Chapter 210

“It’s true. His family does have a child with leukemia. And yes, he’s been pocketing quite a bit of money. Roughly a million,” Yale reported calmly.

Rachel couldn’t help but gasp.

Tim must have had a death wish. Did he actually embezzle a million dollars from Tyler?

A million sounded like a lot, and it was. But when it came to a disease like leukemia, even that amount might not go very far. No matter how much money one had, illness had a way of burning through it like fire through paper.

“Yeah. Maybe you hadn’t noticed before,” Yale replied.

Tyler waved him off. “No. The company needs to focus on the project right now. I don’t have the time to waste on lawsuits. Just fire him and start looking for a new personal assistant.”
