Chapter 74 Winnie is Caught
The London project is of great importance, with all top executives involved. The CEO of Imperial Jewelry, a workaholic, is leading the charge.
The executives immediately responded, "The CEO of Imperial Jewelry, Darcy, mentioned that her flight was delayed. She is deeply sorry."
The man's face turned cold. "Make sure she arrives as soon as possible!"
At this moment, in Lymington, the Anderson family.
Sophia and her daughter stood anxiously in front of the couch, and the seated woman took out a 28-carat diamond ring, her lips curling as she glanced at it before handing it to Ava.
"Darcy, what's this?"
Darcy stood up, her almond-shaped eyes displaying a hint of chilliness in the night.
She smiled and said, "The old Harrington from the Harrington family is celebrating her 80th birthday next year. I heard that Mr. Harrington specifically bought a large diamond ring from the Eternity Jewelry Co., Ltd. counter to please his wife. You will replace this 'diamond ring' with her. Aren't you still angry about Winnie taking back your position as the general manager?"
Ava pondered for a moment, and her eyes immediately lit up. She understood what this diamond ring meant.
She couldn't help but look at Darcy in shock.
She didn't expect Darcy to be aware of everything happening within Triton, even the secret purchase of low-quality raw stones to make jewelry for the market.
She had only been in front of them for two days, but Ava felt as if Darcy had been preparing for a long time, knowing everything about Winnie.
This astonishing and terrifying ability made Ava truly afraid from the bottom of her heart.
She was almost certain that Darcy held a personal grudge against Winnie.
Excited, Ava trembled all over and immediately went to take action.
Tomorrow promises to be an exciting day!
The next afternoon, Winnie went to the Triton Company to investigate the diamond materials.
She ordered someone to bring Ava, the mastermind behind this, to her.
However, Ava was nowhere to be found.
Winnie had the manager in charge of the materials take her to the company's warehouse, ready to cut a batch of diamonds on-site to examine their authenticity.
As soon as she entered the warehouse, without taking more than a few steps and before turning on the lights, the door suddenly closed.
Winnie furrowed her brows, her bright eyes widening as she immediately sensed that something was wrong. However, she couldn't open the door no matter how hard she tried.
After about half an hour of deadlock, the door suddenly creaked open from the outside.
Winnie had just raised her eyes when a group of police officers rushed in and, upon seeing her, noticed her standing in front of the diamond material cabinet.
They immediately handcuffed her wrists and one of them said, "You must be Winnie. Take her away!"
"What's going on, officers?" Winnie was puzzled, but a bad premonition surged within her.
The police officer looked at her coldly and said, "Madam Harrington's 80th birthday, the 28-carat 'True Love of Noble Ladies' worldwide limited-edition diamond purchased by her husband at your company's counter, has been found to be a fake stone! The quality supervision department has discovered that over half of the jewelry at Triton's counter is counterfeit. As the Triton general manager and designer, you have committed a serious crime under commercial law by purchasing counterfeit raw stones. Come with us to the police station!"
"What?" Winnie couldn't believe it.
Daniel, who had rushed over after hearing the news, turned pale and furrowed his brows as he said to Winnie, "Madam Harrington's large diamond was obtained from Triton's counter. We need to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Bought it, and the counterfeit goods were discovered during the banquet at noon.
This matter shook Lymington, and Madam Harrington had a heart attack on the spot. The Harrington family was furious.
Two hours ago, the quality inspection personnel from the Ministry of Commerce suddenly found a large batch of counterfeit goods at our counter.
The news has already been released, Winnie... "
"That was Ava's purchase of inferior raw materials." Winnie's eyes flashed, immediately guessing that this was Ava's attempt to frame her.
She defended herself, "Officer, I left Triton two months ago. I designed the high-end jewelry series, but I wasn't responsible for production. It was Ava who was in charge of the raw material production. I hope you investigate this thoroughly!"
The policeman seemed to have anticipated her defense.
"Winnie, you don't need to be cunning anymore. Ava has provided evidence that you conspired with the supplier of inferior gemstones to receive kickbacks totaling millions. And this manager from your company also said that you entered the warehouse just now to destroy the evidence. Come with us quickly!"
Winnie turned to look at the materials manager.
The manager's face was flickering.
Winnie's eyes turned cold, her face pale. When it involves the Harrington family, one of the four great noble families, it is definitely not a small matter.
Feeling a bit panicked, she immediately called L on her phone.
He always said that she can reach out to him for anything, and at this moment, regardless of whether he can help or not, he was the first person she thought of!
London
Darcy, dressed in professional attire, walked into the company office and asked, "Where is the CEO of Imperial Jewelry?"
There was no one in the office.
The assistant said solemnly, "The Hai Bay project was hit by a typhoon and encountered some problems. The CEO of Imperial Jewelry just rushed over there."
Just then, L's personal cellphone on the desk started ringing. Darcy squinted her almond-shaped eyes when she saw it was Winnie calling.
The assistant picked up the phone and was about to deliver it to the CEO of Imperial Jewelry.
However, Darcy stated, "Give it to me. I'll take it to the CEO of Imperial Jewelry on my way."
"But this is the CEO's personal phone, Darcy..."
"You know I'm the vice president. I happen to be going to the project site. Is there something you're not confident about?" Darcy smiled gently.
The assistant was at a loss for words. Darcy was the vice president of Imperial, which not only sold jewelry but also had numerous subsidiaries.
Her status was extraordinary, and she was a debutante who called Imperial Jewelry's CEO Mr. L.
In the end, the assistant handed her the phone.
Darcy picked it up and walked away. It took ten minutes to get from the office to the project site, and she deliberately slowed her pace.
Winnie made two desperate phone calls, and Darcy watched the phone ring without answering or hanging up. Eventually, it disconnected automatically.
A deep smirk appeared at the corner of Darcy's lips.
Frowning, Winnie couldn't understand why L wasn't answering her call. She was really worried and could only think that maybe he was busy.
She immediately called Olivia, but before she could say anything, the police confiscated her phone.
They took her to a police car, and as Daniel caught up with them, Winnie squinted and whispered to him, "The Harrington family is furious. Can you contact Olivia to ask for help? Also, find her immediately. I have something at her place that she needs to bring to the police station. It will help clear my name."
Daniel furrowed his brow and nodded heavily.
He had no idea about Ava's involvement in buying low-quality gemstones, let alone the fact that fake diamonds had entered the market and were bought by Madam Harrington's husband, a large diamond ring!
Fuck!
It suddenly hit Daniel, realizing that Ava had prepared evidence against Winnie... He immediately called Ava.
However, Ava intentionally played hide-and-seek and didn't answer the phone.
Inside the police station.
Winnie was led into an interrogation room, the bright overhead light glaring down on her pale face, making her look bloodless.
Her mind buzzed as she quickly organized the events in her head. There was no doubt that Ava had set her up as a scapegoat.
With a clap, an interrogator placed a stack of documents in front of her and sternly said, "Mr. Swift, your fake diamond supplier for embezzled kickbacks, has confessed. He said that you not only supplied Triton with low-quality gemstones and embezzled over twenty million dollars, but you also recommended him to other jewelry companies, creating malicious competition. You made over sixty million dollars in profit from this collaboration. Is this true?"
