After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 382 The End of Wayne

"I didn't do anything. How can you arrest me?" Wayne realized what happened and shouted in rage. Unashamed, he called that out as if he was the righteous one since he did not believe he had committed any crime.

A policeman said bluntly, "You have caused the release of business secrets, so you have to be under investigation."

"What business secrets did I release? When did I do this..." Wayne paused suddenly.

In that instant, he thought of the fact that he had handed over the plan of Cooper Group to Charles. He shivered at the thought of this and suddenly lost all of his confidence.

"What happened?" Miguel stood up and walked towards them.

As the chairman and Wayne's uncle, he couldn't just ignore what happened to Wayne.

People working for the supervisory department looked up to Miguel and said straightly, "We received the report from one of your employees that Wayne released your company's trade secrets. Now we have collected sufficient evidence so we need to take him back to the investigation."

"One of our employees?" Miguel was visibly surprised. He had no idea who reported Wayne, and what crime he had committed.

"It was me." Hannah walked up to Miguel calmly and said, "I reported this."

"What for?" Suppressing the panic in his heart, Wayne asked loudly, "You just hate me, and want to put me out of the company, don't you? You can ask me to leave instead of playing all these tricks. I'll just go! I'll go immediately!"

After saying these words, Wayne was going to leave the conference room. Probably, he was in a huge panic. However, when he was about to take a step, the police had straightly stood in his way and prevented him from going away.

"Wayne, do you deny what you've done?" Hannah looked at him and asked slowly.

"I did nothing! You just want to set me up to expel me from the company! Hannah, how can you be so evil? No matter how bad our relationship is, at least I'm your cousin. I can't believe you would do this to me!"

Hannah sneered and didn't care about his accusation against her at all. She said to the policemen, "Can you give me ten minutes to set things straight? Otherwise, there might be nothing I can do to clear my name."

They hesitated for a few seconds and agreed, "OK."

"Thank you." Hannah smiled with gratitude.

Then she slowly mounted the stage and plugged the USB she had prepared into the reader of the computer. A video of Wayne breaking into a safe in Rose's office was shown on the screen in the conference room. In the video, everyone could clearly see Wayne opening the safe and taking out a USB, before hurrying away.

The meeting room was in an uproar. Wayne's face turned pale when he saw himself in that video. He had no idea there was a security camera. He had disabled all the cameras that day, but he didn't expect that there was still a camera under the desk aiming at him. He was too frightened to say a word and couldn't disprove what was in the video at all.

Everyone was goggling at him in disbelief. They were wondering what the hell is in it for him.

Was he trying to frame Hannah?

If that were true, this guy was indeed malicious.

How could he disregard the interests of the company for his own?

Suddenly, it caused speculations and accusation against Wayne throughout the meeting room. What a slap in Simon's face.

"As for the plan of Sawyer Group, the supervisory department has got it by formal means. Their plan is very similar to ours. Although it's not easy to detect, once the department digs deep, its plan can be judged as plagiarism. And this $9.9 billion bid is also not a coincidence." Hannah said to them, "The point is I do have the records of his dealings with the person from Sawyer Group. Because time is limited, I don't want to delay the work of the police, so I won't play the video of his dealing records here."

Hannah always did things neatly and never sloppy. She drew the USB and walked up to the police in full view of a large crowd, "Thank you for your working."

Then the policemen got Wayne out of the conference room.

Wayne couldn't accept the fact that he was arrested by the police. He had been immersed in sheer delight a few minutes ago, and he was taken by the police the next second. He thought Hannah had lost the game but she did bite him back.

No way! By no means he could be imprisoned, or his life would be ruined in jail.

He struggled and squawked, "Don't take me out! Uncle Miguel, help me! Help me!..."

Watching them walk away, Miguel remained in silence with a clouded face. Never had he thought that Wayne would do such a thing. Even if his father, Roger Cooper, wanted this company so badly, he wouldn't be stupid enough to give away the business secrets of the company.

What an idiot Wayne was!

The conference room slowly quietened after he was taken away. It was a little more awkward because of this silence. After all, they had been reproaching Hannah, on Simon's side just now. That made Simon embarrassed a lot. Standing on the same spot, he couldn't say a word while opening his mouth.

Hannah didn't pay any attention to him and said to all, “I just got that video today, this video was incidentally discovered by Rose while looking through the surveillance system. And I reported Wayne not because I wanna win a pissing contest. I wanted to cut him some slack for he's my cousin. But we all know the leopard cannot change his spots, so if we don't teach him a lesson, he'll never realize how bad the consequences of doing such a thing can be. The point is this is not only about my family but also all of our employees. If I give him free rein, I'll be irresponsible to our company. So, dad, please don't criticize me for my acting without your consent."

Miguel looked at his daughter, feeling admired for what she just said.

On the one hand, she accepted the responsibility of reporting Wayne, which at least blew up the gossip that Miguel was hardhearted towards his nephew. On the other hand, she also explained why she had to accomplish the report. There was no favoritism in Cooper Group, the Cooper family member who made mistakes would be punished just like ordinary employees. Besides, she punished him as a warning to other employees.

Miguel was wondering if his daughter was merely a 22-year-old girl or an undercover talent since she was pretty resourceful, collected, and thoughtful for her age.

The twist suddenly came, and Miguel even felt pleased about Wayne's end.
