Chapter 1348 Getting to Know Her Again

"There's nothing to say. The records I found only cover the past year. You are so skilled that this must

not be your first offense, Mr. Maxwell." Athena's tone was cold and aloof. "Mr. Crawford may have

noticed, but out of respect for Mr. Brad Maxwell, he didn't do anything to you. If you didn't target my

husband's company and tried to remove me from the management of Imbe Group, I wouldn't have

come after you. Mr. Maxwell, haven't you heard the saying, 'Treat me well, and I'll treat you well in

return'?"

As her words fell, the door was pushed open.

Martin entered with a few people.

The shareholders at the meeting were familiar with Martin.

Wherever Byron went, he would follow.

Privately, everyone liked to call him Byron's executioner or Byron's knife.

"Mr. Maxwell, come with us. The economic investigators have been waiting for you." Martin beckoned

to Carl and shouted provocatively, full of disdain.

"Economic investigators?" Carl looked at Athena in shock. "Mrs. Crawford, are you being this ruthless?

Do you want to destroy my future?"

Athena raised her chin and glanced at the people in the conference room. "Everyone present, even

those who used to be part of Imbe Group and Crawford Group, might not know much about me. Today,

taking advantage of this opportunity, I want everyone to understand my style and methods."

After saying that, she looked at Carl. "Strictly speaking, from my perspective, this can't even be

considered ruthless. Of course, Mr. Maxwell, if you want to experience how ruthless I can be, continue

causing trouble for me."

A chill ran down Carl's spine.

Liam sneered, "Mr. Carl Maxwell, you've been greedy for so much money. Don't you think your actions

were ruthless? Now you have to pay the price. Just because of this, how can you think Mrs. Crawford

is ruthless? You should know your fate if Mr. Crawford were handling this matter."

Carl trembled uncontrollably.

He had considered before that he might fail in forcing her to step down today.

But it didn't matter if he failed.

After all, Byron was already dead. What kind of waves could a woman like her create?

At this moment, for Imbe Group, stability was the most crucial.

Therefore, he was convinced that even if things got out of hand, she would probably end up making a

big deal into a small matter!

But little did he know, Athena wasn't playing by the rules at all!

"You let go of my son! He's innocent!" Carl gritted his teeth.

"Innocent? His fancy sports car, luxurious mansion, the models he dates, the expensive restaurants he

frequents, none of that is innocent," Athena replied coldly with a smirk, "Don't worry. I'm a legitimate

businesswoman and will not harm your son. The economic investigation department will extradite him

back for such a big case and allow you and your son to be reunited."

Seeing that he wasn't moving, Martin lost his patience and strode over, grabbing and pulling him

towards the exit.

And at this moment, the entire conference room fell into a stunned silence.

Whether familiar with Athena or not, everyone was too afraid to utter a word.

Everyone was pondering in their minds.

Did the money they embezzled pose a threat to the company's interests?

"Next." Athena's pleasant voice rang out again, sounding like a devil whispering.

"Mrs. Crawford, I... Carl deceived me!" Donne suddenly stood up, putting on a show and shifting the

blame to Carl.

Athena looked at him as if she didn't hear his blame-shifting. "Since you've stood up, then it must be

you next. Let's see, Donne..."

"Mrs. Crawford!!" Donne exclaimed, "I know I was wrong! I will immediately have my wife return the

money I embezzled and make up for it! I know scum like me doesn't deserve to stay. I'll sell my shares

to you immediately and leave the company. I beg you to show mercy this time!"
