Chapter 571
Sweet Subterfuge
Now that Kevan had leaked insider information to him and recalled the ship, there wouldnât be any conclusive evidence of Codyâs misdeeds Cody could easily find a way out to shift the blame to the suppliers overseas.
The most serious consequence to him would only be the loss of the money heâd invested. If Cody had signed a contract with overseas suppliers for payment upon delivery, he wouldnât suffer from any losses at all âAs you said, I have my own principles. I will not drag other people into a personal grudge against my cousin,â Kevan replied in a deep voice that had art of amusement in it.
Lewis was taken aback initially, but he quickly recovered. âIs it because of Lari??
Smiling at him meaningfully, Kevan tumed around and went up the stairs with large strides, taking two steps at a time.
At the top of the stairs, he stood with his back facing Lewis. With a hand in his pocket, he carelessly waved the other hand al Lewis. âSee you.â
Larissa keenly noticed that the expression on Lewisâs lace was significantly changed alter returning to the hospital ward.
Time and again, he stole glances at Gary repeatedly, as if he had something important to discuss with him.
Recalling what Kevan said when he dragged Lewis out of the room. Larissa could vaguely guess that Lewis wanted to talk about some problems with the company.
However, Gary had just made it clear that he would discuss anything about work during his vacation, and Lewis was hesitant to bring it up directly.
Larissa gave him a way out by asking intentionally, âWhat did Kevan say to you?â
Lewis quickly followed up on her question, âThereâs a problem regarding our partnership with Soaring Corporation He briefly glanced at Gary, waiting for his reaction.
Frowning, Gary looked at Larissa on the hospital bed and instructed Lewis, âLetâs talk outside.â He didnât want to disturb Larissaâs rest.
They didnât go too far. just in the corridor outside the VIP ward.
Since Larissa alone was staying in this area, doctors and nurses rarely came around unless necessary.
Lewis recourted in detal everything he heard from Kevan to Gary.
Garyâs expression darkened considerably. âFind out who is responsible for inspecting this shipment. If there are really prohibited goods. let the legal department handle them, I want the person accountable for this blunder to go bankrupt and rat in jail!â
Afraid that Larissa would overhear him, Gary deliberately lowered his voice. Even so, he couldnât hide his fuming outrage.
Since the beginning. Gary had never thought that Cody would dare to scheme against him. Moreover, he never expected that the subordinates that he had mentored for many years could be bought off to commit such unethical and illegal acts, He had only let go of the companyâs reins for a week and yet the management of the company was already in such burmoll, This indirectly reflected the incompetence of all the subordinates under him.
âLewis, you are the only one I can trust now. When Iâm gone, I entrust you with Lar and the company,â
Gary said with a deep sign and patted Lewisâs shoulder.
His was already in poor condition, so it was possible that he would suddenly pass on without warning.
Initially, his only concem was regarding the company, but now he had another person to worry about.
Lewis held on to Garyâs hand and declared solemnly âTaking care of Lari is already my responsibility.â
Gary had raised him since he was a child and had given him a comfortable life that heâd enjoyed, so it was time for him to repay his debis.
âHowever there are some things that you may want to handle personally.â
