The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 2137

Every name on the list was someone Sanderson knew well, more than well.

Over the years, Sanderson had collaborated with them to siphon off a hefty fortune from The Strand Group, and they all had fattened their wallets through the company's profits.

"That's all of them," Jacob finished reading the names. "These individuals are suspected of embezzlement, as well as accepting bribes and kickbacks. The Financial Crimes Unit is already on the case."

Sanderson's eyes flickered sharply.

"And the amount involved is not insignificant. Let's take a guess, how much money do you think these fat cats have skimmed from The Strand Group?" Jacob's demeanor returned to his usual amiable smile as he glanced around the boardroom at the shareholders.

Silence fell over the room. Matthew spoke up, "With so many people, it can't be a small figure. What are we talking about, over a hundred million?"d2

Jacob raised his hand, his long fingers casually waving as the corners of his mouth turned down. "Based on the evidence I have, it's a whopping 2.3 billion."

Two decades had passed, and these people had been pilfered bit by bit, amassing to an eye-watering sum of 2.3 billion.

"What? 2.3 billion?!" The room erupted in chaos, especially among the shareholders who felt less personally involved. After all, it was their money at stake too, their shares.

"And that's just what I have evidence for. Given more time, the Financial Crimes Unit will surely uncover more. You know, the Financial Crimes Unit at B City is no joke."

Jacob leaned back in his chair, continuing, "Additionally, over the next month, I'll be making sweeping changes to The Strand Group's personnel, from top to bottom. Any role could see a shift. For this month, there will be no performance reviews for any department."

The room buzzed with reactions once more.

Jacob's gaze turned to Sanderson, whose face had turned ashen.
