The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Ellia and her assistants sorted out the audits in Christian’s study, explaining to them how it was arranged.And they started going through the stacks together. Russell somehow managed to convince his motherand Lucianne that he’ll be a good, quiet little boy doing his homework at a small corner table in the studywhile the adults around him worked. Xandar didn’t mind since he was far away enough from Lucianne. 2

Since Ellia, Brigetta and Oliver were blackmailed into fabricating the audits without question, they neverdared to scrutinize how the funds in the five people’s accounts were connected to each other. They werejust told to change the figures so that the amounts resembled those of other government officials. (Thisnovel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)In essence, the analysis on the real audits had to nowstart from scratch. After comparing the audits, they found a pattern in the incoming and outgoingtransactions of the five people in Ellia’s list. 1

Every month for the past eighteen years, large sums of money would be deposited into the five people’sbank accounts. But the money did not come from a government account. The money that was channeledinto the five people’s accounts came from twenty different bank accounts. So it would seem that thegovernment funds were first deposited into the twenty different bank accounts, then transferred to thefive people on the list.

What was odd was this: on a rotation basis, four of the five people in the list would transfer twentypercent of the siphoned sums to a company. The fifth person would transfer forty percent to the samecompany. Each person on the list would take turns being this fifth person to transfer forty percent everymonth

As for the company they transferred the money to, it changed every five years. For the first five years, itwas to Rénova & Co. In the subsequent five years, it was to Hanabell Poll & Co. In the following five

years, it was to a firm called Tellilla & Associates. And in the final three years and early this year, themoney was transferred to Wu Bi Corporation. Brigetta and Annie looked up the names of thesecompanies. The first three didn’t exist. The most recent one, Wu Bi Corporation, had more than tensubsidiary companies, which in turn had further subsidiaries. The chain was long and seemingly infinite.

When Annie made everyone pause to take a break while she, Christian and Oliver went to the kitchen toget everyone a snack, Lucianne went to stand in front of the huge window in the study and stared intospace. Xandar approached his mate and joined her at the window. His hand rested on her shoulder, andhis thumb started drawing comforting circles on her skin as he desperately tried to ease her tension.

He linked in a low, ominous tone, ‘Looks like you were right. There is someone we don’t know yet.’

‘I prefer to be wrong about this.’

He kissed her temple before continuing, ‘We’ll replace out who it is…or who they are. We’re

making good progress already. We’ll figure it out.’

‘I know that. I just…hope that we’ll figure everything out before anyone gets hurt.’ Lucianne looked atRussell, who was concentrating on his homework before she linked, ‘We promised t o protect them,Xandar. I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to any of them.’

“Hey, come here.”Xandar said soothingly and pulled her into a hug as he whispered, “They’ll b e safehere. We’ll catch these culprits before anything happens.” He kissed her forehead, and when they turnedback to everyone in the room, Lucianne dropped her worried look, replacing it with a calm demeanor.

Christian, Annie and Oliver re-entered the room carrying trays of cupcakes and pudding.(This novel willbe daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Russell’s eyes snapped up when he saw the food and he lookedat his mother, as if asking for her permission. Ellia gave him an approving nod, granting him permission.And Russell smiled radiantly as he left his homework and ran towards the snacks.

He took two cupcakes from the tray and ran towards Lucianne. He lifted one of the cupcakes u p in herdirection. Lucianne smiled and accepted the cupcake from Russell before pecking a kiss on his foreheadand thanking him. The little boy was on cloud nine as he dashed back to his mother’s side to tell her thatAunt Lucy gave him another kiss.

Knowing how Xandar would react, Lucianne pecked a kiss on his cheek after Russell left. Xandar’sannoyed face turned soft, and he pecked a kiss on her nose before they joined the others on the couch,with Lucianne seated on his lap. 1

The families seem to be replaceing it easier to be around the royal family, and they spoke and laughed morefreely than when they first arrived. Lucianne and Xandar helped Annie send the trays back to the kitchen.Russell followed closely behind, carrying two emptied cups as h e followed the adults. He refused toleave the kitchen until the three adults he followed made their way back to the study.

They continued looking into Wu Bi Corporation. On the internet, the corporation was registered as beinga textile manufacturer. However, there is no such brand in the clothing market. They then thought thatthe corporation manufactured fabrics and clothing for other brands and companies. But to their dismay,there was also no such information to confirm their thoughts. The corporation’s business dealings wereconfidential so no one knew who it was doing business with. Xandar and Christian said they had to pull afew strings to dig deeper into Wu Bi. That evening, there was nothing more anyone could do.

After bidding their goodbyes, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Lucianne, Xandarand Christian left to attend dinner in the dining hall. When Lucianne wasn’t looking, Christian mind-linkedXandar, shooting his cousin and best friend a sad but grateful smile before getting into his car. Xandarreturned his smile but the King himself was sad too.

He got into his own car where Lucianne was already waiting for him and started the engine. Xandarstarted pondering on the pes

lering on the best way to tell his mate what Christian had just told him. It

wasn’t something that he, Christian or Annie liked to bring up but Lucianne was practically family.well,family-to-be if one wants to get technical…and optimistic. Even so, she had the right to know.
