Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 518

All of a sudden, Andy’s forehead wrinkled into a frown. “The investigation team What do they want?” 

“Um… They said it’s about the Sullivan Group.” The assistant could only shake her head, confused as to why the investigator team would suddenly come to the Bennet Group. Moreover, it was definitely strange that it had something to do with the Sullivan Group.

“Where are they?” Despite their unease, Rachel still sounded calm. 

“They’re in the conference room on the 11th floor.” The assistant stood straight, yet she couldn’t stop wringing her hands. Rachel then checked the time on her phone and learned it was almost noon. For some reason, she could just surmise that their unexpected visitors had just finished their investigation in Sullivan Group and come here right after that. 

“Ask someone to prepare coffee for the investigation team. You go and tell them I’ll meet them with Andy in ten minutes,” Rachel instructed her assistant the way she usually did. Even though the assistant nodded, worry still lingered in her eyes. 

“Miss Bennet, will they-”

 “Everything will be fine.” Rachel smiled at her assistant without a trace of alarm. Fortunately, the assistant took it as a sign that she shouldn’t worry. After all, if Rachel wasn’t concerned, then she must already know how to deal with them. She calmed down a little and left the office to carry out her tasks. 

When the assistant was no longer in sight, Andy looked at Rachel and found how calm and composed she seemed. 

“Were you already aware that they would come here?”

“No.”

“But you…” It wasn’t until then that Andy came to his senses. Just now, Rachel pretended to be calm so her assistant wouldn’t panic. He suddenly looked more serious. 

“Those guys are always cautious. They won’t make a move so easily without evidence, but now they’re here. I’m afraid they didn’t come empty-handed,” Of course, Rachel also knew that. 

“But if it has something to do with the Sullivan Group, why would they involve us? Bennet Group has no business dealings with them.” 

Andy kept going as if he was thinking loudly. He tried to piece things together, but he couldn’t find an answer.

 “Shares.” Rachel immediately figured out what was going on.

 Andy tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.

 “Victor held forty-five percent of the Bennet Group shares around six years ago. That’s why they came here,” Rachel explained patiently. 

“They’re looking for the source of those shares.” 

“Shares? Weren’t the shares under Victor’s own name? The shares had nothing to do with Sullivan Group. Neither Sullivan Group or Bennet Group should be subject to investigation. Not to mention, he had atrundy returned all the shares to the Bennet family two years later.” 

Indeed, if Victor had bought the shares out of his own pocket, then it was a legitimate investment that belonged to his personal properties. Therefore, it shouldn’t warrant an investigation. 

However, it he purchased those shares with ill-gotten gains, that would be a different story. Although Rachel didn’t have extensive knowledge of wheeling and dealing associated with business, the methods were all pretty standard. It would seem that whatever was about to surface in their meeting with the investigators involved a frame-up. 

“What if someone wants those shares to be traced back to Sullivan Group?” Rachel Lowered her eyes. At this point, there were a hundred things running in her mind. “Someone? Like who?”

The question reminded Rachel they had to get going, so she slid her phone into her pocket and started walking. As a matter of fact, she already had an idea of who it could be, but she chose to keep it to herself for now. 

“It isn’t news that some people want to see Sullivan Group fall down so they can reap profits for their own gains.”

 “I see.” Andy might be the Bennet Group’s lawyer, but he only had to deal with the daily operations of the company. Although they hadn’t had much progress in the last four years, everything was well and stable. He had yet to encounter problems of this size.
