Chapter 55


    Rosalynn yed both good cop and bad cop, first using Sawyer to intimidate the others. When they


    were all nervous and afraid of going to jail, she threw them a bone, getting them to actively return the


    stolen money.


    Jacob watched all of these, wishing he could stand up and apud for Rosalynn.


    It didn’t take long for them to recover nearly 30 million stolen money.


    Rosalynn looked at everyone, who were too scared to even breathe.


    Most of them had returned the money ording to the amounts Sawyer had listed.


    But… how could Sawyer possibly know the exact situation of each person?


    Rosalynn was silent for a while, then looked up and scanned the crowd. “Everyone, did you calcte


    the amount correctly?”


    Clearly, some people panicked, while those who hadn’t lied about their share responded loudly.


    Rosalynn yed with the pen in her hand, “Make sure you calcte it urately. If other higher-ups


    find out there’s still stolen money unounted for, it won’t be so easy to deal


    with then.”


    “I… I seem to have undercounted seven… more than seven million…” someone said, and


    then made another IOU


    Afterward, several more people, pale-faced, amended their owed amounts, and the


    numbers were not small either.


    In the end, the total came to 45 million.


    “Secretary Tesdal, what about our jobs…?” Riley quietly asked.


    He also owed over a million, and if they lost their jobs….


    “Like I’ve said earlier, you were led astray by Sawyer, but I still recognize your abilities,” Rosalynn


    started to give them some benefits, “So, everything will continue as usual at work. I’ll persuade the


    president not to fire any of you, but you need to be extra careful from now on. If you make any more


    mistakes, I won’t be able to help you.”


    “Secretary Tesdal, you really are beautiful and kind!” Riley immediately praised her.


    Rosalynn gave a faint smile, “We all have our own problems, so just do your best from


    now on.”


    The meeting ended.


    Everyone left with joy on their faces, like they’d survived a disaster.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Some people even cursed Sawyer.


    “That bastard! He just dragged us down with him!”


    “Right? In my owed amounts, there are even hundreds of thousands he spent. I can’t stand this!”


    “If he ever gets out, I’ll definitely kill him!”


    Rosalynn sorted everything out, put it in a folder, and handed it to Jacob, who had been shamelessly


    watching her with his head propped up.


    “President Strand, it’s up to you to collect the returned amounts as promised in these IOUS.”


    “Are you really going to ask Wayne to intercede on their behalf?” Jacob asked.


    Rosalynn put away herputer and pen and paper.


    “Of course not. For something like this, President Silverman wouldn’t interfere; he only cares about the


    results.”


    “Right.” Jacobughed, “So Secretary Tesdal was using both the carrot and the stick just now? Are you


    really letting them off so easily?”


    “What else can I do? The project is in a critical stage, and due to these people, we’ve already dyed


    the construction by a month. If I fire them and find new people, how much longer will it take?”


    Time is money, especially on a construction site.


    “But we can’t let them continue to handle the core work of the project. President Strand needs to send


    people to take over as soon as possible.”


    “Also, I suggest that President Strand verifies and keeps records of everything Sawyer mentioned. If


    any of them cause trouble again, send the police straight to arrest them.”


    She never said she was going to let them off the hookpletely.
