Chapter 242 Payment

“I understand. I’ll keep people watching the Sutton family.”

Zane paused before adding

“And you should be careful too. Boss.”

When people are cornered, there’s no telling what they might do.

Iris hung up and opened her chat with Ares.

[Do you have any free time lately? My aunt wants to take us out to dinner.]

She had barely sent the message before a reply appeared.

Il do. I need to stop by the hospital tomorrow, but after that I’m free.]

Hospital?

Iris frowned.

You’re injured?]

Ares was more than capable of handling himself. What exactly had happened in Westside?

+30 Free Cons

[No. A few Alliance Secure Mission members suffered minor injuries. They’re being observed overnight and should be discharged tomorrow if everything looks good. Don’t worry.]

As if anticipating her doubts, he immediately sent a photo.

Several men appeared in the picture.

None looked seriously hurt.

Most only had a few bandages wrapped around an arm or shoulder.

The moment they noticed the camera, they grinned and flashed peace signs.

Only then did Iris relax.

Still, she wasn’t entirely sure he had understood what she meant before, so she decided to say it again.

There’s a problem inside Alliance Secure Mission. Be careful.]

After a briet pause, his response came..

I know I

Ares lowered his phone and looked across the room at the injured men quietly receiving treatment

Chapter 242 Payment

Alliance Secure Mission was different from GHE

GHE was simply a platform–a marketplace where hackers operated dependend

Alliance Secure Mission, however, was a umed organization that accepted bounty missioMAX

If corruption spread inside an organization like that, the consequens could be severe

When Iris had directed him to Westside earlier he had already understood the warning hiken her words

What fascinated him was how quickly she’d seen it.

It had been her first time meeting most of the Alliance Secure Mission members

Yet she had spotted the underlying issue almost immeshatelh

Being warned by someone else felt one way

Being warned by her felt entirely different

A new message appeared on Iris’s screen.

[I’d like to receive that kind of concern more often]

The corners of Iris’s lips lifted unconsciously

Late that night, the lights in the Sutton family study were still on.

“Honey, sit down already.”

Vanessa rubbed her temples as she watched Samuel pace back and forth

“You’re making me dizzy.”

“How am I supposed to calm down?” Samuel snapped.

For the past few days, he had managed to convince himself there was a reasonable explanation.

Maybe there was a processing delay.

Maybe the transfer was being held up somewhere.

But now?

The man who had introduced him to the investment opportunity had vanished completely

li was as if he had never existed.

No messages.

No calls.

Nourace.

And the money?

Not a single dollar had appeared.

“Keep your voice down!” Vanessa frowned. “You’ll wake Olivia.”

Then she waved dismissively.

“Even if the savings are gone, we still have the company. We can always make more money.”

Samuel stopped pacing. His body suddenly felt heavy. He collapsed onto the couch and buned his face in

his hands.

Vanessa stared at him.

A bad feeling settled in her stomach.

“What’s with that expression?” She grabbed his arm. “The company’s doing fine, isn’t it?”

A muffled voice escaped through his fingers.

“I invested the company’s operating funds too.”

Vanessa shot to her feet. “What?!”

“You told me you only used our savings and Vivian’s money!” She pointed at him furiously. “You took company funds without even discussing it with me?”

Samuel yanked at his hair in frustration.

“The investment worked every other time! I thought if we went all in once, we’d make a fortune.”

“There were so many places we needed money, and I just-”

“So what do we do now?” Vanessa interrupted. “Can we still find that guy? This is fraud, isn’t it? What did the lawyers say?”

Samuel let out a long breath.

“I went to the office tonight. Our legal department looked into it.”

“Did he ever tell you there was a possibility of loss?”

“If it comes down to it… our other houses and cars…”
