I introduced myself, and As responded, “I know.” His reply surprised me.
“Um… I was wondering if you could join me for lunch.
I’d like to return your coat.” “No,” he replied, leaving me feeling quite embarrassed.
He sure didn’t beat around the bush.
As I struggled to respond, he continued, “2 p.m.
at the cafe in the Glenmarie za lobby.” As wasn’t refusing me, but there was a scheduling conflict.
“Okay! See you then!” After ending the call, I silently repeated the name ATL Empire.

They must have gone out.

As soon as I entered a stall, I could hear two peopleing in while murmuring.
“Can you believe how unlucky Erica was? She got yelled at!” “Wasn’t it Mr.
Murphy who approved the payment? Why would he be angry?” “With his signature and his wife
requesting the money, Erica wouldn’t dare reject the application, right?” I suddenly understood they
were discussing the money I requested earlier that day.
They continued, “It’s clear that he wasn’t happy with it.
Looks like Chloe doesn’t mean that much to him.” “Isn’t she the founder of ourpany? Why is it so
hard for her to get such little money?” “That was centuries ago! I heard Mr.
Murphy has a mistress now.
One of them lowered their voice and continued, “I overheard him tell Erica a few days ago not to
deposit payments into thepany’s ount.
“He must have subsidiarypanies.” Isn’t that a little cold of him? “He’s trying to protect himself from
Chloe.
She’s truly pitiful, and one day she’ll have nothing.
Look at he now She only requested a hundred thousand dors, and Mr.
Murphy scolded Erical Enca’s annoyed over +15 BONUS The Murphy family was all about money,
never turning it down.
My mom’s tone showed concern, “Chlo, are you…” “Don’t overthink it.
I’m just anxious.
Giving you guys money is always a struggle.
Isn’t it natural for a daughter to provide for her parents? Thepany is doing well now.
You should just ept our support for my peace of mind!” I emphasized it again.
My mother agreed reluctantly.
I However, I didn’t see Matthew transfer any money all day.
I knew he was trying to deceive me.
Over dinner, I asked him, and he said he forgot due to his busy schedule.
1 The following day at work I reminded him again.
He nodded repeatedly, promising to handle it soon My mother called me at noon to say Matthew wired
her ten thousand dors.
It left me speechless.
He only sent ten grand? I went to Matthew’s office.
His secretary said he was with a client.
After hearing about the client, I went to the finance department.
I filled out an application for a hundred thousand dors.
Disregarding his meeting, I went straight to his office.
unt stated.
I exined the situation and asked him to sign the form.
He hesitated when he saw the amount With a smile, I said, “The ten grand you sent is not enough.
They need to prepare for unexpected expenses since my dad suffers from something serious.
Let’s make sure they enjoy their retirement in peace.
He didn’t expect me to reveal the amount he sent in front of the client.
He was slightly embarrassed and quickly agreed.
“You’re right.
Your parents need peace of mind.” He signed the application form and tried to y it off by saying, “Ask
your mom if there’s anything else we can do for them.” I nodded and went to the finance department to
arrange the transfer.
After confirming my mother received the money, I returned to my office relieved.
I gave him a chance to boost his image since he valued it so much.
A satisfied smile spread across my face.
I picked up the phone to check the time.
Then, hesitantly, I dialed As’s number.

Murphy’s team? She probably didn’t expect that treatment.” One of them bitterly remarked, “Back when
Chloe was still around thepany, Erica stuck to her.
“But as soon as Chloe left, she turned to Mr.
Murphy.
Maybe she has a crush on him, but too bad he doesn’t feel the same way.” “She’s just enjoying the
benefits.
Do you think she’s in that position for nothing? She’s living her life, and I’d endure scoldings daily if I
could get those perks.” ” The two continued their hushed conversation and left.
It seems that Matthew yelled at Erica over my money transfer today.
His pious appearance and remarks about my parents‘ peace of mind had blinded me.
I had chosen such a despicable person to be my husband.
I called Ivanna to investigate thepany’s cash flow.
It appeared Johnson still had reservations about me.
“What do you mean?” “I think Matthew–might have shellpanies.
Investigate Mnie Murphy.
Henry Murphy, and Grace Murphy.
Check what assets are under these names.” “This guy has been nning for a long time,” Ivanna
snarled.
“I can’t believe it! He’s such a scumbag!” “He’s still pretending because he hasn’t settled everything yet.
So, I need to act quickly.
I think there are big discrepancies between the ounts.
Dig deeper for me.” “Got it.” *Also, check Erica Turner’s phone records.
I’ll send you her phone number shortly.
The more detailed, the better.
See if there are other ounts under her name.
Do you need her ID?” “No, her phone number is enough.
Who is she?” “A Finance Director at Tanum Corporation.” “Understood.” i need conclusive evidence
that proves my point.” I directed Ivanna in the exact direction I wanted her to Invectigate I felt some
relief and went to have some pasta for lunch.
Then I took Atles‘ cost and went to the cafe, only to find him already there.
+15 BONUS I smiled and walked over.
“I’m sorry, am Ite?” He gave a mischievous half–smile, “I was having lunch nearby with a client.
I got here early.” I handed him the coat.
“I’ve had it dry–cleaned.
Thank you!” He took it and ced it on the seat next to him.
“What would you like to drink?” Just fruit juice.” Before I could even order my drink, As pointed
outside the window and looked at me.
I followed his gesture and looked over.
