As he quickly skimmed through the contents, Josie leisurely stirred her coffee with a spoon, sighing all the while. "It's not easy to get to where you are at this age. I wonder why you would risk it all. Don't you know it's illegal to embezzle employees' salaries and deceive superiors and subordinates alike?"

Several pages were filled with the wrongdoings of Hector.

He had been withholding wages from his employees, and he was smart enough to pick a few people each month to forge false paychecks and enrich himself.

Hector's eyes were bloodshot as he clenched the piece of paper. "This is slander. I can sue you too!" He tore the paper directly in half. Unsatisfied, he threw it on the ground and stomped on it. "Josie, have you lost your mind? Do you even know what you're doing?"

Hector's facial muscles twitched relentlessly. He wished nothing more than to strike the woman standing before him, yet under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he was utterly powerless to act. "Just spit it out. What do you want?"

Josie no longer held back. "Has the team for acquiring small and medium-sized companies been selected?"

"Not yet. There are a few backup teams."

"You've accepted their favors, haven't you?" Josie hit the nail on the head.
