Chapter 428 Framing Him
Clarissa was slightly stunned.
Lauren continued, "Clarissa, you are a mother to two children. Don't be too hard on yourself. After all, he has the Ethanbez Family backing him, so F Country is considered as his turf.
"Even if it is for my sake, he will help you. Don't let it stop you from asking him for help because of what happened in the past."
Clarissa felt warm listening to her kind words.
Her fingers which were holding on to her phone tightened a little. Then, she nodded her head solemnly.
"Well, I know. Don't worry."
Only then did Lauren was relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Clarissa remembered that Anderson said that he wanted to eat Chinese food in the morning.
They were already sick of the hospital food after having it for the past few days. She thought about it and saw that it was still early, so she was about to go out to buy something.
At first, David wanted to ask her to rest and he would go on her behalf, but Clarissa thought that he was too busy to go as he had got a lot on his plate, so she didn't want to bother him with such a trivial matter.
Moreover, the place was not far. It was only a dozen minutes' journey.
Seeing this, David didn't insist.
Fortunately, they had already notified Nora. Nora would probably arrive in the afternoon and she would be able to take care of Clarissa by then. By that time, there was no need for David to worry about these things anymore.
Clarissa left the hospital and raised her hand to hail a cab.
As soon as she got in the car, she gave the driver the address.
However, a few minutes after sitting in the car, he suddenly felt that something was off.
A pungent smell came to her nose. Clarissa was stunned. Just when she was about to react, she started to lose her consciousness.
It didn't take long for her to pass out.
On the other side.
At the headquarters of the Ethanbez Group.
Jameson arrived in the morning.
Instead of returning to the Ethanbez Family, he went straight to the company.
At this time, in the conference room.
It was already 12 o'clock at noon, but all the senior management of the company were still working. It was rare for the board of directors to gather together here today. Even Elicia, who rarely appeared, was also present. She sat on the chairman seat with a cold expression on her face.
In the middle of the table, there was a mobile phone. The phone had the loudspeaker on, and the sound of a man's roaring could be heard clearly.
"No matter how stupid I am, I won't be so stupid as to take a billion dollars along with me to fall into someone else's trap! Who do you think I am? A good-for-nothing? A fool?
Those money were gambled away by Issac himself. If you want to find it, go and find Issac!"
"If he doesn't return the money, then send him to jail! Oh, by the way, he has three mistresses outside. You can't find the money, right?
Go to them to look for it. He has at least spent tens of millions of dollars on them each year. You might get one billion from three of them!"
Reiner's angry voices made all the board of directors in the conference room look at each other in dismay. And Lia, who was seated on the left at the end, already looked pale.
Originally, Reiner was a distant relative of the Ethanbez Family. Because his parents died early, he had been raised by Elicia. Thus, he was regarded as part of the immediate family.
However, he was infamous for being a playboy and was not very reliable, so Lia tried to push the blame of losing the one billion dollars to him.
Much to everyone's surprise, Jameson came up with this idea to confront him face to face.
As Lia thought about this, her expression turned even more gloomy.
"Ha!" Jameson sneered. In the whole office, he was the only one who sounded except for Reiner.
Apart from them, the room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"So, did his uncle really take the money?"
"Uncle? That's b*llshit! What kind of uncle would frame his own nephew? Does he think I can do whatever I want just because I'm one of the Ethanbez family?"
"This is our d*amn money! It's not his! He used it on gambling and to find mistresses and then pinned the blame on me! Who does he think he is?"
Jameson curled his lips up coldly and made no response.
"Jameson, I was wrong. What I did in the past was just me acting impulsively. I know that you have already forgiven me. Otherwise, you would not have let me hold such a good position.
You can rest assured that I will do a good job here. Once I am able to make some achievements, I'm sure that you will all see me in a different light."
Jameson nodded. Right now, he appeared to be a loving brother.
"Okay, that's it. I have something else to do. I'm hanging up."
"Well, Jameson. I'm glad that you believe my words. Go ahead with your own business. Bye-bye."
Jameson hung up the phone.
Turning around, he coldly looked at Lia the opposite side.
Elicia's face turned completely cold at this time. She said in a low voice, radiating an overbearing aura, "Lia, what's going on?"
Lia's face turned pale as she said in a trembling voice, "I... I don't know."
After all, Issac was her husband. It was impossible for her not to know about it.
But of course, she wouldn't admit it in front of so many board members.
Otherwise, even if Elicia wanted to cover it up for her, she would not be able to do so.
However—
"How could you not know what kind of sh*t you husband has done!"
All of a sudden, Elicia was enraged. She slammed her palm on the table. She was so angry that the muscles on her face started to tremble.
Jameson slightly raised his eyebrows.
The directors at the meeting all came forward to comfort her with a hint of gloating tone in their words.
The Ethanbez family had been flourishing for so many years. They were more than happy to see the members of the Ethanbez family fighting against each other.
They couldn't wait to see them making a great scene out of it. They could only stand a chance if the Ethanbez family were to fall apart.
"Do you think that I don't know how many little tricks has Issac pulled behind my back all these years? But I usually turn a blind eye to it because he's Yasmin's father and so as not to embarrass you. Look what happened now!"
"One billion dollars! He, Issac, took it as he wished. Okay! Even if I could let that slide, you shouldn't have tried to pin the blame on Reiner!
Reiner is the descendent of our family, and in the future, he would be Jameson's right-hand man! If you do this, you're dragging his name through the mud! How will he be able to manage the company in the future? How will he be able to convince everyone?"
Lia's face was getting paler. Indeed, she really didn't think so much before.
Lia grew up without a father. She was raised by her mother and her brother. So she was used to doing things according to her whims and fancies.
She married Issac because she liked him. Even if her mother did not agree, she had no choice but to let Lia do whatever she wanted.
When Issac said to let Reiner take the blame, she didn't agree initially, but then she couldn't resist his constant begging.
She thought to herself that although Reiner was part of the Ethanbez Family, he had never been very close to herself.
After all, he was the descendant of the Ethanbez family and raised by Elicia, so he might have a slice of the cake in the Group in the future. So what was wrong with him to use some of his family's money?
Even if he was caught red-handed, Reiner would probably just be chided by Elicia and everything would be left behind. But Lia had never thought that things would turn out this way.
