Chapter 201 Debt Collection
Maurice had lost all his patience.
He wanted to push Darcy to the brink and finish off Quintessential Group once and for all.
“Come on. We should check out the woman. She’s one gorgeous doll in Lilyrose. I’m sure she’ll be
even more captivating in a state of despair.”
Maurice strutted confidently out of the local bank with his men in tow.
The conversation went on at Quintessential Group’s office building.
“Riley, how much debt are we sitting at for each bank?”
Sinking her back against her chair behind the desk, Darcy kneaded her aching temples and asked her
assistant.
Public opinion had shifted as evident in the online comments, and Joy had paid a heavy price for her
betrayal.
However, Darcy was not happy at all.
The issue was money.
She needed money now more than ever.
With a significant number of employees resigning, panic spread within the organization.
The Quints were eager to jump ship, not caring what would happen to the family business, while work
at the construction site operated as usual, thanks to the strenuous efforts of project manager, Andy,

Without money, it was only a matter of time before the construction had to be halted.
Besides, word got out on the bank’s loan cuts and Quintessential Group’s suppliers began pressing for
payment.
The group was facing its most serious crisis in years.
Five years ago, the same tragedy struck, and the family business fell apart after Hector’s accident.
“Ms. Quint, the debt we have with Lilyrose Bank is 50 million dollars.
“Industrial and Commercial Bank, 70 million dollars.
“South Bank, 90 million dollars.
“Lockhart Bank, 70 million dollars.”
The list went on as Riley opened a folder and reported the numbers.

She had considered borrowing from other businesses.
However, Quintessential Group’s credibility was out the window after what happened. No one would
lend money to the group.
It could very well be the end of the Group.

Kaze got up from the sofa and went to fetch a glass of water. He handed Darcy the drink.
“You can do it, babe. Don’t lose hope. This will soon pass,” Kaze said
while patting her shoulder.
Darcy responded to his encouragement nonchalantly.
There was a knock on the door, and an employee walked in. “Ms.
Quint, the managing directors of various banks in Lilyrose are here. They demand that you meet them
in the lobby.”
Darcy was shocked.
Furrowing his brows, Kaze told the employee, “Tell them that they will have to get up here themselves if
they want to meet my wife.”
Darcy walked out of the office without a word.
Left without a choice, Kaze went with her.

The press was there too. Cameras flashed when Darcy appeared.
A few middle-aged individuals in suits walked out of the crowd.
They were the managing directors of various banks in Lilyrose.
“Ms. Quint, when are you going to pay back the 70 million dollars you. owe to Industrial and
Commercial Bank?” solemnly asked Yusoft, the managing director of Industrial and Commercial Bank.
“Don’t forget the 90 million dollars you owe South Bank.”
“You owe Lockhart Bank 70 million.”
The other managing directors questioned Darcy too.
They personally came to Quintessential Group’s office building to

As lights flickered furiously, Darcy turned pale in the spotlight.
Darcy drew a deep breath and replied, “There is still time before the repayment due date, Mr. Lewis.
You should know that the group has encountered some issues. Would you mind leaving for now? I will
make sure we pay what is due before the time is up.”
She said the same thing to the other bank managing directors.
“Haha. You must be joking, Ms. Quint. We have access to your corporate bank accounts. You probably
can’t raise 30 million dollars. How do you plan to pay back hundreds of millions of dollars?”
Maurice, the president of Lilyrose Bank, swaggered his way through the parted crowd.
