Chapter 32
A week later, the search and rescue in the town were completely over. There was no necessity for Edward to stay any longer and he had to return to S city first.
Because of his previous absence, Long's Company is in an unprecedented crisis.
"Sir, Golden Bridge Company is urging us to pay for goods." The finance director said with trepidation.
"Don't bother me with such little thing. Just give it to them." Edward said impatiently.
"But we have no money on our account, we ..." The finance director hesitated.
"What's going on?" Edward was really angry. As far as he knew, the company still had several hundred million dollars of working capital. How could it have disappeared all of a sudden?
"Three days ago, the new products of our company which released in advance was involved in an infringement case, and now all the funds on the account have been frozen."
"Who let you release the products in advance? Isn't it half a month before the press conference?"
"It is Lady Long. "It was Catherine, who was the shareholder and director of the company. She barely cared about the company and it was odd that she suddenly started to deal with the business.
"Find Laura." Edward suppressed his anger and wanted to ask the chief designer of this batch of clothes about the whole thing.
"I'm sorry, Sir. Laura hasn't been in the company for two days." The finance director also felt something was wrong. "Mr. Long, shall we call the police?"
"Wait," Edward stopped her. He remembered the chief designer Laura had been introduced by Ruby.
Gradually, Edward's face changed. He suddenly had a bad feeling ...
At 9: 30 p.m., Edward returned to Long's villa.
He looked around and found Catherine in the family hall for worship in the backyard. Catherine was wearing a plain robe and kneeling in front of the Buddha with beads in her hand. She looked very devout.
"Since when did you start to interfere with the business issues?" Edward asked bluntly.
"Can't you wait until I finish reciting the sutra?" Catherine was very angry at Edward's sudden interruption.
She turned her head and scolded, "You are possessed by evil spirits now, aren't you? For the sake of that b*tch, you won't even return home, and won't care about the company." "Who do you call a b*tch?" Edward slowly stepped into the hall, kicked over the incense table without warning, the incense burner rolled down and ashes scattered all over the floor.
"What are you doing?" Catherine was also frightened by Edward's appearance.
"You are not allowed to say that about her again, otherwise don't blame me for doing anything that embarrasses you."
Then he turned around and left, leaving Catherine a decisive figure. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"You unfilial son!" Catherine growled, but she could not save their relations.
After several days of investigation, the matter was basically clear.
It was the designer Laura who took advantage of Edward's absence and took the initiative to find Catherine and let her agree to the early listing of the clothes designed by her. As she said, it was necessary for the company to seize the market. Catherine was the kind of person who liked to pretend to understand something she actually had no idea, so she was very easy to be used.
However, the most critical problem was that Laura was missing, making things very difficult.
For three days, the shares of Long's Company fell to a limit due to the scandal of divorce and domestic violence and infringement lawsuits. This was even worse for Edward, who was already worried.
"Why are you here?" Edward was working on the file when Ruby come in.
She changed her heavy make-up to make her look fresher. Especially, she made her hair as black and straight as Bella. At first glance, Edward thought it was Bella.
