They had presented him with the evidence. How could he still be so audacious?
“Mr. Reed, your signature is on every purchase order.”
Sigwald smiled and slowly said, “My signatures are there, but this only proves that I instructed someone to buy the fabric on the list. Everything was paid through the company account, and none of it went through me. Even if anybody’s taking kickbacks, it would be someone from the Purchasing Department. This has nothing to do with me.”
Silvia raised her eyebrows in surprise. “So, you’re not going to admit it, Mr. Reed?”
“Why should I admit to something that I didn’t do? Besides, how much money goes in and out of my account every year? If you don’t trust me, you can launch an investigation, Miss Pond.”
“I’ll definitely investigate, but before that, I hope you’ll stay put in Ryoln City.”
Sigwald smiled disdainfully and said, “You can rest assured. I will not run away!”
The money had been laundered, and Silvia would not be able to find anything to implicate him.
“We’ll see.”
Silvia left Sigwald’s ward and headed to the elevator. Just then, an angry voice rang out behind her.
“Silvia, why are you here?”
She turned around and saw Mindy standing nearby with a lunch box. Mindy had a murderous look on her face.
Unexpectedly, Ada was in the same hospital.
“What is it, Ms. Woods?” Silvia was unperturbed.
“You have the gall to ask after what you put Ada through? Follow me. You need to kneel and beg her to forgive you!”
Silvia frowned and took a step back to avoid Mindy’s hand. “What’s that supposed to mean? What did I put her through?” she asked.
“You dare claim that you didn’t push her to jump off the building? You were jealous of her participation in the design competition because you could only be a part time waitress. That’s why you set her up!”
“Is that what she told you?” Silvia said sarcastically.
“She doesn’t need to say a thing. I know that you’re a vicious woman!”
Mindy was stunned and in disbelief, but she simply walked away without a care.
Back in the ward, Dulcie looked at Sigwald in disappointment. “Uncle Sigwald, you’re a shareholder of the company, and you get a good share of the company’s annual profits. Why would you do something to harm the company?”
Sigwald’s face was cold, and he snappishly said, “Dulcie, whose side are you on? I’m your uncle, and we’re a family. Are you going to join Silvia and go against me?”
“I’m on the side of truth. You talk about family, but did you think about that when you took those kickbacks?”
He snorted. “You’ve been brainwashed by Silvia. Show me the evidence if you think I’m guilty! Stop making false claims if you don’t have any proof!”
Dulcie shook her head and slowly said, “If you admit to it now, I can still beg Miss Pond for leniency. Once she obtains more proof, it’ll be too late to regret it.”
However, his eyes shone with anger. “I don’t want to see you here. Get out!”
…
Just as Silvia reached the entrance of the hospital, she received a call from an agent.
