Chapter 302 Fraud

Joshua was in a bad mood, drinking alone in the bedroom.

He kept drinking, and at some point, he blacked out.

He was woken up by the ringtone of his phone.

It was already broad daylight outside the window. He got up from the bed in a daze. It took him a long time to

collect himself before picking up the phone on the ground.

When he picked up the phone, the other party had already hung up.

He had more than a dozen missed calls, all from Alex.

He called Alex back. Before he could ask what had happened, Alex had already said in a panic, "Mr. Maltz,

something bad has happened. The people in charge of KKL Group suddenly disappeared today. When I looked up

the information about the company online, there was nothing left!" In an instant, Joshua regained his senses.

He organized what Alex had just said and tried to calm himself down. "Send someone to check their hotel and

departure records now. I'm going back to the office right away!"

After instructing Alex, he grabbed his coat and hurried out the door without changing his clothes.

When he arrived at the office, Alex immediately filled him in on the other details of KKL Group and Roland's

identity fraud.

"That man, Roland, is a famous swindler who has cheated many companies out of money. He seems to have

swindled the boss of Techking Group not long ago.

"This morning, he transferred the money to an overseas account and immediately left the country himself..."

Joshua tried his best to suppress his anger while hearing Alex's report.

Even so, Joshua still gritted his teeth when he spoke.

"Why wasn't this checked out before?"

Alex trembled from Joshua's roar and tentatively explained, "I have advised you before that we have not

conducted field investigation on many patents of KKL Group, and much information has not been verified. I asked

you not to be impulsive, but you..."

Noticing the suffocating silence on the other end of the line, Alex suddenly realized his slip of the tongue and

quickly shut up.

Joshua closed his eyes. His hands were trembling. "Call the police immediately. Use all the resources at our

disposal. Get Roland back!"

100 million dollars was not a small sum even for the Maltz Group.

Of course, Joshua was furious when such a large sum of money vanished just like that!

Joshua thought, Roland, you are doomed. You have no idea what you're doing. How dare you messwith me? No matter where you hide, I'll get you back!

That afternoon, the news of the Maltz Group being defrauded by 100 million dollars spread out andquickly became a trending topic, shocking everyone.

"Gosh! That's a lot of money I can't save even without eating or drinking several lifetimes!"

"Isn't Mr. Maltz a business genius? That's what he's got?"

"Turns out rich people have IQs similar to my grandma's. Oh, she has Alzheimer's."

"Taunting is one thing while dragging your elders into this is another."

"Joshua was defrauded of so much money. How smart. Didn't he check out the other side before hebought the stock?"

"How long has it been since the news about Henry exploded? And now Joshua has been cheated of100 million dollars? The Maltz Group's reputation is so ruined. Who would dare to buy stock in acompany that has been in trouble every few days?"

"You reminded me. With such a big incident today, I am sure that the Maltz Group's stock price will dropdrastically tomorrow. I have to quickly sell my stock."

"You and me both. I'll sell it as well."

"Seconded!"

"Me, too!"

"And me!"

Joshua was on his way to the police station in a car when he read

about the news online.

His face was gloomy, and he kept reading the various pieces of news. After a while, he could not helpbut ask Alex, "What did I say about the blackout? How did this get on the news so fast?"

Alex had been scolded countless times today, and he replied with

trepidation, "I have ordered that this should never be disclosed to the media. I don't know what wentwrong..."

"Useless!"

Joshua scolded and threw the tablet aside. He put his elbows on his

knees and buried his face in his palms.

He thought, if this is not handled properly, in addition to the money loss, the company's credibility willalso be greatly affected. If anything happens again, the company will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Joshua wished to tear Roland into pieces.

He thought, Roland, you damned liar!

When he arrived at the police station, he happened to meet Anaya, who was coming out from inside.

The events of yesterday came back to him. "Why are you here?" He

stopped and blocked her way.

"Riven Group intended to buy KKL Group's stocks at first. We have been affected as well, so I'm hereto take a statement."

Compared to Joshua's slovenly and haggard appearance, Anaya looked much better.

She sized Joshua up, and her lips curved into a smile. "Speaking of

which, Mr. Maltz, thank you for snatching the project from me and helping me avoid such a big risk.

"That is 100 million dollars in liquidity. Mr. Maltz, you are indeed rich. Riven Group would have gonebankrupt." Joshua heard the sarcasm in her words clearly. Yet he could do nothing about it.

He was the one who insisted on getting involved in the project.

He was the one who insisted on buying the shares.

Alex had persuaded him, but he didn't care. He just wanted to teach

Anaya a lesson.

He brought it to himself.

His hands slowly tightened, and his fingertips dug deep into his

palms as if he wanted to hurt himself.

He glanced at Anaya deeply, but in the end, he did not say anything.

He bypassed her and went straight to the police station.

After he left, Anaya returned to her car.

After she got in the car, Tim immediately started the car.

Snow began to fall from the sky, and soon a thin layer of snow gathered on the window sill.

Anaya propped her hand on the inner window edge, looked at the falling snow outside, and unconsciously

hummed a song. She thought, after this, the Maltz family could hardly regain their former glory. In a few days, I'll

send Joshua a few surprises. I'm sure it'll get him busy.

The snow was a little heavy, and the plows had already begun to work.

Last night, Anaya and Hearst had agreed to have dinner together after today's matter.

Before getting off work, Anaya received a call from Hearst, saying that he had something to do at the last minute

and would come to pick her up later.

Anaya said, "You don't have to come over. Yarden will go back to

Canada tomorrow. Aracely asked me to have dinner with her."

Hearst was silent for a moment before asking, "When will you be going home?"

"I might be staying at Aracely's place."

"OK."

Anaya thought that Hearst would ask a few more questions, yet he agreed at once.

She thought, might as well. I don't have to bother making up excuses in such a way.

Ever since the first time, he just doesn't know when to stop. I tried to resist every time, but he always got his way.

I have to go out and hide from him for a few days to resist the temptation.

Anaya picked up a pen on the table and twirled it with her fingertips. "What are you doing now? It sounds to me

like you're outside."

"I'm on my way to meet a client." On the phone, Hearst's voice was as calm as ever. "I'll hang up now. Have fun

tonight."

"OK. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Hearst turned around and looked at the few foreign men who were thrown to the

ground in the snow. The gentleness in his eyes instantly disappeared, and his gaze was sharp like a blade that

had just been unsheathed.
