Chapter 189

"You know as well as I do that the car wasrented." Robert shrugged nonchalantly. "Besides, I had someone look into that minethat you were talking about. Geographically speaking, the locality of the'mine' is actually that of a lake. Moreover, the laboratory you mentioned happens to be a private facility, which means I could pay the researchers to forge any test results or data that I want. As for the gold composition of the minerals, regardless of the actual percentage, it would never have made sense if it was part of a sham, right? Pray tell, how is such groundless information worth millions of dollars in investments?"

"You're spewing nonsense, that's what!"Matthias picked up a glass and t hrew it on the ground so forcefully that it broke. Then he continued angrily, "How would you know anything about this field, anyway? Stop bluffing everyone!"

The sound of shattering glass filled the room as he said this.

Suzy's brows furrowed."Naomi, is your friend trying to say that Matthias is colluding with a con artist to defrau d us? That doesn't seem right, does it?"

"This guy's nothing but an idiot who's trying toput on airs!" Matthias unleashed a torrent of abuse."Come on, let's go somewhere else to discuss this business deal and leave this clown alone!"

At that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open once more.

Two muscular men in black suits came in and surveyed the private room stormily before their gaze locked onto Matthias. Following that, they marched right up to him, and one of them said grimly, "Mr. Matthias Wallace, we've received a tip-off that you rented a Rolls-Royce bearing the registration number Yrinas A99999 from our company and used it for fraudulent purposes. As such, we will be taking the car back. If you have a problem with that, you may take it up with the Draconia Car Rental management or our parent company, Zabinski Group. Now, please hand over the keys to the vehicle!"

Suzy, who had been frowning all this while, was astonished by what the two men said that she turned to look at Matthias in disbelief.

Matthias'features twisted into a menacing grimace as he hollered, "What's the meaning of this? I don't know what the hell you two are talking about!"

One of the men in the suit immediately produced an agreement, which came with a duplicate copy of Matthias' ID card, his phone number, full signature, and thumbprint.

This was none other than the car rental agreement for the Rolls-Royce that Winston had shown up in. If that luxury car was only a rental under Matthias' name, then the truth was out in the open!

When Suzy saw the agreement, she grew incredulous. She gaped at Matthias in shock. The last thing she expected was for her boyfriend to collude with a con artist to cheat her out of her money! To add insult to injury, she had been the one financially supporting him since he graduated from university!

Sensing her mortified gaze, Matthias quickly waved his hand and said anxiously, "Suzy, hear me out..."

A resounding crack filled the room.

Suzy slapped Matthias hard across the face before he could finish speaking. When she was done, hot tears were spilling down her cheeks.

Meanwhile, Timmy was completely rattled by this turn of events. To think, he had transferred 3 million dollars into a hustler's account before the scam was revealed! If Matthias had not

been caught lying, then that 3 million dollars would have gone down the drain!

3 million dollars! Timmy might look nonchalan t about the money, but that was only an act. In truth, he had secretly mortgaged two of his family's companies to secure the money. He shuddered to think what his father would do to him if the old man found out about this!

Presently, Winston attempted to sneak away when he saw that things were getting out of hand.

However, his hopes of walking out of this room unscathed were crushed, for at that moment,a team of policemen barreled through the door. Leading the team was none other than the vicious and unforgiving Victor.

"Mr. Lennon, you're under arrest for carryingout illegal activity in our jurisdiction. We're taking you with us to the station for investigation purposes," Victor said darkly as he came to a stop in front of Winston. Naturally, he only managed to show up here in time thanks to Robert's tip-off.

"I'm from Atharians! You have no authority toarrest me!" Winston cried, outraged.
