Chapter 1482


    Sallie understood that Estelle didn’t like this kind of activity in the Macin family, but she also didn’t


    want Carme to steal the show for the night, so she went to the side to make a phone call. Carme


    was treated like a celeb by the Macin family, she was all smiles and full of herself Suddenly, her


    phone rang She nced at it, gave a wave to Elizabeth, then stepped out onto the balcony to take the


    call


    Simone said with a smile, “Carme’s really busy now Heather’s treating her like a sister, always asking


    her about everything, even the crew. They don’t decide anything without asking Carme for her


    opinion”


    Leonie smirked sarcastically. “So Carme’s basically doing the director’s job then. Hope she doesn’t


    work herself to death!*


    Simone caught the jealousy in Leonie’s words andughed, “You’re right, I wish Carme could chill


    like Sallie does”

    Leonie’s face shifted, she snorted and turned away


    The caller was Finley, inviting her to dinner that evening


    Carme chuckled, Tonight might be tricky. My grandparents are throwing a big celebration for me.


    With lots of guests, I can’t bail.”


    Finleyughed. “Oh really? Where’s the party, I’lle too. It’s about time I met your folks anyway.”


    However, Carme was no longer as enthusiastic about Finley as before, and she didn’t want their


    rtionship to be public. She was about to sign with an agency, so her future was bright, why would


    she still be interested in Finley? She even worried that he may hinder her progress.


    She thought for a moment, thenughed, “Maybe next time, my parents don’t even know I’m dating.


    Plus with all these people here today, I’m afraid of scaring them.”


    Finleyughed, “Are you worried your parents won’t like me?”


    Of course not, I just wanna find a good time to take you to meet them, have a proper chat.”


    Finley grinned, “Sounds good. I’ll drop by your ce in a few days.”


    “Great!”


    Carme had no ns to introduce Finley to Simone, and she was just stalling him.


    They chatted a bit more before hanging up. The smile on Carme’s face faded as she turned back to


    the living room. As she passed the hallway, she noticed Bet and Terrence had left their phones on


    the coffee table while they went to the backyard, a message came through.


    Carme took a quick look and saw an email from Manager Cheney of thepany’s purchasing


    department. Her eyes narrowed as she picked up the phone. The password was the ess code to


    their vi, she easily cracked it.


    She opened the email to find a spreadsheet detailing the procurement projects that Victor was in


    charge of for the month, along with the kickbacks he had received. The total was a whopping three


    hundred grand!


    Carme’s heart sank Was Manager Cheney setting a trap for Victor or was Bet having Manager


    Cheney keep tabs on Victor? Victor was too bold, being so reckless right after joining thepany!


    She first deleted the email, then sent a message to Manager Cheney under Bet’s name, “I’ve seen


    the report, don’t worry about Victor.”


    She waited a while, Manager Cheney replied, “Alright, understood!”


    Carme quickly erased the entire conversation. Seeing Bet still hadn’t returned, she nervously


    ced the phone back in its original spot.


    She found a spot away from the crowd and dialed Victor. As soon as he picked up, she said coldly,


    “Manager Cheney knows you were taking kickbacks from clients. Keep a low profile.”
