Chapter 301 From Sunrise
After taking control, Darcy gained more confidence. Her words sounded more dignified than before.
Samus’ heart skipped a beat as he was frightened.
Deborah had her hands curled around Vincent’s arm as she strutted
over. “Darcy, you are in big trouble. Do you know what you have done?
No one can save you this time.”
“Enlighten me please, what did I do wrong?” Darcy sneered.
She knew Samus and Deborah well enough to know they must possess some evidence to be this
arrogant.
“You will find out soon,” Vincent said coldly.
Then, hurried footsteps came from the corridor and a group of
uniformed men entered.
The leader was a man in his early thirties. He scanned the room and
ultimately locked his gaze on Darcy.

investigating a case of business fraud. Please cooperate.”
All the executives in the meeting room were shocked.
The State Economic Investigation Division officers caused an uproar
with their arrival.
The company was at its most important stage as the pre-sale of Passion Fragrance District was around
the corner.
Why would the CEO be involved in a fraud?

If the matter was not solved in time, it would tarnish the company’s reputation when the news got out.
Darcy was scared. She took a deep breath and said, “Commissioner Feyan, Quintessential Group will
cooperate fully with your
investigation.”
Han nodded and waved at his men. “Bring her up.”
Soon, a beautiful woman in cuffs was brought into the meeting room.
“Jean Lander, the secretary to Mr. Rudy Quint, the former CEO of this company.”
The meeting room was in a tumultuous state. Other than the newcomers, most of the executives
recognized the woman.
“I thought Jean resigned half a month ago and she almost ruined our pre-sale permit. What does she
have to do with the business fraud?”
When the company applied for the pre-sale permit, Rudy told Jean to liaise with Ned Brooks of the
Housing Department.
However, before the permit was approved, Jean disappeared after she submitted her resignation.
Quintessential Group’s progress was halted and the whole project was almost ruined.
Now that she was arrested, the executives were delighted.
Darcy breathed a sigh of relief.
Jean was Rudy’s ex-secretary and even if she committed some business crime, it should not be related
to Darcy.

It was great that the vermin was caught.

Though Darcy was confused. She decided to let Rudy off the hook for the embezzlement since it would
strain the company resources even more to hold him responsible, so who reported Jean?
“Jean Lander, who ordered you to embezzle a million dollars from the company?” Han asked.
Jean stepped up and pointed at Darcy with her cuffed hands.
“It was Darcy Quint. She promised me a million dollars and wanted me to leave Lilyrose right away
after sabotaging the process of the pre-sale permit. I could only return when the coast was clear and
she would make me her assistant!”
The meeting room was in a state of shock.
Darcy was baffled. Jean’s confession stunned her like a bolt of lightning.
She did not expect Jean to point at her in front of the executives.
Rudy called Master Quint to the company and was outside the meeting room when Jean confessed.
Infuriated, he strode into the meeting room and shouted, “Darcy, it was you all along? You were the one
pulling the strings behind the scene? Why do I have such a despicable granddaughter!?”
