NovelEndChapter 177 Serena's eyes were devoid of any warmth as she coldly stared at the gangsters huddled in the corner.
The police had interrogated them twice but got nothing.
Serena spoke up directly. "Among the documents you just destroyed, besides Amber Group's financial records and materials, there were also confidential files I brought from Jansen Group.
"You've committed corporate espionage. If you don't reveal who's behind this, I'll get a lawyer and have every single one of you thrown in prison for at least three years." As soon as she finished speaking, the previously silent gangsters all snapped their heads up.
"Prison? She never said we'd go to prison!" "I don't want to go to prison!" Chandler was stunned. Just moments ago, Serena was gently comforting a young woman, and now she was sending people straight to prison? She really was worthy of Hugh's attention.
Serena said nothing more, letting the police take advantage of the moment to press further. It didn't take long before someone blurted out the mastermind- Shania.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShania didn't dare struggle under the police's grip. But the moment she was shoved in front of Serena, her eyes turned red with fury.
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing, tricking these idiot gangsters! You can't even bring Jansen Group's confidential files into Amber Group! What kind of trap are you trying to set? "Besides, these documents are mine! What's wrong withwanting to destroy them?" Serena was already getting a headache from her shouting. She said calmly and coldly, "Only fools rely on fools. Since you are so smart to see through my tactics, don't you know that corporate records belong to the person in power? "Right now, I'm the one in charge of Amber Group. You're just an ex-executive. What right do you have to handle these documents?" She arched a brow slightly, looking down at Shania with open contempt.
If it weren't for Shania's embezzlement, Amber Group wouldn't have fallen apart so quickly.
Shania didn't expect her niece to be this arrogant. Seeing that she had completely lost, her eyes burned with rage.
With a sudden movement, she smashed a porcelain vase nearby, grabbed a sharp shard, and lunged at Serena. "You're the idiot! I... I'll kill you!" "Watch out!" Alicia gasped, trying to pull Serena back.
Serena's pupils shrank. She didn't expect Shania to go this crazy.
The jagged piece of porcelain sliced through the air, aiming straight for her face.
On instinct, Serena squeezed her eyes shut and stepped back.
But, the pain never came. Instead, she heard a loud thud as something heavy hit the floor.
She snapped her eyes open-only to be enveloped by a large shadow.
Hugh's warm palm hovered near her face, as if he had wanted to touch her to check for injuries. But his gaze was icy cold.
"Are you okay?" His hand, half-raised, hesitated before slowly lowering.
He was afraid. Afraid that if he overstepped-if she noticed everything he had now would collapse.
From the corner of her eye, Serena finally noticed Shania lying sprawled on the ground, having been kicked away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeveral officers and security guards quickly pinned her down.
Even as she struggled, she shrieked, "Letgo! I'm a citizen! You can't just— ah!" "If you have anything to say, say it at the police station!" The officers swiftly dragged her away.
Serena finally snapped out of her daze and turned to Hugh, meeting his gaze. "I'm fine, You arrived just in time. The porcelain didn't even scratch me. "You've already sent Chandler. Why did you cin person? Aren't you busy?"
A storm raged in Hugh's eyes. At a was tlike this, she was only worried about whether he was busy? Did she E have any idea? The moment he walked in and saw Shania lunging at her, his heart had nearly stopped.
But facing her clear, untroubled eyes, he couldn't say a single word of reproach.
After a long pause, he finally spoke in a low, measured tone. "I was just passing by." Serena blinked, confused.
He was just passing by?
If she remembered correctly, the Larson Group was on the opposite side of the city. How exactly was he En passing by?
