Chapter 188

“Ms. Emmerson, Tommy has paid back the money he owed this time. I don’t know where he got so much money, but he borrowed again Billy’s voice traveled over the phone. Angeline wasn’t surprised. Tommy must have used the funds that were meant for the production of that batch of drugs.
After all, she had specially instructed Billy to remind Tommy to use those funds first and return the money when he won it back from gambling. No one would know.
Tommy hadn’t had the guts to do so the last time, so he had chosen to steal the prescription.
Angeline hadn’t made a fuss out of that because she wanted Tommy to feel that he was safe whilst in the grip of his gambling addiction. That way, he could be forced into a corner again.
As long as Tommy was in a desperate situation, he would think about using that money even without Billy mentioning it. He would think that he would be able to win it back at gambling and just return the money quietly.
That was the typical gambler’s mindset.
Angeline wanted to use this mindset of Tommy’s and leave no way out for both him and Yates Group. At the same time, she wanted to drag Ned and Fletcher Corporation down, too.
When she thought of how Ned had saved Tommy, who was the instigator behind Henrietta’s murder, she was determined to make them feel the same rage and helplessness that she had felt. “Alright. Thank you for your help over this period, Billy!” said Angeline, smiling.
“Don’t mention it, Ms. Emmerson. It’s the least I can do! I offended you because I was ignorant, but you begged for leniency for me in front of Mr. Swenson. That’s the only reason I’m alive, and I won’t forget that I’m indebted to you,” Billy said hurriedly.
After hanging up, Angeline waited quietly for Ned to realize that the money in Yates Group’s account had been embezzled by Tommy.
She wanted to see how Ned would try to mend this hole for Yates Group, for Fletcher Corporation was also in a difficult financial situation.
And there was Ingrid.
Angeline wondered if Ingrid would help her uncle’s family.
Just as Angeline had expected, Yates Group soon discovered that the money in their account was gone.
Tommy had transferred the money in several batches.
When Henry caught him, he realized that Tommy had lost close to one hundred million at the casino.
Upon hearing the news, Henry fainted in rage and was sent to hospital.
Ingrid immediately applied for leave from her production team and rushed back to Oceanford. The moment she arrived at the hospital, Tommy went down on his knees in front of her.

“Ingrid! You have to save me this time! I… I just felt that I could win it all back at the gaming table. That was why was bold enough to embezzle the money. My dad… My dad said that he’s sending me to prison, or he’ll never be able to face Ned! Ingrid, you have to save me!”
Ingrid had already found out about everything on her way there. She was trembling with anger.
“How could you gamble? When you called me to ask for money, was that for gambling too?”
Tommy nodded hesitantly. “Yes
“Tommy!” Ingrid clutched her chest.
“Are you nuts? One hundred million! How could you? You know that Fletcher Corporation gave Yates Group this order to help us and to share the profits with us! Ned signed a contract with Vitality Biotech Group! If we can’t manufacture this batch of drugs, we’ll have to pay an enormous sum of liquidated damages!”
