Chapter 558
The sound of paper flipping was especially obvious in the silent conference room. For those who had a guilty conscience, the sound undoubtedly made their hearts race even faster. Every page flipped meant that more mistakes would be discovered.
A few of them had already begun to wipe their sweat. It was akin to a confession.
Joseph, on the other hand, was free. He even turned on the timer on his phone to increase the anxiety in the room.
Christina felt that the man was really bad. When he didn’t say a word, it was even scarier than being scolded.
Half an hour later, a man couldn’t take it anymore and called for a halt. “Mr. Turner, I’ll turn myself in. I’ve falsely reported the expenses for a business trip, as well as the fuel fees and…”
Joseph listened with interest, but he still did not speak. After a while, he said, “You’re quite smart. It’s a waste of your talent for you to remain in the Turner Corporation. You can find somewhere else.”
“Quinn, you’ll handle the rest. Pat, you’ll assist her. Write down the list of names. The Turner Corporation will never hire them again.”
After saying that, he held Christina’s hand and walked out. He was not interested in watching anymore.
Outside the door, Christina asked, “Have you actually prepared the evidence long ago? Then why did you do this today? Isn’t it unnecessary?”
Joseph gave a beautiful smile and said in all seriousness, “Aren’t you bored? I added more drama to it to relieve your boredom.”
Christina stared at him.
Joseph had already given an order to Quinn in advance. All those who had embezzled or falsified their reports would be fired. He also requested that the amount of the company’s funds be returned. This would be a warning to others. If they did not do so and those responsible did not return the money, more people would take a chance in the future.
One thought can make the difference between good intentions and evil intentions.
After such a clean-up, those who had some ulterior motives within the company could not help but start to become more cautious.

A few months had passed, and there was only a week left before Christina’s due date.
At the Yamin family’s villa, Angie stood downstairs with her hands on her hips. She looked at her son with disappointment. “Are you really not going? Can’t you let go of your hospital matters? Will the hospital shut down without you performing the surgery?”
It was not that Chris did not want to go to Sapphire City. It was just that the patient’s surgery had long been scheduled. If someone else were to perform the surgery at the last minute, they would definitely have objections. “The surgery was scheduled some time ago. I’ll tell Christina. You guys go.”
Charlie sighed. There was no hope for his son. Chris could just get married to the operating theater for the rest of his life. He could not even leave for a day. Charlie really wanted to suggest that he did not have to come back at night. “Alright. Let him be. Even if you drag him there, his heart is still on the surgery. Why drag someone who does not want to be there?”
Stella dragged a large suitcase downstairs. Charlie stepped forward to pick it up. Angie glanced at the white suitcase. It belonged to Christina. “We’re going to see your sister, not going on a vacation. Why did you pack such a big suitcase?”
Stella was panting. She was planning to go on a vacation. Ever since she worked under Leia, it had been hell on earth for her. Now that there was such a good opportunity to escape, of course, she had to play for a few days. “Joseph asked me to take a few days off to go to Sapphire City. I have to listen to him.”
As expected, Angie didn’t say anything else. She just glared at her daughter in dissatisfaction.
Charlie said, “Come on. Let’s go. Don’t delay. Joseph said that the plane was already waiting.”
Because Chris couldn’t go, he wanted to send his parents off. He quickly strode out of the door, opened the car door, and placed the suitcases inside. “I’ll send you guys off. After that, I’ll go to the hospital. It’s on the way.”
Angie took a deep breath. How could she have such a foolish son? “What are you saying? Do you mean that if it’s not on the way, you will not go out of the way? Alright. I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to argue with you.”

Chris kept his mouth shut. He was just being honest. It was really on the
way.
Stella was astute after she worked under Leia for a period of time. She was now very proficient at surviving. It was best to pretend to be invisible when one didn’t want to be implicated. It was best to shut up and have a proper attitude when one made mistakes.
At this moment, she was invisible. No matter what her mother said about her brother, she remained silent. She was afraid that her mother would turn on her next.
She very much cherished her life.
When Stella got on the plane, she was unusually awake and excited. Angie, on the other hand, was a little sleepy. At this moment, her eyelids had already started to flutter. In the end, she could not help but follow her heart and close her eyes.
“Wow! I feel like I’m stepping on clouds. I can touch it with a stretch of my foot. No wonder Christina likes to take the plane so much. It’s so beautiful.”
Stella sat alone at the side and looked at the scenery outside the plane excitedly. Angie, who had just closed her eyes, was shocked by her daughter’s surprised tone. She opened her eyes and reprimanded, “Can you look with your eyes? Don’t look with your mouth.”
“But we have to express our emotions after looking at it. In the past, when our teacher took us out for an excursion, we would have to write a journal entry after we came back.”
Angie let out a breath. She was very sleepy. Last night, when she received a call from her son-in-law, she was so excited that she could not sleep. Now, she felt sleepy. “You can look at the scenery quietly. I’m not asking you to write anything, okay?”
“Alright. But why do you prefer to sleep when there’s such beautiful scenery outside? What a pity,” Stella leaned against the window and muttered softly. Angie had already fallen asleep and did not reply to her. A few hours later, the plane arrived at Sapphire Airport. Joseph was wearing a beige color windbreaker and was waiting at the airport. When he saw them coming out, he quickly went up to them and took the initiative to take their suitcases. “Angie, Charlie, Stella. Welcome to Sapphire City.”
“Hello, Joseph. Where’s my sister?”
