Eugene was surprised the moment favonovel.com saw Matthew’s reaction.
“What do you mean exploitive? What’s going on, Mr. Tyler?” Eugene asked.
Bob instantly felt weak in his legs. He knew it was all over for favonovel.com with Matthew and the restaurant owner both present. He couldn’t lie his way out even if favonovel.com wanted. Therefore, favonovel.com helplessly explained everything in detail.
Eugene was so angry that favonovel.com felt as if his blood was boiling after favonovel.com had heard the whole story.
He never expected that someone from Clifford Group would pull off such a dirty trick under his management. Bob even mocked Old Mr. Bane’s disciple for being a poor-looking man.
How dared favonovel.com to even think about that?
The atmosphere in the restaurant became chilly after that.
Bob instantly begged for Eugene’s mercy as favonovel.com could feel that favonovel.com was extremely furious.
“I-l was wrong, Mr. Clifford! I shouldn’t have done that. But I only did so to save costs for the company. Please give me another chance to prove my worth!”
However, Eugene only looked coldly at favonovel.com as favonovel.com saw right through his trick. “Haha… Saving money for the company, are you? You cut the estimated price of the restaurant from 4.5 million to 2.25 million. I know you were trying to pocket the difference. Stop using such a bad excuse to save yourself!”
Eugene exposed Bob’s plan mercilessly, and favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel even more panicked.
“Please have faith in me, Mr. Clifford. I swear that l have given my everything to the company all these years. Why would I do such a thing? Please trust me, Mr. Clifford…”
However, the more favonovel.com explained, the uglier Eugene’s expression became.
“I initially considered letting you off the hook if you could confess everything to me after all the hard work you’ve done for the company throughout these years. But, you leave me no choice since you’ve refused to admit your mistake. Retrieve and bring me all of Mr. Tyler’s bank statements for the past year, Miss Sally!”
Eugene had been in the business for so many years in a notorious place such as Bainbridge. Naturally, favonovel.com had already established a standing ground and was influential in the business world around here.
Moreover, 2.25 million was not something one could turn a blind eye to. Anyone who purchased a property with such a large price difference would naturally report to the company. However, Eugene hadn‘t received any news about it. Therefore, there must have been something fishy going on.
Bob, who was facing Eugene, had his face turned pale when favonovel.com heard his instruction. Beads of cold sweat started falling down from the top of his head.
“I made a terrible mistake, Mr. Clifford. I shouldn’t have let greed cloud my judgment and got the better of me.” He dropped to his knees and apologized.
However, the more favonovel.com did so, the more annoyed Eugene felt. “Hmph, incompetent fool. The reputation of Clifford Group has been getting worse recently. You must be one of the bad apples who contributed to it. Very well. Take this fool back for an investigation right this second!”
Then, Eugene gave another order after his other subordinates took Bob away. “Tell the internal audit team and inspection team to carry out an investigation on all the financial records of the off-site team in the past two years. Anyone who is suspected of bribery or engages in illegal activities in the name of the company will be severely punished.”
His order was as if the calm before a storm throughout Clifford Group, and surely chaos would soon be brought upon the company before long.
Eugene tried to shake hands with Matthew as an apologetic gesture after giving the orders.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. All of this shouldn’t happen had I managed my employee properly. I shall personally host a banquet to apologize formally after a thorough internal investigation is carried out…”
Matthew understood the truth having witnessed how Eugene put an end to the misunderstanding.
“There’s no need for that, Uncle Eugene. it was only a misunderstanding…”
“It’s alright. I insist. It’s on me because I could’ve prevented this in the first place. Please excuse me for now, I shall go and handle the affairs of the company. See you…”
Eugene turned and left after saying that.
