Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 516

Wallace put the iPad away, put on a straight face and said, “I understand, Mr. Scott. Worry not. I’ll keep an eye on it. If anything unusual happens, I’ll report it immediately.” 

Carson patted him on the shoulder and replied, “Thank you.”

A worried look washed over Wallace’s face. “It’s my job, isn’t it? Anyway, did the investigation team say anything?And what about Mr. Sullivan?” 

Realizing that he had asked too many questions, he shook his head. 

“It’s fine if you can’t talk about it right now. I’m just worried.” Carson removed his hand from Wallace’s shoulder.

 “It’s fine, Wallace. Even if we don’t tell you, you’ll find out sooner or later.”

Having heard that, Wallace realized that they were in big trouble. He glanced at Ivan, and then he darted his eyes back to Carson. After a moment of silence, Ivan broke his silence. 

“The investigation team has found that there’s something amiss about the purchasing contract of the Baltimore project. It was a dual contract, and there was a great deal of difference between the prices of the two contracts. The purchasing director was the one in charge of almost every step of the purchasing process. If he were able to explain it clearly, perhaps it wouldn’t be so troublesome.” 

Now Wallace finally understood the situation. 

“But the person in charge is dead.” Carson nodded.

 “There aren’t any witnesses or testimonies. Even though we didn’t know about the dual contract, we signed it, which means we’re responsible for this whole farce. There are other projects that have similar problems, and they’re still under further investigation. If the investigation team discovers something wrong, they’ll probe even further. They’re currently keeping a close eye on Victor at the hospital, making sure that he won’t run away.” 

“What if they find nothing wrong?” Wallace frowned. 

“All of this happened because of the people below us. Mr. Sullivan is dealing with lots of contracts every single day, and maybe he didn’t notice the problems. The investigation team won’t convict him for that, right?”
