Although Richard had received a sum of money from Natasha, it was not enough to develop games. So, he had embezzled a sum of money from Harper Group using Mr. Harper’s name, planning to make money from the game and reimburse the money he took, but…
Who let the cat out of the bag?
Before this, Mr. Harper still had some prestige among the Harper Group. If word got out, then the Harper Family was done for!
Richard immediately rushed to Harper Group, only to find Mr. Harper had been driven out of the company and was currently packing up his belongings.
Generally speaking, it would not be any problem if the money was reimbursed. So, why was Mr. Harper being driven out of Harper Group?
“Father, what’s going on?” Richard hurriedly asked.
Glaring at Richard, Mr. Harper was furious and he was reluctant to speak to Richard. He took his belongings and got into the car before the driver sped off quickly.
Watching the car speeding off, Richard felt ashamed. Suddenly, a honeyed voice came from behind. “Father was just fired, so he’s not in a good mood. Let him go.”
Upon hearing that voice, Richard instantly felt his stomach twist. Turning around, he saw Xyla walking down the steps.
Today, Xyla was dressed as enchanting and sexy as ever. She wore a dress with a plunging neckline, exposing her pale skin. Walking by her sides were her beautiful male assistant and secretary.
As she approached him, she wrinkled her nose and furrowed her eyebrows. “I heard your company was splashed with feces. How disgusting!” she covered her nose and said pitifully, but her eyes were full of mockery.
Although Richard had changed, the smell still lingered on him. Coldly, he stared at her as he gritted his teeth. “You b*tch! You’re the one who drove my father away!”
Unsatisfied, Xyla snapped, “How could you say that? Your father embezzled public funds. They were going to turn him over to the court, and I was the one that changed their minds. I saved your family! How could you blame me?”
Upon hearing that, Richard remained silent while he trembled with rage. His handsome face turned pale, but he did not say anything in the end. He felt pitiful that he was being suppressed by a woman!
In her stilettos, Xyla walked away with her handsome young assistant and secretary. They even deliberately avoided walking past Richard as they left.
Turning around abruptly, Richard coldly uttered, “Sophia told you.”
It was a statement rather than a question.
There was no possibility that so many things could happen in one day. The only possibility was that Sophia had found out about the embezzlement and told Xyla. Then, Xyla had taken the opportunity to cause trouble and drive Mr. Harper out of Harper Group so she could dominate the company!
Without saying anything, Xyla turned around and mysteriously chuckled. “That’s because you didn’t want to share!”
So, it was Sophia! It was the both of them! He thought.
At that moment, the assistant respectfully opened the car door for Xyla. With one hand on the car door, she turned around abruptly and enchantingly before speaking in a relaxed and ordinary tone, “You should go home. Mother and Father are having a divorce. Mother is trying to claim half the shares Father owns, as well as the house and property.”
Divorce?
How did this happen? Richard was confused.
Slam!
