Chapter 257 Called Out

Monica flinched. “Settle accounts with me?”

Fints

Raymond looked at her with open disdain, a mocking smile tugging at his lips. “Who’s backing you?”

Her face stiffened. “What are you talking about, Raymond? I don’t get it. Who would be backing me?”

“Funny,” Raymond said lightly. “Didn’t expect you to stab your own family in the back.”

“Raymond, what did I even do to you? Why are you suddenly coming at me like this?”

He smiled. “Are you really planning to carry all of this by yourself? Monica, don’t say I didn’t give you a

chance.”

She bit down on her lip, a chill creeping up her spine. Is he bluffing?

Bianca stared at Monica, tense, her body trembling without her realizing it.

“I didn’t do anything,” Monica insisted. “I’m part of the Hales. Why would I hurt the Hales? I have no reason to do that!”

“I recently checked accounts in Doblaria,” Raymond said calmly. “Yours and your mother’s have been receiving large transfers for a while now.

“Add it all up, and it’s almost the same as the Hales’ total assets. And the transfers started a long time ago.

“So this was planned from the start, huh, Monica?”

Her head buzzed. He even found my private accounts in Doblaria?

d my private accounts in Doblaria?

“Y-you’re making things up! That money was from when I studied in Doblaria. My dad gave it to me before I even started school!

“Raymond, how could you dig into my private information like that?

“Doblaria values privacy. You’re violating it. You could go to jail for this!”

Raymond let out a soft laugh. “Then call the cops on me. Let’s see if the authorities arrest me or take a closer look at those massive transfers in your accounts.”

He paused, then asked, “Why did you drain the Hales? You didn’t even care about your own dad?

“You couldn’t have done this alone. Who’s behind you?”

Her face went pale. “No one. No one’s helping me. I-I didn’t drain the Hales.”

He looked at her coldly.

‘I asked you before why you couldn’t come up with a single dollar when the Hales were in trouble. Now I ser. You moved it all to Doblaria.”

“I didn’t!” Monica shouted. “I didn’t! You’re lying!”

Chapter 257 Called Out

“Fine,” Raymond said. “Take out your phone. I’ll check it right now.”

Finished

Monica froze, not daring to move. She kept repeating that her phone was private, that she wouldn’t just hand it over.

At that moment, Eden walked into the conference room, carrying a laptop, and stepped forward.

On the screen, a clear flowchart of bank transactions was displayed.

“Mr. Newton, over the past few months, Hale Pharmaceuticals has made eighty abnormal transfers.

“All of them went to Doblaria, into accounts under Ms. Hale and her mother.”

Monica stared at the screen, then at Raymond. “H-how did you find-”

Before she could finish, Eden pulled up several document images.

They showed a contract between Hale Pharmaceuticals and a research institute for developing an anti- cancer drug.

There were also several data charts.

“Mr. Newton, this is the contract Mr. Hale signed with that research institute.

“I looked into them and found they’ve been penalized multiple times for falsifying patent documents.

“A company as large as Hale Pharmaceuticals wouldn’t skip background checks before a partnership, so someone must have intentionally bypassed the system.”

Eden clicked open the data charts.

These are their recorded results for the anti-cancer drug.

“I checked them. There are clear signs of tampering.

“The actual clinical results were average, but the reports show outstanding effectiveness.

“Their goal was to use these fake results to get approval, then pass off substandard drugs as legitimate for huge profit, or… possibly something else.

“And Mr. Hale’s signature on these documents also has issues

As one piece of evidence after another was laid out, Bianca /sat frozen, her eyes darting, her whole body shaking.

Monica pressed hard on her shoulder, signaling her to stay calm and not slip up.

The other shareholders were stunned, voices overlapping.

“Mr. Newton, where did you get this information? Are you sure it’s real?”
