Love after Betrayal (Casper and Natalie)

Love After Betrayal Chapter 14

Natalie thought that since she had decided to give birth to the triplets, she had to take their future into

consideration. Her mother had left a will stating that she could legally inherit the company upon

reaching 18 years of age. However, Logan had been refusing to hand the company over to her over the

past few years, nor had he gone through the legal procedures according to the will. Now, it was time to

take back everything that belonged to her. She took out her cell phone, but just as she wanted to make

a phone call, she received a phone call, which she answered. The caller was Alexis Weissman, who

was the assistant general manager of her mother’s company. She had met him several times before,

but she didn’t know him very well. “Where are you, Natalie? Something bad happened. Logan and his

family absconded with the company’s funds! I’ve reported it to the police, but the police said that they

had left the country for Zuflar, which has no extradition treaty with our country, so they can’t arrest them

for the time being. But now, the company is caught in a huge debt crisis… Natalie, could you come to

the company right now so that we can talk about it face to face?” After hesitating for a moment, Natalie

replied, “Okay. I’ll be there right away.” She had planned to ask Logan for her shares and the company,

but little did she think such a thing would happen. Logan absconded with the money, huh? Seems like

he’s long planned to run away, she thought. Immediately, she hailed a taxi to the company. … At the

Hartwell Corporation’s building, the president’s office was in a mess as Alexis and some of the

company’s senior executives were rummaging for something. Looking as black as thunder, all of them

were livid with rage. Knock! Knock! Natalie knocked on the door. “Mr. Weissman, I’m coming in.” Upon

seeing her, Alexis instantly got emotional. “You’re here, Natalie… Come on, let me introduce some

people to you. These people are all senior executives of the company who just hurried here after

learning of what had happened.” Alexis then proceeded to a brief account of the company’s present

situation. The company left behind by Natalie’s mother specialized in the research and development of

alternative fuel vehicles. The company used to have a high market value, but Logan didn’t know at all

how to manage and run the company, causing the company’s revenue to fall below the minimum for a

time. And now, in just a few months, Logan had embezzled all the company’s funds, converted them

into one billion in cash, and absconded with the money with his family! “… In other words, apart from

the embezzled three billion, the company currently has a debt of at least one billion, though the finance

department is still calculating the exact amount. If word gets out about this, our employees will be in a

panic. Natalie, you have to come forward and stabilize the whole situation at such a time!” Alexis said

with a sigh. The few other senior executives agreed with his words. Natalie didn’t know much about

how to manage a company, but she understood what Alexis’ words meant. To put it bluntly, Alexis had

called her back at this hour because he wanted her to take it upon herself to take over the company

and its debts. But how was she supposed to deal with a debt of at least one billion? The Hartwell

Corporation was the fruit of her mother’s painstaking work, so she didn’t want to give it up. And

besides, she had planned to manage the company properly after getting divorced and taking the

company over. It was just that she didn’t expect the current situation, so she had to think carefully

about it. After a brief silence, she said, “Mr. Weissman, don’t worry about this first. I still don’t quite

understand the company’s situation. Please tell me the company’s situation in detail, as well as the

company’s current main projects.” Alexis finally saw a glimmer of hope. “Alright, Natalie! Currently, the

company…” … The Langston Group’s building towered into the sky in Kaiton. Its top floor was hardly

discernible among the clouds, whereas its huge logo glittered in the sunshine. At the president’s office,

Tyler put the findings of his investigation in front of Casper. He said, “We’ve found out that the Hartwell

Corporation originally started out as W Technology. Over 20 years ago, W Technology was working on

the research and development of new energy technology and hired many top scientists and

professionals with high salaries from abroad. Not long after that, though, W Technology changed its

name to Hartwell Corporation. Logan Hartwell took over the company after his wife had a difficult labor

and died 18 years ago, but he knew nothing about the company’s management and technology, so the

company began to go downhill. Two years ago, Logan began to transfer the company’s assets under Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

various names, embezzling billions of funds from the company and leaving behind a debt of about one

billion. Not only that, but he and his family absconded with the money 12 hours ago.” Then, he checked

the time. “They probably have landed in Zuflar by now. Mr. Langston, do we need to help Madam bring

them back?” Zuflar had no extradition treaty with the country. However, with Casper’s capabilities, it

was as easy as pie to bring back whoever he wanted to bring back from Zuflar. Casper took a sip of his

coffee. Then, he asked impassively, “Do you have nothing else to do?” “No, that’s not it. In that case…

are we gonna do nothing about this for the time being?” Casper didn’t say a word. Not understanding

what his silence meant, Tyler had no choice but to continue reporting other things. An hour later, Tyler

finished reporting everything. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly paused in his tracks, asking,

“By the way, Mr. Langston, Miss Maxwell has returned to the country. It’ll be her birthday three days

later. Do we have to prepare a birthday gift and throw a birthday party for her?”
