Chapter 1597
Don’t know which word in Tina’s words stimulated Cody.
He, who was still calm at first, jumped on his feet: “Tina, how do you talk? I just asked you for a favor. Do you say that I am threatening you? We grew up with each other, like you. Look at me, do you miss me that way?”
Cody’s face was wounded.
“Listening to your tone, you are quite aggrieved.” Tina looked at him blankly: “If you are just asking for help, you can just say directly, you specially asked me out and show me what you want to do with this. Did you not count yourself!”
Tina patted the piece of paper he had given her on the dining table with a “pop”.
The noise on their side was a bit loud, and the waiter who was not far away looked over here, and even politely walked over to ask.
“Sir, miss, is there anything we can help with?”
“No thanks.”
Tina declined, and her tone was milder.
The waiter left without feeling relieved.
Both Tina and Cody became quiet.
After a certain amount of time, he spoke: “Tina, I can’t help it either.”
“You have no choice, so you choose to threaten me,” she answered coldly.
“You…” Cody was angry: “I’ve said it, I’m not threatening you.”
“Then tell me where did you get this thing.” Tina insisted on asking this question.
Only by finding out where this thing came from can the matter be resolved.
“Someone sent it to me, I really don’t know where it came from.” Cody had to tell the truth.
But Tina doesn’t believe him now.
“The truth.” She still felt that Cody was lying.
“Really tell the truth, Tina, have you already begun to disbelieve me?” Cody sighed.
Tina said: “You gave this to me when you came up, and then asked me to help. How do you make me believe you?”
Cody’s mentality also collapsed: “If I ask you to help me, will you help directly?”
“As long as I can do it, I will naturally help you, Cody, in your heart, how fragile the friendship we grew up together is? Or is it that, in your heart, I and Peter are narrow-minded villains?”
Tina always felt that the attitude shown by her and Peter was obvious, as long as Cody spoke, they would definitely help.
But Cody didn’t believe them.
He took the thing she cared about most and asked her to help.
Is this what a friend should do?
Is this help?
This is the threat.
After a long while, Cody denied: “I didn’t.”
However, in this denial, there is still some distrust.
Tina understood, Cody didn’t believe them anymore.
He doesn’t believe them anymore, it’s no use saying more.
“What happened to you?” Tina felt that Cody might have encountered something last time.
But she didn’t wait until Cody took the initiative to speak.
Later, she stayed in the hospital again and forgot about it.
Had it not been for Cody to come to her door, she might really be unable to remember him.
“Our family’s capital chain is about to break, and we need a large amount of funds urgently. If we don’t have this fund, our family will really be over, Tina, can you talk to Peter and let him help me…”
As Cody said, he hugged his head in pain: “I really didn’t expect this to happen.”
Chapter 1598
“The capital chain is broken?” Tina looked at him incredulously, “Why? How long have you been back? Now that the market is sluggish, your Scott family has been affected, but this is not the case?”
The roots of the Scott family are really deep, and the family is the brightest group in the family that has climbed up at a time.
In normal business dealings, there are fixed partners. Maintaining normal operations is not a problem, but it will not be as profitable as before.
“I don’t know how this happened…” Cody just shook his head, unable to say anything.
Tina looked at his state not quite right, as if he was under too much mental pressure.
She couldn’t bear to ask him: “How big is the gap?”
Cody: “800 million.”
“So much?” Tina felt it was not simple: “Mr. Scott, did you not tell me the truth?”
“I…” Cody hesitated, with a hesitant expression.
“You can tell me if you think about it clearly.” Tina felt that Cody’s state would have no result even if the discussion continued.
She didn’t know what Cody was doing.
Why did he make the Scott family like this?
She stood up, still holding the piece of paper Cody gave her just now: “And this, I really don’t want Peter to know, but you want to use it to threaten me, that’s impossible. If you really want to tell him, just tell him.”
She can accept a friend’s request for help, but she cannot accept being threatened.
Cody looked embarrassed, looking at Tina, unable to speak.
After she got up, she did not leave directly, but went to the bathroom.
She stood in front of the toilet, tore the piece of paper Cody had just given her into pieces, pressed the flush button, and watched the shredded paper being washed away by the toilet little by little before turning around.
She washed her hands and looked up at herself in the mirror, a little weary.
She suddenly felt very tired, and wanted to see Peter.
She took out her cell phone and called him.
But the call did not get through, and a mechanical female voice came from the phone.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.”
The phone rang until it turned off automatically.
Tina didn’t even remember, when was the last time he didn’t answer her phone.
The mood that was originally a bit bad has become worse.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, put the phone back in her bag, and walked outside.
When she reached the hall, she saw a man and a woman walking outside in front of her.
Man is tall, women is thin and petite.
Although it is only a back view, it can be seen that both of them have good temperaments.
When the man was talking with the woman, he tilted his head slightly, revealing a handsome profile face, serious and focused.
She didn’t know what the girl said, he frowned slightly, and then the girl said something again. He curled his lower lips and smiled.
Tina followed them and walked outside.
Until the girl got into a car and left, the man took out his mobile phone and dialed a number and put the phone to his ear.
Her phone rang in the next second.
She stood in the shadow, where the man could not see, and answered the phone.
She heard the calm voice: “Hello.”
“What’s wrong? Did you miss me? I’m still working overtime at the company.”
Tina looked at the man calling not far away, and asked softly, “Are you really working overtime?”
The man not far away smiled and said to the phone: “Yes.”
