Chapter 214
At that moment, Phineas and Matt were in the Brooks Manor living room.
“Dad, do you think Big Bucks Brooks will lend us money?” Mall glanced around, looking worried.
“Big Bucks Brooks is filthy rich and generous to boot. He’s always had a good relationship with our family. It
shouldn’t be a problem to borrow some money,” Phineas said, raising his cup and taking a sip. It was obvious that
he was very confident.
Although the Lacey family hadn’t been restored to its previous glory, they were still above the average person.
Outside, they still had some status.
“If it weren’t for our family’s capital chain rupture causing our businesses to suffer majorly, we would never have to
borrow money from others,” Matt said, sighing.
Not long ago, they’d suddenly received terrible news.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMany of their big–shot partners had retracted their investments. All the business deals they’d made previously
had gone bust.
Their entire family suffered serious damage overnight.
Now, they desperately needed a capital injection, or else the Lacey family would go bankrupt in less than a
month.
At this point, the only one who could help them was Big Bucks Brooks.
“Speaking of that, it’s really strange how all of the investments were retracted collectively, and disaster struck from
all sides. I bet somebody’s targeting our family,” Phineas rubbed his chin in thought.
“Who’s gutsy enough to go mess with our family?” Matt slammed his palm into the table.
Their original plan was to get the Immortunol formula in their hands and then use the investment funds to
conduct their own research.
This way, the Lacey family would be restored to their former glory!
However, after everything that had happened, their plan was ruined.
“We still haven’t been able to look into it yet. Once we raise the funds we need and get through these tough times,
we’ll drag that bastard out!” An evil glint flashed through Phineas‘ eyes.
“Dad, how much money does our family need to operate normally?” Matt asked uncertainly.
“At least three billion dollars!” Phineas put up three fingers.
“That much?” Matt’s expression drooped. “Would Big Bucks Brooks agree to loan us three billion in one go?”
“Big Bucks Brooks controls one–third of all the cash flow in Millsburg. What’re three billion dollars to him?” Phineas
took a sip of tea and said casually, “Not to mention, I even came here personally. Would he dare to say no? He
should be happy that our family is cozying up to him on our own accord instead.”

“That’s true.” Hearing those words, Matt let out a sigh of relief.
The Laney family did have prestige out there; Big Bucks Brooks had to give them some respect.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the two were speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a few people entered.
The one in the lead was none other than Roderick.
The moment they met. Phineas stood up and extended a hand, his face full of smiles. “Hey, Mr. Brooks! Long time
no see. You’ve gotten much more handsome!”
However, when he saw Dustin behind Roderick, his smile froze on his face. “Punk, what are you doing here?!”
“You’re here, so why can’t I be here too?” Dustin retorted indifferently.
“Hmph! And who are you? Can you even be compared to us?” Phineas” expression turned cold instantly.
“Dustin, are you here to also get a loan from Mr. Brooks?” Matt said with a suspicious look.
“Why I’m here doesn’t concern you.” Dustin’s expression remained unchanged.
“Mr. Brooks, we’ve always been friendly with each other. Don’t lend that punk any money! We have bad blood!”
Phineas said, calling a spade a spade.
In his eyes. Roderick would never go against the Laney family for a small fry.
So, he definitely won today.
“Phineas, are you sure that you have bad blood with Mr. Rhys?” Roderick smirked coolly.
“Of course!” Phineas puffed out his chest. “Mr. Brooks, to be frank, the two grudges I have with him can never be
solved, so please don’t try to lobby for him!
