Chapter 162

"Hello, Mr. Hoffman. I'm Robert. I'm sorry tobother you so late at night."

"That's not an issue." An old voice came fromthe other end of the phone.

"There's a favor I want to ask of you, Mr.Hoffman." There was now an ominous glow in Robert's eyes.

"Please go on, Mr. Zabinski." Stephen was verypolite.

"Someone will sell off Zabinski Group's sharesin large quantities these days, and I want you to take over all the shares using the Hoffman family's name. I'll buy the shares from you at the original price after that. Can you do it?"

"No problem, Mr. Zabinski. I'll arrange forsomeone to do it now." Robert could hear Stephen patting his chest from the other end of the line.

After hanging up the phone, Robert tapped the bathtub with his fingers, thinking, "I can put my trust in the Hoffman family."

That was because, firstly, the Hoffman family was a benefactor to Zabinski Group. Secondly, the Hoffman family was not on good terms with the Zabel family. When Kendrick organized a gathering and invited everyone in the industry, the ones who were not invited were the Hoffman family and Zabinski Group.

The night went by, and the next morning, when Robert opened his eyes, there were more than ten messages and several missed calls from Samuel.

Robert did not even have to ask. He already knew why Samuel called him.

When Robert returned the phone call, Samuel's voice could immediately be heard on the other end of the line.

"You finally answered the phone! What the hellis going on? Did you hit someone in the hospital? Did your assistant buy falsified medicines? Thomas is going to hold a press conference today, and many media have already arrived at the headquarters! After today's press conference, Zabinski Group's shares would plunge. The officials would also refuse to cooperate with Zabinski Group on projects because of the influence of this

matter! Even other enterprises would do that as well! Aren't you worried, Robert?" Samuel's voice sounded impatient.

"No hurry." Robert shook his head."Let themhave a press conference. You just need to work as usual, and things will change soon."

Robert hung up the phone and checked his messages. They were all sent by Stephen.

As Robert guessed, last night, Zabinski Group's shares were sold in large quantities, and these shares were all bought up by the Hoffman family, who was well prepared. The price and the quantity of the shares they bought were sent to Robert.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Robert received a call from the hospital asking if he still needed Sophia's clothes.

After that, Robert hurried to the hospital. Sophia's clothes were in a pile at the hospital, and there were also dried blood stains all over, implying that Sophia was badly hurt at that time.

Robert took the clothes and found a hard object in Sophia's pocket. He then took it out

and found that it was a recording pen, and the recording pen was still recording.

He remembered that when Sophia first started her job, Robert told her to get herself a recording pen.

Robert operated the recording pen in his hand and adjusted the timestamp to the night of the accident.

A rustling sound came from the recording pen after that, and soon, a faint sound came from it.

"Mr. Quesnell, what a good business you have.You've made a lot of money, haven't you?"

"It's not as good as yours, but someone hasrecently been taking falsified medicines and got seriously ill. After getting the goods this time,I have to wait for the news to die down before we can cooperate again."

Matthew's voice sounded from the recording pen as he talked to someone else. Sophia was far away from them, so the context of their conversation was unclear, but if one paid attention, the contents could still be heard.

Robert continued to listen.

When a "bang" came from the recording pen, Robert's heart tugged as well.

"M-Mr. Quesnell, she's dying..."

"There's no surveillance camera here, so whatare you afraid of? Carry the goods and put them in her car. Hello, is this the police? I want to turn myself in. I hit someone..."

That night, Matthew's words were all recorded in the recording pen.
