My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 174

After more than one hour of meeting, Lucian finished his report.

"May I have the name of the corrupt official?" Bella finally breaks her silence. She needed the names of the alleged corrupt officials to start her investigation. If she couldn’t stop them with subtle means, then she would resort to harsh methods.

And it is up to the corrupt officials what way they want her to use. They can choose!

Lucian explains that they only know the people they are in contact with, not the people behind them. Therefore, he cannot guarantee that any valuable information can be gleaned from them to investigate the mastermind behind the corrupt officials.

"It’s fine, Mr. Lucian," Leo replied instead of Bella. When he saw Lucian suprised by his words, he continued, "Well, we just want to know the parties that you have contact with."

Lucian slightly frowned as he saw Leo. Then, he turned his gaze at Bella.

When he saw Bella say nothing but small nods, he immediately asked his secretary to give them the list.

He didn’t have much faith in the newly appointed CEO to address the root cause of the company’s problems. However, Lucian only needs the head office to be aware of the issue and take matters from his hands as he doesn’t have enough resources to deal with it.

...

Bella read the names of five people on the paper. After reading their profiles, she offered the map to Leo beside her and glanced at Lucian, who sat across from her.

"I understand your concern, Mr. Bloomdale," she says, a half smile slowly appearing on her lips. "Unlike the person before you, you and all the gentlemen here already work hard to manage and operate this office and our business in line with shareholders’ interest. Let’s continue doing so. As for the corrupt official, I will take care of it. You don’t need to worry about them.

But rest assured, they will stop stealing our company’s money..."

Lucian Bloomdale and the other directors were surprised to hear how confident Bella was. They all doubted this young woman’s ability to solve such a complex and tremendous matter, but they did not voice their opinions.

Bella could feel their doubts. Even so, she let them pass and said nothing about it.

She would take action to deal with all the corrupt officials who stole her company’s money. And she likely had to resort to the hard way.

In essence, there is no way she will close her eyes to this immoral practice!

After the lengthy meeting, Lucas treated Bella and the rest to lunch at a seafood restaurant nearby.

This restaurant is never empty of visitors. As a result, it is challenging to get a seat to eat there, especially if they visit during the lunch or dinner break.

Luckily, Lucian was an excellent administrator. He is well prepared. He had already reserved the VIP room a week early. So they could enjoy their lunch peacefully in the VIP room.

They arrive just after the lunch break, but the restaurant’s hall is still full of customers enjoying their lunch.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, the manager recognized Lucian and promptly escorted them to the VIP room.
