Chapter 203 Oppression, Threats
"Find a way? What way can you find? Now time is money, time is life! By the time you come up with a solution, I'm afraid our family business will have gone bankrupt ten thousand times!" Andrew slapped the table and roared.
Victoria lowered her head. There was no good solution at this time. Maybe... maybe even the company went out of business many times, Victoria could not think of any way out.
This was asymmetric strength. Mateo could directly step on the Griffith family, but the Griffith family didn't even have the strength to resist. All they could do was to wait for going bankrupt.
"What else could we think of? The best way now is to ask Mr. Mccarthy for forgiveness. You usually look so smart and capable, but why are you confused at this time? You started the trouble, and should end it."
Franklin spoke sordidly, and when he said the word 'capable', he deliberately increased his tone.
Darian said in a cold voice, "Victoria, you give a call to Mr. Mccarthy, admit your fault and ask for his forgiveness. And ask him how this matter can be solved."
"This..." Victoria was a little hesitant. What should she say when she called Mr. Mccarthy? If Mr. Mccarthy made those unreasonable demands, how should she refuse?
"You don't dare to call him? Since you don't dare to call, then we'll do it for you. Franklin, you give Mr. Mccarthy a call." After speaking, Iris winked at Franklin.
Franklin took out his cell phone and dialed Mateo's number. Soon the phone was answered, and Franklin put it on the speakerphone.
"Hello, Mr. Mccarthy, this is Franklin Griffith."
"Oh, someone from the Griffith family. Do you like the gift I gave you?" Mateo said with a cheerful smile.
It seemed they wanted to bow their heads and admitted their mistakes, so the Griffith family called early in the morning. When thinking of Victoria's gorgeous face, Mateo's blood all over his body heated up. "The gift scared us. We know Victoria did something wrong yesterday. But she also overreacted in a hurry. Please give us a chance, Mr. Mccarthy."
Franklin looked at the aggrieved Victoria, and the corners of his eyes were stern, as he said.
"I can give you an opportunity, but Victoria has to sincerely apologize to me and repent. If you can't do it, your family will wait for bankruptcy." Mateo said calmly as if squeezing the Griffith family to death was like squeezing an ant.
Franklin glanced at Victoria and was secretly relieved. Thinking that as long as Mateo could give them an opportunity, they would send Victoria to apologize. As for how to make apologies, then it was not up to Victoria.
"No problem, we'll set up a banquet at Joyclub tonight to make amends to you, Mr. Mccarthy. Victoria will definitely reflect on herself deeply, and apologize and repent sincerely to you." Franklin said quickly. Anyway, it's not that they went to apologize, and all they should do was to sell Victoria out.
Mateo smiled smugly, "OK, I will give you guys a chance. You could apologize to me in the evening and I want to see Victoria's sincerity."
"Yes, she must be absolutely sincere, you can rest assured."
Just as Franklin finished speaking, a beep sound came out from the phone, and Mateo hung up the phone.
Putting the phone away, Franklin stared at Victoria and said, "You hear that, Mr. Mccarthy is a generous person. He gives you a chance to repent, you must take it."
How could Victoria don't know what Mateo wanted to do? What happened when they stopped her in the private room last night was still vivid.
"I'm not going, as I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize to him?" Victoria said angrily.
"Oh, at this time you are still arrogant? If he wants to make our company finished, he could just open his mouth. Now he is giving you a chance to apologize. That is a favor from Mr. Mccarthy. How can you say it is not your fault? Is it something about right or wrong?"
"Victoria, Uncle knows that you are aggrieved. But now it is not a matter for you alone, but for the whole family. If it is your personal matter, you can do whatever you want. But it is a matter of family reputation and business, it is not up to you."
Andrew and Darian both spoke up, raising the matter to the height of the Griffith family's life and death, pressuring Victoria from the family's perspective.
Victoria's breath became heavy. And she wanted to refute it fiercely. But facing the moral dilemma of the family's survival, Victoria didn't know how to react.
Franklin smoked a cigarette and said contemptuously, "This is not your personal business, and we don't care if you are right or wrong. For tonight's banquet, no matter you want to go or not, you have to go. It's not up to you."
"If you insist on not going, we can only kidnap you and force you. We can't watch you drag everyone into the trouble. Victoria, you have to think it clearly. If you are tied up, maybe we will give you some sleeping pills or something. Then we don't know where you would be sent. " Iris said in an erratic voice, and every word she said stimulated Victoria's nerves.
If she forced to take sleeping pills, then she would not be sent to an apology feast. She would be sent directly to Mateo's bed!
The shuddering feeling spread throughout Victoria's body. Victoria, who was trembling slightly, looked at Andrew and the other three people in panic, as if they had become cannibal demons and would swallow her alive at any time.
"You guys... do you really want to force me like this?" Victoria asked in a trembling voice.
"It's not that we want to force you, but you started the trouble. You have to bear the consequence yourself. Do you want to watch the family business destroyed because of you? That is the industry that our family has worked so hard to create!" Andrew said in a loud voice.
Victoria was silent, closed her eyes tightly, and then tears rushing out from the corners of her eyes.
Darian heavily knocked the table twice, "Victoria, for the sake of the family, you must have the spirit of sacrifice, as our generation made a lot of sacrifices for the development of the Griffith family business back then. To your generation, it is also the time to make sacrifices for the development of the family."
"Yes, it is necessary to sacrifice. We want to sacrifice, but we have no opportunity. We can only look at your sacrifice with envious eyes." Iris said with a playful smile.
Franklin said casually, "You also have nothing to sacrifice. It is just confess a mistake to Mr. Mccarthy, and say a few soft words, and drink and sing with him. You often meet customers who ask for these when you talk about business. It is nothing if you think it clearly."
Victoria smiled miserably, knowing that no matter how much she resisted, it would be useless.
She must go to the apology feast. Otherwise, the first person those relatives would deal with would be her.
"You guys don't have to say anymore ..." Andrew stared at her. And before Victoria finished speaking, he patted the table angrily and said, "Victoria! This is our last chance. You have to think carefully!" "I am going to make amends."
After thinking about it, Victoria said with difficulty. Her whole body was weak, and she felt like she was about to betray her soul.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
