Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Ruthless to the Bone
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Kyle Keaton continued to fixate his gaze on July Quinn on the stage.
People were heatedly discussing Simon Hale and Rhonda Hale’s moral degradation, but Kyle Keaton was different.
He was merely curious about how July Quinn obtained the proof of financial transfers from Esteria.
Because as far as he knew, the institution was full of a bunch of singles in their thirties.
What tactics did July Quinn use to get the proof from that group of old bachelors?
Was it allure, or perhaps...
All kinds of speculations made Kyle Keaton uneasy.
But at this moment, July Quinn continued to speak into the microphone, saying:
"The evidence related to this part, I have already handed over to the relevant departments."
These words made Simon Hale and Rhonda Hale feel as if their hearts were plunging into an abyss.
This part of the embezzled public funds wasn’t much, but it had reached up to several billion.
If charged, it would not be light.
Before their hearts could hit rock bottom, July Quinn spoke again:
"Let’s set these aside for now. Today, the accounts we need to settle with The Hale Family are not just this. Everyone now knows that after investigating their conduct, I set such conditions before cooperating, ensuring the casino could be smoothly established."
The crowd nodded along, indicating their understanding of the previous term July Quinn established for hundredfold compensation for embezzled public funds.
After all, facing such two wolves, not making preparations would lead to one being swallowed whole eventually.
Only after observing the subtle change in the crowd’s attitude did July Quinn change her tone.
"Even though I set such terms, Mr. Hale and Miss Hale did not hesitate in their spending. Look, in just a few months, they’ve embezzled nearly a billion again."
As July Quinn’s voice fell, she operated her phone to switch the content on the giant screen.
Quickly, the evidence regarding Simon Hale and Rhonda Hale’s embezzlement over the past few months was once again displayed to the public.
As before, the proof still bore Esteria’s watermark.
This caused an uproar in the crowd.
"Embezzling nearly a billion in just a few months, Simon Hale and Rhonda Hale truly consume without leaving any bones."
"If you ask me, Simon Hale’s clinic needs to be properly investigated too; visiting it for treatment costs tens of thousands!"
"With so much money, it’s either stock trading or buying luxury goods; they must think of Miss Quinn as a fool."
"Thank goodness Miss Quinn exposed these two worms; otherwise, anyone who cooperated with them would be the real fool."
Of course, aside from feeling relief over July Quinn’s exposure of these two scoundrels, some people began calculating the amount they would need to compensate.
"Putting aside embezzlement of public funds, if The Hale Family has to compensate a hundredfold, it would reach nearly a trillion. Even selling the whole Hale Family wouldn’t cover it."
"Liquidating assets, compensate as much as possible. We can’t let Miss Quinn, coming from afar to invest here, feel disheartened. Otherwise, who would still come to our Esteria for investment and construction?"
Simon Hale noticed that the one leading the call to liquidate their family’s assets was Chase, who had previously partnered with him to establish a pharmaceutical factory.
Chase used to be so close to him, like wearing the same pants, so Simon Hale never forgot to involve him in money-making deals.
Even for the affair and child of Chase’s mistress, Simon Hale assisted in managing it.
But who could have imagined that at the first sign of trouble, Chase would lead the riot against him?
"Chase, do you think that if my family falls, you’ll benefit?"
Simon Hale shouted, resenting having misjudged the person initially.
However, Chase seemed unable to hear Simon Hale’s shouts, merrily recounting Simon Hale’s past unethical acts to others.
That’s right, Simon Hale had never truly treated people sincerely, so Chase never considered Simon Hale a friend.
If the Hale Family collapsed now, Chase would merely lose a source of support, but he couldn’t let others think he was the same as Simon Hale; what if no one cooperated with him in the future?
So, not only did Chase lead the complaints against Simon Hale, he also took the lead in calling the police...
