“So… you really falsified the accounts?”

Celia understood immediately. Even though she hated it, she had no choice but to cooperate.

“Mr. Donovan… please let me explain. I’m only responsible for bookkeeping. How could I possibly move company funds on my own?”

Mr. Donovan slammed his teacup onto the table.

Then he turned back toward Iris, forcing himself to suppress his anger.

“My apologies, Miss Noir. It appears we have an internal problem within the company. I’m sorry you had to witness this. Why don’t you head back for now? Once we’ve completed our investigation, I’ll personally invite you back.”

Iris wasn’t buying it.

“We came here today to collect a debt.”

“And while we’re here…”

“We don’t mind helping you trace exactly where the missing money went.”

Mr. Donovan’s expression stiffened.

‘Of course I know where it went. I transferred every dollar overseas for illegal investments. If she uncovers that… I’m finished.‘

Iris looked him straight in the eye.

“Or…”

“Are you afraid there are certain things you don’t want us to discover?”

Teddy forced an awkward smile.

“That’s impossible, Miss Noir. You’re overthinking things.”

But judging from Iris’s expression, he knew this matter wasn’t going to disappear so easily.

What a troublesome woman.

He glanced at his secretary, Celia Chen.

She immediately understood the signal.

“Mr. Donovan, actually…” Celia said hesitantly, “the company has been suffering serious losses lately. You didn’t want Mrs. Donovan to find out, so you asked me to prepare those questionable financial statements. I just haven’t had the chance to explain everything yet…”

Donovan sighed on cue.

“So that’s what happened.” He turned toward Iris. “My wife’s family owns a significant stake in this Company Naturally, I didn’t want her worrying.”

Then he offered another practiced smile.

“You’ve heard the situation, Miss Noir. The company truly doesn’t have the funds available right wow. Could you please speak with President Walker and ask for a little more time?”

Iris nodded.

Now she understood.

He intended to fight this all the way.

No wonder Stellar Venture’s representatives had struggled every previous time they tried collecting the

debt.

“The company is suffering serious losses?” Iris gave a thoughtful hum.

Then she looked toward the reception room doorway.

“I assume you heard all of that, Mrs. Donovan?”

“What?”

Donovan followed her gaze in confusion.

The moment he saw who was standing there, his face turned pale.

His wife.

“Darling… why are you here?”

Carrying a limited–edition designer handbag, Mrs. Donovan walked in with a cold smile.

“I’m here to see how the company our families jointly invested in is supposedly suffering such devastating losses.”

One of Stellar Venture’s employees entered behind her and returned to stand near Iris.

Zane’s assistant blinked. “Miss Noir… you sent him to get Mrs. Donovan?”

The employee nodded. “She told me to bring her here and simply mention that someone from Stellar Venture had arrived to collect a debt.”

The assistant still didn’t understand. “But even if Mrs. Donovan came, the company still doesn’t have the money, right?”

Iris looked at Mr. Donovan.
