Love After Betrayal Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Natalie thought that since she had decided to give birth to the triplets, she had to take their future into
consideration. Her mother had left a will stating that she could legally inherit the company upon
reaching 18 years of age. However, Logan had been refusing to hand the company over to her over the
past few years, nor had he gone through the legal procedures according to the will. Now, it was time to
take back everything that belonged to her. She took out her cell phone, but just as she wanted to make
a phone call, she received a phone call, which she answered. The caller was Alexis Weissman, who
was the assistant general manager of her mother’s company. She had met him several times before,
but she didn’t know him very well. “Where are you, Natalie? Something bad happened. Logan and his
family absconded with the company’s funds! I’ve reported it to the police, but the police said that they
had left the country for Zuflar, which has no extradition treaty with our country, so they can’t arrest them
for the time being. But now, the company is caught in a huge debt crisis… Natalie, could you come to
the company right now so that we can talk about it face to face?” After hesitating for a moment, Natalie
replied, “Okay. I’ll be there right away.” She had planned to ask Logan for her shares and the company,
but little did she think such a thing would happen. Logan absconded with the money, huh? Seems like
he’s long planned to run away, she thought. Immediately, she hailed a taxi to the company. … At the
Hartwell Corporation’s building, the president’s office was in a mess as Alexis and some of the
company’s senior executives were rummaging for something. Looking as black as thunder, all of them
were livid with rage. Knock! Knock! Natalie knocked on the door. “Mr. Weissman, I’m coming in.” Upon
seeing her, Alexis instantly got emotional. “You’re here, Natalie… Come on, let me introduce some
people to you. These people are all senior executives of the company who just hurried here after
learning of what had happened.” Alexis then proceeded to a brief account of the company’s present
situation. The company left behind by Natalie’s mother specialized in the research and development of
alternative fuel vehicles. The company used to have a high market value, but Logan didn’t know at all
how to manage and run the company, causing the company’s revenue to fall below the minimum for a
time. And now, in just a few months, Logan had embezzled all the company’s funds, converted them
into one billion in cash, and absconded with the money with his family! “… In other words, apart from
the embezzled three billion, the company currently has a debt of at least one billion, though the finance
department is still calculating the exact amount. If word gets out about this, our employees will be in a
panic. Natalie, you have to come forward and stabilize the whole situation at such a time!” Alexis said
with a sigh. The few other senior executives agreed with his words. Natalie didn’t know much about
how to manage a company, but she understood what Alexis’ words meant. To put it bluntly, Alexis had
called her back at this hour because he wanted her to take it upon herself to take over the company
and its debts. But how was she supposed to deal with a debt of at least one billion? The Hartwell novelbin
Corporation was the fruit of her mother’s painstaking work, so she didn’t want to give it up. And
besides, she had planned to manage the company properly after getting divorced and taking the
company over. It was just that she didn’t expect the current situation, so she had to think carefully
about it. After a brief silence, she said, “Mr. Weissman, don’t worry about this first. I still don’t quite
understand the company’s situation. Please tell me the company’s situation in detail, as well as the
company’s current main projects.” Alexis finally saw a glimmer of hope. “Alright, Natalie! Currently, the
company…” … The Langston Group’s building towered into the sky in Kaiton. Its top floor was hardly
discernible among the clouds, whereas its huge logo glittered in the sunshine. At the president’s office,
Tyler put the findings of his investigation in front of Casper. He said, “We’ve found out that the Hartwell
Corporation originally started out as W Technology. Over 20 years ago, W Technology was working on
the research and development of new energy technology and hired many top scientists and
professionals with high salaries from abroad. Not long after that, though, W Technology changed its
name to Hartwell Corporation. Logan Hartwell took over the company after his wife had a difficult labor
and died 18 years ago, but he knew nothing about the company’s management and technology, so the
company began to go downhill. Two years ago, Logan began to transfer the company’s assets under
various names, embezzling billions of funds from the company and leaving behind a debt of about one
billion. Not only that, but he and his family absconded with the money 12 hours ago.” Then, he checked
the time. “They probably have landed in Zuflar by now. Mr. Langston, do we need to help Madam bring
them back?” Zuflar had no extradition treaty with the country. However, with Casper’s capabilities, it
was as easy as pie to bring back whoever he wanted to bring back from Zuflar. Casper took a sip of his
coffee. Then, he asked impassively, “Do you have nothing else to do?” “No, that’s not it. In that case…
are we gonna do nothing about this for the time being?” Casper didn’t say a word. Not understanding
what his silence meant, Tyler had no choice but to continue reporting other things. An hour later, Tyler
finished reporting everything. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly paused in his tracks, asking,
“By the way, Mr. Langston, Miss Maxwell has returned to the country. It’ll be her birthday three days
later. Do we have to prepare a birthday gift and throw a birthday party for her?”
