    Chapter 728: Big Mistake


    Helen''s POV:


    I got my mother settled infortably but I still felt agitated. I''d only met George''s mother a couple of


    times, so I didn''t know her from a bar of soap.


    In fact, apart from the tight p she gave me, she had not done anything out of the ordinary.So I had


    no idea what she had nned for me next.


    My whole day was spent in anxious musing.


    At the close of the working day, Mr.Lamont Ramsey, the big boss of Hesmor Law Firm, arrived


    unexpectedly.He walked into Anya''s office with a troubled face.It was clear that something untoward


    had happened.He rarely showed up at the firm.


    As a matter of fact, I''d only seen him twice in all my time here.


    There were hushed murmurings amongst the colleagues.


    "What is Mr.Ramsey doing here at this hour?"


    "He looks very upset.I guess something massive is about to explode."


    I looked at Anya''s closed office door and all kinds of negative thoughts ran through my head.I was on


    edge.I didn''t know if I was being delusional, but I vaguely heard my name cropping up in their


    conversation.


    Then Anya suddenly opened the door and asked Phil toe into her office.


    Before closing the door, she darted a sharp, icy re at me.иσν???вσσк.￠σм For a brief moment, I felt


    myself suffocating.It was the first time that she had looked at me with hawk eyes.


    Now I was more than certain that I was not delusional.I had definitely heard them mention my name.


    Even Tina and Melissa sensed that something was horribly wrong.


    "Helen, what happened?" they asked in a soft voice.


    I was too afraid to say anything.I just shook my head at the two of them.I dropped what I was doing,


    stared unblinking at the closed door, my ears pricked up, and waited.I guessed this was the


    consequence that George''s mother hinted at since I had refused to divorce her son.But I had no clue


    what was going on.


    The waiting was killing me.


    After a while, Anya''s office door opened again.


    Phil stood at the door and summoned me in.I nervously rose to my feet, my heart was pounding in fear


    and a cold sweat surfaced on my back.But I kept myself as calm as I possibly could.I told myself that


    the worst case scenario was that George''s mother might have used her contacts to pressure my boss


    to fire me and make my career in the industry an ongoing uphill battle.I could deal with that.


    However, I underestimated her perspicacity.


    When I entered Anya''s office, I was shocked to see the documents of Leeson Holdings and Yeadon


    Real Estate strewn on the desk.


    Lamont looked at me with wrathful eyes and asked frostily, "Are you Helen? Are you the one in charge


    of the Leeson Holdings and Yeadon Real Estate project?"


    Although I''d only met him twice, I could tell that he was generally a mild tempered, pleasant person.If


    he was so furious, then there must be something seriously wrong with the project.


    "Yes, I''m Helen.It''s a pleasure to meet you, Mr.Ramsey." I hurried to greet him.


    "Mr.Ramsey, I will investigate it thoroughly and report our findings to you as soon as possible,"


    Anya solemnly assured.


    "Hurry up," Lamont said.


    "Leeson Holdings has filed awsuit against us.If it turns out to be true, our firm will be forced to close


    down."


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Then Lamont looked at me with eyes as cold as a chest freezer and departed.He mmed the door so


    loudly that Anya, Phil and I almost jumped out of our skins.


    Anya sat down and picked up the documents on the table.My mind went nk because so much had


    happened so fast.I stood there stiffly and looked at her, barely able to register anything.I didn''t know


    what was going on, but Anya''s face was so sullen that I didn''t dare to ask for an exnation.


    Soon, Anya stopped browsing through the documents, took out a folder from inside and threw it in front


    of me.


    "Can you exin this?" she shouted.


    I looked down and saw that it was a copy of thend property title and some relevant reports of the


    project of Yeadon Real Estate.


    These documents werepleted and signed by me.


    "Is there something wrong with this project?"иσν???вσσк.￠σм I asked Anya in a shaky voice.


    "It was only after Leeson Holdings made the payment to Yeadon Real Estate that they found that the


    land they bought was not under the name of Yeadon Real Estate.It had already been sold to another


    company, but your due diligence report says thend belongs to Yeadon Real Estate, which caused


    Leeson Holdings a loss of hundreds of millions of dors," Anya exined.


    "Mr.Ramsey informed me that Leeson Holdings has filed awsuit against ourw firm, demanding a


    refund of thewyer service fee and fifty million dors inpensation." I looked through the


    documents and verified that I had indeed written the report.


    "Miss Pierce, I''m sure these documents are authentic.When I was investigating the ownership of the


    land, I personally went to the Land Management Bureau and confirmed that that piece ofnd was


    indeed under the name of Yeadon Real Estate.It''s impossible that there''s a mistake like this," I


    exined in a hurry.


    Leeson Holdings had taken our firm to court.


    If I did make a mistake in my investigation, it would not only hurt my reputation in the legal profession,


    but it would also cause a huge loss to thew firm.


    I calmed down and carefully recalled the investigation, step by step, to make sure that I did go to the


    Land Management Bureau to verify the information before putting it into my report.


    "Anya, you''ve worked with Helen for so long.You should know her batter than anyone.She''s always


    thorough and conscientious.She will never make such a stupid mistake," Phil said, catingly.


    "Are you certain you went to the Land Management Bureau to check it?" Anya asked with a straight


    face.


    "Leeson Holdings has provided the relevant certificates.Thisnd is on file with the Land Management


    Bureau, which shows that it is not under the name of the Yeadon Real Estate.Because of your


    mistakes in the due diligence investigation, Leeson Holdings did suffer a great loss.In essence, we


    made them buy thend that didn''t even belong to the people they were paying." I nodded firmly.


    "Yes.I swear to God I went to the Land Management Bureau, and a staff member show me the


    certificate of ownership of Yeadon Real Estate." I was pretty sure that my report was authentic and


    valid.


    "A staff member?"


    Anya repeated my words, frowning.I didn''t know what was on her mind.


    Panic seized me and the point finally hit home.


    Was there something wrong with the staff member? Had he given me a fake file?
