Chapter 313

Evelyn smiled, but her mind was already made up during the conversation.

She was William's daughter. Though she held no shares in Mitchell Group, her name alone carried weight. Sophia hadn't objected either, silently endorsing her decision.

Victor's position was cleared out. Evelyn handed his responsibilities to the two men she'd requested from Alexander. Victor wanted to protest, but the employment contract left him no choice but to comply.

Everything fell into place once Alexander's people stepped into Mitchell Group.

With that handled, Evelyn left the building. Sophia trailed behind her, confusion knitting her brows. "Evelyn, Victor has been loyal to Dad for years. Removing him like this... it'll upset the senior executives."

"If I didn't, Mitchell Group would've collapsed," Evelyn replied.

Sophia frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Trust no one but yourself. Keep Dad undisturbed until he recovers. Understood?"

After the warehouse incident, Sophia had started relying on Evelyn's judgment. She nodded.

Sophia seemed sharp, but business strategy eluded her.

Evelyn studied her but kept her thoughts to herself. No need to provoke her further.

Once their talk ended, Evelyn headed to the car. Sophia called out, "Aren’t you going to visit Dad at the hospital?"

"No. I doubt they want to see me."

"That’s not—"

"Stop. You don’t even believe what you’re saying." Evelyn cut her off and rolled up the window.

She leaned back, eyes closed. Samuel slid into the driver’s seat.

"Mrs. Martin, the office or home?"

"Home. I'm exhausted."

"Understood." He started the engine.

Back at the apartment, Evelyn showered and collapsed into bed.

Meanwhile, Samuel made his move.

After Evelyn left Mitchell Group, Victor had rushed to the hospital where the injured employees were recovering. Samuel had already stationed someone to tail him.

Next, he dug into Victor’s accounts and his closest contacts.

The findings were damning.

Victor had been scheming for a year. Exploiting William’s trust, he’d sold off Mitchell Group’s assets for personal gain. On the surface, the company appeared stable, but beneath, it was crumbling. The fallout with Martin Group had only exposed the rot.

Worse, Mitchell Group’s massive debt? All Victor’s doing. He’d manipulated William into signing predatory contracts. Every creditor had ties to him—he’d personally handled every deal.

And the Martin Group’s payment? Diverted straight into Victor’s pocket.

The "suicide" incident? A staged distraction to cover his tracks. Victor had planned to siphon the funds while William was overwhelmed, but Evelyn’s interference derailed him.

Samuel presented Evelyn with irrefutable proof—documents, recordings, everything.

"With this, Victor’s guilt is undeniable," he said.

Evelyn’s eyes narrowed. "Thank you, Samuel."
