Chapter 170 How's It Going
"It's good that you understand. We can't fall out with him for now. You must find the evidence of him transferring the assets and force him to return the money!"
"Yes."
Everett waved his hand and said, "OK. Go out and call Johnson in."
Francis nodded, turned around, and walked out.
Johnson was talking to Ruby downstairs. When they saw Francis coming down, they both stood up.
Ruby was more nervous. She feared Johnson would be kicked out or jailed because she did not want her love wasted.
She asked, "How's it going?"
Francis said, "Johnson, Dad asked you to go to the study."
Ruby instantly became anxious, held Johnson's hand, and said, "Will you get in trouble?"
Ruby had overheard this matter when her father had talked on the phone. So, she had been on tenterhooks for long.
Johnson soothingly patted her hand and said, "No. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."
Then, he retracted his hand, turned around, and went upstairs.
Ruby walked to Francis and pleadingly looked at him, saying, "Francis, please help Johnson. He has worked hard for the company for the past two years and has never made any mistakes. You
know it."
Francis glanced at her and emotionlessly said, "Don't worry. He will be fine for the time being."
"For the time being? What do you mean?"
Francis slowly said, "Take it literally."
Ruby felt highly anxious. She wanted to say something more, but Francis pushed her hand off and walked out.
After she anxiously paced back and forth in the house, she went to beg Rosalie. But the latter was tired of such words. Her thought was simple. As long as her son was OK, she would not bother to care about other people.
Half an hour later, Johnson came downstairs. Ruby did not know what they had said in the study, but his expression was the same as usual.
She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
"Ruby, I must go out now. I'll talk to you when I return."
He smiled, touched her head, and walked outward.
The baby suddenly cried. So, she let him go and turned around to coax her son.
After Johnson went out of the house, his smile instantly disappeared. He walked to a deserted place, took out his phone, and made a call.
After answering the call, the person on the other end remained silent, waiting for him to speak.
Johnson asked, "Did you act so quickly? Have you transferred out the money I invested in those companies?"
After being silent for several seconds, the person replied, "Will you believe me if I say I did not do it?"
Johnson widened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, those companies have gotten in trouble before I act. I didn't transfer a penny out."
Johnson could no longer remain calm. And his face turned a little pale.
"Are you lying to me?"
"Do I need to lie to you? We are cooperating, and our goals are the same. We did not do it for money, right?"
Johnson pondered for a while and said, "I know. I'm not talking about money. But if you didn't do it, things might not be simple."
"What do you mean?"
"It's Francis. Only he would have done such a thing."NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
