas immediately panicked. "No, Mom! If you don't help us, we will be in a very miserable state."
  • Seeing that Henrik was about to speak, Ingrid quickly pulled him back and scolded him in a low voice, "Shut up! Will it kill you to stop bragging?"
  • Looking at the miserable state of this family, Elin felt a strong sense of superiority, especially when she saw the previously insolent Henrik now hanging his head in dejection. It was incredibly satisfying. "In fact, there is another way to resolve this matter. Ingrid and Henrik, if you don't want to divorce each other and apologize to Mr. Campbell, you can kneel down and beg Luca and me for help. As long as you sincerely plead with us, I can kindly ask my husband for help and resolve this matter."
  • Luca's eyes lit up at this suggestion. "Elin is right. As long as you are willing to plead with me, I will help." He stared coldly at Henrik as if saying, 'You brat, weren't you so arrogant before? Now, you have to kneel down and beg me!'
  • Ingrid felt infinite sadness in her heart as the feeling of despair and powerlessness overwhelmed her. She would rather die than beg Elin on her knees, which left her with just one option. Never mind, it's me who caused the trouble. Even if my life is ruined, I can't let Mom and Dad get hurt. "Henrik, let's get a divorce. After that, you run away as far as you can," she said in despair. "Only by doing this can this matter be resolved, and you won't be implicated."
  • Henrik's heart shuddered, and he looked at her tenderly. "I'm not afraid of getting implicated."
  • At this moment, Ingrid felt a strange sensation, a touching feeling she had never experienced before. Tears streamed down her face. "But other than this, what other options do we have?"
  • "There is an option! Don't get divorced! You two must stay together!" a loud voice suddenly shouted from outside the door.
  • Following that was a loud Bang! Then, the door was kicked open. Corey, drenched in sweat, finally arrived.
