Female Novel
Chapter 433
She nodded and looked at me. "Also, I have had someone to investigate Arnold's wife. She's been a
housewife for the past few years and she pretty much doesn't have the time nor ability to run a large-
scale farm. Furthermore, the farm was actually bought by Arnold for over 100,000 dollars in a remote
mountain village. He only threw some chickens in there and found a local old man to watch over the
place. He hasn't cared for it in decades."
I roughly understood what she meant by this. To put it bluntly, the farm was just a smokescreen. There
might be no income at all, and the farm's accounts were used for transactions between Arnold and
these businessmen.
No wonder Charles had never been able to find anything after investigating for so long. Arnold had
made it very complex.
After a pause, I looked at her and asked, "Are there any transaction records between Valerie and this
company?"
Kelsey shook her head and explained, "No, Valerie is very meticulous. There's no need for a company
under her name to cooperate with a farming company, so she transferred all the money through
Michael!"
"Under what name did Michael transfer money to Arnold?" The company Michael worked for was an
audit company. Although they could be in contact with all companies, all the transactions would be
outputs rather than inputs. It would be illogical for them to transfer money to a farming company!
She smiled and answered, "I also thought about that at first. Later, I found out that Michael owns the
Frozen Livestock Company. Thus, no matter how large the sum of money transferred is, it's all legal
and accountable." What an expert!
If we hadn't known the full story, we wouldn't have been able to find anything. However, even when we
had learned about it now, it would still be difficult to convict Arnold. After all, these were seemingly
reasonable transactions.
At this thought, I had a headache. Even if I told Charles about this, I was afraid that there was no way
to directly explain what was wrong with Valerie.
Seeing that my eyebrows were knitted together, Kelsey paused and said, "You can try by starting with
Michael. He doesn't seem to be very loyal to Valerie. Moreover, it seems that there's a third party
involved in this matter. I suspect there's someone else who wants to drag Valerie down."
"A third party?" I couldn't help but ask curiously. "Who else did Valerie offend?"
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm not sure, but I recently found that someone spread the
video of how Valerie climbed up the corporate ladder when she was young. There were quite a few,
and there were a lot of people involved. By the way, Arnold's wife seems like a formidable opponent.
Even if you can't find anything about the bribery, you might be able to find something about
prostitution."
I nodded and put away all the documents that she had given me. Then I looked at her and said
sincerely, "Thank you for this."
Kelsey gave a small smile, took a sip of coffee and then said, "You don't have to thank me. You've
helped me deal with Calvin, and so I'll help you with your problems. This is basic courtesy, no gratitude
needed."
Since she had already said so, I didn't say much either. We only chatted for a while before she left for
her own appointments.
It was already slightly late when I returned to the villa. I didn't expect that I would meet an uninvited
guest, Andrea, at such a late hour.
She and Nerissa were in the main hall. The two of them were drinking tea and chatting, and they
seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
When she saw me, Nerissa smiled and waved at me, saying, "Arianna, you're back. Miss Burton and I
were just talking about you!"
I frowned. These words were so farcical that they made me uncomfortable.novelbin
