Chapter 127 Trouble at the Mitchell Group
Susie, that fool, actually had the finance department cook the books, which the audit bureau discovered. Not only did they have to make up all the taxes now, but they also faced criminal charges. As of the time of this report, Susie and Seraphina were already under investigation. If the situation was serious, they might end up in jail.
Damn it! Could they go a single day without causing trouble?
Brooklyn clenched the newspaper tightly, her face covered with a layer of frost. The company's fraudulent accounting not only implicated the individuals involved but also severely damaged the company's reputation. The chain reaction was extremely frightening.
Brooklyn secretly glanced at Sebastian, who was eating without any reaction. He had known about this for a while, having learned about it during yesterday's phone call.
Putting down the newspaper, Brooklyn decided to be direct. "The Mitchell Group is in trouble. Do you have anything to say about it?"
Brooklyn waited anxiously for his response.
Sebastian was an expert in management and finance, and his words were usually final. She clenched her fingers into a fist, nervously watching him.
Sebastian leisurely sipped his soup, remaining calm and indifferent. "Given the amount involved in Mitchell Group's fraudulent accounting, Susie and Seraphina will likely be jailed for three months. During the investigation, the Mitchell Group cannot make any financial moves, which means the company will be shut down."
So serious!
"Is there any way to help the Mitchell Group?" Brooklyn asked, her eyes burned as she looked at Sebastian, wishing she could reach across the table, grab his arm, and shake him.
Sebastian put down his utensils and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "In cases involving such fundamental errors, there's generally no way out except to face legal consequences."
"What about you? Do you have a way?" Brooklyn leaned closer, desperate. She cared deeply about the Mitchell Group!
Sebastian prepared to leave the table. "Am I just anyone? But I've said before, I won't intervene in any issues Mitchell Group faces."
Brooklyn stood up with him, walking around the table to block his path. "Sebastian, this time, you must help the Mitchell Group. Only you can."
Brooklyn grabbed his sleeve, looking up into his eyes. "Sebastian, since you have a way, please help the Mitchell Group!"
Sebastian glanced at her hand and then said coolly, "Is this how you ask for help, Brooklyn?"
Damn it! She was indeed begging him now, and it felt terrible!
Brooklyn released his sleeve and smiled. "It seems you're not planning to help. If you won't, I'll find another way."
Sebastian's brows furrowed deeply, his anger intensifying. Foolish woman, couldn't she sincerely ask for his help just once?
She clearly needed his assistance but maintained a haughty attitude, which would only make her pay a higher price. She deserved it!
"The Mitchell Group has already alarmed Aucester's business and judicial departments. Brooklyn, with your status and connections as a doctor, you can't handle this. The only person who can help Mitchell Group through this crisis is me."
Sebastian finished speaking and walked past her to the living room. A servant handed him his coat, and he swiftly put on the black tailored suit, turning to Brooklyn. "I'll give you until noon to think about what you can offer me in return."
With that, he walked out of the villa with an air of authority.
Brooklyn's chest heaved with anger. She thought, 'Sebastian, do you really think you're the ruler of Aucester? I refuse to believe I can't find another way!'
At that moment, Brooklyn's phone rang.
As expected, it was Susie calling.
She snorted softly. Susie only came to her when she couldn't handle the mess she'd made!
"Speak, what's the problem this time?" Brooklyn sat on the living room sofa, imagining Susie's face twisted with frustration, yet forced to ask for her help.
"Mitchell Group is in trouble. You're also a member of the Mitchell family. At times like this, you must take action to save it," Susie said.
"Susie, you made this mess, and now you're asking for my help with that tone? You've got some nerve!" Brooklyn retorted.
At that moment, Susie and Seraphina were sitting in the police station's waiting room, hoping for someone to come to their rescue. Seraphina gestured to Susie to calm down and appease Brooklyn.
"Brooklyn, don't say that. No matter what, we're all part of the Mitchell family. Now that Mitchell Group is in trouble, everyone should do their part. Besides, for Sebastian, this isn't a big deal. If you ask him for help, he'll definitely do it," Susie coaxed.
Seraphina, growing anxious, grabbed the phone. "Brooklyn, if Mitchell Group undergoes a formal investigation, it won't be able to operate normally for half a month. Most of its clients will leave, and the company will face bankruptcy. All your parents' hard work will go down the drain! Make a decision quickly. If no third party intervenes by noon today, Mitchell Group is finished!"
Seraphina added, "Brooklyn if you truly care about your father's legacy and consider yourself part of the Mitchell family, seek Sebastian's help immediately!"
