Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1380
“Wayne, is there anything you’d like to tell me?” Fabian asked in a grave tone, hoping that the man would answer honestly.
“What are you trying to say, Mr. Norton?” Wayne pretended to be confused.
He figured that Fabian might have worked everything out. However, he wasn’t going to admit his wrongdoings without hearing Fabian outrightly saying what he did. After all, Fabian could be pretending like he knows to lure me into admitting. He wasn’t going to risk getting caught, even if there was only a slim chance of escape.
“Oh? Let’s try a different approach then since you seem confused as to what I mean.”
Fabian continued with a snarl, “You seem to believe that I would harm you just because you embezzled eighty million.”
Thud!
As soon as Fabian said this, Wayne fell to his knees. He knew then that Fabian had definitely figured everything out.
Fabian’s dark eyes flashed with disappointment as he stared at Wayne.
“Mr. Norton, I… I’m sorry,” Wayne choked. He wasn’t afraid of what would happen next; rather, it was because he truly felt sorry for betraying Fabian.
Wayne was originally a mere programmer in Phoenix Group. He was fortunate that Fabian saw potential in him and often requested him to carry out tasks. Little by little, as he aided Fabian, he was eventually promoted to being Phoenix Group’s general manager.
Fabian scoffed coldly in response, not saying a single word.
“Mr. Norton, I know that there’s no use saying anything now, but I just can’t comprehend one thing.”
Wayne was an intelligent man. After being recruited by Lyna, he knew that their fates were bound together for better or for worse.
So he made sure to monitor the others who acted under Lyna’s command. However, even until now, he didn’t know which of those people were caught by Fabian or if anyone ratted them out.
Fabian understood what Wayne meant. He knew that the man wanted to know how or why they got caught.
