The call connected, I identified myself, and he responded very directly, “I know!”
His words took me by surprise, and I couldn’t detect any emotion in them. It took me a while to regain my composure, “Um… I was wondering if I could invite you to lunch, if it’s convenient for you. Also, I’d like to return your coat!”
“Inconvenient!” His response was once again very direct, making me extremely embarrassed. I thought to myself, this person is really straightforward.
Just when I didn’t know how to respond, he said, “2 o’clock in the afternoon, the coffee shop under the Brezer Building.”
I suddenly realized that it was not a rejection, but a scheduling conflict. “Alright! Then we’ll meet in the afternoon!”
After hanging up the phone, I raised an eyebrow and silently recited “Broadray Vision” in my mind.
During the lunch break, I noticed that both Oswald and Orlando were absent. They must have gone to have lunch with a client.
I turned around and went to the restroom.
Just as I entered the cubicle, I heard two people outside whispering as they walked in, “You’d say Marina was really unlucky today, who would have thought she’d get a scolding out of nowhere!”
“Wasn’t it Mr. Price himself who approved it? Why is he getting angry?” said one. “With his signature on it, and his wife using the money, would Marina dare not to pay?”

I immediately understood, they were talking about the money application I made in the morning.
They continued their conversation, “Isn’t it obvious? She’s heartbroken. It seems like Cassie has no status at home at all.”
“Wasn’t it said that Prosper Materials was built by Cassie herself? Why is it so difficult to manage such a small amount of money?”
“Which century was that from? … I heard that Mr. Price has a woman outside,” someone said in a hushed voice, “A few days ago, I accidentally heard Mr. Price instructing Marina not to deposit the payment into Prosper Materials‘ account!”
“Did he have a subsidiary company outside?”
“Wasn’t that too extreme?”
“It was all because of Cassie, she was really useless. Just watch, one day this boss lady will end up with nothing. Look at her, she spent 500,000 today, and Mr. Price scolded Marina? It pissed Marina off!”
“Damn! Wasn’t she in cahoots with Mr. Price? She’s getting her comeuppance now!” one of them said through gritted teeth. “When Cassie was still in the company, she was always hovering around her. As soon as Cassie left, she turned around and started clinging to Mr. Price. She must have taken a fancy to Mr. Price, huh? Too bad, he didn’t fancy her back!”
“As long as I can get some benefits, do you think she worked this position for nothing? She’s definitely better off than us. If I could get some benefits, I’d be willing to be scolded every day.”
The two people were chattering away, having taken care of their own matters, they left together.
It seemed that I had transferred the money today, and Oswald had taken it out on Marina from the finance department.

He played the dutiful son in front of others, repeatedly assuring me in person that he would take care of the elderly without any worries. But when it came to the crunch, he showed his true colors. I must have been blind to have chosen such a heartless and ungrateful person.
I sneered and made a call to Eleanor, asking her to immediately find a way to help me investigate the fund flow of Prosper Materials. It seemed that Orlando was still withholding something from me.
“Did you mean?”
“I suspected that Oswald might have had some shell companies. Could you check Lelia Price, Sergio Price, or Mary Pearson, and see what they had under their names?”
“Seems like this bastard was prepared all along?” Eleanor said angrily, “I can’t believe it! He could stoop so low!”
“The reason he hasn’t laid his cards on the table yet, I guess, is that there are still things he hasn’t settled, so I have to race against time! I have a premonition that the discrepancies in the accounts are too large, dig deeper for me.”
“Good!”
“Also, could you check Marina’s mobile account for me? I’ll send you the phone number later, the more detailed, the better. Could you also see if there are any other accounts under this name? I’ll try to get you her ID number.”
“No need, a phone number will suffice. Don’t forget it’s real–name registration now. What does this person do?”
“Chief Financial Officer of Prosper Materials!”
“Understood!”
“I need concrete evidence that can explain the issue,” I pointed out the

Having arranged everything, I breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the beef noodle shop, ordered a bowl of noodles and quietly filled myself up. Then I directly picked up Raymon’s coat and went to the place we had agreed upon. He had already arrived.
I smiled, walked over and asked, “Excuse me, am I late?”
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, giving a roguish smile, “I had lunch with a client nearby, so I came carly!”
I handed over his coat, “I’ve already had it dry cleaned, thank you!”
He took it and placed it on the seat next to him, “What would you like to drink?”
“Freshly squeezed juice was great!”
Before the drink I ordered was served, Raymon suddenly pointed out the window at me, and I looked in the direction of his finger… …
