Falling For My Billionaire Savior - Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Xander gave me a long, meaningful look, then left with Oliver.
"Wait." I tossed the 7 thousand dollars across the desk. "Take this with you. I don't want you to accuse me of trying to rip you off."
Neither of them said a word. They just took the money and walked out.
I got the last word and managed to squeeze a chunk of money out of Oliver, but I didn't feel even a little satisfied. Things had spun far beyond what I expected, and now I needed to figure out my next move.
I wanted to call Mason and ask what I should do in a situation like this. Without even realizing it, I'd already started seeing him as my anchor.
But then I hesitated, afraid Mason would mock me. While I was stuck debating, the fax machine suddenly beeped and began spitting out pages.
I walked over to check and saw they were from Mason. They were all documents about Oliver's embezzlement and falsified accounts over the past few years.
Oh my goodness, the timing couldn't have been better. Everything suddenly clicked into place. I hadn't been able to figure out how Oliver came up with that much money so fast. It turned out he stole it from the company.
After reading through everything, I carefully tucked the pages into a drawer. A moment later, I opened the drawer again and moved the documents into the safe before locking it. Then I sat back down in my chair.
According to the files, Oliver had embezzled more than 300 thousand dollars from the company over the past few years. And I'd been his wife for three of those years without knowing a thing.
There was no time to waste. I needed to strike while the iron was hot. I picked up the phone and called out to the assistant room, "Heidi, come in for a second."
Heidi walked in, and I told her to bring the company's legal counsel to my office. She immediately looked wary and asked, "Why do you need the legal counsel?"
I narrowed my eyes and stood up, leaning forward with both hands on the desk. I spoke softly, as if negotiating, "How about this—I'll send a report to headquarters and ask the chairman to issue a directive switching our positions. What do you think?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Heidi waved her hands in a panic, insisting she wouldn't dare, but still didn't go fetch the lawyer.
"Fine, I'll go myself." I moved like I was about to head out, and only then did Heidi rush to block me, her face falling as she finally went out.
I rubbed my temples, thinking that I really needed to replace this assistant as soon as possible.
Luckily, I didn't have to wait long this time. The lawyer arrived quickly. She looked to be in her early thirties, sharp and professional.
I asked Heidi to leave, then briefly consulted the lawyer about the sentencing guidelines for corporate embezzlement. I didn't mention any names, and the lawyer didn't ask. She explained everything clearly, and I personally walked her out.
Back in my office, a cold smile crept onto my lips. I knew the news that I'd had the lawyer in my office had probably already spread through every corner of the company.
The company's internal politics were even messier than I'd imagined. Even though the three months of training taught me a lot, it still wasn't enough.
But no matter how hard this got, even if everyone ended up against me, I had to expose Oliver for what he really was and make sure he got what he deserved.
If Oliver managed to embezzle that much money right under Xander's nose, there was no way Xander was completely innocent either.
And the fact that I'd openly brought in the lawyer for a private consultation in my office would definitely raise alarms among certain people in the company. That was exactly what I wanted. I needed to stir the pot to achieve my goal.
