Enterprises like Simpson Group, which have made countless contributions to Hance City, naturally receive unconditional protection.
Especially when it comes to the issue Ayan mentioned, it already involves trade secrets. The consequences and costs are something Sandra can't imagine.
If she's really labeled with this crime, she can forget about turning her life around.
Sandra's face turned pale, overwhelmed by tension and stiffness. She dared not look back at Ayan, afraid that he would notice the changes in her facial expression.
Her hand, resting on the doorknob, clenched tightly. Even her breathing seemed to subside as she spoke softly, "Mr. Simpson, you're accusing me unfairly. Although I haven't made any significant contributions at Simpson Group, you can ask Kian and John, I've always worked diligently and without any mistakes. I don't think I've done anything wrong, so you can't treat me like this!"
"The decision is in your hands, so you can choose for yourself."
Ayan glanced at the time on his phone. It had been an hour since he last contacted the kidnapper.
There was still no news from Kian, which filled him with unease.
With his patience towards Sandra wearing thin, he coldly said to her, "If you don't want to tell the truth, then leave right now. I don't want to waste any more time on you. But you should think carefully about whether you want me to find a way to protect you quickly or contact the police to incriminate you."
Sandra's phone had been confiscated before she entered the room, so there was no way for her to do anything before Ayan called the police.
Ayan continued, "Do you think it's worth sacrificing your future?"
Sandra tightly pursed her lips, her mind in a mess.
On one hand, there was her lifelong future, and on the other...
Indeed, she had something hidden from Ayan, and her resignation was indeed related to this matter. But if she confessed, would she be safe?
Summoning her courage, Sandra looked at Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, I'm sorry!"
Ayan's eyes narrowed suddenly. He knew exactly what this apology meant.
In a detached tone, he asked, "Since you've admitted it, tell me, who instructed you to do this?"
Sandra swallowed nervously, still visibly tense. She spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Simpson, if I tell you, can you guarantee my safe departure from Simpson Group without any danger?"
"That depends on your sincerity. If you continue to drag things out, I might not have the patience to negotiate any conditions with you."
Ayan showed no intention of negotiating with her.
Sandra didn't have the luxury of contemplating further. She simply wanted a sum of money to live a better life. So she honestly told Ayan, "He promised to give me one million. I want to use that money to buy a house in Hance City. Although I'm well-compensated, it's still far from enough to buy a house here. He gave me a down payment of five hundred thousand and said he only needed information about your and Mrs. Simpson's itinerary and schedule. He won't harm Mrs. Simpson, so I..."
"Sandra, I'm not here to listen to your explanations or excuses. If you want to prove your innocence in this matter, you better tell me right now, who is he?"
"It's Austin!!" Of course, Sandra knew Austin. She had frequently seen him when he joined the project with Mr. and Mrs. Bell. They would occasionally exchange greetings since he was the person in charge of the cooperating company. As assistants, they naturally needed to be polite and courteous.
After Sandra uttered Austin's name, she instantly felt a sense of relief wash over her.
