Seeing this, Lyra said, "Yes, Mr. Scott. We need you to stabilize the situation here. I'll go to Mavy out."

"Alright," Philip agreed.

Meanwhile, Maeve sat in the interrogation room for a long time. No one had come to question her, but she had been locked in this enclosed room for a full three hours.

Maeve checked the time and lightly tapped on the table. Immediately, a guard came in. "Ms. Scott, do you want some water?TM

"How long do you plan to keep me here?" Maeve asked directly.

The guard looked uneasy. "Are you tired? Do you need some rest?"

Maeve changed her question. "Who reported me?"

"Sorry, that's confidential. We can't tell you that," the guard replied...

Maeve frowned slightly. They wouldn't harm her, given Zion's influence. But they also wouldn't let her go easily.

She couldn't help but worry about what was happening outside.

"I want to make a phone call."

"Ms. Scott, you're currently in the interrogation stage. You can't make phone calls."

Maeve tapped the table again, her patience wearing thin. "Are you going to start quest

questioning me or not?"

Seeing Meeve's anger, the guard quickly apologized. "Since there's an ongoing investigation, no one has come to question you yet. If you're tired, we can arrange a room for you to rest." "A room? You mean a cell?" Maeve's voice grew colder.

The guard fell silent.

"Get the person in charge here,"

Marve

demanded. "I'll give you half an hour. If I don't see them, my lawyer will sue you."

Realizing she was serious, the guard hurried out to fetch someone. Maeve wasn't just anyone. She had a powerful legal team behind her.

If the situation escalated, it could become a major issue.

In no time, Richard Carter hurried over.

Maeve had met Richard once before. She smirked and said, "Mr. Carter."

Richard wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied, "Ms. Scott"

"Ms. Scott, this has nothing to do with me. The report came from higher up, and I had no choke but to bring you in."

Richard sounded sincere. Maeve asked, "Then you must know who made the report, right?

"Well... I don't know. The caller used a voice changer and reported from a public phone, so we can't tell if it was a man or woman.

Richard seemed truthful, and he looked troubled. "Ms. Scott, there's something I need to tell you."

"Mr. Carter, given the situation, you can just say it."

"As soon as this came up, I had my team investigate. The problem is, there are indeed issues with the Scott Group's accounts... and there's a one-billion-dollar discrepancy." Maeve's expression turned serious,

A one-billion-dollar discrepancy? How could she not have noticed such a massive gap in the Scott Group

s accounts before?

"Of course, I'm not saying this one billion has anything to do with you, but as the legal representative of the Scott Group, you'll be held accountable when things go wrong"

Mere's voice was cold as she replied, "I understand what you're implying, Mr. Carter. But whether I embezzled funds or illegally transterred. company assets should be something your team can verify."

"The investigation is ongoing. But for now, Ms. Scott, we need you to stay here for a few days."

"A few days? It seems you truly consider me a criminal, Mr. Carter."
