Chapter 1407 Taking Action

Nicholas' fury could not be contained. "What the hell were they thinking? Do they pay so

little heed to the company?" Nicholas stood behind his desk, his eyes filled with rage. He

looked like a demon ready to hunt down a sinner.

Edward's legs were buckling, but he could understand Nicholas' fury. If this scandal were

to surface, Sawyer Group would be the first to be hit by the court of public opinion. They

would think the company was filled with scoundrels and criminals. If worse came to worst,

the company might fall. At this point, even Edward was angry at Adam and Joseph. How

could they do this? This might bring the company down.

As Edward was musing over this matter, Nicholas hissed, "Get all the evidence of their

crimes and force the Filisburg branch to give back every single cent they took."

"What about Adam and Joseph's contraband business?" asked Edward after some

hesitation.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Nicholas' eyes. "They can drop dead for all I care. Just get the

money back."

"But that'd alert them." Edward frowned.

Nicholas didn't care. "I couldn't care less. What we need to do now is cut ties with them."

"I understand." Edward left and started another round of investigation.

The moment he started making his move, Adam's men in Filisburg got the news. It was

dawn in Filisburg right now. Adam was having a leisurely time strolling in the garden while

holding a bird cage.

A suited man came to him in a hurry. He was Adam's most trusted lieutenant—Chester.

"Sir, I have news. Someone let slip our operation. Nicholas just sent his men to audit those

companies."

"He knows?" Adam was shocked, and he could no longer stay calm. His face fell and a

frown furrowed his forehead. "Is your source reliable?"

"I've talked to a few branch managers. The HQ has sent someone to check in with them,"

Chester answered, telling Adam the news he found out.

Adam could no longer sit still. Nicholas is starting his investigation, and he won't stop until

he finds the truth. I cannot let this happen. "Summon Joseph."

"Yes, sir." Chester left.

Joseph came running a short while later. "I heard from Chester, Adam. Nicholas' men are

auditing the accounts?"

"Yes." Adam nodded coldly.

Joseph winced. "So, that means we have to pay." He was a slave to money. Asking him to

fork out that sum of money was as good as killing him.

Adam looked at Joseph. "Problem is, money alone can't settle this," he said softly.

"Why?" Joseph looked at him, confused.

Adam answered icily, "It was an act. He kept quiet because he was looking into our case

behind our backs. Now I suspect that he knows what we've done and is cracking down on

us."

"He knows?" Joseph was shocked, and then panic showed in his eyes. "Sh*t. Sh*t. He's

going to kill us." He then paused and looked at Adam nervously. "What now?"

"We have no choice. We must strike first." A hint of malice appeared in Adam's eyes.

Shocked, Joseph looked at him in disbelief. "You want to attack Nicholas?"
