The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer) novel Chapter 733

What a strategical retreat to save himself!

To have a subordinate who pocketed kickbacks, Winslow naturally had to bear the responsibility for being the department head, which was why he had chosen not to point a finger at his subordinate altogether.

He had taken the initiative to let Jennifer impose a penalty so that he could fight for a chance to gain control of the situation.

Instead of falling under someone else's thumb, he reckoned that it would be better for him to volunteer for a punishment.

Amelia, for one, was least expecting Winslow to be that shameless to deny every last one of his own misdeeds.

Watching Amelia freeze in the spot without speaking up, Sven piped up, “Ms. Ellis, if you think Mr. Moore's closely related to this matter, you will have to present us with more evidence to prove his involvement in it. Do you have any?”

Of course, it was not his intention to stick up for Winslow. It was just that the latter was one of the directors, and his standing in the company was poles apart from that of Amelia.

Should they approve of the presumption of guilt made against Winslow, there was no telling if Donald would arrange for someone else to set them up in the same way and coerce them into stepping down in the future.

Amelia bit her lip, unable to come up with a refute.

Before showing up that day, she had been pretty confident that the information she had prepared was more than sufficient to make Winslow confess to his wrongdoings.

The last thing she anticipated was Winslow staging a pretense like that. Not only did he shake off all allegations against him, but he even landed an opportunity to retire early and escape the hurdle unscathed.

“Looks like you've got no other proof, Ms. Ellis.” Sven turned to Jennifer and continued, “Ms. Wilson, this case's really a big one. I believe a further investigation is required. But before we begin the investigation, why don't we go with Mr. Moore's wish and relieve him of his duties for the time being? If he's found innocent after the investigation, we can then reinstate him.”

Winslow took a sidelong glance at Donald, his eyes shining with disdain.

He had long expected Donald and Amelia to deal with him.
