Chapter 34: Your Father Admits His Guilty

Macy stares at him with a serious look, "Delete the video."

Eliot's face is cold, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Macy is unambiguous at all, keeping stepping forward, "The video that I apologized to Mr. Fackler just

now. I found you were recording everything at that time."

Eliot chuckles, looking at the girl in front of him with disdain, "Macy, are you paranoid? Who are you? A

star? Why do I need to shoot you?"

Sneering, he is about to walk away, but Macy blocks his way again, "If you don't delete it now, I will

definitely not let you go."

At this moment, the girl’s eyes seem to bore a hole in his, and although her voice is not loud, he can

feel that she has made up her mind.

Eliot stares at her for a few seconds, then asks unfriendly, "Then what? Now there is Yusef behind you,

so you become fearless? Remember my words please. I recorded the video, but I will never delete it!"

Macy frowns, giving this rogue man an indignant look.

Some employees pass by them and all look at them curiously.

Macy grits her teeth, "Eliot, I never depend on anyone. Now we break up and are on our own way.

Don't involve with each other anymore. You must delete the video now, and then I'll leave immediately!"

Of course, she knows this short video could bring greater shame to the Downey’s as long as Eliot

wants to make a fuss about her. She does not want to bear the pressure of public opinion anymore.

Now she just wants to have a good life and become stronger step by step.

Eliot looks gloomy, takes a deep look at her, and says coldly, "If you really want me to delete this video,

come to my office after getting off work today."

He then leaves directly.

Macy looks at his back, knowing that it will be useless to keep bombarding him at this time, so she just

grits her teeth and does nothing else.

She doesn’t know the intention of Eliot, but in any case, she will absolutely delete this video from his

hands. Now their Downey’s is already in ruins and can't stand more troubles at all.

Macy returns to her office, compiling the quarterly reports sent by the department, and then giving them

to the next-door president's office.

She opens the door, as Yusef is making a phone call. Macy doesn’t speak, gesturing to the man the

reports in her hand, and then places them on the desk.

After doing all of this, she turns around to leave. However, Yusef suddenly hangs up the phone and

stops her, "Come here."

Macy pauses and walks back, leaning slightly, "Mr. Yusef, any orders?"

"Contact the relevant person in charge in South Sea City in advance, to confirm the time and address

of the event and arrange our accommodation."

"Sure." Macy responds softly.

Yusef glances at Macy, pauses for a while, and says abruptly, " I just got some news about your father."

He changes the topic so quickly that Macy has a double take. She is a little excited when she hears this

thing, and quickly asks, "My dad...Is he good?"

"Earnest Downey confessed to his crimes. Now the court is counting the specific amount. The court will

sentence him as soon as possible."

"What?" Macy's face turns pale in an instant. Clenching her fists. she looks at Yusef incredulously, "You

mean, my dad really committed a crime?"

Yusef's eyes are cold, and he answers blandly, "Economic crimes, and tax evasion. The evidence is

quite obvious. Your father has pleaded his guilty."

Macy takes a deep breath, her head buzzing. Yusef's words seem to pass into her ears through a layer

of cotton, ethereal and untrue.

How is this possible? Since childhood, her father has been teaching her to be an upright and law-

abiding person. How could he break the law?

Macy keeps biting her lower lip, while she still has doubts in her heart. She looks at Yusef, and asks

him for confirmation again, "Literally?"

"Yes." said Yusef.

Macy breathes hard, trying to stabilize her emotions. After a long time, she whispers, "Mr. Yusef, thank

you for letting me know. if there is nothing else, I will get to work."

Although her tone is calm, she still feels an overwhelming sense of sorrow. Macy doesn’t want to

believe this fact at all. Without looking at Yusef's expression, she walks out of his office directly.

This kind of blow is invisible but deadly, just like being betrayed by the most trusted person since

childhood, and feelings of powerlessness and remorse at once fills her heart.

These things are told by Yusef himself, which are very likely true. How can she tell her mother about

these? Can she stand the fact?

Macy sniffs, walks into her office, and sits in a chair for a long time.

After an hour passes, Macy is still unable to work. After careful deliberation, she decides to tell her

mother the news as soon as possible.

Leaving the office, Macy goes directly to the toilet, walks into the small cubicle in the innermost part of

the toilet, and dials her mother.

Soon, her mother’s voice comes, "What's going on, Macy?"

"Mom, I have something to tell you..."

Before finishing her words, Macy feels her throat tightens, and the tears pour out involuntarily.

She really couldn't accept the fact that her father committed a crime. The kind, honest father in her

memory seems to be synonymous with deception suddenly.

Macy squeezes the phone, choking with sobs but failing to speak.

Her mother is so shocked that she asks right away, "Macy, what's wrong? Why are you crying! Does

someone bully you?"

"No, Mom, I asked a friend to get some news about my dad..." Macy bits her lower lip tightly, forcing

her voice not to tremble, "I heard that Dad really committed a crime... an economic crime, I just

checked online, he will be sentenced..."

Before she finishes speaking, her voice has been choked with weeping. In contrast, her mother is much

calmer. "Macy, stop crying. When your dad was taken away for investigation, I’ve already mentally

prepared."

Macy is confused, "Mom? You... Did you know that dad committed a crime before?"

"I don't know anything about the business matters, but I know that most companies will do something

about their accounts."

Macy has no idea for a while, tightening her eyebrows, "Mom, I never expect dad to commit a crime at

all, and it’s even an economic crime. Now we must do something..."

"Now that the Downey’s is bankrupt, we lose money, power, and everything. What else can we do?"

Her mother sighs lightly, "Let's let it go."

Let it go?

Macy keeps silence for a long time. Even if her father made a big mistake, he is also the pillar of the

Downey’s and a relative who has raised her for more than 20 years. How could she let it go and do

nothing?

Macy gasps, but finally doesn’t say anything to her mother. She casually finds an excuse to hang up

the phone, while her heart seems to be pressed against a large rock, making her hard to breathe.

Her father committed a crime and would be punished, which are fair. She couldn’t do anything, but Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

considering the affection for these years, she cannot let her father suffer in prison. At least, she wants

him to live well in prison…

Macy grits her teeth, comes out of the cubicle, and washes her hands, being ready to leave the toilet.

However, as soon as she reaches the door, she sees a familiar figure approaching.
