“Alice, what happened to the money in the Woland Group’s account?” Before Alice could speak, Bruce’s frustrated voice came through the phone. “Listen. Even if you were the biggest shareholder of Woland Group before, you can’t just withdraw all the money from its account. This is a crime. You must return the funds immediately.”

Anxiety had almost driven him insane, especially when he checked that there were only a few million funds available. How could a listed company like theirs have only a few million in funds?

What good would a few million do? It’s not even enough to cover the workers’ salaries this month. Has she lost her mind? How could she have emptied the Woland Group’s account?

“Didn’t you properly review the accounts?” Alice was honestly surprised as she had given Bruce the lowest rating for his abilities, but it now appeared that she had overestimated him yet again.

“I did, and that’s how I knew the company’s account was empty. Where has all the money gone? You can’t tell me that the company did not make any profit. As far as I know, Woland Group has been making money for the past seven years, no matter what they invested in. There must be a lot of money, and it can’t just vanish into thin air.” He failed to understand what she was trying to imply. “Just tell me. Where did the money go?”

“Hmm, let me think. Two years ago, we invested in a ship. Last year, we purchased a plane. In the first half of this year, we acquired a huge batch of jade stones. All of them were purchased under the company’s name. Unfortunately, the ship crashed while the plane is grounded currently due to some regulatory issues, and the jade stones are yet to be processed, so I’m unsure of their current value,” she answered nonchalantly.

Bruce was fuming on the other end of the line. However, if what Alice claimed was true and the purchases were made under the company’s name, then she couldn’t be held responsible for this. And even worse, the money couldn’t be recovered.

“Alice, can you be any stupider than this?!” He hung up the phone in anger. He was no longer the confident person he once was when he first took over Woland Group.

Meanwhile, Alice couldn’t help but chuckle. He’s already getting edgy from this? This is just the beginning. There will be many more things that will make him anxious and enraged along the way.

Bruce was agitated, and so was Elijah as he glared with anger and frustration at Emma in the president’s office. “Answer me. How did Alice obtain those photos and videos? How did she find out about our affairs?”

“I have no idea how this happened.” Emma was also completely shocked when she found out about this. She also wondered how Alice had discovered her and Elijah’s affair.
