Samantha opened the document and read it carefully. As soon as she laid eyes on the conclusion, she raised her eyebrows and had a look of surprise in her eyes.
The result was beyond what she expected. There were no problems with Harmony’s accounts!
She closed the document and looked at Rochelle while asking in a low voice, “Have you verified it?”
Rochelle’s expression had soured too. “I did. I had them verify it several times and there aren’t any problems with her accounts!”
Samantha tapped her fingertips on the document and pondered.
Could she have been wrong? Could Harmony’s money be given not by Timothy, but by the man behind her?
Such a possibility was more unlikely than not!
Harmony’s relationship with that man was more like a cooperative relationship, and her respectful attitude toward him was an obvious sign that she was beneath him.
Their relationship could thus be considered a subordinate relationship.
In that case, the man would not let her squander his money like that.
Samantha was still inclined to the possibility that Harmony had used the Barker Foundation to make a lot of money in the past three years.
However, if there were no problems with the accounts, how did Harmony get the money into her personal stash?
Samantha tried thinking about it from another angle and an idea appeared in her mind all of a sudden. She grabbed her laptop and put it on her lap as her slender fingers
immediately started tapping away on the keys.
A few minutes later, she looked at the web page that appeared on the computer screen and curled her lips in a smile!
As she expected!
Samantha looked up at Rochelle again and said, “Chelle, 1 know how Harmony got the money!”
Rochelle was pleased to hear that and immediately asked, “What? How?”
Samantha gestured toward the computer screen using her chin. “I went to this website that lets you look up companies and checked all the companies under Harmony’s
name. Take a look.”
Rochelle glanced at the screen and saw that there were three sole proprietorship companies under Harmony’s name. Furthermore, the names of those three companies
could not be more familiar to her!
She could not help but exclaim in awe. “These three companies are all companies that have worked closely with the Barker Foundation for the past three years. Harmony’s
donations and fundraising were always prepared by these three companies!”
As soon as she said that, she understood everything at once too.
“That means Harmony has been relying on these three companies to fill her own pockets. Goodness, that’s pretty bold of her!”
Just how greedy was she to have been pocketing so much money over the past three years!
Moreover, all that money was donated to charity! She did not seem to be the least bit afraid of divine punishment by coveting all that money!
Samantha smiled coldly, “Did she really think she could sit back, relax, and launder all that money because she killed me three years ago? Well, I’m not dead. And she’s
going to get her retribution handed to her!”
“How perfect!”
Rochelle hated Harmony no less than Samantha did. At long last, they could both end that woman after all the suffering she caused to Samantha three years ago!
“T’ll personally investigate these three companies for you and get you their ledgers while I’m at it!”
“You, on the other hand, just rest in the hospital and wait for my good news!”
Rochelle then put on sunglasses and walked out of the ward in her high heels.
She tilted her head and said lazily, “Wake up, Blockhead! It’s time to work!”
A figure appeared out of nowhere and said respectfully, “Your orders, Mrs. Yates.”
After the news about Harmony hiring a hitman was suppressed by the legal notice, her cybertroopers began to fight back, saying that she was wronged by someone evil
who wanted to ruin her reputation.
By ‘evil’, they meant Samantha.
After all, everyone knew that Samantha and Harmony were rivals both in their line of work and in their love life!
Samantha was cursed at and her name soared to the top of Waybo’s trending searches for several days.
She did not care one bit and rested every day to help her body recuperate. She also cooperated with the doctor who examined her, because there were plenty of things
that she had to do next, necessitating her quick recovery so she could move freely.
Half a month later, Rochelle pushed open the door of the ward and walked in with a swagger.
She smiled and said, “Your plan is impeccable, Sammy. The three companies are all shell companies, used mainly for embezzling money and doctoring the accounts. She
has embezzled one billion in the span of three years!”
Samantha was not surprised by that.
Harmony was too greedy, but her ambition did not match her abilities and everything she did was always half-baked.
“Where’s the ledger?” Samantha asked.
Rochelle placed the briefcase in her hand before Samantha. “They’re all here. Do as you please with them.”
Samantha got up unhesitatingly and said, “Let’s go. We’re making a police report!”
It was already afternoon the next day when Harmony finally found out about it.
The police issued a warrant because they could not contact her, and her lawyer hurriedly called her and explained everything.
Harmony’s face turned pale in an instant when she heard that.
The person behind the whole expose was obvious, but she never would have imagined that Samantha could actually figure out that there was a problem with her cash
flow. To think that Samantha traced it all back to her and was now in possession of all that incriminating evidence!
She was never worried that the matter would be revealed because she was sure that she would become Mrs. Barker within the past three years. Everything she did was a
trivial matter once she married Timothy, and even if something happened, she could settle it using her status as Mrs. Barker or simply let Timothy handle it for her.
Unfortunately, she was not Mrs. Barker and had no such influential ability!
Once that matter was revealed, her three years’ worth of painstaking efforts would be ruined and her reputation would be discredited. Clearing her name would then be
completely impossible!
She could not let that happen!
Things were only in the investigation stage and the police would not expose it. As long as she managed to handle it during that period, her misdeeds would never come to
light!
Timothy… She had to go to Timothy!
Timothy would help her because he would never have the heart to see her destroyed like that!
