Chapter 99
Meanwhile in Swallowston, at the Paraiso Group.
Seven years ago, Paralso was the biggest enterprise and ranked first all throughout Swallowston. It
was on par with the Cowell Group at the time and bothpanies were extremely influential.
But after Henry’s passing, Harold forcefully took control of Paraiso. Ever since then, thepany had
suffered a disastrous decline.
Thepany went from being the first–rankedpany in Swallowston to a small, unpopr
company.
Meanwhile, at Paraiso, in the general manager’s office, Cedric, who had on a suit, was going through
the ounts while another young man sat next to him.
The young man was named Jacob and he was Wilfred’s son.
Cedric and Jacob were cousins and they were the highest management personnel of Paraiso at the
current moment.
Harold held seventy percent of Paraiso’s shares while the other thirty percent was equally divided
between his two sons and two grandchildren. Cedric and Jacob were given the posts of general
managers and were in charge of thepany’s
operations.
In the office, the door suddenly burst open and a woman walked into the room.
She was in business attire and wore a pair of high, strappy heels. She was beautiful with delicate facial
features. Her figure was perfect and she stood close to one point seven meters in height.
She carried a folder in her arms.
She ced it on the table as soon as she walked into the room. “Cedric, Jacob, this is thepany’s
ounts for this month. There’s a seventy thousand dor imbnce in the ount. Care to exin
how this happened?”
The woman stared at Cedric and Jacob. Her name was Riley Xander. She was Cedric’s elder sister
and Leonard’s daughter. She had graduated from Southrive University and held the position of director
of Paraiso,
There were constant imbnces in Paraiso’s ounting books as ofte. In the beginning, she
ignored the issue because Cedric and Jacob imed very little kickback
But in theirtest stint, they had collectively taken seventy thousand dors. If this were to continue,
Paraiso would go bankrupt just from their kickback im before thepany could be scrutinized by
the outside world.
“Riley, what are you doing?” Cedric raised his head and asked after ncing at the folder she had
ced on the table.
Riley inhaled deeply and said, “Thepany’s stocks are currently shaky with pressureing from
multiple sides. Paraiso is in the midst of a crisis, yet both of you are stillmitting fraud?”
“There’s a kickback of seventy thousand dors this month. Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far?”
Riley asked.
Riley was determined to grow Paralso. Yet, Harold enforced patriarchal rules when he passed the
company to Cedric and Jacob, which resulted in thepany’s current situation.
Cedric and Jacob were not only impertinent, but they were alsomitting bigger and bigger frauds.
Riley was infuriated by this.
Cedric stood up and said after hearing Riley’s remark, “Hey, have you forgotten that you’re my
biological sister? Of course, I’ll take care of you when I’m rich.”
“That’s right, Riley. Cedric and I are iming only a few thousand dors from such argepany.
It’s nothing serious,” said Jacob.
Riley inhaled a deep breath and said, “Cedric, Jacob, both of you are family. I don’t want to expose
you, but there are less than seven hundred thousand dors left in thepany’s ount now. The
company is about to fall to afford its employees‘
wages.
“Why are you still trying to get a kickback when you’re supposed to figure out a way to save the
company?”
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Cedric burst outughing upon hearing Riley’s remark “Don’t worry about it, Riley. Paraiso won’t go
bankrupt when it’s such a hugepany.
“It won’t take long before someone invests in us. By then, we’ll receive arge sum of money in the
company’s ount.” Cedric behaved as if he was very confident in himself.
