Chapter 257 Real Name

But Yvonne wasn’t worth that much money!

“Three months. I only need to bail her out for three months. Ask if the bail can be halved. If they agree, send the money immediately!”

“Yes, Mr. Hawkins.”

At Amirate Corporation, Grace was having an international meeting.

Once the meeting was over, Luke knocked on her office door. “Ms. Lewis, a representative from Hawkins Group’s legal department is here. They want to

Grace instructed, “Let our lawyers handle this. Just report the result to me.‘

“Yes, Ms. Lewis.”

Luke left and turned to see Samuel at the door. Luke’s face was expressionless as he greeted Samuel politely, “Director Walker.”

Samuel smiled and said, “Mr. Ziegler, you’re an old face that’s been by Mr. Lewis‘ side for years. You don’t need to be so formal with me.”

Luke inclined his head slightly. “Is there anything I can help you with, Director Walker?”

Samuel looked at the closed office door. “I’m here to see Ms. Lewis.”

When he finished, he walked straight toward Grace’s office. “Ms. Lewis, are you busy?”

Upon hearing who it was, Grace covered the documents she was holding and looked up with a slight smile. “Director Walker, what brings you here?”

Samuel sat down on the couch without waiting for her invitation. Then, he made an expression as if he were hesitating. “Ms. Lewis, I’ve come here today becaus tell you.”

Grace smiled humorlessly and replied, “What could possibly make you personally come to see me, Director Walker?”

Samuel didn’t bother hiding anything and spoke directly, “It’s about Mr. Donegan.”

Samuel paused for a moment on purpose to see Grace’s reaction. However, Grace remained as imperturbable as always.

“What about Mr. Donegan?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

When Samuel heard her ask this, he looked regretful. “Ms. Lewis, it seems like you still don’t know! Our accountant, Mr. Turner, has reported Mr. Donegan.”

Grace frowned and looked stern. “What happened?”

Samuel pretended to be surprised. “What? Didn’t your subordinates tell you? I heard that Mr. Donegan has been using his authority for his personal gains and has embezzled a huge sum of money. Mr. Turner found out and has reported him to authorities.”

“What?” Grace stood up at once, looking very severe.

“Mr. Donegan emblezzed money? That’s ridiculous!”

Timothy was the heir of Donegan Enterprises. Why on earth would he want that bit of money?

Samuel couldn’t resist smiling when he saw how big Grace’s reaction was.

“Ms. Lewis, this is human nature! We can’t resist temptation, especially when it’s such a big temptation.”

Grace remained firm. “He would never do something like that.”

Samuel smiled as he shook his head. “Ms. Lewis, you really do trust him! But the truth trumps all arguments. Perhaps a few million dollars is nothing to y

“But to an ordinary employee like Mr. Donegan, who just earns a salary of a couple of tens of thousands of dollars a month, that’s a huge sum of money. Not to mention the

Grace laughed.

She looked coldly at Samuel. It was obvious that someone was trying to frame Timothy, but the person responsible was being too careless.

They didn’t even know who Timothy was, and yet they were trying to frame him for embezzlement? The heir of the Donegan family lusting after just a few million dollars?

Grace became calm at once and said in a measured tone, “Director Walker, have you investigated this thoroughly? We must not wrongly accuse anyone.”
