Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469 The Game (12) Driven Mad

Suddenly, silence fell inside the meeting room. Everyone turned their heads to the officials at the door. Three of them walked inside and produced their credentials. They said to Lee, "Please go with us, Mr Sawyer. We would like your assistance."
Lee became livid. He glanced back to his son, Charles, who looked terrible.
Why did the judicial authority suddenly place this matter on file? Was it because someone had filed it? However, he couldn't think of anyone knowing about it except for his father and Henry, as well as himself. Charles racked his brain but didn't figure it out.
Before taking Lee away, the officials said to Charles and Martina, "As you two are involved in the case, you can't leave Kensbury City before the trial. We may have some questions for you at any time."
Both Charles and Martina kept silent, looking dreadfully bad. Lee was taken away without any drivel, leaving a stiff atmosphere inside the meeting room.
On the other end of the video, Mr Jones smelled a rat, "What's going on? Why was Lee taken away by them?" He asked, clear inside his mind that Lee was taken away for breaking the law.
"Mr Jones, there must be a bit of misunderstanding. We'll tell you everything when we figure out the matter." Charles forced himself to keep his cool.
Bills' face looked graver and he said, "I hope our cooperation does not screw up at this point. Once it does, none of you Sawyer family can afford it!"
After long-term cooperation, it was the first time Hannah had seen Bills, the undisputed business champion, getting angry, dead overwhelming.
"Please be assured that our cooperation shall not go wrong." Charles tried to hold back his panic.
"I will just wait and see!" He hung up abruptly.
Charles looked at Hannah with a sullen face, seeing her steadily pick up her report papers.
"It seems I couldn't continue my report until your company manages to deal with the internal affairs." Aware of his steely eyes, she spoke with ease, giving Charles a sense of being laughed at. He stared at Hannah, pondering that it must have something to do with her, though he didn't have any evidence.
What the hell was Hannah's plot? In this project, though Cooper won praise, the genuine beneficiaries were the Bills Group and Sawyer Group. Charles had secretly scoffed at Hannah's being stupid, as Cooper made little profits from the project. He had suffered so many insults these days, but he tried to restrain himself, with the ultimate goal being his incentive-money was far more critical for Sawyer Group than reputation at this stage. But he was not reconciled to being putty in the hands of Hannah for the moment, and he wanted to figure out what had happened.
Charles left straight away the meeting room. Seeing her brother out, Martina followed him. Before she left the room, she shot Hannah an indignant glance and said, "This is nothing to gloat about! Our family shall be all fine!" Hannah shrugged, not caring about what she said. Her dismissive face drove Martina crazy.
Just watch. Her brother would bury the bitch alive one day, Martina swore.
There were only Hannah and her group in the meeting room. Rose couldn't help but ask, "Ms Hannah, what's the matter with Sawyer Group? Why was Mr Sawyer taken away?"
Hannah smiled slightly, "He was involved in a big case."
Rose was puzzled.
"What we are going to do is to wait and take advantage of it." Hannah smiled significantly.
Ross couldn't understand, nor could Tan, but he believed that Hannah did no wrong. He got a feeling that a game was beginning.
...
Charles had asked for leave to attend the meeting, so he was pulling away from Sawyer Group in his car. He made a phone call to Henry, who answered, "Good morning, Charles."
"What the hell? My father was taken away for being involved in defrauding loans. What were you doing there?"
"I don't know what you are talking about, Charles."
"Henry!" Charles was furious at once. Not being stupid, he saw Henry's hand in this immediately.
"You dare to plot against me!" Said Charles with clenched teeth.
"I don't know what you mean. If you are referring to your 1 billion loans, I can brief you that your house property certificates are faked, which were found by our company and transferred to the judicial authority. As for the follow-up, you can take the formal procedures to ask the judicial officials."
"Don't make me kill you!" Charles threatened.
Henry didn't mean to do it, but he had to out of self-preservation.
He said, "Charles, it is illegal to murder. I suggest you try to distance yourself from the matter, or every one of your family who had worked on it cannot escape legal sanctions."
"Don't you threaten me!"
"Just a suggestion, Charles."
"Henry, did you know I have proof that you made Susan have an abortion? Since you harm me, I shall relentlessly blow the whistle on your crime. Do you believe it?" Charles said fiercely. At that moment, with great fury, he felt like killing this guy. Charles had never imagined Henry should stab him in the back--he didn't expect this man to be so bold. And this made him lack preparedness. He didn't preserve evidence of Henry's involvement in the crime!
Henry said with a frown, "Then we call it even. If you choose mutual destruction, paying your good future for it, I, an average guy, will go down with you. Do you think it will be a better deal for me than for you?"
"Henry!"
"What you want to do is your business. I've offered all my suggestions. Please think it over and try not to destroy your good future." Then he hung up.
Charles threw his phone away in a burning rage.
How dare he hang up on him! What qualified him to do so?
His hands on the steering wheel were trembling. He used to believe that the international e-commerce project could dredge the fund chain of Sawyer Group, which would conversely drive the industry's development. He was disillusioned now.
"Hannah, don't let me know it was you who plotted it!" he thought to himself.
