Pitkin was outrageous as he said, "It was just a sappy meeting. I didn't preside over it. Why did you ask
me to be there?"
"You are not in charge of today's meeting, but it is held specially for you." Essie said in a gentle and
cold voice.
Pitkin couldn't help shivering, and he felt uneasy when he saw Essie's deep eyes.
He tried his best to keep calm and sat in his seat, "Just say it. Don't hold me up. Let's get to the point.
Don't delay my golden chance for my big development." He was cursing and intended to teach Essie a
lesson. She didn't even have the chance to sit tight, but she dared to touch the Wang family. She was
totally asking for death!
Without uttering a single word, Essie glanced at Vinton and decided to let him preside over the first half
of the meeting.
"Grin." Vinton's voice was slow and clear, "On May 2, a company known as Sea Industry sent ten
million dollars to your account. Please explain the origin of the huge remittance."
Grin felt a pang of nervousness, "I... I just did some private business outside."
"What kind of private business?" Vinton asked.
Grin was trembling and could not speak.
"Let me speak for you." Vinton snorted, "Someone gave you a sum of money to switch the newly
purchased diamonds from Millennium Company, right?"
Grin was frightened that he was sweat all over his back. He couldn't help but look at Pitkin. Pitkin tried
his best to keep calm, and there was only a piece of flesh on his face bouncing violently.
"Godin from the Warehouse Department stole the diamond. Hasn't he admitted it? He even handed out
the stolen diamond. It has nothing to do with me," Grin argued.
"I'll give you one more chance. As long as you are honest and confess the identity of the mastermind,
you will be dealt with lenient from Millennium Company," Vinton said seriously.
Grin wiped the sweat on his forehead, and when he was about to speak, he heard the low cough of
Pitkin, so he quickly shut his mouth. "This matter... It really has nothing to do with me. You can't just
accuse me to have switched the diamond only judging from the money on my account. You have to
show evidence to prove everything."
"You have lost your chance." Vinton's eyes narrowed with menace. He took out his phone and showed
the video to the liquid crystal display. It was from Godin's son who handed it to Malcolm. Grin came to
see Godin, in an excuse to help him to cure his son, and let him take all the charges. Godin's son
couldn't bear to see his father take the risk for his own life because of his sickness, so he secretly
recorded their conversation.
Grin slid down from his chair and sat on the floor limply.
"Now you'd better tell me honestly who gave you orders," Vinton said.
Grin sneaked a glance at Pitkin. When he received his warning eyes, he lowered his head and did not
speak.
But Essie knew that he didn't dare to speak it out, and she didn't care at all whether he could testify or
not. It wouldn't stop the ongoing of the meeting. She would be the host of the crucial final part of the
meeting.
"Well, you can leave the matter of Grin to the police. Now let's talk about the Xu's foundation." She said
slowly, "The reason why Mr. Baron founded this foundation is to help people in need of help in the
society. But when a man like Uncle Godin who was in need of help came to see the charity
foundations, he was rejected. Where did the annual funding of 100 million dollars spend?" All of a
sudden, Essie raised her voice and snapped at them, which scared someone in the room.
In the huge conference room, everyone sighed.
Essie turned to look at Pitkin and said, "Mr. Wang, as the vice president of the foundation, can you
explain it to everyone?"
"Of course the fund for the charity is used to donate money to Hope primary school, disaster stricken
area and poverty-stricken mountainous area. For something as trivial as Godin's, you don't have to use
the money of the foundation," Mr. Wang replied unhurriedly.
"Then which Hope primary school do you donate to and which disaster stricken area?" Essie stared at
him coldly.
I don't know the details. All of them were done by other staff." Pitkin snorted.
"Of course you know, because they are all in the account of the company called Sea Industry!" Essie
said in a cold voice, like a slap in the face.
Everyone was shocked.
"Isn't that the company who transferred money to Grin and instructed him to steal diamond from us?"
said one of the supervisors.
"What kind of company is this? How dare they do this!" another one said angrily.
Pitkin gave her a black look to Essie, "If you are able to do that, you can go to look up that Sea
Industry. Stop talking nonsense with me here. These things have nothing to do with me."
Essie snorted. "If I hadn't found it out, I wouldn't have held this staff meeting for you."
"You..." Pitkin's forehead was sweating.
"The legal representative of Sea Industry is called Haley. She is your old mistress, and the company's
purpose is to help you and your brother Luke wash the black money. Xu's Foundation transferred the
money to your exclusive private account in the name of donation, the money is immediately transferred
to the company account of Sea Industry, and then it transferred to Luke and your private account in the
United States." Every word uttered by Essie was like a sharp knife, which made Pitkin's face contorted
in pain.
"You're slandering me. Where is the evidence?" Pitkin wanted to make the last struggle.
"Your old lover, Haley was invited to the economic and Criminal Investigation Bureau yesterday. She
has told the police the crime that you and Luke committed." With a sneer, she continued, "Look back.
Director Li of the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau is sitting at the last row. When the meeting is
over, he will take you and Grin away." After a pause, she added, "Your brother Luke has been taken
away one step prior than you. You two brothers can keep each other company inside."
Pitkin felt completely discouraged and collapsed on the chair. He stared at Vinton, trying to seize the
last life-saving straw. "Vinton, I'm your uncle. You have to save me. You can't let this woman lock me
up."
"Uncle, please cooperate with Director Li and seek leniency," said Vinton with a calm look.
Essie glanced at the people present and said, "The Xu group has withdrawn the accusation against
Godin. The Xu's Foundation will provide assistance to his son's case. Who else among you is involved
in this matter? You'd better take the initiative to confess it to Mr. Ji. Don't wait for me to investigate one
by one. Whoever harbor the thought that you can get away with it luckily, I will let you spend your life in
jail if I find out!"
The arrest of the Wang brothers was a warning to others in order to prevent future troubles. As for the
insignificant members, she could give them a chance to turn over a new leaf. It was also a way to
cultivate popularity.
They looked at each other, with admiration for the new CEO growing in their hearts.
At the villa by the lakeside.
Zac poured two glasses of champagne and handed one to her. "Congratulations! You cut off Elizabeth's
arms!"
Essie tapped his glass again. "Thanks to your ingenious foresight, I decided to wait for the day and
really caught the two big rabbits."
"Don't forget, I will help you on one condition." Zac suddenly reached out and held her. "Ah, don't be
ridiculous." She quickly put the glass on the tea table and took out a tissue, trying to wipe the
champagne on her hand, but he stopped it.
He took her hand to his lips.
Satisfied, he put his hands on the back of his head and leaned against the bed, looking at her playfully.
"Is this your condition?" She lifted her wet hair in front of her forehead and asked weakly.
"Do you have other value?" He asked back. His teasing tone was like a cold wind, freezing her beating
heart instantly.
"I hate you now!" She said in a fit of pique.
His black eyes flashed a cold light. "You're not pleasing either," he said coldly.
She frowned and seemed to be irritated. As a carp fish leaped up, she struggled to sit up. She held his
head with two little hands and shook it hard. "Remember everything now! Give me back the old ice guy!
Give me back my ice guy!"
Zac was about to faint. He grabbed her hands irritably and put them behind his back to keep them from
moving.
"Let me go. I want to wake up all the parts of your hippocampus."
"Silly woman, You asked for it."
When she realized his intention, her face turned pale. She dared not to move, but it was too late.
"I like obedient women. Remember, don't provoke me." He...
"You are a devil, a beast. You are not my ice guy anymore." Her eyes were red, and the tears spread in
them, and then burst out uncontrollably.
His heart inexplicably trembled, and an unspeakable love came out of his subconsciousness, but his
expression was still indifferent. He opened his thin lips and slowly said, "I never belong, and I can't
belong to any woman."
Tears welled up in her eyes. She pulled the quilt over her head and cried bitterly.
His heart seemed to have been broken by crying, which was so hurt that he was distracted. "Silly
woman, your eyes are swollen with tears like this. You look ugly, you know?"
"I don't care whether I'm ugly or not. You don't remember me anyway!" She sobbed and said in a vague
voice, "I really hope that they shot at me that day. As long as you remember me, it doesn't matter if I
died."
"I haven't liked you in the past, have I? If I have, why don't I have any memory?" Zac said coldly and
cruelly on purpose to suppress the pity in his heart.
