Chapter: 320

He let her ramble on.

The disdain etched on his face was unmistakable.

Under his intense gaze, Rachel felt a wave of humiliation wash over her. Her voice quivered as she responded, “But it was the Reyes family that bullied her. Why should we suffer the consequences?"

Joshua exhaled a cloud of smoke. “The Gray family wields significant money and influence, and Randolph is quite capable. I taught him a small lesson, and you're already struggling to cope?"

Rachel felt her frustration boiling over. "Randolph owes 30@ million dollars and is facing a lawsuit! You call that a small Lesson?"

Joshua's face turned grim. "300 million dollars?"

When he acted, he expected Randolph to lose only a few million.

How did it amount to 300 million?

Upon seeing the look of confusion on his face, Rachel suspected he was acting like he knew nothing.

She wiped her tears, feeling humiliated. Despite her anger, she tried to remain polite. "The damage is done, and we recognize our mistakes. Mr. Yates, please allow me a chance to apologize. Stop this and give us a way out!"

Joshua sensed that something was amiss.

He asked, "The Gray family lost 300 million dollars? How did that happen?"

Rachel didn't understand his question.

Did he find this amusing?

Under his intense gaze, she spoke honestly. “Randolph embezzled money in the past. The evidence was given to the authorities. After fines, it all added up to 300 million dollars."

"Who reported it?"

"Wasn't it you?"

"If I were the one who did it, would I be asking you this now?"

Joshua wasn't foolish. He would never push the Gray family to the edge for a woman.

He simply wanted to teach Randolph a lesson.

In truth, he wasn't even planning to leave any trace behind.

When Rachel arrived at the Yates Mansion today, he was surprised by how quickly he had been exposed.

It seemed that someone had deliberately targeted Randolph and made him take the fall.

Rachel felt completely bewildered. “Are you saying it wasn't you? Who else could it be? Mr. Ward?"

Joshua's eyes narrowed. “What makes you say that?"

Rachel struggled to think clearly.

She didn't know what to say.

Under Joshua's pressure, she finally opened up. “Because lately, Alicia is the only person Randolph has crossed. Aside from you, Mr. Ward is the only one who would defend her."

“What is Caden's relationship with Alicia? Why would he defend her?"

Joshua asked, clearly displeased. “Do you know something?"
