Chapter 20
After Coby returned to the company, he once again got into a fight with Kiana.
And at that moment, several clients and shareholders happened to arrive at the company, only to be greeted with such a
disgraceful scene.
What’s worse, there was also a major shareholder who got injured and was taken to the hospital as a result.
After this series of actions, the customers shook their heads and left directly, while several shareholders were furious and
immediately announced their intention to withdraw their investment.
The company instantly became a mess.
Due to the withdrawal of shareholders and the departure of clients, there was a lack of funds, and materials could not be
delivered to the construction site on time, resulting in the abandonment of the project.
After the first party failed to pay the final installment, the workers started to cause trouble again, and even arranged to go
up to the rooftop.
At one point, Tristian was extremely busy.
Watching a series of scandals from the Eldred Group, Frank satisfactorily took a sip of tea.
He never had time to bother Emerson anymore.
In order to regain these customers and shareholders.
Tristian had to swallow his pride and go around pleading for favors.
This finally made a few of them relax and agree to accept his reward.
At the dining table, a customer displayed a table full of strong liquor, laughing and looking at him with eyes that couldn’t
be seen.
“Mr. Eldred, if you were to finish all the drinks on this table, I would consider resupplying the materials.”
Tristian looked at the table full of strong liquor and felt a tremor in his heart.
He hadn’t drunk so much alcohol for a long time.
During the period when the company went public, he was busy socializing all day, which often resulted in not only smelling of alcohol but also having stomach problems.
Emerson felt great sympathy and often accompanied him to socialize together, in order to relieve the pressure.
But now, the companions for drinking are no longer here.
He closed his eyes and picked up a bottle, then poured it into his mouth.
Soon, he threw away the empty bottle and picked up another one again.

The customer on the side couldn’t help but clap his hands and said, “Mr. Eldred, well done!”
Finally, Tristian couldn’t drink anymore and had to run to the bathroom to stick his finger down his throat and induce
vomiting.
After vomiting, he sat down on the floor with a red face and a dazed look in his eyes.
Suddenly, I remembered a day from a long time ago.
He also sat on the ground in such a miserable state.
The next moment, Emerson pushed the door open and, while wiping the vomit off his body, he also forced him to drink
sobering soup.
To make him more comfortable.
At that time, her eyes were full of tenderness.
He raised his hand in a blurry manner, wanting to touch her face.
As soon as they touched, the person in front of their eyes instantly vanished into thin air like smoke.
He suddenly realized that all of this had been his imagination.
There was a banging sound outside the door, and the anxious voice of the assistant could be heard.
“Mr. Eldred, Mr. Eldred, how are you?”
“They said if you don’t come out soon, they will leave!”
Thinking of those customers, Tristian struggled to get up from the ground.
“I will be right there.”
He stumbled and leaned against the wall as he walked towards the private room, but due to blurred vision, he accidentally bumped into someone.
The other person was also irritable and immediately cursed a few dirty words.
“You were fucking blind!”
“Do you know who I am? Dare to bump into me, you fucking looking for death!”
Alcohol emboldened him, let alone the fact that Tristian’s mind was completely unclear at the moment.
He immediately went up and started beating him. “Get out of here!”
The other party was not a pushover either, and immediately waved their hand behind them.
A group of people fought and ended up in the police station.
“Mr. Eldred, if you wanted to leave, you could, but you had to make a phone call to have someone bail you out and sign the papers.”

In the face of Tristian’s yelling and shouting, the police officer across from him had a look of nonchalance.
Tristian remembered the unfinished social engagement, and he plopped back onto the chair with a thud, irritably taking
