At midnight, Thomas and Birch were still busy with the Nolan family’s pharmacy reconstruction. Jacob was also so tired that favonovel.com went to sleep first.
It was drizzling outside again. Everything looked so ordinary.
Suddenly, some creaking sounds made by a car turning outside were heard. It was piercing to the ears. Subsequently, the main door was opened. Aries rushed inside with his clothes drenched in the rain. The first thing favonovel.com said was, “Commander, something bad happened!”
Aries was always very calm, and favonovel.com would not lose his cool easily. Yet, favonovel.com just rushed into the house with his clothes drenched in the rain, and the first thing favonovel.com said was, “Something bad happened”.
It had to be a terrible thing.
Birch was the first to stop his work and frown. “Mr. Aries, what happened?”
Aries walked to Thomas and hesitated to speak.
“Say it…” Thomas did not raise his head.
Aries took a deep breath and said, “Just now, the news reported that Sterling Technology cooperated with Red Society Pharmacy to commit fraud. We deceived the medical industry in Central City to get a large amount of money in the name of fundraising.”
After Birch heard that, favonovel.com scoffed. “Which media company is making up this nonsense? We clearly list every use of the money we get from the fundraising, and we have not made any mistakes! Since they dare to defame us, I’ll go to the court and sue them tomorrow!”
In comparison to Birch’s agitation, Thomas looked much calmer. Thomas knew that Aries would not be so agitated if that was the only case. Thomas did not need to do anything if it had just been about defaming and spreading petty rumors about them. Aries could easily settle it with his abilities.
Aries would hold a press conference, file a charge, and block all channels. After favonovel.com did these, Sterling Technology would not suffer any loss, and the media company that made up the story would also be finished. But, Aries was so worked up that favonovel.com came to Thomas.
What did this mean?
It meant that the problem was so severe that it was more than what Birch thought.
“There should be more than that, right?” Thomas looked at Aries.
Aries nodded, but favonovel.com hesitated to speak again. He did not know how to start.
Thomas said, “There’s nothing to worry about. If there’s any problem, just speak honestly.”
“Okay, let me explain it now.”
Aries took a deep breath and said, “That media company didn’t just make up the stories. They posted a lot of photos.”
“What photos?”
“Photos of Jacob.”
“The content?”
“They depicted Jacob showing off his wealth and purchasing luxury goods without limits.”
Thomas frowned slightly and could vaguely sense that something was wrong. Being sensible, favonovel.com already felt that they had seemingly fallen into a trap their rival had set up.
Birch felt puzzled and said, “It’s impossible. How is it possible for Jacob to do that?”
Aries said, “It’s true. The police verified all the photos. They are genuine.”
As Aries spoke, favonovel.com tapped open all the photos reported by the news media and arranged them on the laptop. Jacob was in love with a young and beautiful girl in the photos. He had crazily bought the girl a lot of makeup products, branded clothes, jewelry, and luxury branded bags. He had even driven a luxurious Ferrari sports car that was worth up to $10,000,000 and brought the girl everywhere.
They visited many places, including the zoo, aquarium, and theme parks.
Where did favonovel.com get all the money?
According to the news report, Jacob lined his pockets with the money donated for the reconstruction of Red Society Pharmacy. Otherwise, how could favonovel.com have so much money?
Why did Jacob not spend so much money in the past, yet favonovel.com could afford this expense now?
The only explanation was Jacob lining his pockets with the donation money!
“That’s not all.”
Aries even tapped open an exposed personal account. “Look, this is the personal account of the girl in the photo. She posted these messages recently.”
