“Are you Hugh Lewis?”
The leader of the team asked Hugh sternly.
Hugh looked at him in panic and looked at the corridor. He realized that the men he brought with him were nowhere to be seen.
Ineffably, Hugh’s expression turned horrible as if a crisis was going to fall on him anytime.
“I’m asking you if you’re Hugh Lewis!” the officer yelled.
“Y-Yes,” Hugh answered with difficulty.
He knew if these people were able to show up in front of him, then they must already have concrete proof of his crimes.
“Hugh Lewis, we have sufficient proof to suspect that you’re involved in illegal fundraising and manipulating the stock prices in the dark. This is your summon. Please come with me,” the officer said in a deep voice.
Hugh gritted his teeth tightly and looked at Jasper with rancor. He growled, saying, “Did you arrange all these?”
Jasper said indifferently, “You’ve broken the law, so you were simply asking for this.”
Hugh roared, “If it wasn’t for you, how would it be possible for them to show up just in time? Stop quibbling, you’re the one who did this!”
“Hugh, you still aren’t remorseful even when death is near. We’re not working under someone, so nobody can tell us what to do. Actually, we’ve been watching you for a very long time. You’re just too egotistical and didn’t notice,” the officer said coldly.
Hugh laughed maniacally and said, “Bullsh*t! Those people’s money is for me to invest!
“You’re saying that I’m manipulating the stock prices? Jasper is the real manipulator! If not, how could Zoni have plummeted all of a sudden?”
“The investment agreement of Lantern Capital clearly states that all of the investment funds will not be used for stock speculation, so it means you’ve made a promise to your investors. Hence, this is illegal. A lot of people have reported you, you just had no idea.
“As for you saying that Jasper is also manipulating the stock price, if you have the evidence, you can report him to us too. We’ll definitely enforce the law impartially,” the officer said sternly.
