Chapter 312 The wicked have their own karma
Anti-Corruption Bureau dispatched collectively that afternoon and detained all the officials involved in the case with a momentum. The political situation in Athegate changed for a while.
After the people involved were arrested and brought to justice, Lucia returned to the company and asked Samuel to submit the information. Samuel did not dare to decline, so he sorted out the supplementary information and gave it to Lucia. Lucia was very satisfied after reading it.
"Samuel, is this all complete?" Lucia asked Samuel, closing the file.
"Everything is complete. I have sorted out all of Jacob's faults in the company's operations over the past six years, and attached detailed records, which can be used as the most powerful evidence in court." Samuel replied quickly.
"Tomorrow, Jacob's case may be going to trial. Are you willing to prove the authenticity of these documents as a witness?" Lucia glanced at Samuel and asked him unexpectedly.
Samuel was shocked. Lucia's behavior was beyond his expectations again. She was forcing him to choose a position. Once he testified in court, he would be ruthless to Jacob. "Why, don't you want to?" Lucia asked him coldly, seeing Samuel's pale face.
"No, I will. As long as you say so, I will testify in court." Samuel can only choose to completely trust Spencer and place his hopes on him for his future, so he simply answered so. "Okay, then you can stand by anytime." Lucia nodded in satisfaction.
Samuel nodded, and was about to step back, but Lucia stopped him again.
"Were you there the night I heard that Daphne was beaten by Jacob?" Lucia asked Samuel, standing up and glaring at him.
Samuel sweated profusely when he heard this. In fact, from the moment he saw Daphne sitting on the assistant's seat, he knew that Lucia would pursue this matter one day, but he didn't expect it to come so
soon.
"Samuel, you have helped Jacob a lot over the years. I won't pursue anything, but Daphne, you must give her an explanation." Lucia said seriously, with a hint of anger in her words. She just let Daphne notify Samuel to submit the information, and obviously saw a look of fear on Daphne's face, so she wanted to remove this fear for Daphne.
"Ms. Webb, what do you want me to do?" Samuel wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in a low voice.
"Medical expenses, lost work expenses, mental damage expenses, think about how you should compensate her." Lucia said coldly.
Samuel rolled his eyes and immediately stated, "I am willing to pay Daphne half a year's salary as compensation, and immediately apologize to her." Lucia thought for a while. Samuel's salary was 2,000 dollar a month, and half a year was 12,000, so he earned some pocket money for Daphne.
"Okay, then do it right away."
"Yes!" Samuel responded immediately, turned around and walked out of the office to apologize to Daphne. He didn't dare to be insincere. Daphne was frightened by his sudden action, and realized that he was apologizing for participating in the beating of her. She was kind-hearted and accepted it quickly, but she was hesitant to the compensation.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"You don't have to compensate me so much. I just suffered a little injury." Daphne said and felt a little embarrassed.
Samuel thought if she dared not ask for it, he dared not give up.
Lucia, who had been standing at the door of the office to supervise, came over and said to Daphne, "Daphne, since Samuel wants to make up for it, you can accept it with peace of mind. This is what he should do."
"Yes, that's what I should do." Samuel responded immediately. Daphne saw the situation, so she accepted it, and Samuel could escape smoothly.
After Samuel left, Daphne ran to Lucia and said, "Lucia, why did Samuel apologize to me all of a sudden?"
"When dealing with the wicked, you should give him an order directly. I don't want to see you afraid of him in the future. Remember, as long as I am there, you don't need to be afraid of anyone, and no one will dare to bully you again." Lucia said firmly. In fact, even as a woman, when making promises, she was as domineering as any man.
"Lucia..." Daphne's eyes turned red again.
"Okay, okay," Lucia softened when she saw Daphne's red eyes, and she reassured, "Don't cry because of this."
"Yeah." Daphne laughed through her tears and nodded to Lucia seriously.
"Okay, let's go to work." Lucia smiled softly, and went back to the office after speaking, while Daphne obediently returned to her seat. Nia, who was about to pick up the phone and worked beside her, spoke, "Daphne, why did Mr. Foster suddenly apologize to you? Did he do anything bad to you?"
Daphne frowned slightly when she heard this. She found that Nia liked to inquire about her own affairs, but unfortunately she could not share these things with others, so she smiled and said, "Nothing, Nia. Let's get on with our work."
Nia, who was still waiting for her answer, felt a little embarrassed, but seeing that Daphne's call had been connected, she could only sit back in her seat embarrassingly.
Nia never paid too much attention to other people's actions and practices, but once something was compared, and she was the one being compared, then the situation will change. She always felt that Daphne stole her thunder all the time.
Being confused, Nia started to work unintentionally. Seeing that Daphne was constantly busy, she simply stopped the work in her hand. Anyway, she worked so hard, just let her do it. Because the main person, Jacob, had fled in fear of the crime, in the next day's trial, due to the favorable evidence and witnesses provided by Lucia, a group of officials who had entangled interests with Jacob were all dismissed and sentenced on the spot. Jacob was also sentenced. The sentence was officially listed on the list of fugitives of the public security.
In this case, Lucia was in a dilemma again, because the legal person of JTP was still Jacob. Although his equity was in the hands of Spencer, according to the law, all his assets, including JTP, must be frozen and seized, and Lucia's real home, Webbex manor.
After the case was reported, JTP staff panicked, and many people suspected that Lucia was digging her own grave. The promise she gave was completely nonsense. Daphne told Lucia immediately after finding out about it, but Lucia really had no other way.
Arthur asked Bradley to discuss countermeasures for this, but Bradley was also very helpless and could not do both.
