When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1915 Misappropriating Funds

At that time, Magnus was in the office, completely stressed out.

A while back, he had privately invested in quite a few projects, but they all ended

up in total loss. On top of that, he was left steeped in debt.

It was unclear whether Cecilia had spoken on his behalf or not, but he was determined to marry Chelsea.

Before long, the secretary hurried over and informed him, "Mr. Smith, Mr. Rainsworth has arrived."

"Mr. Rainsworth?"

Upon thinking of Nathaniel, Magnus immediately rose from his seat to greet him.

The moment Nathaniel arrived downstairs, he was greeted by the person he had arranged to assist Magnus.

Nathaniel inquired about the management of the branch company, to which the person responded that everything was fine and there were no issues.

Nathaniel nodded solemnly before saying, "You need to tell me everything. Don't hold anything back."

"Absolutely!" The person nodded repeatedly.

Just then, Magnus arrived downstairs and stepped out of the elevator. A full-faced smile spread across his face when he saw Nathaniel. "Nathaniel!"

He was fearful that others wouldn't know he was associated with Nathaniel. He called out loudly, then, laughing, he approached Nathaniel.

"Nathaniel, how come you're here all of a sudden? You could have at least let me know so I could have come out to greet you," he said, his face filled with sincerity.

Nathaniel glanced at him. "Have the finance department send me all the accounts from this period."

"Huh?" Magnus was taken aback, but he quickly nodded. "All right. I'll get right on it."

As Magnus made his way to the finance department, a sense of fear crept into his heart. As soon as Nathaniel gets here, he wants to check the accounts. Could he have found out about my private affairs?

Magnus was nervous. After calling the finance department, he didn't forget to ring up Cecilia. He wanted to touch base and see if Cecilia had any idea what Nathaniel was up to.

Just in case Nathaniel really decided to go after him, he could conveniently seek help from Cecilia.

However, when the call was made, it went unanswered.

"Why aren't you picking up the phone? Are you busy or something?" Magnus was baffled.

On the other side, Cecilia watched as her phone began to ring, promptly silencing

it.

She knew that Nathaniel must have gone to deal with matters concerning Magnus at that moment.

She couldn't afford to indulge Magnus anymore, so she simply acted as if she hadn't heard his call.

Magnus couldn't get through to Cecilia over the phone, which was followed by his secretary informing him, "Mr. Smith, Mr. Rainsworth has asked for you in the CEO's office. He has questions for you." noveldrama

"All right. Okay. I'm going right away."

Magnus could only tuck his phone into his pocket as he made his way to the CEO's office.

Inside the office, Nathaniel settled himself in Magnus' spot, perusing the recent accounts.

With a mere glance, he immediately noticed some issues with the accounts.

As soon as Magnus arrived, Nathaniel showed him no courtesy, tossing the account book right in front of him.

"Why are there tens of millions unaccounted for in the financial records?" Nathaniel questioned.

Magnus feigned ignorance. "What? Could it be that the finance department made

a mistake in the accounts?"

Nathaniel knew he would play dumb.

"How could you not be aware of it? It's hard for me to trust you with the company," Nathaniel said, his tone steady and unruffled.

Magnus was no match for him, promptly clarifying, "Nathaniel, please don't be upset. There seems to be some misunderstanding. I'll check with the finance department later and-"

He hadn't even finished speaking when Nathaniel abruptly interrupted him.

“Let's keep this professional. Don't regard me as your brother-in-law. I'm your superior now, and you should report your work to me properly."

Magnus lacked business acumen, yet he was blissfully unaware of bis shortcomings. He was overly ambitious and optimistic,

wholeheartedly believing in his

ability to succeed.

Therefore, he completely disregarded the risks and made all sorts of investments.

He ended up misappropriating the few tens of millions that were missing from the account.

"Well... Mr. Rainsworth, I invested in a few projects a while back and

unfortunately, I suffered some losses."
