Chapter 160

Elaine stormed into the CEO’s office, disbelief etched on her face “What on earth is Whitney thinking? Ludwik, why would she siphon off 400 billion of your liquid assets? What’s her endgame?”

Even Felix could not temper Elaine’s fury because, indeed, Whitney’s move was akin to pushing the CEO into a corner with no way out.

Why would she do this?

“Mr. Lippert, we’ve located Madam!”

“Where?” Ludwik’s face was a mask, cold and unmoving. He stood up, ready to leave.

He remained deaf to the clamor outside, his bodyguards blocking anyone from approaching, his mind and sight filled with thoughts of that woman.

Did Orion coerce her?

He could not believe it. He refused to believe that she would drain all the funds from his company, forcing him into the brink of bankruptcy.

Elaine followed him into the car, staying close by his side.

Felix pulled out the investigation results, his brow furrowed. “Mr. Lippert, I’ve double–checked. The 400 billion was transferred to an offshore construction company that just won the bid for the Braxton property a couple of days ago. It’s Orion’s.”

The revelation hit like thunder.

Ludwik’s gaze was icy as the depths of hell.

Whitney had made a mistake in the bidding documents, causing him to lose the hotel project.

He thought it was an accident and was willing to trust her.

Now, with the hotel project scrapped and a 120 billion compensation looming, Whitney transferred his 400 billion dollars away.

No, he could not believe it. How could she be involved with Orion? He just could not believe it.

His heart was ice–cold as he rode in silence.

Soon, the car arrived at a villa in the suburbs. Felix signaled the armed bodyguards to split into two teams and sneak in.
