For a moment, everyone fixed their eyes on the ledger with different thoughts

Bishop didn't look panicked at all He raised his chin al the book Boh understood, and fotclwd the

ledger and laptop to him

Three minutes later. Bishop still looked ns composed as he hnd been He looked up al August nnd

said in a colder voice. "August, dad

His words changed Augusts expression Rage was burning in August s eyes Seconds later. August

snorted and ordered his men. “Send

After a pause, he continued. 'Fill the hole in three days’

Then he stood up and was to leave

“August™

Bishop stopped him 'If dad knows you frame me just to deprive me of my authority in the office, he

would be so bitterly disappointed’ “Btnertv disappointed’~ August stopped, and said grimly, "Still

refuse to admit before the end of your rope’

Then he looked at Burton “Bring him * «

Burton walked out the conference room fast Soon, he brought back a man

“Director Downs, tell me about it What happened*

The man rolled his eyes He swept his gaze through Bishop and landed it on August “President

Adams, is it about the accounts”

August didn't reply and just stared at him m silence

Director Downs could only bite the bullet and walked forward When he saw the ledger, his face

went pale

On the laptop screen was accounts that had been checked He could see clearly the gap between

accounts receivable and actual

accounts

Director Downs couldnt help sweating

He could never explain himself

The data was truthful and couldn't be forged His accusation was confirmed

August eyed him and spat Speak *

Director Downs trembled, face pale and tongue twisted

Brows knitted. August stared at him His patience was running out

He barely had any patience now

After two seconds, he looked towards one of his men named Jasper

Jasper understood He took a step forward and said, ' Joaquin Downs, if I didnt misremember, your

son should have his five years old

birthday two weeks ago. right”

As Jasper mentioned Director Downs s son, Director Downs's face went paler "Err Yes’

Jasper said word by word. “Five years old So young and so ignorant of and so eager to see the

beautiful world

“What do you want”

Director Downs got agitated and looked at the people beside him vigilantly

He finally had this one single son. who lie* spoiled so much, in his forties But now

Jasper smiled "What we want is decided by yourself *

Bishop wrinkled tue brows and suid coldly. August, what is H”*

August answered I think you should know the best about it'

He just learned this trick from Bishop

Jasper look out a phone and threw it m front of Director Downs The phone was playing a video A

childish voice calling dad’ could be

heard dearly

Lucia fell so disappointed and scared when she saw what happened

She had cold sweat on her back

She never expected that August should be bo vicious and shameless as to threaten Director Downs

with a child!

“What do you want?" Director Downs panicked "Why is my son in your hand”

August Mid unhurriedly, "When you manipulated the account. you should have seen this If your eon

perished. you have only ypureelf to

blame*

His words were ao ruthless They were like cold blades slabbed Into Diicctoi Downs a heart as well as

I ucias heart

That was merely a five year old kid He had no difference from Timothy and Janet Granted, his father

did the wrong thing, but he was

innocent

Lucia felt bitter in her heart and fell more disdain toward August

This man was c»uoler than she had expected

Director Downs panicked He cast several glances al Dishop, but received no response

Jasper looked al Director Downs and continued. “You have three minutes to tell us what you know

and keep your kid safe Otherwise.

Bishop Adams order

Hearing this. Bishop narrowed his eyes Ho seized Director Downs as if he wanted to see the man

through Then, he sneered. “What a play’

“Mt Bishop Adams Im sorry”

As Directoi Downs said so. he fumbled for something in his pocket After he found what he was

looking for, he handed it to August with both his hands “President Adams, this this is the evidence I

left Please have a look *

It was a tinny silver Pash drive No one knew what it contained

August mentioned Jasper taking the flash drive After Jasper plugged it into the laptop, he exported

everything in it

All were proof of what Bishop had done

Bishop couldnt continue defending himself anymore

Bishop dtdnt expect Director Downs should have sold him out so easily’ What was more ol a

surprise to him was that Director Downs

should have specially kept the evidence in a flash drive

Any more of your chicanery” August showed Bishop the evidence in the flash drive with the laptop

Bishop was rendered woidless

This farce, up to this point, should come to an end

August stood up and mentioned Jasper to bring Director Downs away He then looked at Bishop

coldly and ordered, “Fill the holes up in three days *

After a pause, he continued, And then, get out of Lion Group"

Bishop snorted. "August No one would gain anything from our quarrel’

More than that, such a scandal would destroy Lion Groups reputation, winch would lead to a

slump in Lions stock price

It was senous However. August could cover up the facts if he wanted

Hearing tins. August abruptly stared at Bishop grimly "Bishop, whom do you think youre"

Bishop nad used his official power to embezzle so much of Lions funds And. after being proven

guilty, he should still want to cover

things up! August wouldn't let that happen

“Stop daydreaming"

After saying so. Aurjut! left

When August was to walk out of the conference room. Bishop suddenly said. “So, August, is it a

declaration of war”

August slopped He then turned around, face dark and cold, and staled al Bishop II you think so.

There would sooner or later be a fierce wai between him and Bishop Now, Bishops manipulation

of accounts made August think that it was about time to clear things up frankly and brutally
