Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 406
Chapter 406: Spies
Aiden held the phone with an ashen look on his face. His eyes widened with shock and he held the phone tightly until his fingers were numb.
“Sir! Our godown had suffered a raid. Somehow they knew that we had imported goods without paying custom duty. The charges of smuggling are attached with many other charges. The manager did not know how to respond to them and ran away. We are in a big mess.” Chris, who was sipping his tea and reading the suggestion given by Nora today, paused.
While the whole office was already empty, he did not leave. For some reason, he did not want to leave the office even when Nora had left.
He instinctively watched the time. It was too late. Most of the time, they only raid at this time if they have received an end moment tip.
He stood up with force. The file tore and fell on the ground at once. The air in the room shifted and Aiden was afraid to even breathe.
“Is it the spy? I thought she was shot and would not wake up for years!” That was the only reason, he was slowly transferring the goods. He was afraid that if he would transfer all the goods at once, they would grow suspicions around them.
“I do not know the boss, I will investigate the matter. But for now, you must go there?” Aiden pleaded only to get a scoff in return,
“And then? End up in that so-called jail and pay a fine! You are a fool, Aiden. You have not learnt anything in so many years!” the man scoffed with disdain leaving Aiden dumbfounded.,
Didn’t Chris have enough contacts to deal with this matter? For him, Chris was untouchable, but recently, his view was changing!
“Sir! Then..”
Chris pushed the flies away and leaned on the table. He rubbed his temples. A headache was building in.
“Did you not say that the manager ran away?” Aiden nodded with a confused look but then his eyes widened.
“Pin the blame on him. I was busy with recent financial losses and was not paying attention to the export and import business. The manager took the benefit and made some shady deals. He was going to start his personal business with those goods.
I had no idea they even existed. If someone asks, tell them I have no relation with those deals. Did any of them have my signature?” Aiden shook his head at once.
Chris had always been known as the best boss because he gives his employees a lot of authority. The manager and CEO of that business had full authority to do the transaction. They only discuss the matter on the phone. Even if they have meetings, Chris let them sign the papers. Who would have thought he was preparing for this day.
As the thought Dawned on Aiden, his hands clenched into a fist. Not only that manager and Ceo, but even had sighed many documents on behalf of Chris. He handled all the underworld business for Chris in exchange for a genius pay.
Chris watched his expressions changing. His eyes narrowed and he smiled.
“Aiden, I know that you will feel I am ruthless. But I went to jail, none of you have the power to bring me out. But if they both go to jail, we can wait till the matter cools down and then take them out.
I am sure after adding some bribe, the goods would be returned too.” Aiden’s gaze shifted again. That indeed seems possible.
He nodded at once with a gloomy face and dialled a few numbers.
Chris watched Aiden with a deep conflicted gaze. The man had been with Chris for a long time. He had helped him in securing many deals. He did not want to betray him. But he was too naive and kind for his own good. Chris slightly looked away from Aiden and fell deep in thoughts.
He had been an enemy of many businessmen from the start. But no one had ever succeeded in plotting against him and it was all thanks to the few men behind him. This time, everything was going the opposite.
It was a strange coincidence that ….. Left and the event happened! But he had sent him. Could it be that someone was keeping an eye on him?
“Boss! I have informed the manager. In exchange for five million dollars and a promise that he would be out in a year. The manager is ready to take the blame. But he wants a written contract for the promise.” Aiden scratched his neck. Thinking of a way he could use it to convince Chris. But to his surprise, Chris nodded without any hesitation.
“Of course, make a contract and pay all the money to his family in advance. Since we are going to save him, what is wrong in promising it! Not only that, investigate the matter. See the officials included in this sting operation and find their weakness. Why wait for a year! We will start our preparation today only.” Aiden smiled and looked at the man in fascination as he nodded his head and started calling again.
Chris watched him and left the room. He stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette. But he did not take the drag. He just stared at the burning tobacco with a dark gleam in his cold eyes.
“Boss! I think there are more spies in the team. How would they know that …. Is leaving and choosing the same day for the raid!” he said in a conflicted voice.
Since he could think about it, Chris must have had the same thoughts. The man looked at his boss expectantly.
“Do you remember that…. Had a small family. Check where he had gone and whom he met before leaving the country. Aiden, I will not let my enemies win even if I have to go to hell, I will drag them down with me.” he warned in a cold voice. Aiden shivered all over but bowed his head hurriedly.
