âYou guys cost the company millions of dollars. I have to call the police for this,â Arabella said calmly.
âIf I let you guys slide, Iâd be aiding and abetting, and Iâd be just as guilty as youâ
âMs. Bennett, please spare usâ¦â the head of the purchasing department was sobbing. âI have a happy marriage, and my child was just born⦠I really donât wanna ruin my family over this!â
âWe have to explain this to the head office. If employees can cause the company to lose millions and then just cry it out and apologize, what kind of chaos would that lead to? How can we manage? How can we lead?â
âMs. Bennett⦠The audience comprehended that this matter brooked no deliberation. This can only be blamed upon them, as they chose the wrong path, which is now irreparable.
âWe are all adults, Arabella solemnly remarked, âand since the deed is done, we must bear the consequences. If there are any injustices, we can bring them to the attention of the police and seek clemency.â
Despite Oscarâs reprehensible actions, they too are accomplices, leading the company to endure immense losses, and the company is also a victim.
Arabella glanced at Dean, and Dean understood, reaching for his phone to report to the police.
Every word they uttered a moment ago has been recorded by Arabella, with the intention to provide it to the authorities later.
âWhat is the websiteâs URL?â
Hearing this, Mr. Charlie froze, tears still in his eyes. Then he pulled out his phone, âItâs⦠itâs this oneâ¦
Even though itâs been shut down, we still owe friends and online lenders money, we have to pay them back every month. Ms. Bennett, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?â
The website was already shut down, there was no hope of getting the money back.
âNothing.â Arabella remembered the URL, planning to do some private investigation.
âAlthough all this was because of Oscarâs coercion, we donât have any proof. The money we gave him every month was transferred to some unknown bank accounts, or in cashâ¦â
They were frustrated. They were about to be taken to the police station, but Oscar was still at large!
Arabella knew that currently, the only evidence against Oscar was testimonies, but there was very little physical evidence. Even if Oscar was taken to the police station today, he would be released soon due to insufficient evidence.
âItâs our problem if we go to jail, but Oscar is the culprit! He made the most profit, he must be punished, only then can we rest!â
âOn Oscarâs side, I shall unveil his vulnerability,â Arabellaâs words had barely settled when several policemen arrived at the door.
Witnessing the five individuals being taken away by the police, the onlookers outside were filled with indescribable sorrow.
This incident has sent shockwaves throughout the entire company. While Kenneth was playing golf, he received a phone call that left him visibly bewildered. âWhat happened?â Louisa, who was nearby, heard him mention Bellaâs situation and thought she might have been mistreated, so she hurriedly came to his side.
Kenneth could barely stand; after ending the call, he staggered a few steps. Serena rushed forward to support him, saying, âWhatâs wrong with sister? Dad, donât worry, take your time to explain!â
âItâs not your sister whoâs in troubleâ¦. Kenneth was guided to a shaded area, where he sat on a leisure chair and rested for a while. After drinking some water brought by a caddy, his complexion gradually improved.
