“Something like that,” Ariana said. She continued, “Don’t alert them of this just yet We need to slowly collect evidence. The way that they embezzled the company’s funds has undoubtedly affected the shareholders‘ returns “Wait until we’ve got enough evidence and have gotten rid of their contacts in the company. That’ll be the time when we send them to prison.”

Miranda stared at Ariana for a long while. She finally said, “Ms. Torrey, you seem different from before.”

The Ariana Miranda used to know was smart, too, but she didn’t know anything about the business industry or how things ran. However, after hearing what Arlana had to say, Miranda figured that it made a lot of sense.

“I’ll help you, Ms. Torrey. I won’t let bad apples like Mrs. Torrey or Mr. Wagner continue causing more harm to the company.”

“Alright.”

“However…”

Miranda trailed off, hesitating before she continued, “Although Mr. Wagner had been exaggerating things a little, it’s still true that Lodge Co. has been specifically targeting Torrey Co. lately, especially today.”

“Today?”

Miranda nodded. “Today, they withdrew funding for many of our projects, and we’re now running short on cash flow. It’s hard enough for us to continue without the funding from them, but after the finance department came out with the reports, we

Emily was speechless. “Yes, Mr. Lodge.”

She then excused herself from his office and turned to leave, Brian suddenly thought of something and stopped her. “Stop right there!”

“Is there anything else, Mr. Lodge?
