Just like finance, medicine also required a solid foundation in the sciences. Lysander applied meticulous attention to detail fromher work, wishing she could see right through the paper.
Yet, the outcome was still barely satisfactory. She had no idea what the data should look like under normal circumstances.“How can we tell if there’s anything unusual?”
Josiah nodded. “The marketing department has always been a major expense for the company, and high travel costs are to beexpected. However, considering the size and scale of Thorne Constructions and Energies, these travel expenses have exceededthe normal range by more than tenfold.”
Lysander, filled with puzzlement, asked, “You even know about such trivial matters as travel expenses?”“Was | born already seated in the CEO's chair?”Of course, he also started from scratch.
He was an experienced individual, and teaching her was far more challenging than simply guiding her along the path, but hedidn’t seem the least bit impatient.
Lysander inquired, “So, the issue with the finances might not be as concealed as | originally thought?”Josiah gave a nod.
“The marketing manager was a clever individual, probably fearing you’d catch on. Hence, he carried out all his activities in a verysecretive manner. If he had only focused on one thing, he might not have been discovered.”
Driven by insatiable greed, Lennox acted in such a manner primarily to conceal his secret. However, unexpectedly, his cleverscheme backfired spectacularly.
Lysander pondered over the words spoken by Josiah, while pulling up the recent price fluctuation charts of a few products tomake a fresh comparison. As she studied the charts, her expression turned somber.
Several lines were circled on the paper version of the report, all indicating problematic sections.
“I've only been able to find this much. | just hope no innocent person gets wronged,” Lysander said, after thoroughly checkingeverything. Seeing no omissions, she handed out the paper.
Josiah accepted it, his expression filled with contentment. “You truly are a promising seedling worth nurturing. Although you werelate to catch on, everything turned out right. Moreover, look at this,” he pointed out, “The number of orders that Lennox brought inis this much, but the revenue it generated for the company is only this much. Something's not right here.”
Lysander asked, “What could possibly be the reason?”
“There are two possibilities,” Josiah stated. “Firstly, some of the orders may have been delivered, but the final payments were notreceived, resulting in bad debts. Alternatively, he could have collaborated with the second party, skimming off a profit of aboutthirty to forty percent. Given the volume of these orders, it’s estimated that he could have pocketed around two million inunrecorded funds.”

gradually amassing it, causing substantial damage to the company’s profits. It was as though he was draining the public coffersto line his own pockets.
When he was around, these people could only gain limited benefits. Now, they couldn't even wait for Lysander to officially takeoffice. They already started to exploit the company’s resources.
Lysander finally understood and let out a cold chuckle. “I’ve always known one thing—when dealing with a disease, it’s crucial toeradicate it completely.”
As she spoke, she intended to flip through the list of names, ready to start drafting dismissal letters.
“Are you planning to make a strong start in your new position? Using him as an example to teach others a lesson?”
“Can't | do that?”
“Sure, it’s possible,” Josiah interjected promptly, “but | would advise against doing it for now. Of course, it’s just a suggestion.”If Lysander insisted on making an example of him, Josiah wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
“Two million is no small amount. It could even serve as start-up capital for some minor projects,” Lysander said in a quiet voice.“Isn’t that enough reason to terminate his employment?”
Josiah explained, “Mr. Escobar has been with the company for about as long as Mr. Thorne. The resources and connections heholds could sustain more than half of the department. If you fire him now, the company’s operations would come to an immediatehalt. This is why he dares to act so brazenly. As for the allegations of corruption, they're merely conjectures at this point. No onecan produce evidence to prove his dereliction of duty. Without evidence, we won't have a leg to stand on anywhere.”
“So what should | do? Just let him be?”
No wonder Josiah, despite knowing there were issues with Lennox, turned a blind eye for so long.
Lysander felt a bit helpless. “If he doesn’t even care about you, he would only look down on me even
more.”
Moreover, the most recent transaction had just occurred in the past few days. It was clear that Lennox was doing it on purpose.Lysander hadn't even made her official debut at the company yet, but Lennox was already showing who was the boss.Lysander took a sip of the honey lemon tea, yet her heart remained heavy.
Josiah gave her a suggestion that seemed feasible.
“If | were in your shoes, | wouldn’t hastily remove the veterans from these companies, especially given the current instability ofour foundation. It’s better to keep them around for now and gradually promote new blood to maintain a balance.
Though he was young, he skillfully maintained a balance in the company, almost never encountering any mishaps.Lysander admitted that it was a good idea, but new problems quickly followed.

Lysander was absolutely certain that nobody in the company recognized her, even though she had already spoken with some ofthem over the phone.
Josiah extended his hand toward her. “Show me the list of names you've obtained from the HR department. After | left, somepeople who used to follow me at Guerra Group also left.”

With an emotionless gaze, Josiah scanned the list. Suddenly, his finger paused on a young face, and he said, “You might want toconsider this person.”
“That person doesn’t seem much older than me,” Lysander said, a hint of surprise in her voice as she began to peruse thedetailed profile.
Josiah was just about to say a few more words when suddenly, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, stood up, and said, “Ineed to take this call. Please wait for me.”
Without a doubt, Lysander believed in him. Without lifting her head, she simply said, “Okay.”
The door to the room was gently closed. For the first time in these past few days, Josiah voluntarily returned to the room nextdoor and then pressed the answer button.
The call came from Carol. Her voice was as steady as ever. “Mr. Guerra, the matter has been resolved.”“Okay,” Josiah replied.Carol added a few more details, “Zachary was still not convinced, but he has agreed to go to Flaite.”

The tone of Josiah’s words took a subtle dive, masking the faint hint of murderous intent that had previously lingered.Carol responded, “It’s all been arranged.”“That’s good then.”
Carol asked with a smile, “Mr. Guerra, if this were in the past, Zachary wouldn’t have met such a peaceful end. Has your state ofmind truly changed now?”
Josiah’s voice softened considerably. “It might be because I’ve found someone | want to spend the rest of my life with.”
