Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 3231
Chapter 3231 “What text?”
August instinctively looked over. The journalists curiously glanced at the contents as well.
Everyone gasped soon after. “Fifteen million dollars has been returned to the payer.”
“Fifteen million?!”
“From all the families?!”
“What the hell?!”
“What‘s going on here?!”
“August gave these families fifteen million dollars each?!” 1
“And now he‘s taking it all back?!”
A reporter who had an idea of how finances worked immediately understood what was going on.
August made an appointment to transfer the money. Logically speaking, everything would be transferred after twenty–four hours.
But after he canceled the appointment, the transfer would naturally become invalid.
While the crowd was gossiping up a storm, August‘s expression changed instantly.
“What?! I didn‘t ask for a return!”
.
“This wasn‘t me!”
“Then give the money back already!” someone exclaimed with a furious look.
“We agreed that you‘d hand over the money if we put on a show!”
“We gave our lives for this, and now you‘re taking the money away?!”
“Yeah! How dare you cast us aside when we‘re doing everything for you? You think we‘re all idiots?!”
The families were showing righteous looks on their faces, boiling with anger.
“Hand over the money already!”
“I didn‘t take the money back! This isn‘t my money, either!”
After seeing the families swarm him for the money, August, who thought he had won since the very beginning, trembled.
“I–I can‘t even give you that much money!”
“I‘m not insane!”
“If you didn‘t give us the money, why would we sell our lives for you in the first place?!” someone exclaimed. “We even signed a contract!”
“At least admit to the damn deal!”
“Yeah! We have the contract and the transfer records! Don‘t try to deny it!”
“Give us the money already! If you don‘t, we‘ll settle scores with you sooner or later!” the families exclaimed.
The families could be barely considered to be from the upper social circle, and even then, they haven‘t seen that much money their entire lives!
They didn‘t care for their own reputation as long as they could get the money! How could they let it slide when the money they worked so hard for got taken back?!
August started panicking after seeing the families on the verge of lashing out.
“I did give you money, but I only gave you seventy–six thousand dollars each!”
“That fifteen million dollars has nothing to do with me! I never planned to transfer that much money, nor did I take them back!”
“Don‘t even try to put this on me!”
“Why would I even need this much money for you to put on a show?”
“Huh?!”
The rest of the crowd could already guess what happened, but they still couldn‘t help but gasp after hearing it from August.
‘These people were all bought off?!‘
‘So Harvey York was actually innocent the entire time?!‘
“How dare you, August?! You‘re a major figure in Flutwell!”
The families were so angry, they were about to stab their knives right on August‘s head.
“You signed the contract and gave us the money for us to put on a show and force Harvey York into a corner!”
“But when things are almost set and done, you take the damn money back?!”
