A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 13 You dont have to , Im just skimming through , Ariana sa , starting to look as if she was going through the figures on the report meticulously .

She purposely read through the report painstakingly slowly from the first page until the last page .

Meanwhile , John was still standing opposite her , and he felt an immense pressure watching her .

His legs had turned to jelly and he could barely stand upright .

What did it mean for him to have embezzled tens of millions of dollars from the company ? It would mean he had to spend the rest of his life in jall ! Suddenly , Ariana threw the reports onto the table with a loud slam .

John was so startled that he very nearly fell to his knees right then and there .

However , to his surprise , he heard Ariana mumble , What the heck are all these numbers ? There are so many of them .

Whod know what they meant ? John froze when he heard Ariana say that .

Did that mean she couldnt understand a thing on the report ? Miranda also heard what Ariana said .

She frowned at once , disappointment showing in her eyes .

How could Carsons daughter not understand the simplest of their financial reports ? John wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a bright smile , Ms.

Torrey , Ive already told you that I can tell you everything you want to know about the company .

You didnt have to personally come here by yourself .

Youre right .

But these documents still need signing .

Ariana looked at Miranda next to her and said , Ms.

Ziegler , show me where I should sign for the rest of these documents and which ones I can ignore .

Id like to learn how to manage the company .

There was a slight pause before Miranda answered , Yes , Ms.

Torrey .

Mirandas voice was low and glum .

It was obvious that she was disappointed in Ariana .

When Ariana saw that John didnt look like he was going to leave any time soon , she said , Mr .

Wagner , what are you doing still standing there ? I dont need you here anymore .

John relaxed when he realized that Ariana didnt seem to know what she was doing .

So , he said , If thats the case , Ms.

Torrey , you may continue looking through the documents here .

Ill be on my way out .

Okay .

John only left when he saw that Ariana seemed disinterested in the rest of the documents in the pile .

Before he left , he even gave a warning look to Miranda , obviously warning her not to mention anything related to the company to Ariana .

The door finally closed shut after John left .

Miranda walked up next to Ariana and said , Ms.

Torrey , you may ask me if theres anything youre unsure about .

Youre disappointed in me , arent you ? No , Miranda answered after another pause .

You took a huge risk by handing me all these financial reports right under John Wagners eyes .

Arent you afraid that hell make things difficult for you after this ? Miranda was shocked when she heard this .

Ms.

Torrey ? 102 +25 BONUS Chapter 13 Arlana replied faintly , I know that John and Gwen have been embezzling funds from the company .

Its written very clearly here in the reports .

There has to be more than ten million dollars here .

More than ten million dollars .

Ariana never thought that Gwen and John would daringly siphon so much money from the company funds .

Still , it was a good thing for her , saving her a lot of trouble .

With this much stolen from the company , Gwen and John would be spending the rest of their lives behind bars .

You knew , Ms.

Torrey ? Then why did you … Gwen has been in charge of this company for a while now , and shes very good at manipulating the board of directors and shareholders .

Im just an heiress whos just suddenly ascended into position .

Since I cant promise any benefits for the directors or shareholders , theres no reason for them to take my side .

Even if I wanted to get rid of Gwen and John , I cant do it shly .

What if they conspired to get rid of me ? That would then be the last that youll ever see of me .
