My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 264 William Escapes

"Mr. Carter, the Newell Group paid what they owed us. Besides, it's very strange. They paid a lot more money." The CFO of the HD Group came to Richard with the extra money he drew from bank. "Check if it's the payment for this order." Richard instantly reacted and asked the CFO to check.

"Well, you are right. It is just the payment for this order. But the Newell Group always delays payment by two months. Why didn't they delay the payment this time and pay in advance?" the CFO was a bit confused.

"Don't worry about this. It is a good thing that we receive the payment. We need funds. You go check how much money we have now. We must pay Ms. Rose a penalty for breach of contract. See if we have enough money." Richard knew clearly that someone was undermining the HD Group. But just when he suspected that the Newell Group was involved, Amy helped him. What did she mean? She wanted to show that she was not the one undermining the HD Group?

Richard was thinking when someone else came to report that Wilson Group's raw materials were out of stock and they could not supply to the HD Group. But the raw materials of the goods Ms. Rose wanted were produced by Wilson Group. If the raw materials were not enough, then the HD Group would not be able to deliver the goods to Ms. Rose within the time limit.

Could it be that Amy had got in touch with Matt? Were they going to hit him first, then pretend to help him and make him have rejoiced too soon?

Richard, who had been through many things in business, was confused. What was going on?

Halbert had almost recovered. So, he was discharged from the hospital to go home to recuperate. This incident was a great blow to him. He was in the business for many years, but had not encountered such a situation.

When Halbert returned home, William knelt down and confessed his mistake. He said that he had gotten carried away before and now he knew he was wrong. But he didn't have the money to make up. So, he wanted Halbert to give him some money.

"Sell your villa and see how much it can make up. I have little money and it is certainly not enough. You have to go ask for Richard's help." Halbert had looked old over this period of time and did not care about a lot of things anymore.

"Dad, I can't sell my villa. Where would I live if I sold it? Richard also has his own villa. Why can't I have one? Dad, you are too partial, aren't you?" not only did William not realize what he had done wrong, he even compared himself with Richard.

"He brought villa with his money, not embezzled public money. If you are capable, then don't let our company suffer a loss. Shut up! You and Jacob had run the HD Group first back then. After you guys made the company suffer a loss, I left the company to Richard. Don't think Richard can buy a villa because he gets much money in the HD Group." Halbert was no longer defending his sons now.

"Dad, are you trying to drive me to death? Those shareholders are pushing me. Richard is also pushing me. Will you guys feel better if I die?" William couldn't lose face. So, he bought the villa. If he had to sell it now, then his friends would definitely laugh at him.

"Maybe we'll still have a hard time even if you die." Halbert had a headache again. He had recovered in the hospital. But after he came back and saw his indisputable son, he had a headache again. Seeing that his father did not help him, William knew there was no way and he had to sell the villa, or he would go to jail.

It was one hundred million. How could he make up for the misappropriated money? Even if he sold the villa, it was not enough.

He had squandered all that money. How could he have money to make up for it? William sat in the living room, sighing. His hair was almost pulled out.

"William, what's wrong? You look upset!" Grandma Eva walked over and saw William vexed. She was distressed.

"Grandma, mom, I'm fine." William did not intend to tell these two people who had no money. It was useless.

"Really? But I heard that you have embezzled a large amount of the company's public funds. Where did you spend the money? Why did you embezzle the public funds?" Grandma Eva spoke unkindly. She also knew that the man who embezzled the public funds would go to jail.

"Grandma, I am tremendously upset now. So, please stop asking me anything. I have nothing now. Even if I sell my house, it is not enough to make up. What should I do?" William became even more annoyed as soon as he heard that his grandma couldn't help and was even taunting him.

"I have little money there. Although it is not much, it can help. Take it." Grandma Eva took out a bank card from her own pocket.

Although she had always lived in the countryside, the Carter family paid her monthly household expenses. She basically didn't use much money. So, she saved a sum of money.

"Grandma, how much is the money in this bank card?" William's eyes lit up when he saw Grandma Eva's bank card.

"A few million. You can take it first." Grandma Eva only had so much money. She had intended to save it and then give it to her grandchildren after she died. But in this case, she could only take it out first to help William through it.

"Great! Thank you, grandma! I love you! I can finally not go to jail." William took the card and was instantly brightened.

But after he took the card, he then stared at Addy. Since Grandma Eva had money, Addy must have it too.

"Don't count on her. Her money is just enough for her retirement. Your mother was very strong back then and left the family without taking anything. I'm distressed with her and want to fight for her to get a position in this family." Grandma Eva was a little upset when she saw that William was looking at Addy.

"Thank you, Grandma. Then I'll take it and pay the debt." William was so happy.

William sold his villa, his car, and everything. When everyone thought he would use the money to make up the embezzled public funds, he disappeared from R City with his mistress and son.

When she heard that William disappeared with the money and didn't make up the funds, Grandma Eva was also angry and sick.

Jacob basically did not come back. He bought a small apartment outside to live and did not want to go home. Now, William was also gone.

In this big house, there were only Grandma Eva and Addy. They both felt sad.

"Grandma, you deserve it. You know what a man William is. But you still give him your pension. Now, he took the money and ran away. We can't even replace him. What did I become? I become an outcast. I hate you all. I hate the Carter family. You have to pay me compensation!" Sophia was raising a rumpus in the house.
