    Chapter 423 Get Out of Lion Group


    He sounded decisive and powerful.


    For a moment, everyone fixed their eyes on the ledger with different thoughts.


    Bishop didn''t look panicked at all.He raised his chin at the book.


    Bob understood, and fetched the ledger andptop to him.


    Three minutester, Bishop still looked asposed as he had been.He looked up at August and said


    in a colder voice, "August, dad has just left a few days.And you''re so eager to frame me?"


    His words changed August''s expression.


    Rage was burning in August''s eyes.


    Secondster, August snorted and ordered his men, "Send a copy of the data to Vice President


    Adams."


    After a pause, he continued, "Fill the hole in three days."


    Then, he stood up and was to leave.


    "August!"


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Bishop stopped him.


    "If dad knows you frame me just to deprive me of my authority in the office, he would be so bitterly


    disappointed."


    "Bitterly disappointed?"


    August stopped, and said grimly, "Still refuse to admit before the end of your rope."


    Then, he looked at Burton.


    "Bring him."


    Burton walked out the conference room fast.


    Soon, he brought back aman.


    "Director Downs, tell me about it.What happened."


    The man rolled his eyes.He swept his gaze through Bishop andnded it on August.


    "President Adams, is it about the ounts?"


    August didn''t reply and just stared at him in silence.


    Director Downs could only bite the bullet and walked forward.


    When he saw the ledger, his face went pale.


    On theptop screen was ounts that had been checked.He could see clearly the gap between


    ounts receivable and actual ounts.


    Director Downs couldn''t help sweating.He could never exin himself.


    The data was truthful and couldn''t be forged.His usation was confirmed.


    August eyed him and spat, "Speak."


    Director Downs trembled, face pale and tongue twisted.


    Brows knitted, August stared at him.His patience was running out.He barely had any patience now.


    After two seconds, he looked towards one of his men named Jasper.


    Jasper understood.


    He took a step forward and said, "Joaquin Downs, if I didn''t misremember, your son should have his


    five years old birthday two weeks ago, right?"


    As Jasper mentioned Director Downs''s son, Director Downs''s face went paler.


    "Err...Yes."


    Jasper said word by word, "Five years old.So young, and so ignorant of and so eager to see the


    beautiful world..."


    "What do you want?"


    Director Downs got agitated and looked at the people beside him vigntly.He finally had this one


    single son, who he spoiled so much, in his forties.


    But now...


    Jasper smiled.


    "What we want is decided by yourself."


    Bishop wrinkled his brows and said coldly, "August, what is it?"


    August answered, "I think you should know the best about it."


    He just learned this trick from Bishop.


    Jasper took out a phone and threw it in front of Director Downs.


    The phone was ying a video.


    A childish voice calling "dad" could be heard clearly.


    Lucia felt so disappointed and scared when she saw what happened.She had cold sweat on her


    back.She never expected that August should be so vicious and shameless as to threaten Director


    Downs with a child! "What do you want?"


    Director Downs panicked.


    "Why is my son in your hand?"


    August said unhurriedly, "When you manipted the ount, you should have seen this.If your son


    perished, you have only yourself to me"


    His words were so ruthless.


    They were like cold des stabbed into Director Downs''s heart as well as Lucia’s heart.


    That was merely a five-year-old kid.He had no difference from Timothy and J.


    Granted, his father did the wrong thing, but he was innocent.


    Lucia felt bitter in her heart, and felt more disdain toward August.


    This man was crueler than she had expected.


    Director Downs panicked.He cast several nces at Bishop, but received no response.


    Jasper looked at Director Downs and continued, "You have three minutes to tell us what you know and


    keep your kid safe.Otherwise, you''ll have to take the consequences."


    Seeing that Director Downs still refused to speak, August frowned and nodded toward Jasper.


    Jasper immediately took out a phone and prepared to make a call.


    "I...I''ll tell you everything!"


    Director Downs was trembling.He looked at Bishop in panic and gritted her teeth.


    "It...it was Mr.Bishop Adam''s order..."


    Hearing this, Bishop narrowed his eyes.He seized Director Downs as if he wanted to see the man


    through.


    Then, he sneered, "What a y."


    "Mr.Bishop Adams.I''m sorry!"


    As Director Downs said so, he fumbled for something in his pocket.


    After he found what he was looking for, he handed it to August with both his hands.


    "President Adams, this...this is the evidence I left.Please have a look."


    It was a tiny silver sh drive.


    No one knew what it contained.


    August mentioned Jasper taking the sh drive.


    After Jasper plugged it into theptop, he exported everything in it.


    All were proof of what Bishop had done.


    Bishop couldn''t continue defending himself anymore.


    Bishop didn''t expect Director Downs should have sold him out so easily! What was more of a surprise


    to him was that Director Downs should have specially kept the evidence in a sh drive.


    "Any more of your chicanery?"


    August showed Bishop the evidence in the sh drive with theptop.


    Bishop was rendered wordless.


    This farce, up to this point, shoulde to an end.


    August stood up and mentioned Jasper to bring Director Downs away.


    He then looked at Bishop coldly and ordered, "Fill the holes up in three days."


    After a pause, he continued, "And then, get out of Lion Group!"


    Bishop snorted, "August.No one would gain anything from our quarrel."


    More than that, such a scandal would destroy Lion Group''s reputation, which would lead to a slump in


    Lion''s stock price.It was serious.


    However, August could cover up the facts if he wanted.


    Hearing this, August abruptly stared at Bishop grimly.


    "Bishop, who do you think you''re?"


    Bishop had used his official power to embezzle so much of Lion''s funds.


    And, after being proven guilty, he should still want to cover things up! August wouldn''t let that happen.


    "Stop daydreaming!"


    After saying so, August left.


    When August was to walk out of the conference room, Bishop suddenly said, "So, August, is it a


    deration of war?"


    August stopped.


    He then turned around, face dark and cold, and stared at Bishop.


    "If you think so, then it is."


    There would sooner orter be a fierce war between him and Bishop.


    Now, Bishop''s maniption of ounts made August think that it was about time to clear things up


    frankly and brutally.


    Bishop suddenlyughed out loud.


    "Oh, I gotta see how capable you are, August."


    Then, Bishop looked at Bob.Bob understood him and pushed him out of the conference room.
