The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 135

"You guys cost the company millions of dollars. I have to call the police for this," Arabella said calmly. "If I let you guys slide, I'd be aiding and abetting, and I'd be just as guilty as you."

"Ms. Bennett, please spare us..." the head of the purchasing department was sobbing. "I have a happy marriage, and my child was just born... I really don't wanna ruin my family over this!"

"We have to explain this to the head office. If employees can cause the company to lose millions and then just cry it out and apologize, what kind of chaos would that lead to? How can we manage? How can we lead?"

"Ms. Bennett...” The audience comprehended that this matter brooked no deliberation. This can only be blamed upon them, as they chose the wrong path, which is now irreparable.

"We are all adults," Arabella solemnly remarked, "and since the deed is done, we must bear the consequences. If there are any injustices, we can bring them to the attention of the police and seek clemency."

Despite Oscar's reprehensible actions, they too are accomplices, leading the company to endure immense losses, and the company is also a victim.

Arabella glanced at Dean, and Dean understood, reaching for his phone to report to the police.

Every word they uttered a moment ago has been recorded by Arabella, with the intention to provide it to the authorities later.

"What is the website's URL?"

Hearing this, Mr. Charlie froze, tears still in his eyes. Then he pulled out his phone, "It's... it's this one... Even though it's been shut down, we still owe friends and online lenders money, we have to pay them back every month. Ms. Bennett, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

The website was already shut down, there was no hope of getting the money back.

Witnessing the five individuals being taken away by the police, the onlookers outside were filled with indescribable sorrow.

This incident has sent shockwaves throughout the entire company. While Kenneth was playing golf, he received a phone call that left him visibly bewildered.

"What happened?" Louisa, who was nearby, heard him mention Bella's situation and thought she might have been mistreated, so she hurriedly came to his side.

Kenneth could barely stand; after ending the call, he staggered a few steps. Serena rushed forward to support him, saying, "What's wrong with sister? Dad, don't worry, take your time to explain!"

"It's not your sister who's in trouble..." Kenneth was guided to a shaded area, where he sat on a leisure chair and rested for a while. After drinking some water brought by a caddy, his complexion gradually improved.
