Chapter 1407


    Chapter 1407 Taking Action


    Nichs'' fury could not be contained. "What the hell were they thinking? Do they pay so little heed to the


    company?" Nichs stood behind his desk, his eyes filled with rage. He looked like a demon ready to


    hunt down a sinner.


    Edward''s legs were buckling, but he could understand Nichs'' fury. If this scandal were to surface,


    Sawyer Group would be the first to be hit by the court of public opinion. They would think thepany


    was filled with scoundrels and criminals. If worse came to worst, thepany might fall. At this point,


    even Edward was angry at Adam and Joseph. How could they do this? This might bring thepany


    down.

    As Edward was musing over this matter, Nichs hissed, "Get all the evidence of their crimes and force


    the Filisburg branch to give back every single cent they took."


    "What about Adam and Joseph''s contraband business?" asked Edward after some hesitation.


    A hint of cruelty shed in Nichs'' eyes. "They can drop dead for all I care. Just get the money back."


    "But that''d alert them." Edward frowned.


    Nichs didn''t care. "I couldn''t care less. What we need to do now is cut ties with them."


    "I understand." Edward left and started another round of investigation.


    The moment he started making his move, Adam''s men in Filisburg got the news. It was dawn in Filisburg


    right now. Adam was having a leisurely time strolling in the garden while holding a bird cage.


    A suited man came to him in a hurry. He was Adam''s most trusted lieutenant—Chester. "Sir, I have


    news. Someone let slip our operation. Nichs just sent his men to audit thosepanies."


    "He knows?" Adam was shocked, and he could no longer stay calm. His face fell and a frown furrowed


    his forehead. "Is your source reliable?"


    "I''ve talked to a few branch managers. The HQ has sent someone to check in with them," Chester


    answered, telling Adam the news he found out.


    Adam could no longer sit still. Nichs is starting his investigation, and he won''t stop until he finds the


    truth. I cannot let this happen. "Summon Joseph."


    "Yes, sir." Chester left.


    Joseph came running a short whileter. "I heard from Chester, Adam. Nichs'' men are auditing the


    ounts?"


    "Yes." Adam nodded coldly.


    Joseph winced. "So, that means we have to pay." He was a ve to money. Asking him to fork out that


    sum of money was as good as killing him.


    Adam looked at Joseph. "Problem is, money alone can''t settle this," he said softly.


    "Why?" Joseph looked at him, confused.


    Adam answered icily, "It was an act. He kept quiet because he was looking into our case behind our


    backs. Now I suspect that he knows what we''ve done and is cracking down on us."


    "He knows?" Joseph was shocked, and then panic showed in his eyes. "Sh*t. Sh*t. He''s going to kill us."


    He then paused and looked at Adam nervously. "What now?"


    "We have no choice. We must strike first." A hint of malice appeared in Adam''s eyes.


    Shocked, Joseph looked at him in disbelief. "You want to attack Nichs?"


    "Yes, sir." Chester left.
