A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 17

Alina had been taking care of Michael in the hospital for three whole days.

Three days later, Michael finally regained consciousness. Alina was ecstatic. "Mike, how are you feeling?"

Michael was very weak, but he still squeezed out a smile. "I'm fine!"

On the other hand, Morgan was relatively calm. When he realized Michael had woke up, he immediately rang the bell and called the doctor.

The doctor came in to see Michael's condition and arranged for another operation in the afternoon.

A nurse told Alina that she had to pay 200 thousand dollars as a deposit before the surgery. There was not much money left from the previous deposit. The second operation was more extensive and needed more materials. After the operation, money was also needed for Mike's medications and rehabilitation which was not cheap as well.

Alina readily agreed. She went back to the ward and asked Morgan to take care of Michael. Then, she left the hospital hastily. 

She could not afford to pay 200 thousand dollars immediately. However, she had a solution in mind. If money was insufficient, she would use the five million dollars from Wilson to pay for Mike's medical bills. She would return it to Wilson when she had saved enough money.

She hurried to the bank and waited for a long time before it was her turn. She immediately handed over the cheque.

The counter staff took the cheque and politely said, "Miss, this cheque is invalid. Please contact the payer to rewrite another cheque!" 

"The cheque is invalid? What should I do now?" Alina was frantic. How could she ask Wilson for another cheque?

But if she kept silent, who would pay for Mike's medical bills? Mike was injured because of her, so she would not accept compensation from the company. Alina hoped that when he recovered, the money would be given to Mike as compensation for the trauma, not to pay for his medical bills.

"Are you in a hurry for cash?" Alina heard a familiar voice. It was Wilson.

Alina looked up and saw Wilson standing two meters away from her, dressed in a sharp suit. He had a faint smile on his lips. 

"I..." Alina didn't know what to say. It was an awkward situation to be in. 

Wilson pulled out a golden card from his wallet. He handed the card to Alina. "The cheque's validity is only fifteen days. This card has two million dollars, take and use it first. Let me know if it's not enough."

Alina was dumbfounded at his words. Wilson stuffed the card into her hand. "The card doesn't have a password!" After saying that, he strode away, leaving Alina speechless.

After he left the bank, Wilson got in the backseat of his car and picked up a financial magazine.

Simon, who was in the driver's seat, saw Wilson return to the car alone and asked, "Mr. Wilson, I thought Mr. Harry wanted to inspect the raw materials with you?"

"He went to pick up his daughter at the airport as she just returned from overseas. The bank will send some documents regarding the escrow account to the company tomorrow!" Wilson replied.

He and Mr. Harry went to the bank today to set up an escrow account. Wilson also wanted to speak to the president of the bank regarding Walter's loan. In his opinion, companies that can't pay back their debts should not be given more loans just based on past connections and affiliations. 

The president was shocked and angry when he heard about the financial situation of Williams's Group. He cancelled his meeting with Williams's Group which was originally going to be held this afternoon.

Wilson flipped through the magazine in his hand and said, "Simon, check if Alina had encountered any trouble!"

"Okay!" Simon answered as he drove.

"Mr. Harry will be having a party tomorrow to celebrate his daughter's return. I'm going to attend so rearrange my schedule accordingly!"

"Alright."

"Williams's Group loan meeting was cancelled so Walter couldn't get the loan of 500 million dollars now. I want you to spread rumours such as Williams's Group couldn't pay up their debts so that Walter couldn't borrow money from anyone. In addition, increase the pressure on Williams's Group so that they will go bankrupt in a month!"

Simon immediately asked, "Mr. Wilson, in our last collaboration with Williams's Group, we found out that they secretly used leftover fabric to produce clothing. Furthermore, Williams's Group had committed copyright infringement on the British brand, MEXX's logo for their design. Should I release this information as well?"

"Yes!" Wilson's eyes narrowed and his lips curled up into a sneer as he thought, "Walter, it was you who provoked me first! People in the industry called me a wolf. You should have known when a wolf gets angry, it devours everything in its path!"
