Chapter 1152: Chapter 603: Extra Story: No More Love for Him 1
Wallace said, "I started by investigating Coco’s family, and I found that her family background is quite affluent, not lacking money. So, I looked into Coco’s friends and accidentally discovered that Coco’s boyfriend is someone with substantial connections."
Alice Robinson lifted her gaze, "Who?"
Wallace said, "Coco’s boyfriend is Edward, the Executive Director of the Design Department of the New York ’QCS’ Group."
A month ago, a barely noticeable financial loophole appeared in "Tench’s" financial report. After Alice discovered it, she ordered the finance manager Wallace to investigate. As a result, it was found that Coco, the director of the finance department, was suspected of falsifying accounts for personal gain, so Alice had Wallace investigate the matter.
"I found that all the money Coco embezzled over the past two months was transferred into Edward’s account. Edward is ’QCS’s most famous architectural designer, with an impeccable image, and has been repeatedly recognized as one of the world’s outstanding designers."
Alice paused for a moment, then asked, "Did Coco admit to her relationship with Edward?"
Wallace nodded, "Coco said she was blinded by love, manipulated by Edward to help him get the money. However, Edward publicly denied his relationship with Coco after Coco got into trouble and firmly claimed he never took a penny from her."
Alice furrowed her brows, deep in thought.
Wallace said, "Miss Robinson, Coco lost the company a significant amount of money. If we don’t recover it from Edward, the company’s IPO might face financial problems. But Edward is part of ’QCS,’ and as everyone knows, ’QCS’ is a world-renowned design and architecture firm with a market value reaching $8.6 billion in recent years, on par with the renowned Geoffrey Group in New York. If we sue Edward, I’m afraid it will become a big issue affecting ’QCS’s reputation, putting us in opposition to ’QCS.’"
Secretary Andie, hearing Wallace’s analysis, nodded like a pecking bird, "Yes, yes, Miss Robinson, we cannot go against ’QCS’... In ’QCS’s eyes, we are just a small company, if we challenge such a giant, it would surely be like hitting a rock with an egg."
Alice remained silent. Several seconds later, she calmly looked at Wallace, saying, "Edward is obviously counting on us not daring to offend ’QCS,’ which is why he publicly announced he has no relationship with Coco, assuming we will take this loss quietly. However, as the highest decision-maker at ’Tench,’ I will not allow ’Tench’s’ interests to be harmed, nor will I let our IPO plans be obstructed. Therefore, we must make Edward return the money."
Wallace nodded in agreement, "We have Coco as a witness and the bank transfer records. As long as we sue Edward in court, Edward will be forced to return the money."
Andie nodded along.
Alice said, "Wallace, take care of this matter."
"Yes."
New York, "QCS" Group Headquarters.
The sliding door of the president’s office opened, and Alec, with his head down, approached the figure by the floor-to-ceiling window, "President."
A deep, calm voice came, "Is it handled?"
Alec’s voice trembled slightly, "I’m sorry, President, it’s still in process."
"Can’t handle such a minor issue?"
Alec lowered his head further, meekly explaining, "President, my team has already pressured the other party, but they insist on suing Edward. I’m still working on it."
Turning around, Chester Robinson looked at Edward faintly, "What company has such stubbornness?"
Alec raised his head slightly, respectfully replying, "The company is called ’Tench,’ a French company about to go public. The highest person in charge is called Eliza, her Chinese name is Alice Robinson. I have already sent my men to France to talk to Alice twice, but both attempts were unsuccessful. Alice insists on suing Edward."
At this moment, Chester’s gaze became profound, growing deeper.
Alec hesitantly said, "Today, ’Tench’ has already sent a lawyer’s letter to Edward."
Chester walked towards the desk, sat down on the chair, his eyes radiating a dangerous depth.
Alec dared not step forward, only standing aside with his head down.
Chester remained silent for several seconds before speaking, "Where is Edward now?"
Alec quickly answered, "He is staying in the hotel I arranged for him, with no chance to escape."
Chester coldly instructed, "Make sure Edward prepares the design draft in the hotel and contacts the German architect."
