Chapter 329 Barclay is in Trouble
Nydia almost laughed out loud when she heard Jesse’s words. He was as sarcastic as ever.
“How come you answered my call?” Nydia realized it was her own phone.
“Can’t I answer it?”
“Well, it’s just that I didn’t expect us to be so harmonious.”
Upon hearing this, Jesse’s face turned dark, and then he turned over and continued sleeping. The two children were not disturbed and slept soundly.
Nydia had gotten used to Jesse’s ups and downs. She thought that maybe it was the calm before the divorce. After all, everything had been settled, and there was nothing left to argue about. They should just get along well during these last three months.
Several days of heavy rain caused severe flooding, with water accumulating everywhere. In some places, the water flowed rapidly, and some people were accidentally swept away and went missing.
At this time, it was better to stay at home and avoid going out, or it was easy to get into trouble.
“Jesse, is everything okay with your mother?” Nydia asked.
“She’s fine. I’ve told my sister and father about this matter, and I didn’t let them go out,” Jesse said. They must have listened to him.
“We still need to organize some rescue operations and donate some supplies.”
“I’ve already arranged for it,” Jesse said.
At this time, the rescue teams were the busiest and most hardworking. They were practically in the water all day, rushing around to save people.
“After this is over, why don’t you sponsor some equipment for the rescue team? And some clothes, or you can donate some money to provide them with more bonuses and benefits,” Nydia suggested.
Jesse was slightly surprised by Nydia’s words. He didn’t expect her to say that.
Nydia saw that he didn’t agree and said, “I’ll contribute some money in your name.”
“Why?”
“I don’t have anything to publicize at the moment, but you’re different. You represent the Pascall family, and you can do good things and get publicity.”
Jesse was about to say that they were about to get a divorce, but he thought of the two children here and didn’t say anything.
“How much do you plan to contribute?” he asked.
Nydia calculated her money. She had received more than three million from the Malone Group and 2. 5 million from Jesse.
Cough cough! 2. 5 million…
“I’ll contribute five million,” Nydia said.
She still needed money for many things, and most of the things hadn’t started making a profit yet. She couldn’t take out too much money. She didn’t want to touch the compensation her parents had left her for now.
Jesse nodded.
Then he thought of something and his lips curved slightly, “Barclay is probably in for a rough time this time.”
“He should be. His goods are probably all soaked. If I remember correctly, it’s almost time for delivery,” Nydia said, unsurprised. In her past life, Barclay didn’t get this order, but he still lost a lot of goods. This time it was even worse.
“I heard that he forced the workers to come back to work overtime, and now several workers are missing.”
“What?” Nydia was immediately angry. “Is he crazy? He’s calling people back to work at a time like this? How could they be willing to come back? Are they asking to die?”
“Because Barclay said he’d fire them if they didn’t come back.”
Trash!
Nydia cursed angrily.
She would make sure that Barclay would have nothing for the rest of his life!
The rain stopped and the sun came out, but the streets were already a mess. The flood damage from this storm was quite severe, and there were deaths, so the higher-ups were taking it very seriously.
At this point, Barclay couldn’t manage anything else, he just wanted to deliver the goods. There were less than seven days left until the delivery deadline, and he couldn’t gather so much goods.
He went to ask Cade for help.
“Father-in-law, you have to help me with this, otherwise the loss will be too great. It will take a long time to make up for this deficit, and Willette will suffer with me.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Cade frowned. He could tell that Barclay was threatening him.
“Barclay, how did you phrase it when Willette was trapped in the rain and you needed to figure out how to pick her up?”
“Is Willette okay now? At the time, the situation was urgent, and I was trying to salvage the goods. I only told her to be careful and she misunderstood,” Barclay explained.
Cade sneered, “Really? Weren’t you telling her to go die?”
“How could I say that? I was in a hurry and kept urging the workers. I must have been scolding them, and Willette heard me wrong.”
Cade found the explanation quite reasonable, given the urgency of the situation, it was quite possible to scold the workers.
“Nobody wants something like this to happen, but how can I help you with these goods? The machines are the machines, even if we work three shifts, we can’t make it in time,” Cade said.
“As long as you’re willing to help me, I’ll go over and negotiate with them to extend the delivery deadline.”
“I’ll think about it.” Cade had his own losses to consider and wasn’t happy to help Barclay. But now that his daughter had married Barclay, he had no choice but to help. “Let’s have dinner first.”
Willette didn’t say much when she saw Barclay still holding a grudge. After Cade and Barclay explained the situation to her, she reluctantly accepted it, but she still couldn’t forget the night of their wedding when Barclay had grabbed her neck.
“Willette, come home with me,” Barclay smiled at Willette.
“I want to stay at my parents’ house recently,” Willette didn’t want to go back. She was really afraid that Barclay would hit her again.
“Okay, then stay here for these few days. I’m busy and don’t have time to take care of you. I’ll come to pick you up after I finish this busy period.”
Willette was surprised that Barclay agreed. She wondered if Barclay still cared about her. Was it because of Jasper’s behavior that he was angry before?
Barclay left the Malone family and went to work for the client, eating, and giving gifts. The delivery time was delayed due to uncontrollable factors.
However, the situation on this side was just about to settle down, but he became a hot topic on Twitter!
The Twitter trending topic was: Heartless capital feeds on human blood!
When clicking on it, it was Barclay who made workers come back to work overtime or be fired.
If it was just this one thing, it would be okay, at most just being condemned. However, three workers who came back were swept away by a flood and still missing.
There was a video of one worker’s family member being interviewed, crying bitterly while holding a two-year-old child in her arms.
“I didn’t allow my husband to go, but the boss said he would be fired if he didn’t go. We are poor, and we have two children, one is in primary school, and the other is still in my arms. We can’t lose this job, so he went. Now he can’t be found. If something happens to him, how can I live? How can I support two children alone?”
It was a very simple mother and daughter image, with dark skin, wrinkles, and black spots. The hair was messy and tied behind the head. The child in her arms kept eating her fingers with dirty face.
Soon, another trending topic came up on Twitter with the title: Barclay, are you even human?!
Barclay felt his vision blur when he saw this. The troubles never come singly.
However, what made him even more desperate was that under his Twitter trending topic, there was Jesse’s trending topic. He originally thought that Jesse was a negative trending topic, being cursed by people. But when he looked at it, he almost couldn’t stand still.
Jesse donated 20 million materials for disaster relief.
