Chapter 479 (1/2)
Charles bar, Texas.
Howard, who used to be in high spirits, is much older now. He has to cough at a word, as if he is dying.
”Tony, I'm sorry.”
In the face of his son's consolation, Howard cried bitterly: ”the glory of Texas's largest farmer is about to change. I'm a jerk. I've got your mother and son involved... ”
Goo Doo Doo!
As he spoke, Howard picked up the whisky from the table and poured it carelessly down his throat. Before long, he was drunk and unconscious.
”What happened?”
Tony, who just came back from school, looks at Clark in a fog, hoping he can answer his doubts.
Clark patted Tony on the head and said, ”Tony, your father is bankrupt.”
”He was cheated by a stockbroker and bought a pile of junk stock on the mortgage farm. Now that the U.S. stock market is out of business and the bank is calling for debt, that's what your father has become. ”
”That's too bad!”
Charles, who was mixing wine at the bar, added: ”Howard is said to have lost hundreds of millions of dollars this time.”
My family is broke?
The huge impact made Tony fall into a short period of petrification. After a moment's hesitation, he asked again, ”the commander said he would make America great again! Will he save the market if the stock falls like this? ”
”It's no use...”
Clark said with a wry smile: ”even if there are rescue measures, it will be next week or even next week. The bank will not give your father a chance to breathe.”
”I'm going to talk to my mother!”
Tony heard this, looked at the drunk Howard and said to Clark, ”Uncle Clark, please take care of dad.”
”Well, you go.”
When Tony left like a whirlwind, it was certain that he would not return for the time being. The drunk Howard suddenly opened his eyes and said, ”fack, Charles, what did you drink for me? My stomach is very uncomfortable
”Sweet boiled water! Do you like it? ”
”You're such a jerk that you've come up with such a trick for little Tony,” Charles teased
”It's not a joke!”
Howard took the towel from Clark, wiped his face and said, ”damn PD, he sucks Tony's blood every day. I don't want Tony holding the 4WD and telling me he wants to be a racing driver! ”
”I hope so.”
When it comes to PD, Charles is speechless.
Howard used to be, what a tough atmosphere. But since the birth of PD company, Howard, who is eager to protect his son, immediately becomes nervous.
”What do you think Tony will do when he comes home?”
”Help mom?”
”Shed tears of regret?”
”Repent to God, then smash the PD toys in the room, and then make a new face?”
As the three men chatted, Clark suddenly thought of a possibility and asked in a voice, ”Howard, is there anything valuable in your family other than cash? Such as art, jewelry. ”
”Yes
Howard boasted: ”there are many valuable works of art in my basement. And a box of gold bars, enough to arm half a battalion of bullet weapons. ”
As he said that, his voice suddenly weakened by three points. Under the joking eyes of Clark and Charles, he said with a smile: ”Tony is very sensible. He can't move this...”
”Do you believe it yourself?”
”Shepard!”
Howard swung the bottle and left Charles's bar at a brisk pace.
