He was stunned for two seconds, and then frowned unhappily.
“What are you doing here?” As he spoke, his eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion.
“Finally!! I’ve been waiting for you for so damn long.
You hung up on me, so I had no choice but to come here.
Can you please keep your woman in line? She won’t stop harassing me! If it weren’t for all the money you promised to give me, I would’ve taught her a hard lesson by now!” Tasha seemed so angry that she gritted her teeth and wagged her finger at Seth.
When in reality, she was only acting.
“She’s still young. Just cut her some slack, will you?” Seth put down the documents in his hands and glanced around the office.
His devices all had passwords.
Even if Tasha wanted to do something, she wouldn’t have succeeded.
Besides, he doubted Tasha would try to do anything sinister, like stealing valuable information from him.
“Are you really going to just stand by and watch until she kills my baby?” Tasha was very dissatisfied with his dismissive attitude.
Seth frowned and pressed the spot between his brows.
Women were such troublesome creatures.
“l’ll talk to her tonight. Satisfied? Now, get out!” he snapped impatiently.
This was exactly what Tasha wanted.
She successfully got everything she came for.
“You’d better keep your word. I don’t want to come here a second time!” Tasha cast him a resentful glance, pretending to be annoyed, and then left ina hurry.
Instead of going back to the Klein family home, Tasha went straight to the cafe, where she was to rendezvous with Sebastian.
When she arrived, Sebastian was already there, waiting for her.
He was sitting at a table and had ordered a cup of decaf latte for her.
“All the information in Seth’s computer is here.” Tasha handed the flash drive to him.
Sebastian slipped the small drive into his pocket and nodded in satisfaction.
“Thank you.” After saying that, he stood up to leave.
“If there is really evidence of him doing illegal things in here, I’ll sue him before the month ends.
But be warned: he’ll probably feel suspicious of you after receiving the indictment.
“Be careful.” Tasha sipped from her cup of coffee and nodded seriously.
Sebastian returned to the Larson Group with the flash drive.
After handing the drive to the technical staff to decode the data in it, they soon found something of interest.
Sebastian called the senior executives and the lawyers to a meeting that night.
As expected, they found a lot of evidence of Seth’s crimes.
After getting everything ready, Sebastian filed a case against Seth.
Seth received the indictment from the court exactly three days later.
“Goddammit, Sebastian!” It was the first time that Seth had lost his cool like this.
He went crazy and smashed everything in his office to vent his anger.
He knew that Sebastian would never sue him without any hard evidence.
But both his computer and the company’s safe were password- protected, and only he knew the passwords.
Of course, someone might’ve be able to get their hands on the data in other ways, but how did Sebastian’s men get inside his office? Seth couldn’t figure it out.
In the end, there was only one possibility left: there was a mole in the company.
The Trial With a dangerous look in his eyes, Seth made a phone call.
“Call all our senior eXecutives here. Now,” he hissed into the receiver.
When all the senior executives were “.c,o.m” present, Seth asked someone to investigate their bank account records.
He thought that he would definitely find the mole.
Sebastian had collected solid evidence against them, which was extremely disadvantageous to Seth.
He had to come up with a plan.
He refused to lose to Sebastian so easily.
At the very least, he had to find the mole who had betrayed him.
But two days later, the investigation turned up fruitless.
None of their senior executives had anything to do with the Larson Group.
Plus, they all knew that it was a sensitive time for both companies, so everyone had been avoiding contact with people from the Larson Group.
Seth had also checked and double-checked the company’s surveillance footage, but didn’t find anything suspicious.
Seth pursed his lips, feeling that he had missed something, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.
The in-house nutritionists and servants of the Klein family had been taking good care of Tasha these days.
And her belly was slowly getting bigger and bigger with each day that passed.
The weather was getting hot lately, but she still had a good appetite and had eaten a hearty lunch today.
After finishing her food, Tasha went to the garden to relax.
No one knew what was on her mind as she stared into the distance, lost in thought, stroking her belly absentmindedly.
“Mrs. Klein, have some fruits.” The servant brought Tasha a tray full of sliced fruits and set it on the table.
However, Tasha was not in the mood to eat.
She had heard that Seth already received the indictment from Sebastian and was discussing with his lawyer how to deal with it.
“Don’t forget to tell me when Seth comes back.” Tasha reminded, leaning into her chair with her eyes closed.
She tried her best not to look nervous and recalled that day step by step, trying to find out if she had left anything that might’ve pointed to her.
The only thing suspicious about her that day was that she had asked Seth’s assistant to turn off the CCTV camera in his office.
But the Klein family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and that was all the more reason for Seth’s assistant to keep his mouth shut.
If word got out that he was the one who had turned off the CCTV in Seth’s office, he’d definitely have to take the fall.
Now, there was nothing Tasha could do but wait for the trial.
A week later, the trial began.
Tasha attended the trial as a member of Seth’s family.
They hadn’t seen “.c,o.m” each other in a few days, and Seth looked much more haggard than before.
His five o’clock shadow made him age ten years.
Tasha was secretly overjoyed to see him in such a mess.
Suppressing a smug smile, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Julia, who was sitting a few rows ahead of her.
She too looked like a mess.
She was crying so hard that she kept wiping her tears and blowing her nose into a tissue.
Seth wasn’t all that unlucky.
At least in this trial, there was someone who sincerely hoped he could win.
Tasha withdrew her sight and subconsciously placed her hand on her rounded belly.
Her fate, as well as the child’s, depended on the outcome of today’s trial.
Soon, the judge came in and announced the beginning of the trial.
Because of all the solid evidence stacked against Seth, Sebastian won without a shadow of a doubt.
Seth was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment.
Of course, Seth couldn’t accept such a fate.
He looked calm, but his bloodshot eyes and trembling fingers exposed his panic.
Holding onto hope, he filed an appeal, but the original sentencing was maintained in the second and final trial.
When the final judgment came, Seth nearly broke down on the spot.
Tasha had attended both trials.
It was the first time in her life that she had seen Seth bowing his head.
