All of a sudden, Andy’s forehead wrinkled into a frown. “The investigation team What do they want?”
“Um... They said it’s about the Sullivan Group.” The assistant could only shake her head, confused as to why the investigator
team would suddenly cto the BeGroup. Moreover, it was definitely strange that it had something to do with the Sullivan
Group.
“Where are they?” Despite their unease, Rachel still sounded calm.
“They’re in the conference room on the 11th floor.” The assistant stood straight, yet she couldn’t stop wringing her hands. Rachel
then checked the ton her phone and learned it was almost noon. For sreason, she could just surmise that their
unexpected visitors had just finished their investigation in Sullivan Group and chere right after that.
“Ask someone to prepare coffee for the investigation team. You go and tell them I’ll meet them with Andy in ten minutes,” Rachel
instructed her assistant the way she usually did. Even though the assistant nodded, worry still lingered in her eyes.
“Miss Bennet, will they-”
“Everything will be fine.” Rachel smiled at her assistant without a trace of alarm. Fortunately, the assistant took it as a sign that
she shouldn’t worry. After all, if Rachel wasn’t concerned, then she must already know how to deal with them. She calmed down
a little and left the office to carry out her tasks.
When the assistant was no longer in sight, Andy looked at Rachel and found how calm and composed she seemed.
“Were you already aware that they would chere?”
“No.”
“But you...” It wasn’t until then that Andy cto his senses. Just now, Rachel pretended to be calm so her assistant wouldn’t
panic. He suddenly looked more serious.
“Those guys are always cautious. They won’t make a move so easily without evidence, but now they’re here. I’m afraid they
didn’t cempty-handed,” Of course, Rachel also knew that.
“But if it has something to do with the Sullivan Group, why would they involve us? BeGroup has no business dealings with
them.”
Andy kept going as if he was thinking loudly. He tried to piece things together, but he couldn’t find an answer.

“Shares.” Rachel immediately figured out what was going on.

Andy tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.
“Victor held forty-five percent of the BeGroup shares around six years ago. That’s why they chere,” Rachel explained
patiently.
“They’re looking for the source of those shares.”
“Shares? Weren’t the shares under Victor’s own name? The shares had nothing to do with Sullivan Group. Neither Sullivan
Group or BeGroup should be subject to investigation. Not to mention, he had atrundy returned all the shares to the Bennet
family two years later.”
Indeed, if Victor had bought the shares out of his own pocket, then it was a legitimate investment that belonged to his personal
properties. Therefore, it shouldn’t warrant an investigation.
However, it he purchased those shares with ill-gotten gains, that would be a different story. Although Rachel didn’t have
extensive knowledge of wheeling and dealing associated with business, the methods were all pretty standard. It would seem that
whatever was about to surface in their meeting with the investigators involved a frame-up.
“What if someone wants those shares to be traced back to Sullivan Group?” Rachel Lowered her eyes. At this point, there were
a hundred things running in her mind. “Someone? Like who?”
The question reminded Rachel they had to get going, so she slid her phone into her pocket and started walking. As a matter of
fact, she already had an idea of who it could be, but she chose to keep it to herself for now.
“It isn’t news that speople want to see Sullivan Group fall down so they can reap profits for their own gains.”
“I see.” Andy might be the BeGroup’s lawyer, but he only had to deal with the daily operations of the company. Although
they hadn’t had much progress in the last four years, everything was well and stable. He had yet to encounter problems of this
size.
Needless to say, he panicked as soon as he heard about the appearance of the investigation team.
“Con, let’s go meet them first.” Rachel patted his shoulder.

“Have you already cup with a solution?” However, Rachel just kept silent and shook her head. Eventually, the two walked
out of the office and headed straight to the elevator. Upon entering, Rachel pressed the button to the eleventh floor. As the
elevator started to move, Andy’s voice echoed from behind.
“But you don’t look like you’re worried about it.”
“It’s not that I’m not worried. But I know the exact reason why those guys are here.”
After a deep sigh, Rachel continued, “Their target is Sullivan Group.”

Meanwhile, in the meeting room, the place was filled with deafening silence. There were five people on the investigation team.
All of them were in suits and wore stern faces.
When the assistant served them coffee, she inadvertently glanced at their badges and got stunned-their names and titles
revealed that each of them was a big shot. She couldn’t help but panic, thinking about what these people were doing here. At
that moment, the head of the investigation team checked his watch and looked at the assistant with a serious expression.
“We’ve been here for ten minutes. Where is Miss Bennet?”
The assistant had already been uneasy for a while. Hence, when the disapproving voice of the team leader suddenly broke the
silence, she was instantly startled.
“She will be here soon, sir.”
The assistant took a deep breath to calm herself down. Since she was Rachel’s personal assistant, she shouldn’t look incapable
in front of these men. After all, Rachel’s image would also be affected. Clearly dissatisfied with her answer, the man frowned.
“I’m sorry for keep you waiting.”
Before another impatient member of the investigation team could open his mouth, the door opened. Right then, Rachel and Andy
walked into the conference room and greeted them with a friendly smile.
“Hello, Miss Bennet.” The head of the team stood up and reached out to shake her hand.
“My nis Kent Bates. I’m heading this investigation team.” Rachel glanced at his badge. The man in the ID photo looked
exactly the sas the man in front of her, so serious and cold.

“Pleased to meet you, Mr. Bates.” Rachel shook hands with him and sat opposite him and his four team members. While Andy
took a seat next to Rachel, the assistant discreetly left the room. With a room of seven people, the conference room seemed
massive.
At first glance, it would appear as though Rachel and Andy were here for a deposition. For a moment, everyone sat in silence.
Kent took the tto size Rachel up and ended up admiring her a bit for her calmness. He recalled sof their previous visits
to other companies and how the people in charge would either be too hospitable or too nervous whenever they met with the
investigation team.
“You must be wondering why we paid you a visit today, Miss Bennet.” Kent soon went straight to the point. Despite his
appreciation of her attitude, he was scrupulous about his work responsibilities.
“I am, actually. Would you mind telling me? If there’s anything we could help you with, we’d be willing to cooperate.”
“Very well.” Kent then fixed the files inside the folder in front of him.
“Are you aware of the news about the Sullivan Group, Miss Bennet?”
“I’ve heard about it.”
“Alright, then. That would make things easier.” As he spoke, Kent took an investigation order from his colleague.
“This is the investigation order against the BeGroup. Miss Bennet, please sign it.”
