It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 318

"Of course there's no reason for the Colonel to take someone's money. We know that for sure. But not everyone knows that her husband is Edward Mu, the CEO of the FX International Group. So someone just seized the opportunity to frame her and accuse her of bribery." Mark's strained voice dropped to a murmur, as if he wanted to say more, but he changed his mind.

"Fine, I'm going to the commander. Has Mr. Mu been informed of this? What is he going to do about it?" Kevin figured that Edward would fix this mess as soon as he learned of it.

"Yes, he has. Mr. Mu was informed last night. But the Colonel doesn't know that she's been suspended. He told me not tell her anything about it since she's still ill. Mr. Mu must already have a plan in action to deal with it. He told me not to worry and that he would take care of everything." Mark was still worried despite Edward's assurance. He told Kevin about the anonymous tip, hoping to know more with Kevin's help. After all, everything Mark knew was hearsay and he couldn't confirm anything he was told.

"What? She got sick? Is it serious?" Kevin asked with so much concern that Mark stared at him in confusion. 'Does he still have a crush on Colonel? Isn't he already married? Oh my god, what is this man thinking about?' Mark thought to himself.

"Don't worry. She just came down with a fever." Mark relayed what Edward told him. He had no idea what was actually going on. But he believed Edward since there was no need for Edward to lie to him.

"I see. Is the Commander in now?" Kevin looked at his watch with a frown. The commander was probably pressured by the higher officials to suspend Daisy. Otherwise, he wouldn't suspend her since Daisy was his most valuable officer.

"He's in the office. I saw him there." Since Mark had been following the development of this matter, he kept an eye on everyone involved.

Actually, the commander was surprised when he learnt of the matter. Not long ago, he reminded Daisy to be careful. He didn't expect someone to target her so soon. Even though the commander didn't believe the accusations against Daisy, he knew that Daisy must have some vulnerable points that others could capitalize on. The commander was in deep thought when Kevin walked in.

"Commander, why did you suspend the Colonel?" Kevin didn't beat around the bush. The commander obviously knew what he came for.

"I received orders from the top. The anonymous tip is from someone who knows very well how things work in the military base. The person sent a copy of the letter to the top officials' public e-mail. Otherwise, I could've handled it myself. What's done is done. Daisy must rest at home for a while."

The commander couldn't believe that Daisy was a CEO's mistress as the letter had said, but there were pictures attached. Unable to deny the accusations, he had to follow orders.

"Who framed her? Commander, don't tell me you also believe this nonsense. You know her well. Daisy is by no means the kind of person who would take someone else's money." Kevin's voice trembled with emotion. What was the discipline inspection department doing? How could they ignore people who were actually receiving bribes and focus on an innocent person like Daisy?

"I definitely believe in her! But it doesn't matter since it's not my decision. On top of that, there's another accusation against her besides the bribery. How can I defend her now? We can't do anything but wait for the results of investigation. It's a pity, I was planning to give her a promotion since she did so well during the military exercise. I feel so sorry for her. Life can be unpredictable."

The commander sighed. It made his heart ache a lot to see Daisy being attacked by someone in this crucial moment. He had known Daisy for so many years and treated her as a beloved daughter. How could he calm down when Daisy was being investigated by the discipline department?

"Two accusations? What's the other one?" Kevin frowned, taking a swig from the bottled water in front of him. He had to hydrate himself in case another blow was coming.
