Chapter 132 Exposure
Chapter 132 Exposure
Angus was a little anxious. He watched the interaction between Andrew and Lily, as if he had seen a cooked duck fly. Then he looked at Noble, with a cigarette between his fingers, and slowly blew it in front of everyone.
"Mr. Noble, if there's nothing else, please leave. Don't get in the way of our business."
"I won't stand in the way when you talk about your business." After all, Noble slowly exhaled a smoke, and the smoke was lingering between the rooms, giving a hazy feeling, no one could see his face clearly, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
"You have seriously delayed my negotiation with other companies here." Said Angus in a tough tone.
Noble raised his head and looked at him with coldness in his eyes, "Don't forget that I own this city."
"You..." Angus couldn't say a word.
"Don't try to circulate money here." Said Noble in a cold tone again.
"Mr. Noble, if you..." Angus wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by Noble, "Five minutes over."
After saying that, he threw the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and stood up.
No one knew what he was going to do, and no one knew what he meant by saying "five minutes over", but was confused by his strange words.
Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside. Several policemen in uniform came in, followed by Ellison and Hailey. Hailey didn't look well, with dark circles around her eyes.
"Mr. Angus, you are suspected of commercial fraud, please come with us." The policeman walking in the front took out the arrest warrant and said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Angus became completely panic. He turned around and wanted to run away. However, since there were so many people standing at the door, it was impossible for him to escape. The hotel was on the third floor and the road below was used for cars. Even if he could not die from falling down, he might be crushed to death by the cars.
In the end, he had to accept and was taken away by the police.
After Angus and others were taken away, there were only several people in the conference room at the moment, Lily, Andrew, Noble, Ellison and Hailey.
Perhaps it was because they were a little tired after arriving here, Ellison and Hailey chose the nearest chair and sat down directly. In order to give the place to Ellison, Noble moved his body and stood closer to Lily.
However, Andrew was still in a daze. He turned to Lily and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Lily looked at him, lips bit, and said, "Brother, I have told you a long time ago that the cooperation with the AF Company is a swindler, but both you and uncle Kerr don't believe it. Now you see, he is indeed a swindler, who has been taken away by the police."
Hearing that, Andrew frowned. It was true that he heard that AF Company was attracting investment in the Guan city was a scam at the beginning, but at that time, both his father and himself thought she was only a child, and they think that she was just joking. It never occurred to them that it was true.
"Lily, tell me. How did you know that he was a swindler?" Ellison looked at Lily and said.
At the same time, almost everyone turned to look at her, expecting her answer.
Hmm…
This question came again. How should she answer it!
"Ahem!" Lily deliberately cleared her throat and said two words, imitating the gesture of Noble he used to take before, "It's a secret."
"Haha..." Hearing this, Noble suddenly laughed. He reached out his hand and rubbed her head. "Don't learn from me. It's not the same."
"Of course it's not like you. A high-cold male god, how could a little girl like me learn it?" Lily said cheerfully.
"Well, brother Noble." Suddenly, Ron screamed, "Don't touch her head! If Eric saw this, he will punch you!"
Hearing his exaggerated tone, Lily immediately blushed and said, "Brother, don't be so exaggerated."
"Really? I called you little girl last time. What did he say?" Then he imitated the tone of Eric's voice, "Only I can call her this. Is that true?"
He resumed his voice when he finished the last sentence.
Lily's face was even redder, because when they were in the meeting room, she used this to change the topic in order not to answer Noble's question.
"Brother Ellison, stop talking about that." Lily glanced at Ellison shyly, and then turned to look at Noble, asking, "Brother, I'm very curious. How did you know that Angus's finance was in debt before we found the evidence?"
As soon as she asked this question, she felt like a fool. With his strength, and Hailey had been looking for evidence, not to mention that it was already five minutes' time he had just said. Obviously, he was buying time. He already knew that Hailey had got the evidence and was on the way.
"In the beginning, I didn't want to cooperate with him." Noble replied, "The day before I went abroad, he talked to me about our cooperation. At that time, I felt that he was sincere and thought we could talk about it. But I have a habit that when I talked about cooperation with others, I would investigate their companies. Therefore, when I found out the current situation of their company, I refused. After that, I was so busy that I called Ellison and Eric and told them what had happened, but I didn't expect that you had told them that it was a fraud case, and Ellison even asked Hailey to come back to get the evidence."
As far as Lily was concerned, may be it is the first time he say so many words and he had repeated what had happened.
"Brother Noble, there's one more thing that you don't know." Ellison continued, "I think Lily is really a ghost spirit. At that time, she didn't have evidence to prove that AF Company was a fraud group, but she was afraid that the Qiao company's project would be sold to him. So she took that project to me for cooperation. She even prepared a complete contract, which is waiting for my signature."
"Don't talk like that, okay? I'm smart." Lily said in a joking tone, "If we can't find evidence, we'll all lose to AF. What a good thing to cooperate with the Qiao company. The project is being unfolding, and after a while, the profit will be earned. Why don't you refuse the opportunity to earn money?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Fine, fine. You are clever." Ellison smiled. After this incident, he saw Lily in a different way. She was even younger than Eric, but she could do things as well as adults.
"It seems that Eric is really lucky," Hearing the conversation between the two people, Noble smiled.
"Are you ok?" At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded. Hailey lay on the table and opened her eyes powerlessly, as if she was about to fall asleep. "If you don't have anything, then hurry up. I am so sleepy. I haven't slept for two days. Could you please hurry up?"
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Hailey, totally different from what they had seen when she came in. Although she didn't have a good rest, but when she came in, at least she was in high spirits. But at this moment, she was completely sleepy.
"Okay, okay, okay. We'll go back right now." Ellison hurriedly said. He then stood up and walked to Hailey's side to help her up.
Hailey had almost reached the edge of her madness and could not stand on her own feet. Ellison had just held her firmly and did not let her go. In the end, she immediately soft. Fortunately, Ellison was quickly and held her again.
"Can you stand firm first?" He couldn't help but ask.
"No, I can't..." Hailey lowered her head and squinted. She was as soft as a doll whose air was sucked out.
Ellison put his hand on his forehead and supported her with both his hands. He walked towards her with great difficulty and turned his back to carry her on his back. Then he put his hands on her hip and lifted her whole body on his back.
Hailey also realized what she had done, so she put her hands around his neck directly in case that she wouldn't fall down, and then she continued to sleep on his back.
It seemed that they often did such things. Both of them were very familiar and natural, and they didn't feel embarrassed.
Ellison took Hailey back. Noble drove his own car away. As for Lily and Andrew, they had to go back to the manor.
Ellison carried Hailey on his back and walked in the front, while Lily walked next to Noble, and Andrew, who had been frowning and said nothing, followed them.
"By the way," As soon as they walked out of the hotel, Lily suddenly turned her head to look at Noble and asked, "Brother, where is Eric? I haven't seen him come yet."
"He's in G city." Noble answered briefly.
"G city?" Lily asked with a frown. In her memory, Eric had never mentioned G city to her. Why did he suddenly go there without telling her in advance?
"Grandfather is sick and he want to see Eric. He went there by plane last night." "Don't tell his mother about this."
"Okay." Lily nodded. No wonder he didn't contact her these two days.
She had a general idea of the blood relationship between Noble and Eric. But since his grandfather was sick, why couldn't tell his mother?
Seeing the confusion on her face, Noble raised his lips and said, "If you can't figure out something, you can ask Eric. After all, since you are together now, there shouldn't be any secrets between you two, especially the family relationship."
"I will ask him when he comes back." Lily replied.
"Yes." Noble nodded.
Arriving at the parking lot, they got on their own cars and went home.
