Chapter 169


    I was brought to the interrogation room. A middle-aged woman sat in front of me and said sternly, "Miss


    Reid, I''m sorry to have brought you here. We would have to record the conversation for legal purposes,


    and I hope you can cooperate with us."

    I nodded. I was frightened when they held me in the airport. But right then, when I was in the


    interrogation room, I had already calmed down.


    The woman looked at me and said, "ording to our investigation, the Roberts Group had just


    wrapped up their auditing under the public''s observation. You had already reported the result as well."


    I nodded and didn''t say anything else.


    She continued, "I''ve seen the report and audit results, and most of them are approved by you. Miss


    Reid, are you aware of the financial deficit in Roberts Group?"


    I frowned. Without answering the question directly, I asked instead, "Madam, the things you asked me,


    are they illegal?"


    She shook her head and smiled, "Nope, it isn''t, but the illegal issues are rted to this. Six months


    ago, a technologypany under the Roberts Group, Advancer Tech, covered up the idental death


    of four factory workers. They died because of safety problems that arose in the factory. However, your


    family of threemitted suicidest night because of this."


    "Four workers died in an ident?" I was so shocked that I stood up from my seat, "How could it be


    four people?"


    Noticing the panic on my face, she sneered, "Stop with the act. You''re the person in charge. You should


    know better than us."


    I stared at her. I didn''t understand what she was saying. I had no idea what to do, so I said, "I''m not


    putting up an act. I''ve only taken over Advancer Tech''s project for less than two months. And the


    southern district factory incident took ce half a year ago. I wasn''t even the person in charge at that


    time!"


    She scoffed, "Miss Reid, I expected you to say this. What you said was true. However, when you were


    promoted to thepany''s director a year ago, you have already be the person in charge of


    Advancer Tech. We found out that Master Roberts had transferred fifteen percent of thepany''s


    shares under your name in private to avoid prying ears, and Advancer Tech was among those shares."


    I couldn''t believe what she said. I didn''t even know how to defend myself.


    My heart was in a mess, I shook my head vigorously and said, "I was never in charge of the southern


    district branches! I didn''t even know what happened until recently."


    "Miss Reid, stop with the baseless talks. You have signed and approved all the rted documents to


    Advancer Tech for a whole year. We can easily present these documents as evidence against you. To


    be frank, you aren''t the legal entity of thepany. You are only at fault for not handling this


    appropriately. This is a case targeting the operation procedures in the Roberts Group. You would only


    face the risk of being fired from your position, so it does you no harm to admit to this," She continued.


    I looked at her as I processed her words. It wasn''t a criminal case. It was just a matter regarding a


    After I calmed down, I looked at her and said, "Sorry, I can''t answer your questions. Your current


    behavior can be considered as illegal detention. I have the right to sue you for viting my rights."


    In the end, they shouldn''t have the need to involve me in the investigation process regarding the


    Roberts Group''s problem. Moreover, I was concerned that someone might have deliberately framed me


    for the case regarding Advancer Tech.
