Chapter 347
Debra’s eyes turned cold. “I understand what you mean, Mr. Hardy, but whether or not I am involved in corruption or illegally transferring company assets, your people should be able to find out, right?”
“We’re still investigating. For now, please bear with us for a few days.”
*A few days? It seems you do think of me as a criminal
“Not at all. We’re just following procedures. I’ll figure out a way, I promise.”
“I won’t make things difficult for you. Since your people are having such a hard time investigating, let my people handle it.”
“Well…”
“Finding evidence is all that matters, isn’t it?”
Pedro sighed. “You’re right. I’ll contact your people now. As long as we can find evidence and cover up that missing money, you should be fine.”
Debra didn’t respond, her silence serving as a tacit agreement.
Pedro hesitated before adding, “There’s one more thing”
“Is there more bad news that you haven’t told me?”
“It’s Miss Mathis. She’s been causing a commotion outside, wanting to see you, but according to the rules, she can’t come in now. Could you persuade her to leave? The situation is really not good.”
He couldn’t afford to offend either of them. Erica was backed by Randy, while Debra was backed by Marion. Pedro was already at the end of his wits.
Debra’s expression softened at the mention of Erica. In her previous life, she didn’t have many friends. Erica was the first real friend she had since her rebirth. She could imagine how worried Erica must be.
Debra replied, “Just tell her I’m fine and not to worry. She should go back and not contact anyone on my behalf.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes.”
“Alright. I’ll go tell her,” Pedro said politely, rising from his seat and leaving the room.
Debra turned to the guard standing by and asked, “You probably won’t be interrogating me today, right?”
“Probably not.”
Then arrange a cell for me.”
The guard shook his head repeatedly. “No, we can’t let you stay in a cell. We’ve received instructions from the authorities. Someone will come to take you out through the back door to the arranged accommodation.”
“Instructions? Is it Marion?”
