Chapter 55
Rosalynn played both good cop and bad cop, first using Sawyer to intimidate the others. When they were all nervous and afraid of going to jail, she threw them a bone, getting them to actively return the stolen money.
Jacob watched all of these, wishing he could stand up and applaud for Rosalynn.
It didn’t take long for them to recover nearly 30 million stolen money.
Rosalynn looked at everyone, who were too scared to even breathe.
Most of them had returned the money according to the amounts Sawyer had listed.
But… how could Sawyer possibly know the exact situation of each person?
Rosalynn was silent for a while, then looked up and scanned the crowd. “Everyone, did you calculate the amount correctly?”
Clearly, some people panicked, while those who hadn’t lied about their share responded loudly.
Rosalynn played with the pen in her hand, “Make sure you calculate it accurately. If other higher-ups find out there’s still stolen money unaccounted for, it won’t be so easy to deal
with then.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I… I seem to have undercounted seven… more than seven million…” someone said, and
then made another IOU
Afterward, several more people, pale-faced, amended their owed amounts, and the
numbers were not small either.
In the end, the total came to 45 million.
“Secretary Tesdal, what about our jobs…?” Riley quietly asked.
He also owed over a million, and if they lost their jobs….
“Like I’ve said earlier, you were led astray by Sawyer, but I still recognize your abilities,” Rosalynn started to give them some benefits, “So, everything will continue as usual at work. I’ll persuade the president not to fire any of you, but you need to be extra careful from now on. If you make any more mistakes, I won’t be able to help you.”
“Secretary Tesdal, you really are beautiful and kind!” Riley immediately praised her.
Rosalynn gave a faint smile, “We all have our own problems, so just do your best from
now on.”
The meeting ended.
Everyone left with joy on their faces, like they’d survived a disaster.
Some people even cursed Sawyer.
“That bastard! He just dragged us down with him!”
“Right? In my owed amounts, there are even hundreds of thousands he spent. I can’t stand this!”
“If he ever gets out, I’ll definitely kill him!”
Rosalynn sorted everything out, put it in a folder, and handed it to Jacob, who had been shamelessly watching her with his head propped up.
“President Strand, it’s up to you to collect the returned amounts as promised in these IOUS.”
“Are you really going to ask Wayne to intercede on their behalf?” Jacob asked.
Rosalynn put away her computer and pen and paper.
“Of course not. For something like this, President Silverman wouldn’t interfere; he only cares about the results.”
“Right.” Jacob laughed, “So Secretary Tesdal was using both the carrot and the stick just now? Are you really letting them off so easily?”
“What else can I do? The project is in a critical stage, and due to these people, we’ve already delayed the construction by a month. If I fire them and find new people, how much longer will it take?”
Time is money, especially on a construction site.
“But we can’t let them continue to handle the core work of the project. President Strand needs to send people to take over as soon as possible.”
“Also, I suggest that President Strand verifies and keeps records of everything Sawyer mentioned. If any of them cause trouble again, send the police straight to arrest them.”
She never said she was going to let them off the hook completely.
