Chapter 517 She Must Have Taken the Money
Seraphina hadn’t planned to come in person, but the Eloria Bay project was already at a critical stage. Reporters were swarming the construction,site, and if anything went wrong, the entire project could collapse before it even began.
Although Joseph had prepared thoroughly and handled things with care, his age was catching up with him, making it challenging for him to adapt quickly in a crisis.
As the pivotal moment approached, he grew so anxious that he ended up in the hospital.
When Seraphina heard the news, she almost laughed in exasperation.
Cross Group had already invested a substantial amount of money into the project; letting it go to waste was simply not an option.
Worried, she decided to oversee things herself.
Joseph looked unwell but also somewhat pitiful. Upon hearing that Seraphina had arrived at Eldoria Bay, he insisted on tagging along..
Outside, the preparations were nearly complete. Sitting in the car, Seraphina glanced at Joseph.
Her tone was cold and faintly threatening. “I could just strangle you!”
Joseph bowed his head even lower, muttering, “I could strangle myself too.”
Seraphina turned away, letting out a sigh.
Forget it! For the next project, she would make sure to appoint a director who was in good health.
We set up the press conference at the construction site, a half–finished building that had already undergone multiple failed attempts.
The exposed walls, now decorated, gave off an oddly minimalist industrial vibe.
The press conference began.
Amid a crowd of staff, Seraphina blended in, unnoticed.
Joseph took the lead and began outlining the project’s progress and future prospects.
This project had faced numerous setbacks before finally landing in Cross Group’s hands. It was now tied to Eldoria Bay’s broader city development plans, attracting significant attention.
It was time for the questioning session.
“Rumor has it that former employees of Griffin Corporation showed up at the company, causing trouble. Is this related to the current project? Will the treatment of former employees remain the same after Cross acquired Griffin?” One reporter asked.
Joseph, gradually casing into the flow, replied, “Of course, it’s different. Griffin Corporation owed its . employees nearly a year’s worth of unpaid wages. After Cross Group took over, we personally covered all the debts. If it were the same, they’d still be going hungry!”

“Several executives from Griffin Corporation were reportedly taken to the police station on allegations of corporate crimes. Was it Cross Group that provided the evidence? Have there been any convictions?”
Joseph answered, “Cross Group has been here for nearly two months. Throughout the acquisition, anything suspicious we discovered was reported to Griffin Corporation and the relevant authorities. For matters of corporate crime, you’ll have to consult the courts and prosecutors.”
Seraphina knew that the next person to appear was set to be a bombshell figure–the murderer’s wife.
No one recognized her, but once the host introduced her background, the spotting prey.
reporters‘ eyes lit up like wolves
According to the prearranged plan, this woman would confess to all the crimes her husband had committed and apologize on his behalf. In return, the medical expenses for her cancer–stricken daughter would be fully covered.
She did exactly as agreed; everything seemed to go smoothly. Though her plight was tragic, it did not elicit any sympathy.
Standing beside Seraphina, Thomas leaned in and whispered, “Ms. Cross, once the crowd disperses, it might get chaotic. Should we leave early?”
Seraphina hesitated, her brows knitting slightly. She said, “Let’s wait a bit longer.”
A nagging sense of unease gnawed at her. It felt too calm, almost like it shouldn’t be this peaceful.
The woman on stage finished her tearful confession and expressed her gratitude to Cross Group for their understanding. Just as Joseph was about to announce the end of the conference, a shouted from the crowd.
er suddenly
“This woman took money! Her husband’s facing a death sentence, yet she’s speaking on behalf of Cross Group. How much did Cross Group pay you off?”
In an instant, the atmosphere turned tense
and uncertain.
