Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 150 by Adolf Dunne
Rachel tilted her head, her eyes slightly lowered. She kept on tapping the table with her fingertips.Her every movement looked languid and casual. “Wasn't I clear enough? Debts are debts. Theyshould be paid in full. You are a businessman, arent you? It's strange that you don't understandsomething this simple.” In a cold tone, she added, "Which part of my statement don't you get, Mr.Davidson?” Aldo gritted his teeth, obviously not amused.
“Miss Bennet, I suggest that you don't go too far. Otherwise, I believe you won't be able to bear theconsequences of your actions! Do you really think you can manage the Bennet Group on your own?Without our support, it will crumble down in an instant!” “Oh, you think so? Unfortunately, I reallylike going too far. It makes me excited.” Looking into Aldo’s menacing eyes, Rachel chuckled andsaid, “Andy.” Andy immediately took a few steps forward and put a folder in front of Aldo.
“Mr. Davidson, that contains the capital details of you misappropriating Bennet Group's money inthe last seven years. Moreover, there are pieces of evidence of you leaking the company’s classifieddocuments to others.” 1 The moment they heard Andy talk about leaked classified documents, theeyes of the directors widened in disbelief. They looked at each other, wondering if they heard thesame thing. At the same time, Aldo’s expression changed drastically.
He was trembling profusely, not able to think straight. “I-impossible!” Rachel leaned back to her seatcomfortably and let out a sly smile. “Impossible? Are you saying that it's impossible for you to leaksuch documents? Or you think that it's impossible for me to replace out about it?” 2 Aldo wanted toanswer but no words came out of his mouth. All he could do was clench his fists in fury. At the backof his mind he knew very well that it was the latter.
But of course, no criminal would admit to his sins that easily. Earlier, he was so calm because hedidn't foresee that Rachel actually had the capability to go against him. After all, he was the head ofthese directors. The moment he said that he would quit, these people would also follow him withouthesitation.
When that happened, the Bennet Group would be in a complete mess. Moreover, even if Rachel wasthe heiress, everyone would just treat her as a joke. However, now that Aldo's dirty secret wasexposed, the table was suddenly turned against him.
Before today, except for him and the companies he leaked the information to, no one knew abouthis dark secret. Not even one of these directors was aware. However, Rachel made sure thateveryone would know this time. Originally, the directors’ interests were, of course, bounded with thegroup. Therefore, no one dared to be involved in any kind of corruption. Instead, they devotedthemselves to the Bennet Group and invested several projects.
But to their deepest disappointment, even though they poured all their efforts and dedication, othercompanies had always cut in front them and stole the projects. In the past years, the groupeventually suffered heavy losses. Over and over again, the aspirations and ambitions of thesedirectors were destroyed. Gradually, they also lost confidence in the Bennet Group. Thinking of noother easy way, they were enticed to start misappropriating Bennet Group's money as well.
But now, Rachel revealed that the failure of those projects was not actually just an unfortunatecoincidence. They kept on happening because there was a traitor among them. To top it all, itturned out that Aldo, their head, was the traitor himself. of course, they were all shocked. Thedirectors pounded the table hard. They started pointed their fingers at Aldo, questioning himharshly. “Aldo! Is Miss Bennet stating the truth? Don't lie to us!”
“You are a cunning bastard! We trusted you so much. But in the end, you were behind all this? Howcould you do this to us?!” “Don't think that you can leave this place without giving us anexplanation!” Faced with the wrath of the other directors, Aldo couldn't say a single word. He wasstill calm a few moments ago, but now, he was sweating, unable to refute the accusations beingthrown at him. His face turned pale and he suddenly felt dizzy.
He couldn’t fathom how things turned out like this. Aldo turned his head to glance at Rachel, andhe saw that there was just a calm and indifferent look on her face. A chill ran down his spine andspread in his heart. Not even an hour ago, he thought that she was just a little girl who posed nothreat to him. After all, everyone assumed that she would be nothing like her mother. But now, thewoman in front of him seemed to be a different person with unfathomable wits. 2 In the chaos, justas Andy was thinking to say something, a man suddenly rushed over to Rachel.
With a stern look on his face, Andy thought that the man was going to hurt Rachel. Hence, heinstantly strode forward and stood in front of her to protect her. Unexpectedly, when the man gotclose to Andy and Rachel, he suddenly knelt down. “Miss Bennet, please forgive me! I shouldn't havedone it. I'm so sorry! We only did it because... We were all incited by Aldo! We were stupid. Wedidn't know he was a traitor all along!
I know I've done bad things. But for the sake of the things that I have contributed to the BennetGroup, please give me another chance! Miss Bennet, I beg you! I won't be able to get enoughmoney to pay back in three days, but I will do my best effort to return them!” After saying that, hekowtowed three times on the ground to show his utmost sincerity. Seeing this, the other directorsquickly put aside the matter about Aldo and also knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Forgive us, Miss Bennet! Please let this go!” “Miss Bennet, we have already learned our lesson. Wepromise to never do that again!” “Miss Bennet, please” “Okay.” While the directors begged nonstop,Rachel's voice suddenly came from behind Andy. “Okay? Really?” The director who knelt first was sostunned that he didn’t know what to say. “Miss Bennet, does that mean that you have forgiven us?”Rachel then took a sip of water and said with a smile, “Well, you have all knelt before me.
If I don't do something, I will look so heartless, won't 1? I also know that you can't get enoughmoney in such a short time. Of course, I understand that. I'm not an unreasonable person.” “Thankyou, Miss Bennet! I knew that you are a-". The directors were overjoyed, and there was a gleam ofhope in their eyes. However, they didn't expect that this newly ignited hope would also beextinguished the very next second. “Instead, you can pay with your shares.”
Rachel put down the glass and squinted at the directors who were still kneeling on the ground,wearing a faint smile. “I have calculated the stock of the Bennet Group for you. With your combinedshares, you can pay a couple million back. For the rest of your debt, I think you grown men all knowhow to borrow, right?”
“You... This is madness! Are you trying to rob us?” Rachel raised her eyebrows frivolously andretorted coldly, “If you call this robbing, then what about the thing you did with the money of thecompany? Well, I'm not forcing you to sell your shares. However, if you can't pay the money back ontime, 1 may have to send these files to the economic investigation office. By then, I guess you willhave to live in prison for the rest of your lives.”
Hearing this straightforward threat, the directors’ faces turned pale and resentful. As Rachel checkedthe time, she saw that it was almost eight o'clock. She then stood up, not wanting to prolong thisgame any longer. “Andy, I'll leave the rest to you. I have to go now.” Rachel waved her hand andgave the order.
Andy nodded and replied, “Okay, Miss Bennet. I'll take care of it.” “I know you will.” Rachel smiledand then looked across the faces of the miserable directors. “You can stay longer to think it over. I'mgiving you the chance to pay your debts. Although you can't pay in full at once, you can at leaststart reducing them. Don't you agree? Now, once you make up your minds, tell Andy and he willhelp you sign a share transfer contract.” After this, Rachel walked towards the door and was aboutto leave.
But when she was about to step out, she stopped and looked back at Aldo, who was still seated witha pale face. “By the way, Mr. Davidson, I forgot to tell you that I have another big gift for youtonight. It should be ready by now.” Hearing this, Aldo’s eyes trembled and felt very uneasy. At thispoint, he was sure that this gift couldn't be a good thing. Suddenly, his phone rang. Looking at thename of the caller on the screen, he shivered.
He hesitated for a moment, but he eventually picked it up. Before he could even speak, hisgrandson's anxious voice already echoed from the other line, “Grandpa, we are in trouble! Theeconomic investigation team came to our house and said that they wanted to search our place!They also took dad away!”
Hearing this all at once, Aldo couldn't take it anymore. His mind went blank and he lost his balance,making him fall from the chair to the ground. His phone also fell to the floor, causing a crack on itsscreen. “Hello? Grandpa! Grandpa, are you still listening?!” There was a faint anxious voice thatcould be heard from the phone.
The other directors were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Fearing that theywould suffer the same thing, someone immediately came to his senses and declared withoutthinking, “I will sell my shares! Damn it all! Give me the contract!”
