Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 173

Audrey finished the juice in her cup and glanced at her ringing phone.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

She muted the TV and answered the call.

“Ms. Yeomans, Charles has repaid the money he owes, but he has taken another loan,” Shawn’s voice came through the phone. Audrey wasn’t surprised.

This time, Charles should have embezzled the money intended for producing that batch of drugs.

After all, she had instructed Shawn to remind Charles to secretly take that money, win it back at the

gambling table, and return it without anyone noticing.

Charles didn’t have the courage, so he chose to steal the formula.

Audrey kept silent, intending to lull Charles into a false sense of security while he gambled, leading him to believe that everything was under control. He would then ultimately plunge back into a desperate situation.

As long as Charles was in dire straits, he would be tempted to embezzle that money again-with the delusion that he could win it back at the gambling table and quietly return it without consequences.

This was typical gambler psychology.

Audrey took advantage of Charles‘ mindset to push him and the Murray Group into a corner, dragging Nathan and the Franklin Group down.

When Nathan saved Charles back then, she felt so angry and helpless. Audrey wanted them to experience the same pain. She smiled. “I understand. Thank you for your help, Shawn.”

“Ms. Yeomans, I’m just doing as | should. | messed up before, but thanks to you speaking to Mr. Davis, he let me off the hook. | won't forget your kindness,” Shawn replied.

After hanging up, Audrey waited for Nathan to discover that Charles had embezzled the Murray Group’s money.

She wanted to see how Nathan would fill this hole in the Murray Group’s funds, especially since the Franklin Group was also tight on funds.

Oh, and there was also Amelia. Audrey wondered if Amelia would help her cousin's family.

And as Audrey anticipated, it didn’t take long for the Murray Group to discover that a significant amount of money in their account was missing. Moreover, Charles transferred the money out multiple times.

Chapter 173 202 When Charles‘ father, Norman, caught him, they discovered that Charles had squandered nearly 100

million at the casino.

Norman fainted on the spot upon hearing this news and was rushed to the hospital. Amelia hurriedly took leave from the filming and rushed back to Sheysea.

When she arrived at the hospital, Charles knelt before her and pleaded, “Amelia! You have to save me this time! | just... | thought | could win back the money at the casino, so | embezzled public funds recklessly.

“My dad... My dad said he'll send me to prison because he doesn’t know how to make things right with Nathan! Amelia, you have to save me!”

Amelia had already learned about the situation on her way back and was trembling with anger. “How could you gamble? When you called me before asking for money, was it for gambling?”

Charles hesitated and nodded. “Yes...” “Charles!” Amelia pressed a hand to her chest.

“Are you out of your mind? 100 million! How could you do this? You know perfectly well that this time, the Franklin Group asked the Murray Group to manage this deal so we could share the profits!

“Nathan already signed a contract with Evergreen Biotech. If we can’t deliver this batch of drugs on time, we'll be hit with a massive penalty!”
