Chapter 41 - 041: It’s Not Over With You
"If it weren’t for me, would you still be the general manager now? You’d have been carrying bricks at the construction site a long time ago!"
"My daughter is so well-behaved, how could she possibly embezzle funds? Is it that little mistress of yours trying to frame my daughter?"
Facing Eleanor Palmer’s torrent of accusations, Edward Palmer calmly said, "The little mistress you’re talking about is the boss’s youngest daughter."
Eleanor Palmer’s incessant talking suddenly stopped as she heard Edward Palmer continue, "If you don’t believe Eva embezzled funds, I can call the police right now."
At the mention of calling the police, Eleanor Palmer was instantly scared and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no... Edward, Eva is your niece, how can you bear to call the police? You are her uncle. If the police get involved, her life would be ruined."
"That’s why I didn’t call the police, I just asked her to return the money she took." Edward Palmer looked at Eleanor Palmer.
Eleanor Palmer asked uncertainly, "How much money are we talking about?"
"Fifty thousand."
"What? Fifty thousand?" Eleanor Palmer almost jumped up, "Where can I get fifty thousand?"
"Edward, you must help me. Back then..."
Eleanor Palmer was about to bring up the past, but Edward Palmer interrupted her directly, "Sis, you know if I hadn’t discovered this early on and investigated the matter myself, I would be implicated once things come to light, do you understand?"
