My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1001

Vincent sneered. “Judging by the amount of tax you’ve evaded, the court will probably sentence you to a few years in jail. You’d be just as ashamed to meet the ancestors of the Mitchell Family since you’d be the first of the Mitchells to have ever gotten a jail sentence because of tax evasion!” He furiously ended her call. Other members of the Mitchell Family called him after that, but he didn’t pick any of the calls up.

Vincent wasn’t exactly a righteous or virtuous man, but he valued his pride. He never liked watching Sandra’s shameless acts of evading her taxes, and he knew that she wouldn’t be the only one to bear the responsibility of the issue if she were to get caught—the entire Mitchell Family would be dragged through the mud.

Wealthy families like theirs were indeed famous and powerful, but that also made them the focus of many higher-ups and authoritative figures. If they were to offend any of those higher-ups, those people could easily find some excuse to destroy the whole Mitchell Family. However, even after years and years of Sandra’s illegal tax evasion acts, Alex had never once lectured her about it. Instead, he tolerated it and told her to be careful about it.

She was playing with fire, and her acts would clearly shove the Mitchell Family into the deep end someday. This time, Vincent finally decided to leave Alex and the rest of the family. He gathered all the details of Sandra’s illegal tax evasion acts, and he initially thought of handing them over for Cooper to deal with it, but Cooper ordered him to do it himself. Vincent personally brought all of the files to the tax department even before the news of the leaked files were released. The tax department therefore began their secret investigation even before the public commotion. Sandra’s not going to get away this time!

…

Both the public security and tax departments worked together to launch an investigation on Sandra and Glory Entertainment. They were well prepared, and it was easy for them to dig for any further information. Just the double contracts and the sum of money involved in it was enough for them to throw Sandra into jail, and all those documents were already on the Internet. Sandra, who had never felt so helpless, immediately approached the members of her think tank to begin brainstorming.

Firstly, they would have to deny the fact that the compressed zip file had been released from Nicholas’ phone. They would have to explain that it was a misunderstanding, that the after-sales center for Dragon Eye had found no issues with the phone’s system after checking—basically, that all the details were forged. This way, they would be able to avoid any legal accusations, and they would also satisfy Dragon Eye’s intentions. After all, what Sophia wanted was probably for them to admit that there wasn’t actually anything wrong with the Dragon Eye phones.

Then, they would have to destroy all of the data that had been leaked. They would have to approach all their connections; they would have to offer huge sums to get people working; they would have to use the influential power of the Mitchells to reduce the public’s interest on this topic. If they had no other choice, they might have to get a few scapegoats to take the blame. Ultimately, they had to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

To Sandra’s surprise, Lucy was the first to phone her to check if she had found any solutions. Although the scandal had mostly to do with Sandra’s own matters, Lucy understood that Sophia made this move mainly because of the competition between Serpent and Dragon Eye. Lucy therefore felt the need to check on Sandra since Sandra was one of the pawns on her chessboard.

Furthermore, Nicholas was still the spokesperson of Serpent. All the advertisements had been released, and the public had shown great response to it. But now that he was involved in such a huge scandal with pornographic images, tax evasion, and other illegal acts, it would definitely affect the image of Serpent. Since Lucy asked Sandra about her upcoming plans, Sandra gave her an honest reply. She prayed that Lucy would be able to help her out.
