Chapter 202 Paying for Quintessential
“Mr. Taon, I don’t see what you’re so smug about. If Quintessential doesn’t pay up, then Lilyrose Bank would lose a whopping 50 million
dollars in bad debt.”
Darcy was infuriated at the sight of Maurice.
The man was the driving force behind Quintessential Group’s predicament.
“Are you saying that your company is planning to skip paying?”
Maurice scoffed and turned to the press. “You heard Ms. Quint. Don’t forget to put it in your reports. Isn’t the public in favor of her now? People are on her side.
“She is no better than her college friend, Joy. One is a traitor, and the
other’s a cheat.
“Tsk, tsk. A beautiful CEO turns out to be a cheat. Now that’s what I
call a headliner.”
Maurice’s accusation set off a flurry of camera flashes at Darcy.
“Ms. Quint, are you admitting that you’re a cheat?” a reporter asked
aloud.
“I’m sorry, everyone. That wasn’t what I said,” Darcy explained in a
fluster.
A lie repeated often enough would become the truth.
Being labeled as a cheat would throw her into public backlash once
more.
Besides, she was the face of Quintessential Group.
At this rate, the company would have no chance at redemption.

Kaze took her arm. “Stop explaining yourself, babe. The press is with Maurice, so no amount of explaining would change their mind. The best way to move forward is to prove the group has money. Tear them down with facts.”
He had given Ray a call when taking the lift down.
The grand fireworks display that Kaze had promised Darcy was set to begin.
Kaze’s words silenced the commotion at the company entrance.
Many sneered in disdain.
Maurice said sarcastically, “Your silly husband wants to prove that Quintessential Group has the funds, Ms. Quint. Well, hurry up and prove us wrong by paying the 50 million dollars owed to Lilyrose Bank.”
“You owe Industrial and Commercial Bank 70 million dollars.”
ay 90 million dollars to South Bank!”
pect a full payment of 70 million dollars to Lockhart Bank.”
rked by Kaze’s bold statement, the other managing directors turned their attention to Darcy.
“Can you stop talking for once, Kaze? Where am I going to find the money?”
Darcy snapped an angry look at Kaze.
She wanted to have a talk with the managing directors about a potential delay in payment. However, Kaze put her on the spot and there was no turning back now.
“Why aren’t you saying anything, Darcy? You can’t even afford 50

have 30 million dollars in corporate funds.”
Maurice laughed out loud.
“Is 50 million dollars a lot? The Lefteria Group will foot the bill for
Quintessential!”
An angry woman’s voice echoed through the hall.
“Miru!”
Darcy looked up in joy as her best friend strutted through the crowd.
Maurice grimaced. “Is Lefteria Group trying to be an enemy here, Miru?”
He recognized Miru and knew she was the goddaughter of Lefterial Group’s chairman. Little did he expect that Lefteria Group would get
involved.
It was no secret in Lilyrose that Maurice wanted to bring down Quintessential. The Lefteria Group’s involvement in the matter showed that they were against him.
Miru criticized Maurice contemptuously, “Who do you think you are, Maurice? The Lefteria Group doesn’t even consider you a threat.”
“I am the son-in-law of the Everias, one of the most powerful families. Don’t tell me the top families can’t hold a candle to Lefteria Group.”
Maurice flew off the handle.
Miru smiled. “That’s right. The top families don’t scare us. For
someone who married into a powerful family, you sure like to brag, Maurice.”
While talking, she side-eyed Kaze who stood next to Darcy.
Kaze frowned and ignored the woman.
At this rate, the company would have no chance at redemption.

With Miru’s words hitting Maurice’s sore point, he lashed out, Quintessential owed hundreds of millions of dollars, Miru. No bank will lend her more money. I doubt Lefteria Group alone can save the company.”
Darcy seemed dejected.
She was grateful for her best friend’s timely help but also aware that Maurice had a point.
Lefteria Group alone could not pull Quintessential Group out of debt.
The crowd, who packed the company entrance, once again cleared a path.
The movers and shakers of Lilyrose City took large strides into the lobby.
“Vikrom Group and Logman Group will pay 170 million dollars to Industrial and Commercial Bank for Quintessential Group.”
“Sixth Eye Jewelry Group is happy to cover Quintessential Group for the 90-million-dollar loan due to South Bank.”
“Heavensward Group will pay 70 million dollars to Lockhart Bank on behalf of Quintessential Group.”
