Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 296

Beverly took out her phone and dialed a number. But the phone didn't get through. Maury was right beside Beverly when she dialed that number. He could clearly hear the mechanical female voice from the phone. "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off... "

Beverly's face turned pale. "It's impossible. Why is it turned off? No way."

At this time, someone from the Tax Bureau came to have a look and said, "You have met a fraud."

Beverly shouted, "How can this be?"

Maury seemed to be unable to support himself and shook a little. He leaned himself on a table beside him. In front of him, Beverly was still explaining with a pale face, "It's not a fraud. How could it be? I invested five million. How could it be?"

The people from the Tax Bureau calmly comforted Beverly, "I have met someone being cheated by a fraud at another company. These two phone numbers are similar. Maybe it's the same group of frauds."

Beverly asked in a daze, "So my five million is gone?"

The person from the Tax Bureau nodded, "Yes, but you can call the police and file a case since it is a large sum of money."

Maury's heart was beating faster than before. He pointed at Beverly and wanted to reprimand her, but he couldn't straighten his own breathing. Suddenly, Maury felt everything in front of him went black, and fell to the ground amidst the shouts.

The accountant was shocked, "Mr. Maury?!"

The people from the Tax Bureau also became nervous and came forward to Maury, "Mr. Maury?"

Only Beverly heaved a sigh of relief and then pretended to be panic, "Darling! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

The sound of an ambulance whistled through the sky above City Y.

Emily sat down below the stage and was enjoying the shows prepared by the employees for the annual meeting. Although more than half of the employees had left, some employees were still unwilling to give up the show they practiced for days. They insisted on presenting it even though there was no audience.

Eliot sat beside Emily. Unlike Emily, who remained calm all the time, Eliot was nervous. Although his eyes were fixed on the stage, Eliot was clearly thinking about other things. Emily knew exactly what was on his mind, but she could not say anything. Emily just poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Eliot.

Normally, it would be a piece of cake for Eliot to notice Emily's difference from usual after some observation. He should have realized that today's Emily was not the one he knew.

Emily didn't laugh at the people's mistakes on the stage along with the group behind her. She didn't show any concern when she felt her brother's bad mood. She acted indifferent and calm. With so many employees gossiping about her father and her stepmother, Emily was still able to drink her water at ease.

Eliot's phone suddenly rang. He quickly answered it. Someone in the phone said something, and Eliot immediately stood up and said, "What? Which hospital?"

Emily's hand stopped when she was drinking water. She had a bad hunch. Sure enough, when she raised her head to look at Eliot, she met with his melancholy gaze as Eliot lowered his head and looked at Emily.

"Father fainted all of a sudden..." Eliot spoke in a horse voice as if he just finished hiking in the desert, "... He is at the City Hospital now."

When Emily and Eliot arrived at the hospital, the light in the emergency room was still on. Beverly quickly wiped away the tears that did not exist and cried to Eliot, "Eliot, you finally came. I am so scared. Your father..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Eliot grabbed her wrist and said, "Mother, did you do it?"

Beverly panicked first but pretended not to understand what Eliot said, "What, what are you talking about?"

"I know it's my fault to escape the taxes, but I also did this for the company. The company needs the money at that time. I thought I did the right thing. Isn't this what other companies would do?" Beverly said anxiously. "And, I invested the money. But when I call my contactor of the company I invested..."

Eliot didn't want to listen to her anymore. He closed his eyes out of disappointment and asked, "Did you have anything to do with father's fainting?"

Beverly took a deep breath and glared at Eliot in disbelief, "What did you say? How is that me? Oh right, it's the money. He fainted because of that money. Maybe he was too angry..."

Eliot suddenly punched on the wall, "Mother, I hope you didn't lie to me. This is the last time..." Eliot gritted his teeth so hard that blood almost came out. "that I will believe you."

Beverly was shocked by Eliot and didn't dare to move. After Eliot left, she gently covered her chest and gasped for breath.
