"Mom, whose money are you talking about here?"
"Isn't that all your money? They were sent in the name of your account. I can't be wrong. Girl, if you really want to ask for the excess just tell me. I can't possibly let you live a hard life."
"First, I didn't send anything. Second, how much money did you receive, mom?"
Jessica knew her mother well, a small amount of money would not make her mother so grateful. There will be no excess money. There was never any extra money that Michelle could save for herself or for her children.
"It’s 5 million dollars," Michelle immediately stated the amount of money happily. How come did you hide it from me, you should—”
"Five million? Impossible!!" Jessica was shocked on the other side of the phone.
That amount was more than enough to pay Michael tution free until he graduated. Alas, Jessica never had that kind of money. She hadn't been working for long and never had a million in her account.
That was after fairly tight budgeting so that Jessica could set aside a portion of her income to buy investment products. All that money definitely didn't belong to her. Where's all that money coming from?
Michelle said that she had told Michael to contact her and ask for some money for university enrollment. Michelle didn't expect Jessica to be so generous in sending such a large amount of money for her brother.
Michael did contact Jessica. She didn't pick up his call because she was caught between Alicia and Theodore yesterday. So she messaged her brother afterward.
Michael didn't say much. He only said that he missed his sister and wanted to know how she was doing, such as is Jessica okay and have her eat properly. Her brother is indeed the only one in the world. She was grateful to have Michael as her younger brother. Jessica was even more grateful that Michael didn't inherit her mother's traits. Her younger brother is very modest, understanding, and very caring.
Michael didn't even mention the slightest bit about university enrollment fees to Jessica. He did not dare to burden his sister further regarding money.
Now that her mother had received that amount of money, Jessica was unsure and immediately checked her bank account. There have indeed been some large transactions that have taken place in the last few dates.
The five million dollars suddenly appeared in her account and was immediately transferred to her mother's account. Jessica used her lunch hour to check the origin of the money in her account and how it was in her account.
After further checking, Jessica finally knew the origin of the money. The money came from the Falcon Foundation's finances. One of the foundations under Falcon Enterprise, but why did the foundation office send such a large amount of money to her account?
That afternoon Jessica went to the Falcon Foundation office, as the headquarter representative to do some checking. To her surprise, Jessica did not find any records in the Falcon foundation office explaining the transfer of funds to her account.
The five million yuan was not recorded in the Falcon foundation's books. It was as if the money had never been there. Not even with shipping transactions to her account. The money is like a ghost.
"Miss Becker, I've been looking for you all this afternoon. Where did you go?" It's Ervin Claymont, Finance Director of Falcon Enterprise. He stopped Jessica when she wanted to go back into her office.
"Mr. Calymont, I'm sorry, I went to the Falcon Foundation office to check on something."
"You dare to go to the Falcon Foundation office to check something? You are really shameless. Come with me to the conference room. The internal audit committee has been looking for you!"
The internal audit department is looking for me?
Could it be about the amount of money that went into her account?
Jessica's heart felt like it had fallen into her stomach. What exactly happened?
"Miss Becker is here!" Mr. Claymont guided Jessica into the conference room. Inside the room were already several familiar faces. "Miss Becker, have you received 5 million yuan in your account?" The Head of Internal Audit questioned Jessica. "Yes, I have, but I—" don't know how the money got into the account? Did the company make a transfer error? "You've admitted it. Miss Becker, what do you think you call this one of your actions? How shameless of you!" Mr. Claymont shouted angrily. This seems to have taken a serious turn as the internal audit board stepped in. "Miss Becker, I have received a report that you committed money laundering and you just admitted that you received the money." The head of the internal audit felt complicated as he looked at Jessica, there was disbelief in the corner of his eye.He thought someone working on the direct recommendation of the Weisberg family should be able to keep their bearings. "I did receive the money, but I really don't know why th
"Miss Weisberg, what do you mean?" Just a moment ago Alicia defended her, a moment later she pushed all the blame on her. Alicia has always been a considerate sister, but it seems like she turned upside down today."You're too naive Jessie. You should do it right, if you really need that money. You can come to talk to me and I'll gladly help you." Alicia continued her words with a thoughtful exhortation. Closed the gap of suspicion that had appeared in the corner of Jessica's heart.Such a scheme… It's easy for Alicia to frame her, but why?"I—I really didn't do something like this, Miss Weisberg. Please trust me!" Jessica didn't want to beg for forgiveness like this, she was completely innocent."Well, say you didn't do this, then how do you explain the existence of that five million dollars on your account?"Jessica could think about anything but someone hacking into her bank account. This meticulous work can't just happen by a false error… they’re too specific. "Okay, for now y
"Could it be… Mr. Weisberg?" "You know it can’t be helped, right? I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this." Alicia shows her regret about his father's 'doings'. As if to confirm that Jessica was indeed trapped by Alistair Weisberg. Jessica looked at Alicia with complicated thoughts. Regarding that request that Alicia made, it was completely beyond her control. "Can't you just find another woman to do this?" "I've thought about it, I also don't want to sacrifice our friendship, but I think my father has his plans. He trusts you too much, he thinks you and Theodore are well acquainted with each other. It will be easier and faster if you are the one who handles Theodore for me." What's easy? Defeating a tiger-like Theodore would you call it easy? "Miss Weisberg, to be honest, I don't even have the confidence for this. How could I possibly attract Theodore's attention? This plan is too far-fetched." "Don't be discouraged by yourself, Jess. You have your values and I'm sure Theo
Jessica sent a message that asked Theodore to pick up Alicia. It’s a bit odd, usually Alicia would call him herself so Theodore immediately called Alicia. He made several calls but no one went through. Alicia's number was currently off.Ignoring Aaron's whining, Theodore ended up calling Jessica."Let me talk to Alicia," Theodore's stern words sounded icy as always. It was even worse because he had to call Jessica to reach Alicia. Seems like he will scold Alicia later for not picking her phone. "I'm sorry, Miss Weisberg is in the restroom. Her phone is off, so she asked me to call you. Can you come to pick us—I mean, pick her up. The driver is having trouble with the car engine. If we wait for another car from the company, it will take a while. It's getting dark here. I heard that you’re forbidding Miss Weisberg to take a ta—""Alright, that’s enough. I'll get her," Theodore took no time to think. When it comes to Alicia, he can act spontaneously and put aside everything at his han
"Take you home?" Theodore turned around angrily."Yes, I was here waiting for you. Can't you be a little responsible.""What responsibility? You're the one who stupid enough to stand here alone waiting for me. How dare you ask me to take responsibility?" That piece of the sentence was a little strange if you only heard the last sentence.The security even started glancing at Jessica and Theodore, to make sure whether the two of them were in an irresponsible lover's fight? Because she sounded like a woman who had been dumped."If you can't take me. At least, let me have a ride to the city to get the bus."Theodore had never seen Jessica possessed such courage. He didn't know she could go this far and grumble. They had never interacted or talked so casually like this. Jessica had always been polite and rather timid. What drives her to act so shamelessly?"What if I don't want to give you a ride? You can take a taxi to go home by yourself.”That was what Jessica wanted too. She also
Theodore pulled her bag and abruptly unpacked it without asking. There weren't many things that she had brought. So Theodore immediately found a small bottle of the suspicious liquid. That must be where all the smell came from."Hey, what are you doing?""You know, this thing stinks!" Theodore held the perfume bottle in front of Jessica's face.Well, I know it's not an expensive perfume.The price is probably half that of a bottle of branded perfume. But she fell in love with the fragrance when she first smelled it from the sample paper the sales offered. She didn’t contemplate too much and bought it right away. "Don't ever use this perfume ever again!" Theodore reprimanded her and threw the perfume bottle into the back seat."NO! What the hell—" Jessica turned to the back seat. Where did the perfume fall?Theodore immediately started the car, not giving Jessica a chance to find her precious perfume.Aish .. Jessica felt so lost. She just bought the perfume last week and only
"Old man, don't get in our way. Go find another place to make out!" A fat girl pushed Theodore to make a way. There are five girls behind her. There's very likely a high schooler in their fifteen or sixteen. They’re quite catchy with some kind of fan attribute attached all over their body. "Cammy, don't be rude!" Said the other girl with a big headband. "I’m sorry uncle, my friend is a bit impatient." Who do they call uncle? Theodore frowned. He’s ready to refute it but another girl shouted excitedly. "Geez, what a beauty!” The girl was stunned as she looked at Jessica's face. ”Are you a celebrity?" “No, I’m not.” Jessica's face flushed with embarrassment. “Don’t flatter me, I think I’m not that pretty.” Even though it was late at night, with the light from the convenience store, those girls could see Jessica's face clearly. They’re noisy with each other discussing whether they should ask for photos or not. "No, we’re being honest. You’re indeed as beautiful as the idol we
“Theodore!” No! It is a bit different than before. She just repeated with a loud and disrespectful tone. It sounds like an insult when Theodore realizes it. They never had a chance to call each other so casually. After all, they had never been so close before to address each other's names. What’s with the sudden change…"It seems like you are underestimating me." Theodore's hand gripped her jaw, pressing her head against the wall.It sent the chill back of her head throbbed in pain from hitting the wall. It was wrong to think Theodore will soften up. He might put bandages on her and walk her home. In reality, he was only a demon who knew how to deceive outsiders with his appearance. "I think you need to understand a few things!" Theodore pressed harder.Jessica was too scared to move under Theodore's threat. Her head also continued to throb uncomfortably. Did he finally decide to kill her tonight?What she didn't know, that man in front of her had to go through self-contradicti
