The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 

Oscar tried to snatch her mouse, but Arabella beat him to the punch. “Did you think deleting it meant I wouldn’t have copies?” 

“What the hell are you trying to do?” Oscar couldn’t help but roar in anger, his face red with fury as he glared at her. 

“Calm down, I just want to clear up some things, Arabella replied, confidence radiating from her eyes. She casually asked, “Over the past year, all the fabric scraps left from our production line, did you have them all thrown into the waste site?” 

Oscar guessed what she was getting at. “Why the hell should we keep useless scraps? To take up space?” 

“But as far as I know, you’ve been selling them and making a pretty penny…” 

Arabella confidently stated, “Every month, you’ve been sending the leftover scraps to the waste site where you meet with the recycling company’s people and sell the scraps for three bucks a hundred pounds.” 

Even though it’s only three bucks for a hundred pounds… 

The amount of scraps generated each month was colossal, with a weight to match… 

“All year round, just by selling scraps, you’ve pocketed sixty–nine thousand dollars, am I wrong, Mr. Oscar?” 

Oscar’s face turned ashen. He never thought she would dig into such a trivial matter! 

There were no cameras at the waste site, and no one else was present at their transactions. How the hell did she find out? 

How could this be… 

Ever since this woman took over the company, he felt like she knew everything, like he couldn’t hide anything from her. 

“It’s because there are records of the transactions,” Arabella answered his question in a leisurely manner. 

Oscar fumed in silence. Those damned fools! He had explicitly told them not to keep records, not to leave evidence, but they didn’t listen! Look where that got them! 

“By the way, do you remember the time you encouraged a bunch of employees to gamble online at the company’s first–month celebration?” Arabella smugly asked. 

Before the purchasing department head, the manager, the line leaders, and the warehouse supervisor were arrested, they all mentioned it. 

That night, everyone got hammered. Oscar bragged about a betting site where you could win big. He even showed everyone his withdrawal amount, which was over sixty grand… 

Although everyone was initially skeptical, some people started winning a lot of money after a few bets, and could directly withdraw into their bank 

accounts… 

So they bet more and more, even inviting their friends and relatives. 

Unexpectedly, the site kept raising the withdrawal limit. First, it said you needed fifty grand to withdraw, so they put all their money in. Then it said you needed a hundred grand, so they borrowed a ton of money. Even after betting several hundred grand, they couldn’t get their money back…. 

After owing a mountain of debt, Oscar coerced them into betraying the company…
