Henry was shocked and panicked in a second since he hadn't expected he'd get busted so soon. More

importantly, Manuel had cut to the heart. He'd always thought little of Manuel. In his eyes, Manuel

wasn't good at anything, but just got Edward to back him up, and he was a super nerd. To his surprise,

Manuel busted him in such a short time.

"You processed the one-billion loan for Sawyer Group, right?" Manuel asked.

"What are you getting at?" Henry said and looked like shit. He knew nothing good would happen since

he'd been caught by Manuel, so he just went straight to the point.

"According to the rules and regulations of Phillips Bank, you'll be demoted or fired if you're guilty of

dereliction of duty. But, if you're found to be an accomplice, you'll be..." Manuel said bluntly, "you'll be

charged with fraud."

Henry looked terrible. He clenched his fists and stared at Manuel ferociously. Considering how much

Manuel hated him, he bet Manuel would call the police and send him to jail. It involved the Sawyer

Group, who would not take the blame themselves. Out of question, they would tell the police that he

was an accomplice. Since he didn't have the evidence to prove he was innocent, there was a big

chance that he would be charged and sentenced.

Henry had thought it over in a long run, but surprisingly, he was caught by Manuel. And, it happened so

fast. He had been doomed before he could think the world of Manuel!

Manuel coldly watched Henry's changing look and said, "I can help you."

Henry looked at him and found it unbelievable. Then he said sarcastically, "You can help me? Manuel,

how can you help me? You hate me and you just wish to kill me!"

"You've over-thought it," Manuel said lightly.

"Why will you help me? I've taken your loved one away, and you just can't wait to see me perish! Drop

the act, Manuel! Just bring it on!" Henry said in rage.

"Honestly speaking, I once loved Susan, but it was gone. I have my new life now and she's only part of

the past. Besides, I don't take it personally. You are a talent, and you've worked at Phillips Bank for

many years. You're good at something, and it'll be a big loss to Phillips Bank if we just watch you leave

without doing anything. I'll measure your value as well."

Henry looked Manuel up and down and couldn't believe what he had said.

"Sawyer Group defrauded us out on the loan of one billion with two fake house property certificates.

Sawyer is our strategic cooperation partner, so we didn't check and review their issued assets strictly

out of mutual trust. Moreover, they were in urgent need of the loan, so we approved their application

quickly. Not long after that, Henry Parker, manager of the customer service department, reviewed the

files and found those two house property certificates they provided were fake. Hereby, we'll sue Sawyer

Group for fraud, requesting them to pay back the loan of one billion together with the interest." Manuel

was telling him the way to solve the problem logically.

Henry stared at him in rage and said, "You mean, you want me to sue Sawyer Group?"

"First, get yourself out of trouble and prove you're not their accomplice. Second, make up for your

mistake. You made a mistake in the process but you found it out and made up for it on time. I believe

the board will pull their punches." Manuel told the reasons.

"In that case, the Sawyer family will kill me!" Henry blurted out.

Manuel threw his eyes on him, so he could be sure that Henry had made a deal with the Sawyer Family

under the table.

"Here's the solution I offer you. Take the time to think it over. If you don't do as said, I'll hand the

evidence to the judicial department and let them get involved to investigate it. And it'll be their call if

you'll be charged with dereliction of duty or committing a crime." Manuel cut to the chase. He had said

everything needed. And it was Henry's choice.

"I'll call the police if you don't get back to me by next Monday." Manuel gave him a deadline, "Just a

heads-up. You'd better not ask the Sawyer family for advice. Once you do, you'll be the only one to

take the fall! I guess you get what I meant."

Henry said nothing. Of course, he was lost for words at the time.

"You can go now," Manuel said lightly.

Henry glanced at him, feeling the pressure. He was surprised by this man, not only because Manuel

had something on him, but because he could have done it with skills and ease. He did it quietly but

quite powerfully, which made Henry tense though he had been in the business circle for years.

He got out of Manuel's office and returned to his. Susan was playing a video game on the sofa and

looked a little surprised to see him, "Done?"

Normally, meetings took more than one hour. But he was there for about twenty minutes only.

"Yes. Done."

"What was it?" Susan was occupied with her phone and asked him at the same time.

"Nothing much."

"Then why did he talk to you alone?" Susan looked unhappy and said, "He's made a fuss of it."

Henry said nothing else. He just sat down on his office chair, pretending to take care of his work. He

couldn't stop thinking about whatever Manuel had told him just now. Without a doubt, he left him no

choice at all. If he did as Manuel said, it would be impossible for him to win a bigger success with the

help of the Sawyer Family. The more he thought of it, the more desperate he got! At that moment, how

he wish he could tear Manuel into pieces!

...

Manuel sent Henry away and called Hannah, "I've talked to Henry."

"Already?" Hannah was surprised to hear it.

"Yep. Get it done sooner and get over it."

"I mean, you've made up your mind within such a short time?"

"Yeah. Long ago." Manuel sounded very indifferent.

"OK." Hannah stopped it, "What did Henry say?"

"He'll sleep on it. But, as far as I know, Henry, he'll probably choose to sue Sawyer Group."

"So, it means Sawyer Group must pay back the loan and will take the legal liability of fraud?"

"Yes."

"OK. I'll take care of the rest. Keep an eye on Henry."

"OK."

Hannah put down the phone, thinking that Sawyer Group was going to suffer a heavy loss this time!

...

Manuel was done with Henry and didn't stay in the office for too long. He had a stomachache and

planned to go home for a rest. He got on the elevator and pressed the button for the underground

parking. The door was open when the elevator had gone down one floor. Then, he saw Susan waiting

there, and she hesitated a little when seeing him inside. However, she still went in.
