Thud!

Hugo’s legs turned to jelly, and he instantly knelt on the floor. He began to sob. “M-

Mister Crowdon… This has nothing to do with me! I was just following Mister Burke’s

orders!”

Hugo only got to his current position because he was great at observing people. He

understood the situation.

Lewis was clearly there.in support of Amber. Even if he had proof, there would be no

proof. The real proof would be deemed as a fake one.

Moreover, that bastard Ethan Burke did not even have any proof in his hands.

“No proof, huh?” The baffled chuckled bitterly. “Turns out that we didn’t violate any

rules. I thought that….

Today might be Mister Burke’s turn to torment us. What about tomorrow? The

livelihoods of eight thousand staff are at stake. I almost decided to stop production!”

“Bastards… Bastards!” The usually polite Lewis swore at Drake. “What’s this person’s

name? Hugo Jean, huh? Remove him from the office! Form a special task force and

look into this matter! I want the results reported to me directly!

“Look into Ethan Burke, too. See if he has misused public funds or received any bribes from the

moment he started working. I want to know all of his misdemeanors!

Drake was sweating profusely but nodded fervently nonetheless. Things did not. stop with Hugo being

removed, but they were being investigated as well. Ethan and Hugo were not to be let off the hook!

“One day! No. I’ll give you half a day!”

Lewis looked at Amber’s dejected face before looking at Alexander’s sullen

expression. This chilled him to the core.

He barked once more, “You better give me an answer in half a day’s time! Otherwise,

SANGE SI

you can hand in your resignation!”

“Yes, yes…” Drake shuddered. His back was drenched in sweat.

Hugo, who was kneeling on the floor, was dazed by the ultimatum delivered onto

him. His mind went blank. His limbs twitched as if he had a seizure.

He kept muttering, “It’s not my fault. It’s not my fault…”

Nothing he said would be useful at this point.

The few law enforcement officers that came with Lewis stepped forward and

dragged Hugo out.

Drake bowed at Lewis before quickly following them.

Half a day was too short a time. He had to quickly look into it.

“Miss Chesire.” Lewis finally looked a little relaxed. He turned to look at Amber sympathetically. “I’m

really sorry that this happened. I promise I’ll deal with this

seriously and demand justice for you.”

Amber was

speechless.

Lewis was fair and just to New Chesire Company, which was expected. However, he

was treating her a little too well.

Could it be…

Amber looked at Alexander’s side profile from the corner of her eyes. She slowly bit

her lip.

Was Alexander behind this, too?

The man’s secrets only seemed to grow by the day.

Meanwhile, at the Director’s office in the Regulatory Division of the Food and Drug

Administration.

“Mmh. Wonderful!” Ethan smacked his lips, enjoying the aroma of the wine. He

looked happily tipsy. “What a great he!”

The Chateau Latour has a long, rich, and full body. Ethan was already in heaven

from one sip.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard as his office door was kicked open. A few men

barged into his office fiercely.

“Who is it?!” Ethan jumped, instantly sobered up. He grumbled, “Don’t you know how

to knock? I’m…”

He trailed off when he looked up.

Drake and a few team members of the special task force were glaring at Ethan.

“Drinking during work?” Drake scoffed. “Color me impressed!

“Ethan Burke, under the orders of the mayor, you are to be investigated! Whatever you say is pointless

right now! You can tell them all to the special task force!”

Drake turned and left.

“S–Special task force?” Ethan’s face lost all of its colors. He slumped to the floor,

and the glass in his hands shattered into shards.

He saw a black. At that moment, all he could think was how doomed he was.
