In the next few days, there would be a lot to gossip about.
Soon, only the three of them were left in the meeting room. Zayn, Joanna, and Bethany. Gael had told Someone to take Daphne away.
Zayn turned around and looked at Bethany with a profound look in his eyes, " You aren't wrong. Before my father died, he told me something!”
Bethany moved her lips as she wanted to say something. However, she only made a sound after a long while, "But how come l know nothing about it at all?"
"Of course, you don't know about it. It is because that before you got the information, you had..."
"Zayn!" Joanna interrupted him suddenly in her sharp voice.
She could not let him say the words. If he talked about it in front of
Bethany, her lie would be unraveled soon.
When Joanna thought of it, she pulled Zayn's sleeve. She forced herself to show a smile on her pale face, "zayn, let's not talk about the past, okay? For now, I am the person who got the gifts from grandpa you. and I am your sister by rights”.
Zayn was frowning. He pulled his sleeve out of her hand and said, "Of Course, you are my sister but!” He looked down at her and said, "This is your last chance from me. If you do these things again, I will cancel the rights you have ever been given.”
“Alright, sure, I won't do it again. I Swear that I will not do it again!"Joanna put up her three fingers hastily.
Bethany twitched her lips in the dark. She would never believe Joanna's bullshit.
She revealed Joanna's identity in public. It meant a lot to Joanna. Thus, how could she not be angry and target her?
Meanwhile, Danica had just arrived at the Blue Ridge group and was led to the conference room. Just as she stepped into the conference, she saw the three of them standing there with long faces. She hurried up and went close to Zayn with a warm smile on her face.
“Hi, zayn".
“What are you doing.......?” While he was about to ask her the reason for her visit. Danica's phone rang out of the blue and she stepped aside to answer it.
She looked disdainfully at their faces before she took out her phone and answered the call, "Mom!”
"Oh no, Danny, someone reported that our company products are not qualified. Besides, they also found out about the tax evasion and false accounting of our company. A few departments have come here to investigate these issues now."
"What?" Danica exclaimed.
Bethany and Zayn looked at each other. They wondered what had happened and caused her to be so agitated.
"Who reported it?" Danica grasped her phone tightly and asked.
"I am not sure too. That is why I am calling you. You go and ask Zayn whether he can help us to check it out." Samantha finished her words anxiously in a hurry. After that, she hung up the phone.
Danica put down her phone and said, "Zayn, my mom is in trouble."
She told him about the matter she heard just now.
Bethany frowned and snorted.
Such situations had never occurred when her family assisted in managing the Medina Group in the past.
For now, many problems appeared in the Medina Group when she and her family
was not there anymore.
She did not expect that even things like tax evasion and false accounting would also happen in the Medina Group.
No wonder the Group did not have any improvement at all after six years has passed.
"I will help you to find out the
a person who reported the Medina Group,"
Zayn spoke lightly while tidying up his the sleeve that was just grasped and wrinkled by Danica.
However, he spoke again before Danica's mood turned better, "What about after you find the person out?"
"What do you mean?" Danica was stunned.
Bethany smiled and said, "Mr.Meyer means that it is useless even if we have found out who reported it. It could not help in restoring the loss of Medina Group. Tax evasion and false accounting are not small trouble. It is a matter of breaking the law. Your mother must pay double tax money back if she does not want to go to jail. But then the Medina Group...” She did not continue saying the remaining words.
However, Danica could get her point. If her mother made up the tax, the Medina Group would face the trouble of the shortage of capital. Then, the Company might be bankrupt!
“No, I won't let the Medina Group face bankruptcy. I had gone through Such a long harsh time to replace Giselle and become the first heir of the Medina family. I would have nothing else with me if the family Group went bankrupt!
“Zayn, you will help me, right?" Danica stared at zayn and asked.
Zayn put his hands in his pants pocket, “Tell me now. How can I help you? Even if your mother has paid all the taxes back and does not need to be imprisoned, she had become a defaulting person after this. Moreover, she will be observed by the relevant departments.If I lend money to her, the relevant departments will also investigate our Blue Ridge Group. So, I will not take this risk."
Danica was sad when Zayn refused to help her.Bethany was the only one who did not show any trace of surprise. Not only Zayn, but others would not help her to settle that kind of matter as well.
Nobody was stupid. How could they let others target their companies for the sake of Medina Group!
However, Danica was determined.
She was so anxious that her tears rolled down, ”Zayn, you are my fiancé. How can you be so ruthless?"
“You mean I am ruthless if I don't help you on this matter?" A cold smile was shown on Zayn's thin lips, "Then, let me ask you, will the Medina Group help us, the Blue Ridge Group when we faced troubles?"
"This..." Danica was speechless when she was asked by him. She tried to speak several times. But in the end, she could not answer his question.
Zayn spoke mockingly, "You see, you got your answer already, right?"
"No, Zayn, it is not like that. We will help the Blue Ridge company if it is in trouble. It is just that the Blue ridge company is not facing any trouble now." Danica lowered her head and spoke softly.
Bethany laughed suddenly, "Do you mean that you have no chance to help Blue Ridge group?"
"Shut up! No one thinks that you are dumb if you don't speak!" Danica glared at her fiercely and reprimanded her.
Bethany did not argue with her, "Alright, then I will just stay quiet."
After saying that, she stopped talking and stood quietly at the side.
Zayn pinched the bridge of his nose and spoke in his deep voice, "All right, you should go back now. Your mother had been in charge of the Medina Group for so many years. I believe that she will be able to solve this problem."
"But.” It seemed that Danica still wanted to say something.
Zayn knitted his eyebrows. Then, Danica became speechless at the moment. After that, she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot angrily before she left the conference room.
After she left, Zayn took out his phone and called the relevant department. He was asking for the identity of the person who had reported the Medina Group.
A moment later, he put his phone down. He got the answer. After hesitating for a while, Bethany looked at Zayn and asked, "Mr. Meyer, who is it?" Although she was no longer the daughter of the Medina family, her parents had contributed and put a lot of effort into the Medina Group. Thus, she could not just ignore it.
Zayn looked down and answered her lightly, "A top hacker with excellent skill."
"Hacker?" Bethany widened her eyes and spoke at a higher volume.
'Oh my god, it could not be, right?"
"Why? Do you know who the person is?" Her reaction told Zayn that she might know something about it. He narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.
Bethany touched her nose and said, "Well, I probably know who did it. But, please forgive me as I am not able to reveal his identity."
Jenna was a hacker but, she did not intend to let him know. Even though he was her biological father, she felt that she had to let the fewer people know about it to ensure Jenna's safety.
After all, Jenna was just five years old. What if she was used by someone with bad intentions!
Zayn had no idea what Bethany was concerned about. He was a bit angry with her covering up.
His voice became colder, "Alright, I And will not ask more since you don't want to tell me about it. But I want to know the reason for him doing this."
"She wanted to avenge me." Bethany held her forehead helplessly. However, there was a trace of pampering in her eyes, “He knew that I was hit by Edward And he also knew that I was bullied and wronged by Danica. So, he wanted to teach them a lesson."
"He seems to care about you."Zayn was unhappy to receive such an answer as he snorted.
Bethany smiled and replied to him, Yeah."
Zayn was getting more frustrated. He walked towards the door with his body that was surrounded by a gloomy aura.
Bethany reacted slowly. He seemed to be angry. But, she had no idea of the point of him getting angry.

Later in the day, Bethany decided to go over to the kindergarten to pick up Jenna along with Erica.
The children ran towards her joyfully when they saw her. One of them hugged her right leg while another one hugged her left leg.
“Second Mommy."
"Good boy! Good girl!" Bethany stroked the two children's heads.
Then , she looked back and saw the nanny coming towards them, she pursed her Lips and said, “your nanny is here to take you back. You should go home now, Jenna's mommy is here to take her too”.
“Okay. I will see you again” He waved at them and left.
Bethany held Jenna's hand to get into the car. Jenna blinked and looked at her in the car, "Mommy, did you notice the surprise we prepared for you today?”.
