Chapter 184

Chapter 184:
Milton clicked his tongue in frustration, took off his suit jacket, and tossed it to Candice.
“Put it on!” he barked.
Stunned, Candice took the jacket and put it on. She thought arguing with Milton now was pointless.
Still lying on the floor, Grady looked up at Candice and began with extreme difficulty, “You…
Candice stepped forward and picked up the contract from the table. It was the one Grady had signed with his two clients.
She waved the papers in front of Grady.
“Mr. Lyons, this contract you just signed implicates you in the crimes of credit capital extortion and usury transfer. According to my investigation, you obtained a total investment of two billion dollars under the pretense of new drug development at Centilength Biotech Company. You fabricated a false excuse to withdraw the loan money from the bank, but instead of using it for research and development as intended, you lent the money to others at a higher interest rate than the bank, seeking profit and advancing your illegal interests. According to the law, you have committed a crime. Given the amount involved, you face imprisonment of no less than three years and no more than seven years, and fines ranging from twice to five times the amount illegally earned.”
Hearing this, Grady felt all the blood drain from his face.
“Who… who the hell are you?”
He had indeed done these things, but he never expected the woman in front of him wasn’t a mere escort. Worse, she knew everything about his misdeeds.
Candice sneered and shook her phone at Grady. “It doesn’t matter who I am. The contract is in my hand, and I recorded this entire conversation just now. When I hand this evidence over to the prosecutor, what do you think your fate will be?”
Frightened, Grady propped himself up on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly.
“Please… please don’t. I’ll do whatever you want. Just don’t turn me in.”

Playing with the document in her hand, Candice demanded, “Send me all information on the product research and development of Centilength Biotech Company within three days. Email it to this address. Everything. Otherwise…”
She deliberately left the sentence unfinished and threw the piece of paper with her email address at Grady.
Still consumed by debilitating fear, Grady wondered if Candice was a business competitor. But that didn’t matter now. His priority was to save himself.
So he hurriedly promised, “Okay. You got it.”
“Get out! Go on! Out!” Milton shouted angrily, raising his fist.
Startled, Grady stumbled out of Room 308.
Candice breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally succeeded in making Grady comply with her demands. Her plans had almost been derailed by Milton, but fortunately, she achieved her goal. After a brief pause, she put the document away.
When she looked up, she was met with Milton’s angry glare.
His eyes were so intense that anyone would be intimidated. The tension in the room thickened as they both remained silent for nearly ten minutes. Candice felt her uneasiness grow with each passing second.
