The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 231 The Future of Veda

As expected, Emily tagged along with Abigail back home again.

Michael didn't even get a chance to chat with her, let alone have a deep conversation. Feeling pretty helpless, he headed back to Smith Corporation and got to work.

Luckily, there were some leads in the investigation.

At least Michael's trip before wasn't a total waste.

Ever since Roger stirred up trouble last time, Michael started digging into why Roger suddenly came back to the country and decided to settle in Emerald City with his wife and two daughters. Sure enough, he found some inside details.

Michael asked, "You mean he's in debt overseas?"

Andrew handed him the tablet and said, "More like he owes a ton of money."

Taking the tablet, Michael started going through Roger's recent spending records.

Sure enough, apart from Alice and Luna, Roger and his wife's spending had tanked. Plus, Roger seemed to be constantly juggling deficits between domestic and foreign accounts.

Basically, he was using small domestic profits to cover a massive foreign debt, but that wasn't gonna work long-term. The Ward family was on the edge of bankruptcy.

Andrew added, "So, it's pretty clear why he came to the company to mess with you. He's probably after the money your dad promised, so..."

Seeing Michael's face get darker, Andrew stopped talking.

The office was quiet except for the sound of Michael making coffee. After a while, he slowly looked up and poured the freshly made coffee into the trash. "From the start, I never planned to take back that ten percent of the shares. Considering my dad's promise, he could still be seen as a friend of the Smith family."
