Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Investigation!
Just as Caleb Robert was feeling a bit puzzled, a few of White’s soldiers, following standard procedure, walked directly into Sana Robert’s office to carry out a routine search.

Seeing this, Lincoln Robert couldn’t help but fuel the fire again: “Look everyone, Northern Territory’s personnel are here, Sana must have done something scandalous.

How could such a person take over our Robert Group?

Everyone, think carefully…”

However, to Lincoln’s surprise, this time, no one believed his words.

His image in everyone’s eyes had evidently plummeted, and they were too apathetic even to spare him a glance.

Lincoln was infuriated and immediately couldn’t help but shoot a vicious glare at White Mitchell.

But at this moment, White Mitchell didn’t bother about him and nonchalantly followed the others into Sana’s office.

Soon, the search action was over, and everything was intact.

“It’s okay. Everyone doesn’t need to panic. It was just a routine search. Now it’s over, you all can disperse.” The lead soldier of White’s team spoke.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their guilty eyes turned toward Sana.

They had almost misunderstood Sana because of Lincoln’s manipulation.

Unexpectedly, Sana, a young girl, was burdened with such tremendous pressure behind the scenes.

Lincoln was, after all, Sana’s flesh and blood. The taste of being betrayed by one’s own relative must be unbearable.

The more everyone thought, the guiltier they felt. For a while, Sana’s image in everyone’s mind grew towering.

Meanwhile, in the managing director’s office, seeing the departing soldiers, Caleb Robert’s brows instantly furrowed in deep thought.

“What’s going on? Didn’t find it? Didn’t you say that everything was prepared?” Caleb looked at his secretary standing next to him, disapproval seeping through his cold voice.

The secretary immediately defended herself: “Honestly, Mr. Anthony, I personally put those things in. There’s absolutely no mistake.

Could it be that the safe was too well hidden, so Northern Territory’s personnel didn’t find it?”

Didn’t find it?

Caleb frowned and immediately said: “Come with me. This time, no matter what, we can’t let Sana get away that easily!”

This…

The secretary’s heart skipped a beat hearing these words.

Wasn’t this making her personally testify against Sana? And face to face. This was tantamount to admitting the fact that she had betrayed her.

Don’t forget, there’s White Mitchell by Sana’s side.

She vividly remembered how he had dealt with Lincoln. If he did the same to her, wouldn’t she be in for a tough time?

The more the secretary thought, the more nervous she felt. But at this time, Caleb gave her no chance to refuse. He swung open the office door and pulled her out.

“Sir, please hold on, I have some information to share.” Caleb walked quickly to the front, blocking the path of the soldiers who were about to leave.

Seeing this, White Mitchell’s lips curled up into an almost imperceptible smile, and he pretended to know nothing. Standing quietly on the side, ready for the show to begin.

At this moment, Caleb directly pulled out the secretary and spoke righteously: “Sir, there are some things that I, as an elder brother, shouldn’t say, but, I am an upstanding citizen, and some things, I really can’t tolerate.

This here is Sana’s personal secretary, who told me about some scandalous affairs of Sana’s, and that she had hidden some information. Originally, I wasn’t going to disclose it, but, my conscience won’t allow me to keep silent.

Today, I must do this against the wishes of our ancestors, and act against kin for the sake of justice!”

With that said, Caleb directly pushed the secretary forward, hinting her to reveal everything she knew.

“Aurora? You?” Seeing Aurora, a look of utter surprise emerged on Sana’s face.

She had doubted many people, but the one she had never doubted was her secretary, who had been by her side for five or six years.

She treated Aurora better than any other employee. In her eyes, Aurora wasn’t just a secretary. She was a friend, a confidante with whom Sana shared everything.

But she never could have imagined that Aurora would also betray her.

For a moment, Sana’s facial expression froze. She stood rooted to the spot, as if she had lost her soul.

At this moment, Aurora could not bear to meet Sana’s gaze. She hadn’t expected things to escalate to this point.

Originally, she thought she could hide behind the scenes and wouldn’t have to appear on the surface.

Unexpectedly, Caleb directly pushed her into the spotlight.

At this point, she had no other retreat. Now, she could only continue to stay in Robert Group if Sana was entirely toppled.

Otherwise, Sana would never let her go.

With that thought, Aurora steeled herself and said to the lead soldier: “Sir, Mr. Anthony is right. I did notice some unusual behavior from Sana. I also found that she was hiding firearms and often contacted foreign individuals using a foreign language.

She would speak words related to ‘murder’, ‘assassination’ and such. I don’t know much about the specifics.

But I know that she puts some important files in her safe. Maybe, you can have a look.”

“Nonsense! Aurora, I have treated you well, why are you doing this to me?” Sana said, somewhat frantically. Her words were filled with disappointment towards Aurora.

Upon hearing this, Aurora guiltily turned her face away, and then gritted her teeth and continued to slander Sana: “Missy, you have treated me well, but, I, Aurora, am also a law-abiding person, and I truly can’t bear to see you making one mistake after another.

If you want me to pretend as if I see nothing, I really can’t do it, and my conscience won’t allow me to do so either.”

Conscience?

Hearing this word, Sana laughed abruptly. There was a hint of sadness in her laughter: “Do you still have a conscience? Doesn’t your conscience hurt? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs!?”

Aurora felt ashamed, but for the sake of her own future, she still chose to betray Sana.

At this moment, the soldier leading the team looked at Sana and directly said: “Miss Robert, please open your safe. We will check it.”

Hearing this, Sana couldn’t help but glance at White Mitchell and then at Caleb and Aurora: “Your conspiracy will likely fail!”
