Chapter 303
Something's Wrong
Benjamin looked at Harper, a little surprised because she had never taken the initiative to ask for his help after so many things had happened. He didn't expect her to come to him. He asked, "What favor?"
Harper pressed her lips slightly and thought about how to say it.
In Mayby, Benjamin had great authority. Both good and bad guys would show him some respect. At this time, she could only ask him for help.
Harper was silent briefly and said, "Can you talk to the creditors collecting debts from the Mitchell Group and ask them to give the Mitchell Group and the Mitchell family more time? Especially now that the news of my dad's hospitalization has spread, they will try every means to get the money they are owed. I'm worried that it will be bad for his health. Dr. Gene also said that if he is stimulated again, the consequences may be disastrous."
Benjamin stared at her for a few seconds and asked, "You still can't bear to see the Mitchell family suffer?"
Harper shook her head.
She said, "No. I just don't want anyone to give the Mitchell family a hard time when they're down. After all, the debt will be paid back. If the creditors give them more time, it can temporarily reduce the Mitchell family's stress." Actually, Harper thought that if she had agreed to Jack's request and asked Benjamin to help restore the project, such a thing probably wouldn't have happened.
But all help was only temporary. If the Mitchell family didn't face it, it would be far more serious than it was now when things blew up.
Benjamin agreed.
He said, "I'll ask Curtis to make arrangements immediately. Don't worry."
"Okay, thank you," Harper said.
Benjamin smiled faintly. He had to say that he really didn't want to hear her say thanks.
Curtis quickly contacted all of the Mitchell Group's creditors. In addition, he arranged for people to take turns guarding the hospital ward 24 hours a day and preventing anyone except family members from entering.
However, Curtis discovered
something strange when he
contacted those creditors. He rushed back to the company and reported to Benjamin truthfully, "Mr. Martin, the interest on the debt owed by the Mitchell Group is very high, which means that all the repayment after the debt is owed is interest, and the principal of the debt has never been paid."
Benjamin frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Have you checked the contract?"
"Yes. They are all signed by Mr. Mitchell, but don't you think it's wired?"
"Why is that weird?" Benjamin glanced at Curtis with an expressionless look.
Curtis said, "Why did Mr. Mitchell sign those unequal contracts? It is natural to repay debts, but it has been two or three years, and all he has paid is interest. It's more than the principal. Didn't Mr. Mitchell know?"
"Do you think he didn't know?" Benjamin remained calm.
Curtis was slightly stunned and said in a low voice, "I think he knew. Otherwise, why would he sign?"
"Since he knew it and signed the contracts, why did he accept it?" said Benjamin.
"Yeah. Why?" Curtis repeated Benjamin's words. The more he spoke, the clearer his mind became. He blurted out, "Unless he were deceived from the beginning?"
After Curtis said it, he realized it.
He was shocked while Benjamin was collected as if he had guessed it.
Benjamin said, "Find someone to keep an eye on the Mitchell Group secretly. It's more likely for employees to cause trouble and seek profits at this time." "Yes, I'm on it."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Curtis nodded and left the office.
Benjamin had a sullen face. If the
Mitchell family's affairs were as he had guessed, it might not be just a fundamental issue for the company but also involved other things.

Otherwise, how could Jack not have discovered what the problem was until now?
