Chapter 684 Know Her Again
"No need to rush," Fiona said with a smile. Leonardo forced a smile and had a vague sense of foreboding. "Leonardo, can I start settling the accounts now as a major shareholder?" Fiona stared at him and asked every word slowly.
Leonardo's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he struggled to speak. "I'll start with a self-critique. Last year, several decision-making mistakes resulted in losses for the company. But I guarantee that the department's performance will significantly grow this year!"
"Do you know how much money Leonardo caused in losses with just a few decision-making mistakes?" Fiona didn't look at Leonardo but instead scanned the crowd.
No one dared to speak.
Fiona didn't mind and casually stated a number, "600 million dollars."
The expressions of some people in the meeting room gradually turned worse.
"Although this number is insignificant compared to Solomon's annual profits, it would be enough for a small or medium-sized company to either thrive or go bankrupt." Fiona looked at Leonardo again. "Leonardo, which kind of companies do you belong to?"
Fiona paused for a moment.
"The kind that goes bankrupt or the kind that thrives?"
Leonardo stiffened. "Fiona, I don't understand what you mean."
"If you don't understand, then let me show you something that's easy to comprehend."
Laura immediately projected some documents onto the screen.
Leonardo glanced at them, and his face turned pale.
"Leonardo, it seems that your mistake in decision-making caused the company's losses. But in reality, you had been secretly channeling the lost money to your offshore account under the name of your illegitimate child," Fiona lightly tapped the table with her slender finger and coldly said.
"This is fake. Someone is framing me!" Leonardo stood up.
Fiona lifted her eyelids and stopped tapping the table. "Is it really? Isn't the boy my bodyguard found in LA your illegitimate child?"
The blood in Leonardo's body seemed to freeze instantly.
"What have you done?" Leonardo's voice trembled.
"Leonardo, why are you nervous? As a legitimate businesswoman, it is normal to investigate any irregularities in my husband's business accounts, especially when it comes to tracking the whereabouts of owed payments." Fiona shrugged. "Are you afraid that I, in a fit of rage, will kill that child?"
Leonardo's face turned pale.
To Leonardo, Fiona's words seemed to imply that she indeed had such intentions.
Tristan was brainless.
Tristan saw the situation and added fuel to the fire.
"Fiona, who are you trying to threaten by kidnapping that child?"
"You shut up!" Leonardo wanted to strangle Tristan.
Tristan's neck seemed to shrink as he slowly realized he might have said the wrong thing.
"Fiona, can we talk for a moment?" Leonardo's face stiffened.
Leonardo felt humiliated to ask Fiona in front of so many shareholders.
Leonardo had boldly declared that Fiona might leave the company in tears today.
Now, Leonardo thought that the one who might leave the company in tears could be himself.
"I don't have much to say. The financial records I found are only for last year. I believe that with Leonardo's skills, it shouldn't be his first time," Fiona's tone was cold, "Mr. Solomon may not have found out, but considering Mr. Newton's influence, he didn't do anything to you. If it weren't for Leonardo's audacity today to target my husband's company and try to remove me from Solomon's management, I wouldn't have laid a finger on you, Leonardo. Treat me well, and I'll treat you well."
Fiona's words trailed off as the doors of the conference room were pushed open.
Xavier came in with a few people.
The people at the shareholders' meeting were familiar with Xavier.
Wherever Darwin went, Xavier followed.
Privately, everyone liked to call Xavier Darwin's executioner the one who wielded the knife.
"Leonardo, come with us. The tax department people are already waiting for you," Xavier waved at Leonardo and said.
"The tax department?" Leonardo looked at Fiona in shock. "Fiona, why are you so hard on me? Do you really want to ruin my future?"
Fiona raised her chin slightly and glanced at the people in the conference room. "Everyone present, even the elderly from Solomon and Solomons, may not know me well. Today, I’ll take this opportunity to let everyone understand my style and methods."
After speaking, Fiona looked at Leonardo. "Strictly speaking, this can't really be considered harsh for me. Of course, if you want to experience the harshness, you can continue making a scene."
Leonardo's spine chilled.
Henry sneered, "Leonardo, when you were greedy for so much money, you didn't think you were harsh. Do you think Fiona is harsh now that you have to pay for your actions? You should know your fate if Mr. Solomon handled this matter."
Leonardo trembled violently.
Before, Leonardo had also thought that today's plan had failed.
But he didn’t take it seriously.
After all, Darwin was already dead, so how much trouble could Fiona cause?
But now, for Solomon, at this moment stabilizing the situation was the most important thing. Therefore, Leonardo was certain that even if he made a scene, Fiona would most likely let him go in the end!
But little did he know.
Fiona didn't play by the rules at all!
"Release my son! He's innocent!" Leonardo gritted his teeth.
"Innocent? Is his sports car, mansion, the models he provided for, and the expensive restaurants he dines at, any of that innocent?" Fiona chuckled coldly. "Don't worry, I said that as a proper businesswoman, I won't harm your son. The tax department will extradite him back so you can reunite with your son."
Xavier saw that Leonardo didn't move.
Xavier lost his patience and strode forward, grabbing Leonardo and heading toward the exit.
At this moment, silence fell upon the entire conference room.
No one dared to speak, whether they were familiar with Fiona or not.
Everyone was contemplating in their minds.
Whether or not the money they embezzled from the company threatened the company's interests.
"Carry on."
Then, the woman's pleasant voice, like a whisper from a demon, resounded once again.
"Secretary Woods, I was deceived by Leonardo!" Tristan abruptly stood up and began accusing Leonardo. Exposing his own shortcomings.
Fiona looked at Tristan as if she hadn't heard his words. "Since you're standing up, you must be the second one, Tristan."
"Secretary Woods!" Tristan exclaimed, "I know I was wrong. I'll immediately have my wife return the money I embezzled and make up for it! I know I am scum and don't deserve to stay in the company. I'll immediately sell my shares to you and then leave the company. Please show mercy and spare me this time!" "
