To Live an Eternal Life

Chapter 39: Overconfidence

After the morning jog, Katherine came to the company after returning home to change her clothes.

As soon as she entered the office, Bella, the manager of the Finance Department hurried over and

said, "Miss Hunt, I have something to report."

Since Ewan was dismissed a while ago, the position of deputy general manager had been vacant.

In order to mollify Sidney, Old Lady Hunt let Katherine be temporarily the deputy general manager and

concurrently as the person in charge of the project in Binhu District. It could be said that Katherine was

the most powerful person in the company except Old Lady Hunt.

It was precisely because Katherine had taken Ewan's position that Ewan hated Katherine's guts.

"What's the matter?"

Bella hesitated slightly and asked tentatively, "Miss Hunt, have you agreed to give the money to Mr.

Hunt?"

"What do you mean?" Katherine felt something was wrong.

"Today, Mr. Hunt came to the Finance Department early in the morning, brought the proof you gave

him, and took away 1.5 million dollars, saying that he was going to buy building materials."

Katherine was shocked and cried out, "How is it possible? How could I give it to him? Besides, he and I

are against with each other. Even if I have to buy building materials, I won't let him do the stuff. Why

don't you tell me in advance? "

"I…"

Bella was a girl less than thirty years old. When she was scolded by Katherine, she panicked and felt

wronged.

Katherine knew that her attitude was not good.

Bella was not to be blamed for this incident. Ewan was domineering and fierce. Although he was

dismissed, he was the young master in the Hunt Family, the grandson of Old Lady Hunt. Everyone in

the company was afraid of him.

A little manager naturally didn’t dare to offend him.

"Did you see the proof clearly?" Katherine was so angry.

"Yes, it is indeed your official seal on it. The seal was brightly printed and it looked like that it was put

on just now. So I didn't doubt it. I wanted to call you, but Mr. Hunt scolded me, so..."

Katherine quickly opened her drawer. Sure enough, her official seal was gone.

This guy actually stole the official seal.

How did he get in? Only she and her secretary had the key.

Her secretary...

Katherine was about to make a call. Bella asked cautiously, "Miss Hunt, are you calling May?"

"Yes."

"She and Mr. Hunt left."

Bella was able to become a financial manager so she was not stupid. She guessed, "It's obvious. May NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

opened the office and gave the official seal to Mr. Hunt. The two forged proof. They might go out to

have fun now!"

"Asshole!"

Katherine patted the table fiercely.

She had never been so angry before. May was promoted by her. Katherine was very kind to May.

Besides, she gave May high salary. She did not expect to be betrayed.

This feeling was really unspeakable. Although she was angry, she felt more upset.

The assets of the Hunt Family were not much. Although they signed a contract with Chengyu Group

and got some design and construction funds, 1.5 million was not a small amount after all.

If she didn't pursue it, Old Lady Hunt would think it was her who took it away.

"No, we have to chase it back."

Katherine gave the call.

After a few seconds, the phone connected. A lazy voice came from the other end.

"What’s up?"

"Ewan, do you know what you are doing? Embezzlement of public funds! You want to be expelled from

the family?"

Ewan chuckled, "What am I afraid of? You took this money. It has nothing to do with me."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me. I got on you. As long as I want to do it, you will fall into disrepute and

become a celebrity in J City and even the Internet."

Ewan became more and more angry. His voice became sharp and harsh, "Damn it, fight with me? I will

kill you!"

"I don't know what you are talking about. Give the money back quickly. Otherwise, I will tell Grandma.

You are waiting to be..."

Beep, beep.

The phone was hung up!

Katherine was so mad and anxious.

According to the noise from the phone, Katherine knew Ewan was having fun in the club. This jerk!

"Miss Hunt, report to Old Lady Hunt. I will help you testify it."

Katherine looked back and saw Bella's firm expression.

"After all, they took the money from me. Because I was afraid of Mr. Hunt, I didn't call you to confirm. I

have an inescapable responsibility. Regardless of the consequences, even if I will be dismissed or

demanded for compensation, I will accept it!"

Bellasaid firmly.

Katherine was very pleased that the company still had such employees. Her anger had finally been

reduced a lot.

"Don't worry. This is Ewan's responsibility. I will protect you."

At nine o'clock, Old Lady Hunt came to inspect the company.

In the meeting room, she was talking with Lewis and other top executives.

Suddenly, without any warning, two people rushed in.

"Katherine, where is your manner? So rude. Now you don't even take your Grandma seriously, right?"

Lewis seized the opportunity and began to stir trouble.

His son was dismissed because of Katherine, so he was naturally full of anger and hatred.

Old Lady Hunt frowned and looked unhappy.

Katherine glanced at Lewis and then walked quickly to Old Lady Hunt's side, saying, "Grandma,

something has happened. Ewan was so bold and forged proof of purchasing building materials. He

took away 1.5 million dollars from the company and went to the clubhouse to have fun!"

The meeting room fell into dead silence.

Lewis wanted to scold Katherine again. After hearing that, he was completely dumbfounded.

Then, he yelled hysterically, "Katherine, don't talk nonsense."

Several relatives on the united front with Lewis were also blaming Katherine at this moment.

"Katherine, Ewan has been dismissed. Why are you still targeting him?

"Huh, what a mighty prestige."

"I think the deputy general manager is going to frame Ewan. She has the power in her grip now. We

can't offend her."

Old Lady Hunt gradually recovered and frowned, "Are you sure? Or did you deliberately frame Ewan?"

"Grandma, you had watched me grow from childhood. Don't you know what kind of person I am?

Maggie has been targeting me, but I still promote her."

This was indeed true.

The relatives gradually became quiet. Lewis was nervous.

"Old Lady Hunt, I can testify."

Bella stood up and said firmly, "Mr. Hunt stole the official seal of the deputy general manager, forged

the proof of appropriation, and threatened me to give him money."

"Grandma, we can watch the surveillance video."

Old Lady Hunt gave an order, "Bring the surveillance video over!"

A man ran out in a hurry. Soon, he came with his computer in his hand.

The surveillance video was playing.

In the picture, the secretary, May, opened the office and took out the official seal. Ewan put his arm

around her waist. They left while talking and laughing. Then they appeared in the Finance Department.

After leaving a few minutes, the two appeared in the parking lot.

They drove away in a Mercedes.

Old Lady Hunt's face was cold. She was furious, "How dare he!"

Lewis's legs softened and he almost knelt down.

He couldn't understand why Ewan dared to do such stupid things during such a sensitive period.

Besides, Ewan didn't know to delete the surveillance video.

Even in the screen just now, Ewan deliberately raised his middle finger to the monitor.

Too arrogant!

"Mom, calm down. Ewan must have his own difficulties."

"Difficulties? If he has some difficulties, why will he be so proud and embezzle the public funds to take

female employees to go outside for fun?"

Old Lady Hunt used her walking stick to hit Lewis, and shouted sharply, "Let this little bastard come

back and give me an explanation. Otherwise, just get out of the Hunt Family."

Lewis panicked. He called Ewan quickly.

The relatives condemned Ewan for being stupid. At this moment, the balance in many people's hearts

began to tilt.

Half an hour later, the door of the meeting room was knocked open.

Ewan rushed in with embarrassment. Before he could speak, Old Lady Hunt slapped him back, and hit

his leg with her walking stick.

Puff.

Ewan knelt down with both knees.

"Give me a reasonable explanation."

Old Lady Hunt was fierce. Ewan, who was oppressed by Old Lady Hunt's strong aura, was trembling in

cold sweat.

"Grandma, I, I..."

Ewan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He turned his head and stared at Katherine viciously, gritted his teeth.

This bitch.

How dare she?

Was she not afraid of falling into disrepute, not afraid to become an "Internet celebrity"? Damn

it.
