"Miss Becker is here!" Mr. Claymont guided Jessica into the conference room.
Inside the room were already several familiar faces. "Miss Becker, have you received 5 million yuan in your account?" The Head of Internal Audit questioned Jessica.
"Yes, I have, but I—" don't know how the money got into the account?
Did the company make a transfer error?
"You've admitted it. Miss Becker, what do you think you call this one of your actions? How shameless of you!" Mr. Claymont shouted angrily.
This seems to have taken a serious turn as the internal audit board stepped in.
"Miss Becker, I have received a report that you committed money laundering and you just admitted that you received the money." The head of the internal audit felt complicated as he looked at Jessica, there was disbelief in the corner of his eye.He thought someone working on the direct recommendation of the Weisberg family should be able to keep their bearings.
"I did receive the money, but I really don't know why they got there."
"Don't pretend you don't know. Do you think you're smart enough? You faked the foundation's proposal and got Miss Weisberg to agree to it. You planned this beforehand, didn't you?"
Proposal? Jessica didn't even know what kind of proposal Mr. Claymont was referring to.
"I heard the internal audit board called Jessica over. What is all this about?" Alicia appeared later with another assistant.
The internal audit had not summoned Alicia because they wanted to prosecute Jessica first.
"Miss Weisberg, when we were doing the audit process we found some funds that were embezzled into Miss Becker's account. She even used the Foundation's proposal to get the money."
"What are you guys talking about, Jessica can't possibly do something like that." Alicia stepped forward to defend Jessica..
"We also don't believe this is Miss Becker, but we have evidence that Miss Becker has embezzled funds under the guise of a mere program by the foundation." Mr. Claymont shifted the documents that he claimed were evidence of embezzlement of funds.
"Is it true?" Alicia take a look at one of them. That's a proposal from the Falcon Foundation. There's even a sign there. Alicia had approved the document herself.
"Isn't this the proposal I submitted two weeks ago?" Alicia sued Jessica for an explanation.
Jessica looked at the document. Shee remembered that it was a proposal that the chairman of the foundation had given her. Jessica had checked the document before she gave it to Alicia. There shouldn't be anything wrong with them.
Nowt on a page of the proposal appeared Jessica's account number as the recipient of the funds where should be the foundation's account number.
NO! No way, how the account number got there?
"Miss Becker, what other proper explanation for this case?"
Jessica's face wrinkled, not knowing what rebuttal to say anymore. There is documentary evidence and the money has entered her account.
"We can't let this be, Miss Weisberg. Even if the value of this money is not too big for us, Miss Becker's actions are still a crime. She has committed money laundering. She tricked you into signing the funding documents that the Fang Foundation was supposed to receive and transferred the money to her account.
"That woman is so ungrateful. She should be ashamed to show her face in front of you. How can she act like this after all the trust you put in her Miss Weisberg?"
"No. I've never made seeing such documents, Miss Weisberg."
"This document is genuine, has passed some offiacal and shorting by you then you gave it directly to Miss Weisberg. Didn't Miss Weisberg only sign the document that you checked? We even found a softcopy of the file as data hidden in your computer."
"After all this evidence you're still trying to dodge it?"
How could Jessica dare to do such a despicable thing for just a certain amount of money? Even if Jessica was planning to trick Alicia, why would he only withdraw 5 million yuan?
…
In Alicia's room,
"Miss Weisberg, I swear I've never done anything like this."
"You think the internal audit board would believe you just because you said you didn't?"
"Miss Weisberg, what do you mean?" Jessica couldn't believe what she heard. A moment ago Alicia defended her. Now, a moment later she pushed all the blame on her
Was this Alicia's doing?
"Miss Weisberg, what do you mean?" Just a moment ago Alicia defended her, a moment later she pushed all the blame on her. Alicia has always been a considerate sister, but it seems like she turned upside down today."You're too naive Jessie. You should do it right, if you really need that money. You can come to talk to me and I'll gladly help you." Alicia continued her words with a thoughtful exhortation. Closed the gap of suspicion that had appeared in the corner of Jessica's heart.Such a scheme… It's easy for Alicia to frame her, but why?"I—I really didn't do something like this, Miss Weisberg. Please trust me!" Jessica didn't want to beg for forgiveness like this, she was completely innocent."Well, say you didn't do this, then how do you explain the existence of that five million dollars on your account?"Jessica could think about anything but someone hacking into her bank account. This meticulous work can't just happen by a false error… they’re too specific. "Okay, for now y
"Could it be… Mr. Weisberg?" "You know it can’t be helped, right? I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this." Alicia shows her regret about his father's 'doings'. As if to confirm that Jessica was indeed trapped by Alistair Weisberg. Jessica looked at Alicia with complicated thoughts. Regarding that request that Alicia made, it was completely beyond her control. "Can't you just find another woman to do this?" "I've thought about it, I also don't want to sacrifice our friendship, but I think my father has his plans. He trusts you too much, he thinks you and Theodore are well acquainted with each other. It will be easier and faster if you are the one who handles Theodore for me." What's easy? Defeating a tiger-like Theodore would you call it easy? "Miss Weisberg, to be honest, I don't even have the confidence for this. How could I possibly attract Theodore's attention? This plan is too far-fetched." "Don't be discouraged by yourself, Jess. You have your values and I'm sure Theo
Jessica sent a message that asked Theodore to pick up Alicia. It’s a bit odd, usually Alicia would call him herself so Theodore immediately called Alicia. He made several calls but no one went through. Alicia's number was currently off.Ignoring Aaron's whining, Theodore ended up calling Jessica."Let me talk to Alicia," Theodore's stern words sounded icy as always. It was even worse because he had to call Jessica to reach Alicia. Seems like he will scold Alicia later for not picking her phone. "I'm sorry, Miss Weisberg is in the restroom. Her phone is off, so she asked me to call you. Can you come to pick us—I mean, pick her up. The driver is having trouble with the car engine. If we wait for another car from the company, it will take a while. It's getting dark here. I heard that you’re forbidding Miss Weisberg to take a ta—""Alright, that’s enough. I'll get her," Theodore took no time to think. When it comes to Alicia, he can act spontaneously and put aside everything at his han
"Take you home?" Theodore turned around angrily."Yes, I was here waiting for you. Can't you be a little responsible.""What responsibility? You're the one who stupid enough to stand here alone waiting for me. How dare you ask me to take responsibility?" That piece of the sentence was a little strange if you only heard the last sentence.The security even started glancing at Jessica and Theodore, to make sure whether the two of them were in an irresponsible lover's fight? Because she sounded like a woman who had been dumped."If you can't take me. At least, let me have a ride to the city to get the bus."Theodore had never seen Jessica possessed such courage. He didn't know she could go this far and grumble. They had never interacted or talked so casually like this. Jessica had always been polite and rather timid. What drives her to act so shamelessly?"What if I don't want to give you a ride? You can take a taxi to go home by yourself.”That was what Jessica wanted too. She also
Theodore pulled her bag and abruptly unpacked it without asking. There weren't many things that she had brought. So Theodore immediately found a small bottle of the suspicious liquid. That must be where all the smell came from."Hey, what are you doing?""You know, this thing stinks!" Theodore held the perfume bottle in front of Jessica's face.Well, I know it's not an expensive perfume.The price is probably half that of a bottle of branded perfume. But she fell in love with the fragrance when she first smelled it from the sample paper the sales offered. She didn’t contemplate too much and bought it right away. "Don't ever use this perfume ever again!" Theodore reprimanded her and threw the perfume bottle into the back seat."NO! What the hell—" Jessica turned to the back seat. Where did the perfume fall?Theodore immediately started the car, not giving Jessica a chance to find her precious perfume.Aish .. Jessica felt so lost. She just bought the perfume last week and only
"Old man, don't get in our way. Go find another place to make out!" A fat girl pushed Theodore to make a way. There are five girls behind her. There's very likely a high schooler in their fifteen or sixteen. They’re quite catchy with some kind of fan attribute attached all over their body. "Cammy, don't be rude!" Said the other girl with a big headband. "I’m sorry uncle, my friend is a bit impatient." Who do they call uncle? Theodore frowned. He’s ready to refute it but another girl shouted excitedly. "Geez, what a beauty!” The girl was stunned as she looked at Jessica's face. ”Are you a celebrity?" “No, I’m not.” Jessica's face flushed with embarrassment. “Don’t flatter me, I think I’m not that pretty.” Even though it was late at night, with the light from the convenience store, those girls could see Jessica's face clearly. They’re noisy with each other discussing whether they should ask for photos or not. "No, we’re being honest. You’re indeed as beautiful as the idol we
“Theodore!” No! It is a bit different than before. She just repeated with a loud and disrespectful tone. It sounds like an insult when Theodore realizes it. They never had a chance to call each other so casually. After all, they had never been so close before to address each other's names. What’s with the sudden change…"It seems like you are underestimating me." Theodore's hand gripped her jaw, pressing her head against the wall.It sent the chill back of her head throbbed in pain from hitting the wall. It was wrong to think Theodore will soften up. He might put bandages on her and walk her home. In reality, he was only a demon who knew how to deceive outsiders with his appearance. "I think you need to understand a few things!" Theodore pressed harder.Jessica was too scared to move under Theodore's threat. Her head also continued to throb uncomfortably. Did he finally decide to kill her tonight?What she didn't know, that man in front of her had to go through self-contradicti
She teased me first!Theodore refused to feel guilty for what he would or had done to her. Alas, he’s afraid if Aaron meant it and called Alicia now. "Don't you dare to call her! I’ll send you the number now." Theodore hung up the phone. Pressed a few features and immediately sent Jessica's contact to Aaron. After Aaron's disturbance was resolved, Theodore pushed her again into a corner. He choked her up, so that her voice was barely audible. "H—help!" Theodore was strangling her earnestly. The demon inside telling him to devour her. On second thought, Aaron's voice buzzed in his head: This would count as cheating! It reached the point where he can differentiate between the passion surging him or the frustration stirring his anger. Upon starting his relationship with Alicia, he had pledged himself to be a loyal man. So far the defense has been good. He was able to ignore the dozens of women who threw themselves at him.In the past, Theodore might have tasted a few that were ta
