Chapter 21
The board members erupted in laughter.
Everyone looked at Andrius like he was an idiot.
Donovan was the second largest shareholder of the company. He was not the most powerful person inSumeria, and there were indeed people who could take his place away from the city, but it wasdefinitely not a mere assistant.
“Shhh…”
Andrius gestured to silence the laughing group. He then dialed a number on his phone.
“The second largest shareholder of New Moon Corporation, Donovan Seaview… I want him out of thecity for good.”
“F*ck.” Donovan felt challenged.
Even though Andrius was nothing but a clown to him, being disrespected by a mere assistant in front ofother board members fueled his anger. He glared at Andrius and said with gritted teeth, Boy, if youcan’t make your claims come true today, I will make sure you crawl out of this place…”novelbin
Ring!
Before Donovan could finish, his phone rang.
He answered it and heard an anxious voice from the other end. “Mr. Seaview, this is bad! We receivednews from the police, saying that you are a prime suspect in money laundering for a casino! Ouraccounts are all frozen by the banks!”
Donovan was shaken by the sudden news.
Other than his informant in the casino and himself, no one else on earth knew about the money
laundering.
The casino would never report him to the police!
Who could have done it then?
Before he could wrap his head around the situation, he got another phone call.
He did not even get the chance to speak and was urged by another anxious voice, “Donovan,something bad has happened to your properties. The land you bought near our old house is beingtaken back due to illegal purchasing procedures! You are also wanted for a tax–evading investigation!”
Donovan broke out in a cold sweat when he learned the news.
He had several secret properties back at his old house with his family. He bought it under his friend’sname because he did not want his status with the corporation to hold him accountable for
tax. He did a good job keeping it conspicuous and spent quite a fortune to seal lips.
If those involved snitched on him, they themselves would be arrested first before him.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to betray him.
Who would have spilled the secret?
Then, another call came in.
Donovan answered. This time, he could no longer keep his calm. His hand was shaking.
On the other end of the call was the angry voice of his uncle.
“You son of a b*tch! What is wrong with you? You asked me to get you an investor for a project, and Iintroduced you to my best friend, but you són–of–a–b*tch, you took all the money?! You scammedeven your own uncle? Your freaking monster! Give me an explanation, or I will get my friend to sueyou!”
Three phone calls, three terrible pieces of news, and each appalled him terribly.
Donovan’s face was glistening with sweat, and the shirt under his jacket was drenched.
“I… I…” Donovan stammered and was unable to form a proper sentence.
He then looked at Andrius and finally realized what happened.
“It’s you! It’s you who’s doing this to me!”
Donovan lost it. He shouted at Andrius furiously, “H–how did you know all about my stuff?”
“I know more than that. I know a lot of dirty things that you have done.”
Andrius got up and went behind Donovan. He put his hands on the man’s shoulders and whispered intohis ear, “Such as…”
