Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Selling Out Winthrop Group

Elspeth slowly quipped, “Mr. Bishop, if I’m not mistaken, you must be wondering why these colleagues who you had bribed didn’t refute Mr. Winthrop as you expected, right?”

“What?!” Houston’s expression changed radially. “Miss Lynwood, what do you mean by that?”

She sneered, “I think you know exactly what I meant.”

“Nonsense! You’re making things up!” he shouted in a panic.

“Am I? Why don’t we take a look at this evidence?”

She took the documents and photos out of the folder and slammed them on the table with a resounding snap. The documents scattered, and the images showed that Houston sneaked into the finance department office and the exact amount of money he had embezzled.

“What else do you have to say?”

Houston’s face turned ghastly pale, and the terror under his eyes heightened when he saw the evidence. “No, these are all fake! Why would I hurt the company? Don’t you dare accuse me?!”

Then, he suddenly roared wildly as if he had grabbed a life-saving float, “Yes, you did this so that you could kick me out of the company! You’ll be punished for what you did to me!”

Elspeth ignored his accusations as she raised her eyebrow and decided his fate. “If you have nothing to say, you can go and have a good chat with the police.”

Then, she sat down leisurely and smiled.

Houston had intended to run at the mention of the police but was detained at the door by the police, who arrived just in time. “Just you wait! I won’t let you off the hook!”

He glared at them fiercely, and the anger in his eyes was burning.

After Houston was taken away, Callum said a few words briefly before dismissing everyone and turning his attention to Elspeth. “I don’t think it’s that simple.”

“Why?” Her eyes darted around, and she was full of smiles. She was over the moon after getting rid of the scourge of Houston, and even her tone was gleeful.

“He is not that easily defeated,” Callum slowly said after pondering for a moment.

Elspeth turned serious as she looked thoughtful. “You mean to say?”

“I think he may have other ways to turn the table.”

“What?” She frowned. “Are you saying that he will come back to bug us again? But he has been arrested!”

He carefully recalled the look in Houston’s eyes before he was taken away. “He must have other tricks up his sleeves.”

Sure enough, the news of Houston being cleared of suspicions and released came the next day.

She sat in Callum’s office and frowned in dismay. “He really has other plans.”

“He’s now a high-level executive at Alphascape.”

“Based on his character, he must have made a deal with them based on our information.” Elspeth gritted her teeth indignantly. “Houston Bishop! I should have beaten him up to a pulp!”
