Chapter: 1331
“Rachel, by any chance, are you okay?" She was just too calm, as if she had heard something irrelevant that wasn't worth her time, which was completely different from what Roger had expected. He was a little worried.
“Hmm? I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"
"If you have something to say, you can say it. If maybe you are worried that the Bennet Group will be involved in this matter, or... if you want to know how Victor is doing, I can help you ask about it. Maybe the result will not be as bad."
"Why?" Rachel looked up from the file she was reading to his eyes.
"What?" Roger was confused. He wasn't sure what Rachel was referring to.
"Why do you think I want to know about what Victor is doing?"
"I'm just worried about you."
"There are no ties that connect me with him. So whether he goes bankrupt or goes to jail does not concern me in the least. I'm not worried about the investigation team. As you said, they came to our company just to find more evidence that Victor might have committed embezzlement and power mismanagement. Whether they find it or not has nothing to do with the Bennet Group."
Rachel picked up the glass beside her and took a sip of water. As she placed the glass down, she stared at the water blankly for a few seconds. With her back to Roger, he didn't notice the unusual change in her expression.
"There is only one thing I am worried about right now." She looked away from the glass.
"We may have to postpone our departure from
Apliaria. The investigation team hasn't gotten any result. As long as they stay in the Bennet Group, I should still be their main focus."
If she left at a time like that, Rachel was afraid that it would only cause her trouble.
“They won't stay long. We'll just leave as soon as they are gone.”
Roger tried to comfort her.
“I guess there's no other way around it."
The news that the investigation team had gone to the Bennet Group spread quickly.
Apliaria had already been bombarded by pieces of shocking news one after another, but now the storm seemed to be growing even larger.
In order to let the investigation team complete the work in a quiet environment, Rachel only let some necessary people remain to maintain the basic daily operation within the company, and the rest of the staff were all given three days off.
In half a day, the Bennet Group building was almost empty.
That night, near the early morning hours, only the meeting room on the thirteen floor was still Lit up.

Davis closed a folder in his hands. His action was not forceful, but the sound was particularly harsh in that quiet meeting room where even a pin dropping could be heard.
The other people, who were originally staring at their computer screens, feeling sleepy, were shocked by this sound.
Kent also put down his pen, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyelids to relieve the pain that came from straining them. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Davis stand up and leave the room.
