Chapter 601: Chapter 592: Don’t Want Him to Be in Trouble

After the weekend, Griffith held its customary Monday 9 a.m. weekly meeting.

As a partner, Daniel Peacock’s Peacock Clan also attended the meeting, and this partnership was what Yannis Griffith had promised.

Just past eight o’clock, someone hurried towards the meeting room, and Miss Rivers knocked and entered. Inside the office, Daniel Peacock played with his lighter, a silver-colored lighter that was brand new and seemed to have never been used.

Miss Rivers sat in the office chair and coldly said, "Proceed as planned?"

"Are you in a hurry because something has happened?" Daniel Peacock’s gentle voice followed by a click. Miss Rivers countered, "What could happen to me? Chairman Johnson of the Kyoto City Group has been urging me! I’m getting a headache from the urging! On the contrary, President Peacock, could it be that you’re hesitating and planning to back down? After planning for two years, don’t be a loser! Or are you weighing Sister Cherish? If you want Cherish to be yours, you should make up your mind!"

"It’s not your place to preach!" Daniel Peacock’s eyes turned cold in an instant, causing Miss Rivers to tremble slightly.

Miss Rivers clenched her teeth, "We agreed that my parents and brother can immigrate to Canada, and you must ensure that nothing will happen to me! Including..."

Halfway through her sentence, Daniel Peacock interrupted, "Don’t worry, you won’t lose a penny, and your family will enjoy the good fortune."

"Fine, I’ll leave first." Miss Rivers stood up to leave.

Looking at the lighter in his hand, Daniel Peacock’s bottom of his eyes was dyed with a touch of silver, but the image in his mind was the picture from the wallet. He pondered quietly for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, it was nine o’clock. As his assistant reminded him that it was meeting time, he carefully put away the lighter, put on his suit jacket, and walked out slowly under the watchful eyes of his assistant.

Everyone had arrived at the conference hall on the top floor for the weekly meeting, and as soon as Daniel Peacock sat down, William Griffith followed. Just as the meeting was about to start, the conference hall door was suddenly pushed open. Everyone looked up, full of suspicion, as the Griffith’s four major shareholders entered. Old Graham took the lead and said, "Except for President Peacock, you all leave."

Everyone sensed something was wrong but dared not act until William Griffith nodded, and then they left one after another.

When the venue was empty, there were only three groups of people left in the conference hall.

Daniel Peacock, the four major shareholders, and William Griffith, who remained silent all along.

William Griffith sat calmly at the main seat of the conference table, his hands resting on the armrests, expressionless, and his taciturn demeanor exuded an air of composure and equanimity, evoking respect and awe.

Old Lee said, "William, we just learned something and wanted to ask you about it."

"You should look at this first." Old Graham took over, taking a few documents from his subordinates and throwing them on the conference table. "These are the four-year cooperation plans between Seashore Corporation and Griffith. We found something strange. The last phase of the project resulted in huge losses, and Seashore Corporation is about to declare bankruptcy. How much debt does Griffith have to bear? Moreover, the cooperation’s profits in the first three phases are very unreasonable, and we suspect that someone has tampered with them behind the scenes! The cooperation case with Seashore Corporation was handled by President Peacock, and the final decision was yours, William. For justice’s sake, we decided to hand this matter over to the police after discussing it."

As the words fell, someone else pushed the door and entered.

A few police officers came in, and William Griffith remained silent in response, while Daniel Peacock appeared slightly astonished. The man in the lead wore a neat windbreaker, took out his credentials, and slowly said, "Mr. William Griffith, Mr. Daniel Peacock, we are from the Haicheng Commercial Crime Investigation Division. We just received a phone call reporting a commercial case involving Griffith. I am Aaron Green, the public security police officer in charge of this investigation. We hope you will cooperate with our investigation at the police station."

In the quiet and secluded interrogation room, several people were questioned in turn.

William Griffith remained silent until his lawyer, Wilson Ferguson, arrived, and only then did he answer the police officer’s questions. His cold face was undisturbed, and he dealt with the questions in very brief words. In the other interrogation room, Daniel Peacock cooperated with the police questioning quite well, but when he looked down, he showed a moment of surprise, uneasiness, and annoyance.

In a separate interrogation room, Miss Rivers, who was William Griffith’s secretary, was also interrogated.

"Miss Rivers, please answer our questions truthfully," the police officer said.

Miss Rivers pursed her lips and remained silent, unconsciously clenching her fists, realizing that she was in trouble this time. She didn’t expect them to report to the police privately. Even if the Johnson Family supported her, she wouldn’t get away with it. This was totally inconsistent with the original plan, and she didn’t want to go to jail.
