Chapter 92 When Was $6 Million Given?
Upon hearing this, Karen, who was sitting next to Sarah, changed her expression.
She quickly said, "The bet agreement has nothing to do with Sarah. It should be the responsibility of that useless person!"
Abigail sneered, "You're wrong! After all, Sarah also signed the bet agreement! Why shouldn't she bear the responsibility? And don't forget, if your bid fails this time, Sarah will have to work for the Johnson family for free. Whatever we say, she has to do it! It's the same!"
"You..." Karen couldn't find words to refute. She could only vent her anger on Ryder.
She muttered in a low voice, complaining, "It's all because of Ryder, that incompetent fool! Our family is really unlucky."
Seeing this, the representatives from the Windsor Group and other building materials suppliers didn't hesitate to mock and ridicule them.
At this moment, Grandpa Johnson raised an eyebrow, cleared his throat and said to Sarah, "Before the meeting starts, I need to ask you something. You promised me you would return all the investments the Johnson family made in your subsidiary company over the years with interest, totaling $6 million. The deadline was 3 days. Shouldn't this money be returned to me now?"
Sarah was taken aback. "What! Have you not received the 6 million dollars?"
Grandpa Johnson's face darkened. "You dare speak nonsense in front of so many people! When did you give it to me?"
"I'm not lying! On the night of the gambling agreement, Andy and Abigail came to ask for money. Ryder gave 6 million dollars to them!"
Karen and Ernest nodded in agreement, confirming the occurrence of such an event.
Grandpa Johnson turned his head to Andy and Abigail. "Is this true?"
The two glanced at each other. They had already planned for this and had prepared countermeasures.
Andy intentionally put on an angry face and stared at Sarah. "Don't lie! When did you give us the money? And the claim that Ryder paid 6 million dollars to us is laughable. With Ryder being such trash, who would believe it?"
Upon hearing this, most of the people present shook their heads.
They were unable to believe that Ryder could produce 6 million dollars!
However, Elena and Henry heard it and believed it to be true!
6 million dollars?!
Isn't this the money Ryder extorted from them?
Of course, they wouldn't dare say such embarrassing things!
Abigail chimed in, "Sarah, we knew you were audacious, but we didn't expect you to deceive Grandpa! If we let you act like that, in the end, it seems like we'll have to say that Grandpa owes you 6 million dollars, right?"
"I..." Sarah was shocked by Andy and Abigail's shameless denial.
Not only that, they shifted this baseless blame onto her!
This behavior was truly despicable!
She realized she had made a mistake. That night, she was too angry. She didn't ask them to leave a receipt for the payment.
What should she do now?
Suddenly, a bright idea flashed in her mind.
She continued to explain to Grandpa Johnson, "Grandpa, we have surveillance cameras in our neighborhood. As long as we review the footage from that night, we can see that they both came to our house and left with a black bag each. Inside the bag was the cash! We can also investigate their recent bank account deposits. I'm sure we'll find a large amount of unknown income!"
The expressions of Andy and Abigail changed.
But they would never admit to this, of course!
Andy nervously explained, "Those... those two bags were trash we found in the stairwell. We thought of doing a good deed by throwing them out! As for the recent cash deposits in the bank account, I borrowed it from a friend. Yes, it was borrowed from a friend, and I'm putting it away. Isn't that possible?"
Sarah furrowed her brow and questioned, "If it was just trash, then why did you bring the black bags into the car instead of throwing them away? Also, you said your friend lent you the money. Now a days, online transfers are so convenient. Why bother taking it out and putting it back in again?"
"Well..." Andy's forehead broke out in nervous sweat!
He made a mistake!
Sarah was much harder to deal with than expected!
Seeing this, Sarah pressed her advantage and said, "Andy, if you can't answer, it proves you have something to hide! It's you two who embezzled the $6 million!"
Andy and Abigail opened their mouths.
They couldn't utter a word for a long time!
They really didn't have a suitable reason to explain!
Seeing this, the people present finally understood that Sarah did give $6 million and it was embezzled by Andy and Abigail!
These siblings have a lot of nerve!
However, at this moment, Grandpa Johnson snorted and said, "Sarah, I don't care how this $6 million came about. If you haven't handed over the $6 million to me, it doesn't count as repaying the debt!"
Sarah's face turned pale.
"Grandpa? Why..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Grandpa Johnson interrupted coldly, "That's my rule! And I also believe in Andy and Abigail's character. I trust that they borrowed the money and disposed of the trash. Unless you can provide the most direct evidence that you gave them the money, you must produce the $6 million!"
Upon hearing this, the Ernest family felt a chill in their hearts!
They thought they could escape without spending a penny, but now they have to come up with $6 million again!
How will they do? It's impossible!
Sarah was angrier, her eyes red and lips trembling.
Despite Grandpa Johnson's old age, he's actually quite cunning.
How could he not know that Andy and Abigail had really taken the $6 million?
But he still pretended not to know and spoke up for them!
This was unfair!
At this moment, Andy and Abigail breathed a sigh of relief.
With Grandpa's help, what is there to fear?
Their arrogance grew stronger, and they scolded Sarah, saying, "You despicable person! Accusing me and Abigail of embezzling $6 million? Do you believe I can sue you for defamation? I'll make sure you spend a lifetime in prison!"
Abigail taunted even more, "You seem to be quite defiant from your expression. If you're not convinced, then find the evidence! If you can find it, I'll admit we embezzled this money and call you our ancestor! Unfortunately, you won't find any!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the conference room door creaked open.
Ryder walked in, his steps deliberate, and sneered at Abigail disdainfully, "You want to be a part of our descendant's family? Are you worthy?"
