Chapter 544 Are You ming Me For Your...


    Jeffery took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling heavily. Without another word, he stepped forward and dropped to his knees. "Dad..."


    Cruz cut him off sharply. "Tell me, what''s going on with those factories?"


    Jeffery''s expression darkened. After a brief silence, he spoke slowly. "The general manager in charge of factory procurement, Leon Walsh, embezzled funds meant for equipment purchases. Because of that, we didn''t have enough money to acquire the necessary machinery. To cover it up, his subordinates kept submitting falsified documents, manipting figures to make everything seem normal..."


    He trailed off, unable to continue.


    Cruz scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain. "Impressive, isn''t it? One man covering for another, a whole group covering for each other. When did the firm be a nest of corruption?"


    His piercing gaze fell on Jeffery, who remained kneeling. "And you, as CEO, failed to detect such a massive issue?" Jeffery clenched his jaw, frustration bubbling inside him. "Dad, most of the management team has been with


    you


    for years. I trusted them because they were your people. That''s why I let my guard down."


    Cruz''s expression turned even colder. "Jeffery! Are you ming me for your failure?"


    Jeffery''s heart skipped a beat. He quickly shook his head. "That''s not what I


    meant!"


    Cruz narrowed his eyes. "When did you be so skilled at shifting responsibility? Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"


    Jeffery tightened his fists but knew arguing was pointless. "I was wrong, Dad. I''m already doing everything I can


    to fix this."


    Looking up, he quickly added, "I had secured a partnership with CR Corporation. Its founder Mr. Riley personally admired you. Even though they''ve canceled the deal, there''s still a chance to salvage it."


    Cruz immediately saw where this was going. "Oh? So you''ve already made ns for me. You want me to step in and convince Mr. Riley?"


    Jeffery''s urgency grew. "Dad, the Lawson Group is Grandpa and your legacy! And this issue isn''t just about the factories. The real problem started when Carol unknowingly offended one of CR Corporation''s designers. That''s why Mr. Riley cut ties with us."


    Cruz frowned. "A designer?"


    Jeffery nodded. "Yes, the one who caused a scene during Carol''s birthday party- Linsey. And there might be some deeper connection between her and Mr. Riley."

    Cruz''s patience wore thin. His brows knitted together in irritation. "Stop looking for shortcuts. Your focus should be on fixing thepany, not specting about irrelevant rtionships."


    Jeffery hesitated, then nodded obediently. "I understand. I just want to find a way


    to regain CR Corporation''s trust. If we can restore that partnership, resolving thepany''s internal crisis will be much easier."
