Everybody stood still
The words Scarlett just read out seemed to echo in the living area like a spirit
"There is insufficient evidence to implicate Mr. James Brooks in the missing funds"
Jude grabbed the document from Scarlett as he read it over and over again
"The internal review had been conducted before the scandal became public?", he asked curiously
Violet moved slightly
"I think someone in the company had already concluded there wasn't enough evidence against him", she said quietly
"And yet somehow the accusation had gone ahead anyway?", Scarlett said sharply
Jude slowly lowered the document as his face looked very pale
"So father saw this?", he asked slowly
Violet swallowed hard
"I think so because he was the CEO"
Scarlett looked at both of them as she remained quiet
Jude's fingers tightened around the document as he thought that for years he had defended his father even when rivals accused him of his ruthless business tactics
