Chapter 256 A Cold World
“Jack Davis!” It was him!
Ivan called out the name angrily. He thought it would benefit them that Jack went abroad and could not be contacted. Unexpectedly, Jack had colluded with Smith Group long ago and sold all their evidence to them.
D*mn it. D*mn it!
“Tansy Group has treated him so well, yet he betrayed us. He’s really ungrateful.‘
David pushed his glasses and said coldly, “Smith Group must have given him a lot of benefits, so he betrayed us. But it’s not the time to talk about this. President Smith, Mr. Ivan. We have to return to the company as
soon as possible and figure it out sooner.”
Clare and Ivan looked at each other and nodded.
“Yes. Tell all the employees not to panic and believe that news, and keep working. Make sure to stabilize the company.”
They were about to leave when suddenly the manager rushed over, “The police are coming.”
Clare froze. They didn’t expect the police to come so quickly!
Ivan panicked and held Clare’s arm tightly, “Dad, what should we do now!”
“Don’t worry!” Although Clare was feared, he had to stay calm. He patted Ivan on the shoulder and looked at
David with a severe face.
“The police will take Ivan and me away. Please help us to sort things out.”
Clare had helped David, so he was sure David would not betray him.
Sure enough, David nodded solemnly, “President Smith, Mr. Ivan. Don’t worry. I will help you come back
safe.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the policeman walked into the room, “Clare Smith, Ivan Smith. Someone reported that Tansy Group had evaded 14 million dollars in taxes. Come with us.”
Clare and Ivan did not refute and obediently followed the police into the police car.
It was a bustling area where many people were around. Someone took a picture of Ivan and Clare getting into the police car and posted it on the Internet.
The news of the tax evasion was confirmed with the police’s presence.
Tansy Group saw a dramatic fall in its reputation. Its stock price dropped a lot in just a few minutes. If they
couldn’t survive this time, Tansy Group would be completely done.
David asked the people from the public relations department to return to the company to work overtime. They didn’t dare to complain. It was true that they were loose about what had happened. They didn’t work in publicity immediately. As a result, it worsened, and they couldn’t compensate for the loss.
After the people from the public relations department left, David drove to Ivan’s residence by himself.
The evidence of tax evasion was solid. Clare and Ivan could come out if the tax was paid up. Otherwise, they were likely to be sentenced.
Fortunately, Ivan had made preparations to transfer all the property to Hulda. Otherwise, all the property under his name would be seized.
When David arrived at Ivan’s residence, the lights in the villa were still on. He was anxious and rushed in.
Hulda was sitting on the couch in the living room, drinking coffee. She stood up quickly when she saw David rushing in, “What’s the matter? What happened?”
“Hul… Oh, no. Mrs. Smith!” David quickly changed the address and said, “Mr. Ivan was in big trouble. He was taken to the police station with President Smith. We need to pay more than 14 million dollars in taxes. Please take the money and follow me to get them out.”
Hulda was stunned for a moment, then her face turned serious, and she held David back, “No!”
David looked at her coldly, “Mrs. Smith? What do you mean? Mr. Ivan transferred all his property to your name. Will you let him die and run away with the property?”
After hearing what David said, Hulda felt wronged and sad, “What are you talking about? How could I betray
Ivan? Ivan did transfer his properties to my name, but I can’t take out more than 14 million immediately!”
Ivan discovered Cynthia had cut off several Smith Group’s projects and used all money on other projects. Therefore, they didn’t even have seven million, not to mention 14 million.
David covered his face, not knowing how to get the money.
choice. I can only sell the houses Ivan transferred to my name. Maybe we can get 14 million, and…”
