###Chapter 100 Leaving Astley Group

###Chapter 100 Leaving Astley Group

For a moment, while a bunch of people were crowding the Astley Group's building, I sneaked inside.

There were not many people in the building. Only a few people in charge of management and the others are investigated by the Trade and Industry Bureau were inside.

In the conference hall, I found Kian negotiating with the people from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

When he saw me, he raised his eyebrows. "How did you get in here?"

"I walked in!"

Sitting next to him, people from the Trade and Industry Bureau handed him a number of documents and materials. They said, "Astley Group's situation and problems will probably ease down by tomorrow. According to the current investigation, except for the audit for Samson Electronics, there were basically no problems."

Kian nodded cautiously. "I do hope it finally ends!"

As soon as the investigators left, he read the information on papers and looked as if his panic and anxiety have calmed down.

I took the documents from his hand to catch his attention. I said, "Sir Kian, let's talk!"

He raised his eyes and curled his eyebrows. He asked me. "What should we talk about?"

Seeing the light look on his face, I held my breath and suppressed my anger and said, "I just accepted Astley Group's and Samson Electronics' audit for only two months and something terrible happened. Do you all think I'm stupid?"

"What are you saying?" He sneered at what I said. "You don't think I planned all of this, do you?"

"Isn't it?" Looking at him coldly, I said, "You have been in charge of Astley Group's audit before, especially Kian's. Now that it is Kian who is in charge of AC, he is also responsible for the audit. Do you think it has nothing to do with you? The case with Samson Electronics' was so obvious. Do you need me to say it?"

"Oh!" He leaned back in his chair and squinted at me. "It's right that I was in charge of the audit, but there was nothing wrong with the audit a few years ago. The problem happened right after you were in charge. Didn't you get confused when you were reading the documents and reports? You signed all the results of the report, right? Is this something I can even interfere with?"

After a pause, he adjusted his sitting position, looked at me and continued, "In essence, the matter of Samson Electronics' was found out by you. The factory in the southern district was unqualified, and it was clear that I replaced it with other matters so that it could be cleared out. But after the company went public, it was impossible to just declare the factory unqualified, which would affect the stock market, so it was suppressed. However, you were very good, and you turned it out directly."

I froze, a little shocked by what he said. "So you knew all of this in the first place, and you didn't tell me?"

He laughed and said, "Miss Ivelle, you've been working for so many years, don't you understand the rules of the industry? Don't you know how old is Astley Group? Don't you know the loopholes in any big company? As long as these loopholes do not affect the development of the company and do not involve other problems, these problems can be ignored. Moreover, the accidents at the factory in the southern district have been dealt with, but they have not been reported. Otherwise, do you think that the families of the four families will not bother the Astley Group so easily? "

"Then why would someone commit suicide? When I was taken away by someone for the investigation, I obviously heard the interrogator say that some of his family members have committed suicide."

He sneered and looked at me as if he were an idiot. "It's true that these happened, but it's all stupid. It's been more than half a year before people have been committing suicide. Do you think these people are the way they are because of what happened in the Southern District?"

I didn't know what to say for a while, because I was the most confused one in the whole issue. The reason why Kian was cautious and was not urgent, because this matter is the same as Parker said. It was just a big reshuffle.

And I was the one who was washed out in the end!

In Astley Group's audit, I was the one who signed the document. Samson Electronics' was in my name. Both things were related to me and were directly signed under my name.

Even if something happened in the end, the company only needed to kick me out publicly, and Astley Group could still operate normally.

"Oh!" I couldn't help laughing with a sarcastic tone. "Sir Kian, you made a good move. I admire you!"

He kicked me out of the company fair and square, and there was hardly a flaw in it.

He looked at me with deep eyes, noticed my bulging belly and said, "You don't have to do this. Even if you leave Astley Group, the company's shares in your name are still yours. You just don't stay in the Astley Group. Besides, you're going to have a baby now, and you're going to have to leave to be a hands-on mother."

That's a good thing! I'm finally leaving!

I laughed. "They all left. If they were kicked out, would they be the same as their own?"

Looking at him, I suppressed the gloom on my face and said, "Does Jordan know about this?"

He looked at me, was silent for a long time, and nodded.

Just for a moment, my heart seemed to be punched by a pair of big fists, and the pain was so painful that I could not breathe. Fortunately, I thought Andrew had done it before. He had hurt me a lot of times before that this wasn't new anymore.

Still, that was ridiculous!

There was no coincidence of timing, and everyone knew it tacitly.

Indeed, what happened next was the same as what Kian cautiously said.

As the next day came, a new set of challenges faced me.

According to the report of the investigators, there was something wrong with the Astley Group's audit due to the influence of Samson's Electronics. Apparently, the report that appeared in the International Weekly was not true.

Therefore, it was necessary to conduct a new general audit, including the Astley Group, who was in charge of credit, and Kian, who was in charge of AC, as well as some fines for commercial fraud. Fortunately, people in the bureau believe that Astley Group almost monopolizes the economic lifeline of Hempstead, not publicly, but in private.

As for Samson Electronics', since I am the direct manager, I bore the fines and penalties, and indirectly I also affected Jordan.

Fortunately, things were settled naturally, and the Astley Group, who had been paralyzed for more than half a week, began to operate normally.

And like Kian's cautious prediction, I was publicly removed from the company and no longer employed.

Not to say that I was surprised by this action since I have a lot of peace of mind and I've always known the direction of their scheme in advance. But still, I was not reconciled to it.

As soon as this incident was over, I didn't go back to the villa immediately. I just stayed in the Victory apartment. I didn't have to go to the Astley Group, because I didn't have to go to work anymore.

After tossing about for a few days, my belly started becoming a little bigger.

I no longer inquired about what happened with Jordan, so I just stayed in the apartment and took good care of the baby inside me.

On weekends, Maisie was idle and bored, pestering me to accompany her to Greenville for a few days. I was already rotting inside the house, so I agreed to go with her when I had time.

Hempstead was very close to Greenville. It was only an hour's drive from Hempstead to Greenville. When I got on the high-speed train, Maisie looked at the scenery outside the window and was a little excited, holding my hand. "I have made a down payment on a house in Greenville. Once I finished it, you will accompany me to stay with me for a few days, right? Add some life to my new house?"

"When? Why didn't I hear you say this to me before?" I have a lot of things these days, so I basically didn't notice her when she asked me this. Now that she mentioned it, I have to make sure that she's serious.

As she played with her phone, she said, "Before long, I was going to tell you in advance, but something happened to you, so I didn't mention it to you for the time being. But now you're always in trouble, so I'll just say it right away."

Yeah, she was right.
