Chapter 595: Evil Approaches
Although Amora had successfully dodged a bullet, she was still worried on the next day.She dared not act rashly to avoid triggering Kane.
However, she didn't expect to receive a call from Yancy when she arrived at the office the next day. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Amora, it's so long since we last met.How have you been?"
"What do you want?"
Amora asked as she began to tremble out of fear and anger.She was fearful too.
I wonder what does this evil woman want from me this time?
"Nothing.I just wanted to thank you for letting my son off the last time.I know he would have been in deep trouble if it wasn't for you" Yancy replied sweetly.
She sounded like she was elderly, speaking to the younger ones.Well, of course, Amora didn't buy that act of hers.
However, since she put it this way, Amora responded coldly, "Don't mention it.Just don't forget your promise."
"Of course, I won't.Don't worry, Amora.I'm not the kind of person who breaks promises."
Yancy smiled.
Amora did not respond and sighed in relief.Yet, before Amora could hang up, Yancy continued.
"By the way, I want to ask about the Saikyo Enterprise.I wonder what does Ronin Corporation plans to do with it? Would you mind telling me?"
"How would I know? I'm not in charge of this!" Amora snapped.
Yancy was not upset by Amora's words.
Instead, she softened her tone even more.
"Oh, come on.Don't be upset! I merely wanted to know how much Saikyo Enterprise has lost so I can do some damage control on my end.You should know, Amora, the Ronin Corporation is supposed to be my son's business.Hence, I wouldn't be very pleased if it suffers a great loss."
Her heart began to pound like crazy when she heard Yancy's words as her small face turned as pale as a sheet!
"You...what exactly do want, Yancy? I warn you, don't cross the line."
"Tsk tsk, why are you saying this again? Didn't I tell you already? I'm not asking you to do anything else.All I want to know is this, can't you just give me some leads? Don't be so uptight," Yancy said as she guaranteed that she merely wanted to know about the lawsuit between Ronin Corporation and Saikyo Enterprise. Is that really all she wants to know? Amora didn't know what to do as her mind was jumbled up.
"Alright, just wait for my call.I'll get what you need and contact you soon.Don't ever call me again."
Amora agreed to her request and hung up.
I have no choice to do as asked.If I didn't, I can't say for sure what she'd do to me.
Then, Amora made a call to the legal department.
"Hello? I'm Ms.Rory, from the operational department."
"Hi, Ms.Rory.What can I help you with?"
The staff from the legal department became very polite when they knew it was Mrs.Ronin who called.
Amora paused and pursed her lips before asking, "I would like to know about the progress of the lawsuit against Saikyo Enterprise.What's the status now? "
"It's almost at the conviction stage now.However, it's taking a little longer than usual as it is an international case.But, we have submitted all of the evidence.According to the regulations of the International Arbitration Law, the trial results are legally valid when one files a lawsuit at the local court where the contract was signed.Therefore, all we need to do now is wait for Saikyo Enterprise to send someone to attend the hearing."
"What if no one does?"
"It doesn't matter.As long as we have solid evidence against Saikyo Enterprise, they would still be found guilty even if no one shows up."
The staff assumed Amora was concerned about the case.
Thus, the staff from the legal department explained in detail to her.
Amora instantly understood the entire situation.So this means that the lawsuit is coming to an end.
Suddenly, she was reminded of Yancy's words and decided to ask something else.
"I see.So what happens next if they are found guilty?"
"The Saikyo Enterprise would have to pay compensation that is doubled the amount of fraud he had convicted.Similarly, the person in charge has to bear its legal responsibilities as well.However, this case involves a huge sum of money.So, whoever is responsible would receive two to three years of jail term according to the laws of our country"
"What?"
Amora's heart dropped when she heard those words.She didn't care if the person in charge had to be sentenced to prison.She was worried about what Yancy had said in the call.She mentioned that she would be upset if the prices were too high to bear.
What if her mood turn sour, would she then...? Amora panicked.
Her mind drifted to her thoughts as she lost focus after the phone call.
She sat in her office, absent-mindedly, the entire afternoon.
Her thoughts were still all over the place even during lunchtime.
"What's on your mind?"
Kane sat across her as he watched her put a piece of onion in her mouth.He quickly grabbed her fork to stop her.
