Chapter 354
That night, Elaina slept very well.
Although her waist was injured, and she occasionally felt pain, it did not affect her sleep. She still slept all the way until dawn.
The next day, when Elaina woke up, she habitually turned on her phone to watch the news.
The Stein family once again went on treading topics, but it was not a good thing. During this period of time, there were endless internal disputes in the Stein family. Monica, who suddenly showed up, disrupted everything, and made everyone overwhelmed. Moreover, Alisha hated Monica’s guts.
On the treading topics were some scandals about Monica, as well as news about the changes in the executives of the Stein Group. Elaina took a look and knew that it was the executive that Monica asked Elaina to investigate for her. He was arrested for embezzlement of public funds.
There was a lot of news, but it was all bad for the Stein Group. It seemed that the Stein family was not stable at this time.
Elaina stretched and was in a good mood early in the morning.
As for the Stein family, what had it got to do with her?
Just as Elaina had guessed, the atmosphere in the Stein family’s manor was solemn.
Monica looked at her father, Johnathon Stein, sitting at the front of the table, and realized that the stern and tall man in her memory had disappeared. At that moment, his hair was graying, and he was already old.
She did not feel the slightest bit of sadness. Instead, she felt that he had brought it upon himself.
If he had not pampered Deven from a young age and doted on him without restraint, Deven would not become such a loser.
She looked at Deven and Alisha on the right and also sneered. She did not take these two people seriously at all.
Deven was good-for-nothing. So what if Alisha was smart? Alisha was not a member of the Stein family and could not get power in the Stein Group.
As long as she could get Johnathon’s favor, the Stein family and the Stein Group would be hers.
“Since you are here, sit down,” Johnathon said. Looking at Monica, who was standing not far away, he realized that this daughter who had left home for many years had changed. She was no longer the innocent little girl.
Monica sat down. “Tell me, why did you call me back?”
If Johnathon had not called her again and again, she would not have bothered to come to this place.
“Have you reported Bennett to the police?” Johnathon asked without beating around the bush.
Bennett Caterall was the person that Monica asked Elaina to investigate, and he was taken away by the police because of embezzlement.
Monica nodded. “Yes, he embezzled public funds and harmed the interests of the Stein Group. Did I do something wrong?”
“I didn’t say you did something wrong,” Johnathon sighed. “We can settle this privately. Why do we need to call the police? We can just ask him to return the money.”
Now, the money was not being returned, and the Stein Group was in scandal. What would those shareholders think?
“Do you think he has money?” Monica rolled her eyes and felt that Johnathon had gone completely gaga.
Johnathon sighed, “Even if he doesn’t have money, you shouldn’t make such a big deal out of it. Don’t you think about how much influence the Stein Group will suffer because of this?”
“You want to let this kind of bastard go because of the influence?” Monica retorted.
What was more, what she wanted was for the Stein Group to be in chaos. The more outrageous the gossip, the better.
Bennett and the others were loyal to Johnathon. If she did not solve these people, how could she bring her own people in?
“Monica, how can you talk to Dad like this?” Deven could not stand it anymore and stood up to blame Monica.
He complained, “Why are you here to fight for the heir? If it was not for you, the Stein family would not be in such a mess now.”
“Sure, if you don’t want the Stein family to be in chaos, then give up the position of heir. This way, everyone will be satisfied. What do you think?” She smiled at Deven, waiting for him to answer.
