When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 178

Zayn couldn't be bothered to waste words with Nadine. He picked up his phone and walked straight to the office door.

Nadine hurried after him. "Zayn, where are you going?"

Zayn raised an eyebrow. "The restroom. What, you want to help me pee?"

Nadine's cheeks flushed. "Ugh, you're so annoying! Not that I would… But I could if I had to."

Zayn took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, swallowing the curse words that nearly slipped out. He headed straight for the accounting office.

Inside, Caleb was looking at his phone. The moment he saw Zayn enter, he quickly put it down and pretended to shuffle through some documents before standing up. "Mr. Forbes, is there something you need?"

Zayn strode up to him, one hand in his pocket, and asked coldly, "Did you see what was posted on my account?"

"Uh… yes."

"That wasn't me. My father posted it."

"Oh, I see. Is that why you came all the way here?" Caleb forced an awkward smile.

Zayn let out a cold laugh. "You're an accountant, and this is how slow you are to react? Take a guess. How do you think my father got access to Shawn's chat logs?"

Caleb's expression flickered, but he played dumb. "Well, maybe Mr. Joe found some dirt on Shawn…"

"Drop the act," Zayn cut him off, unimpressed.

"Shawn already exposed you. So, tell me, in the three years you've been spying for my father, what exactly have you done for him?"

"Uh… Mainly your personal expenses. Things like business dinners or gifts. The company has strict policies—any expenses exceeding a certain amount require shareholder approval. If they're entered into the records without approval, it's considered illegal.

"But over the years, especially in the past six months, you've submitted an overwhelming number of personal expense reports. The largest one was over five million. I couldn't approve it, and the company's cash flow couldn't cover it. So, I had to call Mrs. Forbes for assistance, and she covered the difference."

"What did you just say?" Zayn was stunned. He was shocked to find out that Josephine had been paying off his personal expenses. That meant that he had been living off her money this entire time.

Seeing his shock, Caleb pulled out a box filled with documents.

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself. Every expense linked to Mrs. Forbes is here. I'll be handing these records over to your father. Not to betray you, but if I don't handle these properly, I'm the one who'll end up in prison. I need to protect myself."

At that moment, Zayn didn't care about Joe any more. His mind was completely consumed by one thought—Josephine.
