After the morning jog, Katherine came to the company after returning home to change her clothes.
As soon as she entered the office, Bella, the manager of the Finance Department hurried over and said, "Miss Hunt, I have something to report."
Since Ewan was dismissed a while ago, the position of deputy general manager had been vacant.
In order to mollify Sidney, Old Lady Hunt let Katherine be temporarily the deputy general manager and concurrently as the person in charge of the project in Binhu District. It could be said that Katherine was the most powerful person in the company except Old Lady Hunt.
It was precisely because Katherine had taken Ewan's position that Ewan hated Katherine's guts.
"What's the matter?"
Bella hesitated slightly and asked tentatively, "Miss Hunt, have you agreed to give the money to Mr. Hunt?"
"What do you mean?" Katherine felt something was wrong.
"Today, Mr. Hunt came to the Finance Department early in the morning, brought the proof you gave him, and took away 1.5 million dollars, saying that he was going to buy building materials."
Katherine was shocked and cried out, "How is it possible? How could I give it to him? Besides, he and I are against with each other. Even if I have to buy building materials, I won't let him do the stuff. Why don't you tell me in advance? "
"I…"
Bella was a girl less than thirty years old. When she was scolded by Katherine, she panicked and felt wronged.
Katherine knew that her attitude was not good.
Bella was not to be blamed for this incident. Ewan was domineering and fierce. Although he was dismissed, he was the young master in the Hunt Family, the grandson of Old Lady Hunt. Everyone in the company was afraid of him.
A little manager naturally didn’t dare to offend him.
"Did you see the proof clearly?" Katherine was so angry.
"Yes, it is indeed your official seal on it. The seal was brightly printed and it looked like that it was put on just now. So I didn't doubt it. I wanted to call you, but Mr. Hunt scolded me, so..."
Katherine quickly opened her drawer. Sure enough, her official seal was gone.
This guy actually stole the official seal.
How did he get in? Only she and her secretary had the key.
Her secretary...
Katherine was about to make a call. Bella asked cautiously, "Miss Hunt, are you calling May?"
"Yes."
"She and Mr. Hunt left."
Bella was able to become a financial manager so she was not stupid. She guessed, "It's obvious. May opened the office and gave the official seal to Mr. Hunt. The two forged proof. They might go out to have fun now!"
"Asshole!"
Katherine patted the table fiercely.
She had never been so angry before. May was promoted by her. Katherine was very kind to May. Besides, she gave May high salary. She did not expect to be betrayed.
This feeling was really unspeakable. Although she was angry, she felt more upset.
The assets of the Hunt Family were not much. Although they signed a contract with Chengyu Group and got some design and construction funds, 1.5 million was not a small amount after all.
If she didn't pursue it, Old Lady Hunt would think it was her who took it away.
"No, we have to chase it back."
Katherine gave the call.
After a few seconds, the phone connected. A lazy voice came from the other end.
"What’s up?"
"Ewan, do you know what you are doing? Embezzlement of public funds! You want to be expelled from the family?"
Ewan chuckled, "What am I afraid of? You took this money. It has nothing to do with me."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me. I got on you. As long as I want to do it, you will fall into disrepute and become a celebrity in J City and even the Internet."
Ewan became more and more angry. His voice became sharp and harsh, "Damn it, fight with me? I will kill you!"
"I don't know what you are talking about. Give the money back quickly. Otherwise, I will tell Grandma. You are waiting to be..."
Beep, beep.
The phone was hung up!
Katherine was so mad and anxious.
According to the noise from the phone, Katherine knew Ewan was having fun in the club. This jerk!
"Miss Hunt, report to Old Lady Hunt. I will help you testify it."
Katherine looked back and saw Bella's firm expression.
"After all, they took the money from me. Because I was afraid of Mr. Hunt, I didn't call you to confirm. I have an inescapable responsibility. Regardless of the consequences, even if I will be dismissed or demanded for compensation, I will accept it!"
Bellasaid firmly.
Katherine was very pleased that the company still had such employees. Her anger had finally been reduced a lot.
