Thanks to the information provided by Aaron, Charlie reached out to Isaac with a request. He asked Isaac to delve into the personal details and professional history of Aaron Philips and his wife, as well as to gather pertinent information about Aurous Continental Technology.


    Meanwhile, as Isaac worked on these assignments, Aaron basked in the praise and admiration from his friends.


    This group of older individuals primarily hailed from government positions or state-owned enterprises. Most were regr employees who had dedicated years to their jobs, earning a few thousand dors monthly—enough to be better than the worst, but still not the best.


    Aaron, being in senior management at the petrochemicalpany, stirred envy among them.


    The petrochemicalpany boasted an impressive record of performance and revenue. While the management team wasn’t the core leadership, their positions were still highly regarded within thepany. Withpetitive sries and solid employee benefits, it was a career path that outshone those of everyone in the room.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Additionally, Aaron’s son-inw was the CEO of apany preparing to go public! A publicly listedpany could be valued in the billions, and with his son-inw Jake being so young, he was on track to be extraordinarily wealthy in just a few years.


    Jacob, on the other hand, felt defeated and disheartened.


    In the past, Aaron had indeed been his rival. Jacob had pursued Matilda with great determination, but she hadpletely overlooked him. Instead, it was Aaron who had captured Matilda’s heart at first sight.


    Aaron had spread false rumors iming Matilda viewed Jacob merely as a backup, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!


    At that time, Jacob and Matilda were deeply in love and had even discussed marriage. Matilda had entrusted him with her heart and her virginity.


    Unfortunately, ine, the deceitful temptress, had orchestrated his downfall. She had gotten him drunk, taken advantage of him, and then paraded the incident in front of Matilda. Heartbroken, Matilda left the country.


    In short, ine was the root cause of all Jacob’s woes!


    If it weren’t for her, he and Matilda would have tied the knot, pursued their studies abroad, and built a life together!


    As these memories washed over Jacob, he was overwhelmed with a tide of emotions and a crushing bitterness. It hurt so deeply that he felt like crying, leaving him indifferent to Aaron’s taunts.


    Just then, Charlie received a response from Isaac. Within minutes, he had gathered detailed information about Aaron and his family.


    Aaron Philips served as the deputy chief of the sales department at the petrochemicalpany. While he appeared to hold significant authority and a lucrative sry, he was involved in extensive kickbacks and bribery. Officially, he earned a monthly sry of twenty thousand dors, but in reality, he had siphoned off millions using his position as a cover.


    Much of the embezzled assets had been funneled into offshore ounts, some were registered under his daughter’s name, and others wereundered through investments in Jake’spany.


    Speaking of Jake Dunn, he had previously faced numerous failures in his business endeavors. Upon realizing that Aaron was a minor executive with actual influence at the petrochemicalpany, he pursued Aaron’s daughter and got her pregnant.


    They married shortly thereafter, and Jake asked Aaron for support in starting his business, leading Aaron to personally invest $30 million into Jake’s venture.


    Moreover, Jake’s Aurous Continental Technology was essentially a front forundering money from several illegal casinos operating in Aurous Hill.


    They had developed an inte crowdfunding app that masqueraded as a fundraising tform for patients, but the so-called donations actually originated from various underworld ounts. The pooled money was then distributed to virtual ‘patients’ in staggering sums. This was why thepany’s financial reports appeared wless.


    Ironically, the primary client of Jake’spany was Don Albert Rhodes.


    Albert owned several underground casinos in Aurous Hill,undering money through thepany’s crowdfunding app.


    A satisfied smile crept onto Charlie’s face as he absorbed the information.<fn6898> Discover more novels at find[?]ovel</fn6898>
