Chapter 169 Where's Dad

Johnson nonchalantly asked, "Francis, don't you need to lock the door?"

Francis quietly looked at him briefly and said, "Mind your own business."

Then, he turned around and got into the car outside the door.

Johnson's smile faded when he got into his car.

Lilian hid behind the door. When she heard the cars moving away, she carefully opened the door and walked out. Johnson had caused severe psychic trauma to her in the past few days, so she felt scared when seeing him.

When Francis returned to the Landau family, Ruby and Rosalie anxiously waited in the living room. Seeing them back, Rosalie took Francis's arm, saying, "Frank, welcome back."

Francis nodded as a greeting and asked, "Where's Dad?"

She replied, "He is in the study room. It would be best to have a nice attitude after you go in. He is angry."

Francis nodded and went to the study as if nothing had happened. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When he knocked on the door and walked in, Everett stood before the floor-to-ceiling window with his back toward the door.

He was over sixty and had gray hair. But he was hale and hearty and stood with his back straight.

Francis came up behind him and said, "Dad."

Everett turned around to glance at him in reading glasses. And the look in his eyes behind the glasses was full of anger.

"Look at the mess you made!"

Everett took a stack of documents out of nowhere and heavily threw them at Francis's chest.

Seeing the documents scattered all over the floor, Francis remained calm. He bent down, randomly picked up a piece of paper, and read the information.

"It is Johnson's project."

Everett glared at him and said, "He says you signed your name. You say it is his project. Are you two trying to pass the buck? Who should I talk to? Both of you are working in the company. I did not expect you to make such a mistake. How can you two be so useless?"

Francis raised his eyes to glance at him and said, "I signed my name because there is nothing wrong with the project plan itself. It is he who made a mistake when operating it."

Hearing this, Everett became even angrier. He glanced at the door, lowered his voice, and sincerely said, "How dare you let him operate such a big project alone? What are you thinking?"

Although Johnson had worked in the company for two years, Everett had not fully trusted him. And the fact proved his vigilance was correct.

It had been only a short while after Johnson had invested in several companies. But every one of them had gotten in trouble. One had gone bankrupt. One's owner had made off with money. And one's owner had gone to prison.

Was it a coincidence? It was normal for people to feel suspicious.

"I'm sorry, Dad. It is my negligence. He has worked in the company for two years and is capable. So, I didn't ask about his project. I should not have trusted him so much."

Francis lowered his eyes, pretending to be remorseful.

Everett was so furious that he paced back and forth in front of the window, looking troubled.

After a while, he looked back at Francis and asked, "What should we do now? Can we get the money back?"

Francis replied, "It depends on Johnson."

Everett snorted, "Johnson is a bastard! Frank, I suspect he is using this project to transfer our company's assets. You must get the money back! Otherwise, the company's capital chain may rupture. The entire Landau Group will get into crisis! Do you understand?"

Francis slightly nodded, "Yes."
