Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 149 by Adolf Dunne
Aldo squinted his sharp eyes and stared Rachel down. Everyone was holding their breath as they
focused on the two of them. After a while, Rachel narrowed her eyes and smiled mischievously. “You are
indeed a smart man, Mr. Davidson.” No one intended to make a sound. It was too quiet. Rachel’s words
broke the silence that surrounded the whole room. Aldo held the walnuts again, the veins on his hand
visibly bulging.
“Miss Bennet, since you’ve treated me as your elder, I’m here to advise you that you haven’t been in
control of the Bennet Group in the last few years and technically you are not aware of the company’s
situation. Some things, I’m afraid, are beyond your ability to deal with.” He was obviously downplaying
her.
Rachel tapped the edge of the glass with her fingertips and just listened quietly. Aldo sneered and pretty
much thought that Rachel was intimidated by his words because she remained silent. After all, she was
only a woman in her early twenties. Even though she and her mother, Elisa, looked a lot similar, she was
no way near her mother’s capabilities. Aldo’s tone softened as he thought of this. As he was about to
continue, Rachel cut him off. “What if I can deal with them today?”
“You…” Aldo’s smile suddenly vanished, unsure what he had heard just now. Rachel crossed her legs
and leaned back slightly. “As you said, I’m young and lacking experience, so I don’t know what to do or
what to avoid doing. In fact, I don’t care. I simply want to settle things all at once.
As for the consequences, I’ll just have to find out, right?” Aldo’s nostrils flared up. ‘This little toublemaker!
“Well, I understand that your time is precious, so I’ll cut the crap and get straight to the point.” Rachel put
on a fake smile before turning to face Andy. Knowing what she meant, Andy took out a pile of documents
from his briefcase and distributed them one by one to the directors who had been apprehensively
impatient the whole time.
Each one got different documents and almost all of them received one, except for Aldo. He frowned as
he looked through the files of the guy next to him. It was confusing to him. “Now, you must realize what
those files are. You’re all reading about the failed projects and detailed capital flows you’ve dealt with
over the last seven years,” Andy explained. Detailed capital flows of the failed projects? The directors’
faces turned ghastly pale.
They lowered their heads and opened the rest of the documents in their hands. They saw the papers
densely packed with words and numbers that showed the progress of projects and the accounts of the
capital transfer. The names of the receiving end were either the directors’ names or the names of their
families. Their hands continued to tremble as they scanned through the documents, and they couldn’t
even hold the papers properly.
How was this possible? They had carefully hidden all the traces and had the money transferred multiple
times before it ended up in their or their family’s pockets. How did they manage to track it down? Before
the directors could make any excuses, Andy spoke again, “The amount in these sheets indicate what
you owe to the company. If you have no questions, please deposit the full amount written in your sheets
to the Bennet Group account within three days.”
The room fell in complete silence. These greedy directors were no longer able to maintain their
composure. ‘Transfer every penny back to Bennet Group?’ That was impossible! The amount of money
they stole ranged from a hundred million to over a billion. And it had been so long that they had already
used up most of them. How could they return it now? They couldn’t even gather that much if they sell
everything they had.
“Miss Bennet, you…” The middle-aged man forced a tight smile, and asked, “Is this a joke? Because it’s
not funny.” “That’s right, we are not amused.” Another director echoed, nervously chuckling. “You still like
to pull tricks on us the way you did when you were young.” The directors were relieved to see that she
didn’t retort them. They continued, “Miss Bennet must be upset because we didn’t save a seat for her
just now. She must be joking right now.”
“Right, right. It was an honest mistake.” “Rachel, we apologize. Don’t be angry.” “Yeah, Rachel…” Just
now, they were calling her “Miss Bennet” in a voice dripping with sarcasm, but now they all looked like
dripping wet chicks and addressed her by her name intimately. These fickle-minded geezers.
As the board members continued to talk, Rachel noticed Aldo’s calm expression from the corner of her
eye. However, he was rubbing the walnuts in his hand faster and faster, and the panic in his eyes
reflected what he felt at that moment. He was the only one who never got the notice. Was she scaring
him on purpose? He knew damn well that those files were true. But why didn’t he get one? Did Rachel
fail to investigate him? No, it wasn’t possible.
Aldo quickly dropped this idea. He had a part in signing the documents for the money transfers. It was
impossible that she didn’t find anything about what he had done. He was wracking his brains for the
possibilities. “Why do you think that…” Rachel continued, catching everyone’s attention.
“I’ll joke with you about five billion dollars?” Her steely eyes froze the men, the chatter finally dying out.
The smile plastered on their faces disappeared in a second. Rachel grabbed the phone from her pocket
and said in an unbothered tone, “It’s half-past seven now. I’ll give you three days. Before half-past seven
on Saturday night, I want to see all of you give back the money you have stolen from Bennet Group all
these years.” The board members all panicked. “That can’t be right!”
“No! These were all fabricated. What money? Miss Bennet, what are you trying to do?” “Miss Bennet,
stop messing around with us! We never did any of these things!” “Right! Miss Bennet, I understand you
want to take over the Bennet Group and are trying to persuade everyone, but you can’t blame us for
these failed projects!” For a moment, the board members wore off their fake smiles, showing their true
colors.
They stood up angrily and headed to the door, as if leaving would save their skins. It appeared to be true
that a person’s intelligence would plummet if they were flustered. Rachel amusingly smiled as she looked
at their backs and then raised her head at Andy. “If any of you step out of the door, these records will
surface in the emails of the economic investigation officials in less than ten minutes,” Andy announced.
All the directors cowered, stopping in their tracks. Grumbling in anxiety and anger, they returned to their
seats hesitantly. As he observed the situation, Aldo’s expression became darker and darker. He couldn’t
take it anymore and shouted, “Miss Bennet, what the hell are you trying to do?!”
