Chapter 98 Calm Down and Deal with It
I nodded. Journeying from the airport to here, I had calmed down from the panic.
The middle-aged woman looked at me and said, “According to our investigation, the George Group had already conducted an audit under the public supervision just this month. You have also submitted the audit report to the Economic Web.”
I nodded and didn’t say much.
She continued, “I have read these reports and audit results, you are the one who approved most of them. Does Ms. Kennedy know about the George Group’s financial deficit?”
I frowned and did not formally answer her question, but asked, “Policewoman, may I know what you asked if it involves breaking the law?”
She shook her head and smiled slightly, “It doesn’t involve but based on these questions raised it does involve some that’s against the law. The George Group’s company owns a technology company called HY Technology Co., Ltd. Six months ago, four workers died unexpectedly due to the factory’s security measures. However, your company did not deal with this matter reasonably. On the contrary, it has concealed the issue. That forced a family of three to jump off a building and commit suicide last night, which once again caused a tragedy.”
“Four workers died unexpectedly?” I stood up from my seat in shock, “How could it be four people?”
She sneered when she saw my flustered and clueless look, “You don’t have to pretend. You are the final decision maker in the handling of these matters, you should know it better than us.”
I stared at her, I didn’t know what she was talking about, and I had no direction in my mind, “I’m not pretending. Regarding HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s affairs, I only took over for more than a month. The accident that happened in the Southern District was half a year ago. Back then, HY Technology Co., Ltd. was not under my care.”
She sneered, “Miss Kennedy, I know your grounds of plea. Indeed, on the surface, you have only just taken over HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s matter. But in fact, you had already taken over HY Technology Co., Ltd. when you assumed the position of the George Group’s director a year ago. At that time, in order not to arouse discussions, Freddy had privately transferred 15% of the George Group’s shares to your name, HY Technology Co., Ltd. was included in it.”
It was a little unbelievable, I didn’t even know how to defend myself.
I was confused so I just kept shaking my head, “I didn’t handle the affairs of the Southern District at all, I didn’t know about it at all.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Miss Kennedy, there is no excuse. We can find out all the documents approved by HY Technology Co., Ltd. that you have signed this year and compare them with you. Tell the truth and you will receive a lighter sentence. You are not the legal person of the company. You just managed the lives of four people. It just involved improper handling. This is a case of an industrial and commercial nature. It involves the development of the George Group, and you are only facing the risk of being fired. It wouldn’t hurt you too much.”
I looked at the middle-aged woman in front of me, and my mind began to clear up. This was not a criminal case, but an industrial and commercial issue involved by the company.
After calming down, I looked at the middle-aged woman in front of me and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t answer your question. Your current behavior is already illegal detention. I have the right to sue you for violating my human rights and for conducting private criminal inquiries.”
The George Group’s issues, regardless of its investigations, it would be impossible to blame me. In addition, for HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s case, I am afraid that someone had deliberately framed me.
If I confessed to these crimes indiscriminately now, I am afraid that when I get out, I will become a street mouse that everyone will go after, and my reputation will go down the drain.
The middle-aged woman laughed when she saw my calm state and said, “Since Miss Kennedy doesn’t plan to talk to me, please find a lawyer to bail you out and talk to the George Group as well as the shareholders of Newton Town!”
“I will, you don’t have to worry about it!”
Since she couldn’t get anything out of me, the middle-aged woman didn’t force me to stay. She just asked me to call a lawyer to handle the formalities and allowed me to leave.
After leaving the Procurator General Office, I went directly to the George Group. I didn’t know the specific matters, but I knew that the George Group’s affairs were not that simple.
I drove the car to a place not far from the George Group and stopped. There was a crowd gathering at the George Group’s building.
I didn’t get out of the car in a hurry and called Mario again, but no one answered.
So, I called Marcus and fortunately, he answered.
On the phone, I went straight to the subject, “Mr. Thomson, I need an explanation for HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s four lives!”
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little low, “Clara, I think what you should care about now is whether or not Dennis can get out of the operating room alive.”
My eyebrows hurt a little bit, and my energy was a little down, “Is it my responsibility that he went to City P to court death? One car accident was not enough, now there is another crash? Mr. Thomson, you can’t be too double standard. You can’t be you have not heard of the George Group’s affairs.”
“I have already told someone to deal with the George Group’s affairs. You did sign for HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s affairs before. Freddy gave you 15% of the shares a year ago to guarantee your future. You knew it for yourself. As for the signatures for the Southern District, you did sign them. This matter was decided by Dennis. You can wait for him to come out of the emergency room to ask him!”
After he spoke, he paused and said, “Clara, I advise you if you have to give up, just give up!”
“What do you mean?” I seem to have fallen into a big hole and can’t get out.
“I’m hang up first!” The phone was hung up, and I sat in the car in a daze for a while.
The large crowd gathered at the George Group has made me lose my confidence.
Diana called, her voice very anxious, “Where are you?”
“The George Group!”
“I’ll pick you up, don’t walk around!” After she had instructed me, she hung up.
Fifteen minutes later, I saw Diana on the ground floor of the George Group’s building. When I saw her squeezing into the George Group’s building, I called her.
After getting through, I said directly, “Look back!”
She turned her head and saw my car, then trotted into my car, looked at me, and said, “Go, let’s go back to YT Apartment and talk.”
Back at YT Apartment
She looked at me with a very serious expression on her face, “What happened to HY Technology Co., Ltd.?”
I couldn’t explain clearly, so I said, “Freddy transferred HY Technology Co., Ltd. to my name a year ago. Despite not being in charge of HY Technology Co., Ltd., many signatures were signed in my name.”
She was taken aback, “So, now for the HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s case, you are to carry the blame?”
I nodded, “Not only that but the previous audits by AC Co., Ltd. and Jo Turner Credit Co., Ltd. are also problematic. The data reported by the two companies had issues. The Bureau of Industry and Commerce has already begun an investigation. I am afraid that the George Group’s stock market will plummet this time. If it is not well controlled, it may face bankruptcy.”
She paced around in a hurry, looked at me, and said, “Why do you still care about the George Group’s now? Think about what you should do first. The headlines new had placed all the issues on your name. Some shareholders are very extreme. You have to be careful. In addition, you may face a fine for HY Technology Co., Ltd.’s incident. The amount should not be small. Think through it first.”
After a pause, she looked at me and said, “Dennis should be able to help you take care of it. I’m afraid that once this happens, you will be unable to stay in the George Group.”
My head hurt terribly. A whole bunch of things made me unable to breathe. I pressed my head into my knees and said, “Dennis got into an accident. He is in the emergency ward of the City P’s hospital.”
She opened her mouth and said for a long time, “Why is everything happening at the same time?”
I shook my head and felt suffocated.
