Chapter 521: Make A Choice (Part Six)


    Rachel looked at him indifferently and remained silent as she waited for what he had to say.


    Roger’s eyes were trained on her face, fearing that he would miss the change in her expression.


    "The investigation team received an anonymous tip-off.They suspect that Victor embezzled Sullivan


    Group’s capital six years ago, and some of that money was used to purchase Be Group’s


    shares.The reason I was so anxious just now is that I was worried that the investigation team would get


    you involved with the source of the money."


    He the lowered his voice to a whisper that only Rachel could hear.


    "Even though they didn’t mention it, they must have obtained some key evidence.That exins why


    they suddenly came to the Be Group.They must be looking for further proof to the evidence they


    already have.If Victor can’te up with a reasonable exnation to counter it, the possibility of him


    being used of abuse of power will be very high."


    Rachel narrowed her eyes and listened quietly.


    "Once he is convicted, not only will all his property and assets be confiscated, but he will also be


    sentenced to more than five years in prison."


    Rachel was no stranger to that.She knew the weight that came with it better than anyone else.


    Although four years had passed so quickly in this new life she had, the memory of the two years she


    had spent in the international prison before her rebirth was still fresh and unforgettable.


    Even though her face didn’t show it, she was stunned for a moment when she heard that Victor might


    be put in prison, thinking that maybe she had heard it wrong.


    But soon, she smiled.It was a faint smile that was hard to catch.


    Rachel felt it though and was confused by her emotions.She seemed to be happy when she heard the


    news, or else she wouldn’t have smiled.Then, she suddenly felt suffocated as if she was strapped to an


    emotional roller coaster.


    "Rachel…"


    Seeing her smile in a daze, Roger called out her name worriedly.


    "More than five years in prison."


    Rachel stopped smiling and looked up at him.


    "Do you know exactly how many years it will be?"


    Roger was surprised by her sudden shift.


    "It’s too early in the case to determine that yet."


    "Oh, okay then."


    Rachel nodded nonchntly.


    "Rachel, by any chance, are you okay?"


    She was just too calm, as if she had heard something irrelevant that wasn’t worth her time, which was


    completely different from what Roger had expected.


    He was a little worried.


    "Hmm? I’m fine.Why wouldn’t I be?"


    "If you have something to say, you can say it.If maybe you are worried that the Be Group will be


    involved in this matter, or…if you want to know how Victor is doing, I can help you ask about it.Maybe


    the result will not be as bad."


    "Why?"


    Rachel looked up from the file she was reading to his eyes.


    "What?"


    Roger was confused.He wasn’t sure what Rachel was referring to.


    "Why do you think I want to know about what Victor is doing?"


    "I’m just worried about you."


    "There are no ties that connect me with him.So whether he goes bankrupt or goes to jail does not


    concern me in the least.I’m not worried about the investigation team.As you said, they came to our


    company just to find more evidence that Victor might havemitted embezzlement and power


    mismanagement.Whether they find it or not has nothing to do with the Be Group."


    Rachel picked up the ss beside her and took a sip of water.


    As she ced the ss down, she stared at the water nkly for a few seconds.With her back to


    Roger, he didn’t notice the unusual change in her expression.


    "There is only one thing I am worried about right now." She looked away from the ss.


    "We may have to postpone our departure from Apliaria.The investigation team hasn’t gotten any


    result.As long as they stay in the Be Group, I should still be their main focus."


    If she left at a time like that, Rachel was afraid that it would only cause her trouble.


    "They won’t stay long.We’ll just leave as soon as they are gone."


    Roger tried tofort her.


    "I guess there’s no other way around it."


    The news that the investigation team had gone to the Be Group spread quickly.


    Apliaria had already been bombarded by pieces of shocking news one after another, but now the storm


    seemed to be growing evenrger.


    In order to let the investigation teamplete the work in a quiet environment, Rachel only let some


    necessary people remain to maintain the basic daily operation within thepany, and the rest of the


    staff were all given three days off.


    In half a day, the Be Group building was almost empty.


    That night, near the early morning hours, only the meeting room on the thirteen floor was still lit up.


    Davis closed a folder in his hands.His action was not forceful, but the sound was particrly harsh in


    that quiet meeting room where even a pin dropping could be heard.


    The other people, who were originally staring at theirputer screens, feeling sleepy, were shocked


    by this sound.


    Kent also put down his pen, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyelids to relieve the pain that came from


    straining them.


    When he opened his eyes again, he saw Davis stand up and leave the room.


    "Where are you going?" he asked.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Davis put his phone into his pocket and looked back.


    "I can’t stay here any longer.I need to go out for a walk.I think everyone is sleepy, so I’ll bring some


    drinks for you."


    After saying that, he nced at the sleepy colleagues and said, "If you want anything specific to drink,


    text it to me.And only the drinks avable in the convenience store! No milk tea or fruit tea


    avable.Those shops are closed by now."


    The others allughed and said in unison, "Bless you, Davis!"


    Davis waved his hand and looked at Kent.


    "What about you? What would you like to drink?"


    Kent picked up the vacuum cup beside him.


    "Nothing, thanks.I’m good with this."


    "You really like your vacuum cup, don’t you? You act like what people say on the Inte." Davis


    thought for a while.


    "Well, a veteran cadre!"


    Not bothering to reply, Kent took a sip of water.Davis turned around and left the meeting room.He took


    the elevator downstairs and left the building.


    As soon as he walked out of the building, he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket.He took out his phone


    and unlocked it.


    A message from an unknown number popped up amidst all the other drink requests from his


    colleagues.He checked it and found a pin location shared with him, which was two or three hundred


    meters from the Be Group building Davis deleted the message and continued walking in that


    direction.


    At the same time, he opened the takeout app on his phone and ordered what his colleagues had


    requested.


    About three minutester, he looked up and saw a ck car parked on the side of the road exactly


    where the pin on the map had been.


    A man in all ck stood beside it.


    Davis muted the phone and ced it back into his pocket.


    As soon as he approached, the man in ck suddenly stopped him before he got any closer, and held


    out his hand.


    Davis nced at him for a while, before he realized what the man wanted.Hesitating for a moment, he


    took out his phone and handed it to the man.
