Even in her previous life, Philip hadn't shown any traces that he was gambling.
"Mr. Scott isn't good at managing a business. In fact, when you went to Mr. Scott with the properties, the Scott family lost all of them in less than three years. If not for the Scott family's solid financial base, they would have nothing left by now."
Maeve saw how the debt increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, then tens of millions of dollars in the end.
All these debts kept increasing.
She could imagine the situation Philip was caught in when he signed these IOUS.
☐☐ ☐ ☐☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐☐☐☐ ☐
These IOUS had been signed since four years ago.
Maeve looked at Levi and asked, "You've known this since long ago?"
"I roughly know."
"So, do you know who reported me?'
Levi remained silent, but Maeve had already caught on to the situation.
Who else could it be?
In her previous life, she had been a housewife after marrying Sergio and had stayed out of the Scott family's affairs. Hence, she hadn't gotten in Philip's way. However, in this life, she had taken the initiative to manage the Scott family's affairs to make a change to the current state. Since those properties belonged to her father, Philip couldn't stop her.
And now, Scott Group had been signed under Mirage Group. They had to sort out the financial reports throughout the years when they handed over the jobs.
It was just a matter of time before they discovered this one-billion-dollar debt.
Philip had only done this because it was almost the end of the year.
Maeve felt even more disappointed.
She had suspected Zayla and everyone else, but she hadn't expected Philip to be the one to report her and set her up.
Levi said nonchalantly, "This is your family's matter. I've handed you the evidence. I can do this on your behalf if you think you'll be in an awkward position to do
it."
"I don't get it. Why would Uncle Phil agree to let Mirage Group acquire Scott Group when I fell into the sea last time? Hadn't he thought about this?"
Levi stared at Maeve and replied calmly, "You were considered dead at the time, and you were the company's legal representative. If Mirage Group were to bring this to the court, who would be blamed for the embezzlement of funds?"
His words crushed the last glimmer of hope that Maeve was holding onto.
No one knew if she had been alive when she had fallen into the sea back then.
Scott Group was under Mirage Group, and Philip had remained as the chairman. Other than the monthly dividends he would get, he could also receive the profits made by Mirage Group.
As for the funds he had embezzled, he could push the blame onto Maeve, who had fallen into the sea and was considered dead at that time.
However, Philip hadn't expected Maeve to come back alive.
"That's the nature of humans. You don't have to feel sad. It's the current that matters."
At this point, the discussion among the public was rather one-sided. The news of the Scott family's daughter misusing one billion dollars of the company's funds spread like wildfire..
Philip had also accepted bribery with his identity as the chairman of Scott Group, but she had to bear the responsibility for that too.
Considering the hefty amount, she would probably face dozens of years of imprisonment. She would have to spend the rest of her life in prison because of the corruption and bribery charges. By then, Philip would have control over the Scott family again.
Philip, who was the only family member she had left in the world, was so good at scheming,
It was difficult to see through someone. She hadn't suspected him, even a little, in the past.
"Thank you, Mr. Hackett. I know what to do."
Maeve was down.
In front of her, Levi seemed slightly unwell, Maeve came back to her senses and asked, "Mr. Hackett, are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine..."
Levi's voice was unstable, but he didn't appear as calm as before. The bodyguard beside him saw that and immediately exclaimed, "It must be his sickness. I'll get the doctor right away!"
