Elbert nodded with a forced smile. "Alright! Ms. Cross assure you that from now on, I'll change my ways. and work on correcting my habit of making assumptions....

Before he could finish. Desmond grabbed him by the collar. "Elbert, others might not know who you really are, but I sure do!

"You're just a nobody who got into Provence University through connections. You paid your way to become head of the alumni association, yet you think you're someone important? What a joke!" "Even with a professor or expert title, you're still garbage!"

You're just here for money, aren't you?"

"You tricked Mr. Ferguson into donating 200 million, right? Fine, I'll give it to you now. Now get lost!"

Jonah gestured for him to release Elbert. "Mr. Osborne, I handle my own debts. I don't like others covering them for me."

Desmond hesitated and clarified, "Mr. Ferguson. I meant no disrespect. You're Mr. Ramsey's friend, so covering this is the least I can do."

"My niece was ignorant and offended you in this matter. Mr. Ferguson, please allow me an opportunity to make amends."

Jonah sighed. "Mr. Osborne, I appreciate your concern, but I'll handle this myself. I need to get to the bottom of what's really going on here."

Turning to Elbert and several university officials, Jonah continued, "Mr. Sowle, it's good to have you and the legal advisors here. My child's class should be over now, so I'll contact my wife to clarify exactly what happened with that donation."

"You can see for yourselves whether or not I'm trying to deceive my alma mater!"

Elbert quickly interjected, "Mr. Ferguson, all your friends are distinguished individuals-there's no you would deceive your alma mater. This was all a misunderstanding caused by lower-level staff misinterpreting the university's intentions, which led to some inappropriate actions."

"You are welcome to transfer those 200 million to the university's account whenever it is convenient for

you.

Jonah let out a cold snort and took out his phone. He was about to dial when Desmond stepped in and suggested, "Mr. Ferguson, there's no need to call your wife and question her over 200 million. "How about this? I'll transfer the 200 million to the university now and tell those snobbish people to get lost."

After you've had dinner with Mr. Ramsey and the others, you can return the 200 million when you have time. Isn't that fine? That way, it's not like I'm paying on your behalf. How does that sound?" Jonah hesitated for a moment upon hearing those words.

"Desmond, this isn't your concern, Robin made a gesture at Jonah. "Call your wife!"

Jonah froze, sensing a hidden implication in Robin's tone.

What are you waiting for? Even if your daughter is in tuition class, it's time for her lunch break. Call your wife now!"

"Okay, I'll call her right away!" Jonah shuddered, his instincts telling him that Robin was angry.

Just as Jonah was about to call Leigh, his phone rang.

It was Mason Lester, head of Southvale Development Group's Engineering Department.

Jonah tried to ignore it, but Mason kept calling.

"Mason, what's so urgent that you have to keep calling? I'm busy right now. I'll call you back shortly!"

On the other end. Mason said urgently, "Mr. Ferguson, please don't hang up! I need to tell you something urgent. If we don't handle it now, things will spiral out of control!" Jonah replied coldly. "What's the issue?"

"Mr. Ferguson, the workers at the construction site have gone on strike and are blocking the front of the headquarters building. This could get serious!"

"A strike? Why?" Jonah demanded grimly, his anger rising.

"I pay them better than any construction company in Harmonfield, and they have full insurance. What's there to complain about?"

"Mr. Ferguson, while you do offer higher pay, it's only a promise on paper. They haven't been paid for three months.

"They have been forced to their breaking point, which is why they went on strike. We can't expect them to work for free. They've put in hard labor, and their wages are hard-earned money." "Mason, are you kidding me?" Jonah lashed out in rage

"When have I ever owed the workers money?"

I've always instructed Finance to prioritize payments to frontline workers. I know their wages are hard-earned, that's why they're always paid first."

"I may owe others, but I've never owed the workers!"

A resigned sigh came from the other end. "Mr. Ferguson, you can check with Finance now. They're saying there's not a cent left in the company's account." Jonah yelled, "How is that possible!"

"Three months ago, the Dunn Group headquarters allocated us 20 billion specifically for the Southside development project-no one would dare touch those unds!" "Mason Lester! If you dare Ha

"Hold on, I'm contacting the Finance Department right now to verify"

Jonah was seething with anger.

I finally get a chance to treat Robin to a meal, and suddenly, get bombarded with all these problems!

Just my luck!

Jonah had just hung up from Mason's call when Harper Lester, the Chief Financial Officer of Southvale Development Group, called in. Jonah immediately lashed out, "Harper, what have you done?"

Tve told you before, you can't let the workers' pay go unpaid. Why haven't they received their salaries for three months? Answer me!" Harper replied helplessly, "Mr. Ferguson, you should know that the money in the account was transferred to your company in Qurgh. That's absolute nonsense! Since when have I had a company in Qurgh?" Jonah roared.

Tm warning you, Harper, if you try anything shady and use the company's funds for special projects. I'll call the police and have you arrested for embezzlement!"

"Mr. Ferguson, two months ago, Mrs. Ferguson presented me with an authorization letter for fund usage, signed and stamped by you. She requested the transfer of 20 billion to Regentis Group in Qurgh, in five installments.

"I tried to reach you several times for confirmation, but you were either in meetings or told me you didn't have time. You simply instructed me to follow Mrs. Ferguson's directions."

"Are you saying that Leigh was the one who moved the funds? Jonah felt a prickling sense of unease at those words.

Mason and Harper had served as the head of Engineering and Chief Financial Officer for over a decade, Both were loyal subordinates who had stood by him through thick and thin.

Over the years, they had never betrayed him.

They wouldn't deceive him.

But why would Leigh transfer such a large sum of money?

Harper continued on the phone, "Mrs. Ferguson said you registered a new company in Qurgh and are planning to expand the business there."

"She even has a signed and stamped authorization letter for fund usage and told everyone that wages at Southside Development Group would be delayed for a few months, with promises of larger year-end bonuses. Jonah was stunned by her words..

If this is true, it's truly insane!
