Chapter 289 - Yue International clean up (2)

"Mr. Feng, are you implying that were lying?" Henry Man sternly replied keeping his dignified front. He was also perturbed seeing the unbelievable amount of money that the company lost.

Even to him, who stayed with Chairman Yue's side for years was disappointed that this kind of conspiracy was left unnoticed. How can this happen? If it weren't for Seraphina, Henry Man was afraid that the Yue International Enterprise would declare bankruptcy in a few years. Also, the new jewelry subsidiary seemed to have more misinformation than they knew.

Although it was baffling that Seraphina gathered this evidences in a short span of time, it only proved how broad her capabilities; which are a little terrifying in a way. It was as if she could see their every little move and if ever they take the wrong path and was perceive as traitors -- all of them, even Henry Man will not be safe.

Yes, the way Seraphina handle things was akin to mafia boss who regards loyalty as one of the main points why she kept the people on her side. Although there is a seemingly huge difference between businessmen and the men in the underworld -- they actually had too many things in common. For instance, both industries were both dangerous and betrayal happens here and there.

"Chairwoman, are these doc_u_ments accurate?" Director Chu sternly inquired seeking for confirmation. After all, they were his colleagues for a long time and even though he knew their annoying nature, he can't believe that they will betray Chairman Yue behind his back. They all know the main reason why they stood above others is because od Sebatian Yue's charitable heart. Hence, biting the person who groomed them through these years were utterly disappointing and enraging.

"Hmm… I asked many legal advisor and also include the authorities to have a thorough investigation from months ago." Seraphina uttered with half of the truth and half lies. Indeed, she actually made an arrangement to involve legal personalities but also manipulated the evidence for them to find it.

"Impossible! This is slander!"

"Chairwoman, we are being framed!"

"No -- this… I'm innocent."

"Innocence? Ha! After slowly s_u_c_k_i_n_g the company dry with our money, you had the audacity to deny it?!"

Looking directly to George Yue who was keeping his silence across him, Henry Man inquired; "Director Yue, what can you say that your name is on top of the list?" Surely, Henry Man wasn't surprise about this fact as Chairman Yue himself knew that one day, his adoptive son would turn his back against him -- and that day came years ago.

To Henry Man's perspective, Chairman Yue probably knew about this and was undecided to take action. Instead, Sebastian Yue hid it and tried to salvage the company. However, that decision was downright wrong. He was known as a kind man but, his kindness and leniency would soon backfire on him if it weren't for Seraphina… or, on a second thought, did he plan for his granddaughter to step up when that happens?

In a brief moment of contemplation, the new realization struck Henry Man real hard causing him to freeze in an instant. Now that he thinks about it, Seraphina originally doesn't want anything to do with her family business. But all of a sudden, she involved herself in the company affairs for some reason. Though it was unexpected how early she decided to take the role as the Yue family's heir, Sebastian Yue might know that she will eventually inherit the business on her own volition.

George Yue on the side kept his silence without much change on his inexpressive front. Minutes have passed since Henry Man's instigation before he responded. "I don't understand why my name is on the list but, I believe my name will be clear after the official investigation."

Seraphina languidly nodded as she propped the back of her hand on her jaw. She already expected these words from George Yue, short and concise. He knew that when he showed too much expression, they could see through his lies.

"Alright…" Glancing at her wristwatch, Seraphina calmly uttered. Just then, authorities that she called hours ago intrude the spacious meeting room.

Introducing themselves as they proclaim their agenda on taking custody of the said people that were involved in this corruption, Seraphina nod as she watched the growling old men shout their defense while the other kept their silence and wanting to seek a lawyer then refused to speak afterward.

Witnessing the chaotic scene, Seraphina watch them being dragged without much change in her expression. 'Gramps… I understand why you don't want to witness this…' she mumbled inwardly.

Since Seraphina was always baffled about her grandfather's leniency, she put herself in Sebastian Yue's shoes. Thus, after contemplating for a while, she understood that Sebastian Yue can't take to see the people he considered as family to end up like this. Just as Seraphine valued her comrades and it will surely leave a huge scar if anyone betrayed her.

However, Seraphina and Sebastian Yue's resolve has a vast difference ever since she attained her second life. The realization that if her trusted men turned against her -- she won't hesitate to silence them even if it will break her heart because in the end, she will always look at the bigger picture and the possible loses that might cost her other subordinates.

'I wonder if that day will happen… I hope not.' she wondered inwardly, hoping that her subordinate will keep their loyalty as she prepared to lay her life on the line to secure them as much as they wanted to protect her.
