Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2882

On her way back to the office, the more Milanda thought about what had happened, the angrier she became. Unable to hold it in, she called Eugene and told him everything that had happened at his company that day.

Eugene was taken aback. “I never asked anyone to contact Sylvia!”

Milanda replied heatedly, “So someone set a trap for our boss on purpose? Luckily, she had an unexpected emergency today and I went in her place. Otherwise, those people would have gotten exactly what they wanted!”

Eugene was silent for a moment, then his tone turned cold. “I’ll get to the bottom of this and make sure Sylvia gets an explanation.”

He added, “Tell Sylvia to be extra careful these next few days. And let her know that if I need to contact her, I’ll call her directly—no assistants involved.”

“Got it!”

After hanging up, Eugene immediately called Mrs. Winters. “Mom, where are you?”

Mrs. Winters, in the middle of a card game and in high spirits after winning some money, replied, “I’m playing cards with Mrs. Lee and the others. What’s going on?”

Eugene got straight to the point. “Did you have someone deliberately insult Sylvia?”

Mrs. Winters hesitated for a second, then quickly denied it. “No, I would never do something like that!”

“Then who did?” Eugene pressed.

Mrs. Winters’ eyes darted, but she said nothing.

“Mom, you transferred $800,000 out of the company account a couple of days ago. I haven’t told Dad yet. If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll have accounting start a full audit right now.”

Mrs. Winters was startled. “I have shares in the company—what’s wrong with me moving some money?”

“You and Dad hold those shares jointly. You can explain it to him yourself,” Eugene said icily, preparing to hang up.
