Violet moved her lips. It took a long time for her to speak, "But why I don't know at all?"
"Of course you don't know, because your father hasn't told you yet, you have already..."
"Stanley!" Phoebe suddenly interrupted him sharply.
She couldn't let him say the following words, saying Violet eloped with other men.
If so, her lie would be exposed!
Thinking of here, Phoebe pulled Stanley’s sleeves. Her face was pale. She managed to force a smile, "Stanley, we will not talk about the past, okay? Now the person engaged to you is me. I am the one who held the engagement banquet with you!"
Stanley frowned and pulled the sleeves out, "Of course my fiancée is you, but!"
He looked down at her condescendingly, "This is also the last chance I give you. If you do these things again, even if you saved me five years ago, I will cancel the marriage contract with you."
"Okay, okay, I won't do it again. I will never do it again. I swear!" Phoebe quickly raised three fingers.
Violet curled her lips secretly.
She would not believe Phoebe's nonsense.
She exposed the identity that Phoebe cared most about in public. How could Phoebe not target her?
Just when Violet was thinking about it, Phoebe's cell phone rang suddenly.
Phoebe wiped her tears and took out her phone to answer, "Dad."
"Phoebe, something happened! Our company has been reported that our products are of substandard quality, as well as tax evasion and fraudulent accounting. Now several departments have come to investigate."
"What?" Phoebe exclaimed.
Violet and Stanley looked at each other, not knowing what happened. What could make Phoebe so panic?
"Who reported it?" Phoebe grabbed the phone and asked.
"I called you just because I didn't know it. Ask Stanly to help me check it out?" Eason said anxiously and hung up the phone.
Phoebe put down the phone, "Stanley, my Dad’s company is in trouble."
She told the content of the phone call just now.
Violet frowned first, then sneered.
In the past, when the Hunt Group was managed by her mother, this kind of things never happened!
Now without her mother, all the problems came out all of a sudden, including tax evasion and fraudulent accounting. No wonder that after seven years, the Hunt Group had not made any progress.
"I'll help you find out who reported the Hunt Group." Stanley patted the sleeves that Phoebe had just grabbed, and spoke faintly.
However, not waiting for Phoebe to be happy, he said again, "But what happens after it is found?"
"What do you mean?" Phoebe was stunned.
Violet smiled, "Mr. Murphy meant that even if he found out who made the report, he would not be able to recover the serious damage that the Hunt Group suffered this time. Tax evasion and fraudulent accounting are not trivial things, but illegal. If your Dad doesn’t want to go to jail, he could only double the tax back. But then the Hunt Group..."
She didn't say the following words.
But Phoebe already knew that after making up the tax, the Hunt Group would have no money and would be on the verge of bankruptcy!
No, she must not go bankrupt. She finally replaced Violet and became Miss Hunt. If the Hunt family went bankrupt, she would have nothing!
"Stanley, you will help me, right?" Phoebe stared at Stanley closely.
Stanley put his hand in his trouser pocket, "Tell me how to help? Even if Eason pays the tax back and doesn’t have to go to jail, he has become a person with poor credit and will be recorded by the relevant departments. If I help him with financing, the Murphy Group will also be targeted by relevant departments. I will not take this risk."
Stanley's refusal completely made Phoebe's heart sank.
Only Violet was not surprised.
