"Yvonne, I know you didn't live well these few years but you don’t have to swindle money out of the company. Did you really think I can't see through your intentions just because I'm old with poor vision?” Grandmother Sue ignored Samuel's words because she did not believe the money belonged to him. It was impossible to believe so.
"Grandmother, my answer will remain the same. If you don’t trust me, you can audit the accounts any time.” Yvonne fearlessly looked at Grandmother Sue.
Grandmother Sue did not expect Yvonne to be so adamant. Yvonne could afford to be this confident because the other family members were doing the same too. Hence, she dared to ask Grandmother Sue to check the accounts. She had made a mistake herself but wanted to drag everyone down the mud.
Grandmother Sue knew very well that the consequence would be worse if the accounts were audited. The corruption figures of every family would then be exposed to everyone. It would be very clear whose family had gotten the larger pie or smaller pie. The one having the smaller pie will surely be envious and uncomfortable. They would likely think of ways t o swindle more money from the company in the future and the company would be in a mess and collapse.
"Yvonne, I didn’t expect you to be such a person, I have underestimated you all these years.” Yvonne Sue was emboldened by the fact that Grandmother Sue would not dare to audit the accounts. The step-by-step entrapping was flawless in Grandmother Sue's point o f view. She did not expect Yvonne's thinking to be so meticulous.
Previously Yvonne worked hard in the company without complaints even when she had to work on tedious tasks. Grandmother Sue thought she was a simple-minded person. She finally witnessed the fact that Yvonne was a cunning woman, and that she had a formidable and deep shrewdness within her.
She was a wolf in sheep's clothing, capable of such vicious acts.
"Grandmother! I know it's useless no matter how I explain. You won't believe me. However, what Samuel and I said is the truth."
"The truth?" Harvey spoke with a somber face. "The truth was that you have taken one million funds from the company’s accounts and refuse to admit it!"
"Harvey, shut up!" Grandmother Sue coldly admonished him.
Harvey was stunned. Grandmother Sue's attitude seemingly suggested that she was going to let Yvonne go. She must not do this! She had engaged in corruption and taken so much money from the company. This was the chance to deter Yvonne from being the person-in-charge.
The partnership with Weakriver Real Estate was finalized. In Harvey’s point of view, even if the personin-charge, Yvonne, was changed suddenly, it will be impossible for Weakriver Real Estate to back away and end their collaboration immediately. At that time, he would become the next person-in-charge once Yvonne was dismissed.
In such a short time, Yvonne had taken a million and Harvey was envious of that. To him, Yvonne flaunted and paraded her wealth publicly, and hence led to this outcome. If she were more low-profile, who would know she had done all these?
"Grandmother, if you let Yvonne go this time, how do you manage the others who'd commit the same crime i n the future?" Harvey spoke with disgruntlement.
Grandmother Sue clenched her teeth and coldly glanced toward Harvey. "Do you want me to check each of the transactions in these past few years?”
Harvey's heart sank instantly. If the accounts were audited and checked, it would be more than the amount Yvonne had taken. In the whole Su Family, he got to the highest position and so the money that he had taken from the company was undoubtedly the most. Hence, Grandmother Sue must not check the accounts! 1
