Chapter 249 Find out the Truth

"Yes." Martha nodded his head instantly.

Honestly, he did admire Harrison for being so observant.

"So, tax evasion is the hard nut to crack! We bought the land at the price of two hundred million back then, but it was also true that one hundred million has been secretly and successively transferred to the private account of Zhang, who's sold the land. What's more, the money was transferred to him through the accounts which were opened in the name of some employees from Cooper Group. There was also a private contract here, and you've signed on it. There wasn't thumbprint on it, but there were transfer records. So, the evidence is solid."

"Any evidence that can directly prove I've put them up to it?" Martha asked back, and couldn't help to say, "Actually, I was also curious why they could have suddenly beat down the price and closed the deal at the price of two hundred million since the opposite party quoted for three hundred million. Well, I should have been more carefull"

"What's gone is gone. Drop it and face the music. The point of the matter now is that, according to the law of Northfield, and with the witnesses. and evidences against you, you'll be found guilty if you can't replace the evidence to prove you're innocent."

Martha was silent.

"I've checked the witnesses and evidences, and found the defect that you didn't stamp with your thumbprint. But I don't think the judge will change his mind for it. After all, all the witnesses and evidences are pointing to you. If we don't have solid evidences, we can't clear your name then." Harrison said straightforwardly.

Indeed!" Martha agreed with her.

1 think we need some time to replace out the truth." Harrison said, "Did the courthouse tell you how soon you would be in court?"

"When I left just now, they said they would report to the higher court first and inform me the time in court later."

"According to the law, a case with witnesses and evidences will be in count very soon. If nothing else, you might be in court within a week."

"That's too soon!"

"Because someone will defraud in it." Harrison said bluntly.

Martha looked at Harrison and said, "You mean, you know who's set me up in the case?"

"On the whole, yes."

"Your Uncle Roger?" Martha guessed.

"It's out of his ability. But I'm sure he is part of it."

"So..."

"The Sawyer family." Harrison said straightforwardly.

"But they don't have so much power, either."

"Dad, the Sawyer family is always a real piece of work. They've been colluding with the City Hall." Harrison told him the truth, "So, the City Hall is backing them up under the table."

Martha looked really bad and said furiously, "Surprisingly, the Sawyers are so vindictive. They set me up and seek revenge for themselves!"

"It wasn't a revenge. In fact, they wanted to lay their hands on the Cooper family long ago. They arranged the marriage between me and Charles only to take our family properties. Now that they can't work that way, of course they'll try some crooked ways."

"Damn the Sawyer family! Your grandpa must be blind back then. Otherwise, how could he want to be in alliance with them!"

"Or, maybe there's nothing to do with the old Mr. Sawyer. Only the younger generations of the the Sawyer family have changed."

"All in all, on no account can we let the Sawyer family get their way!" Martha said ferociously.

"Right." Harrison nodded.

"But, now I don't know where to start..." Martha said with anxiety.

"Let me handle it, dad. I don't believe they've done it so perfectly without a flaw."

"OK." Martha agreed without hesitation, "Do tell me if you're in trouble."

"OK. Oh, one more thing, dad. In my opinion, you'd better not go to work in the office before you clear your name."

"I'm afraid the senior managers, who follow the lead of your Uncle Roger, will give you a hard time if I don't go."

"They can't do anything with me. Instead, they'll deliberately make things hard for you if you go to work in the office. Moreover, Uncle Roger might agitate the board and force you to step down. You'd better stay at home rather than have unnecessary fights with them."

"OK. It's your call." Martha said, showing his unconditional trust on Harrison.

"Time is ticking. I gotta go now."

"Be safe."

"T'll be fine since Jimmy will stay around with me."

Saying it, Harrison left in a hurry. She also knew time was limited, and she couldn't put it off. Not a little bit.

Michelle came over with the tea and found Harrison had left already.

"So, Harrison's gone?" Michelle didn't have enough time to call her until she went out of sight.

"I think the best decision I've ever made in my life is that I've married you and had such a darling daughter." Martha looked towards the gate and couldn't help to heave a sigh.

Michelle heard it and smiled. Indeed, they were very proud of Harrison.

Harrison left the Cooper Manor and went straight back to Cooper Group.

On the way, she thought a lot. She believed the biggest breakthrough point was why the contract amount was two hundred million but one hundred million had been transferred to the private account secretly. If her father knew nothing about this one hundred million, where did the money come from? It was almost impossible that anyone could take one hundred million out from his private account only to frame her father up for being a tax dodger. Even it was true, he could have set her father up long ago if he wanted to, since the contract was done long time ago. But why must he wait till now?

Or, it was a secret deal to make profits behind her father's back in the first place? And someone took advantage of it on purpose and made an issue of it now?

Harrison knitted her eyebrows and picked up the phone, "Rose, come in."

"Yes, Ms Harrison."

Rose knocked at the door and went in

"As for the project of 'Huatan' subdivision, was the deal closed last year?"

"Yep. If I remember right, it was last March."

"Go replace all the paper contracts and approval processes from last March till now, and give me a copy of them."

"What are you gonna do with them, Ms Harrison?"

"Something."

"But the General Affairs Department has them now, and Mr Wayne Cooper is in charge of it. Considering your relationship with your cousin Wayne, Ms Harrison, I'm afraid we can't get them effortlessly." Harrison was stunned and realized that she'd been too anxious and rash, which might also alert the enemy.

"Do we scan all the company contracts and keep them in file?" asked Harrison.

"Yes. Not only all the contracts but also all the approval processes are scanned and kept in file. But they're saved in the computer folder of General Affairs Department now. Normally, we can't acquire the documents unless the manager has signed to approve it." Rose said bluntly.

"OK. I see. Off you go."

"OK. Ms Harrison." Rose got out of the office. But she paused her steps while she was about to get out.

She couldn't help to ask, "Ms Harrison, is Mr Chairman in big trouble this time? I see people in the company are kinda jittery."

"I know." Harrison said calmly, looking like it wasn't a big deal.

Rose stopped asking more and believed Harrison could handle it all. Then she left.

Harrison picked up the phone, made a call and went straight to the point, "Manuel, please hack Cooper Group's intranet for me."
