Elder Lady Collins could only console Eric Collins, saying, "It's pointless to pursue these matters now. We need to figure out how to get the money. If we really must, we'll mortgage the property and then get some funds from the Thomas Family and the Reed Family. That should be more or less enough."
"Mom, a billion eight could have helped a week ago, but that's not enough to solve the problem anymore." Eric Collins felt a bitter chill in his heart.
"How much is needed?" Elder Lady Collins asked.
Eric Collins shook his head, "I'm not even sure how much."
He was truly at a loss now as some accounts had gone awry right under his watch.
Just as the mother and son had yet to snap out of the company's crisis, even more terrifying news came.
"Old Lady, it's terrible... it's terrible..." a servant came in with a voice filled with panic and horror.
Upon hearing this, Elder Lady Collins's anger flared up, "What's all the shouting about? Speak properly."
