Karen stuttered, "I.. I don't know what you're talking about. Those were my personal savings from overseas. I was working and earning my way up from a company. That's right.."
"Oh? 500 million dollars from a small company that could barely afford to hire twenty-five employees could offer you such a competitive salary within a year? That's quite interesting. Shall we have a talk with the CEO from that company? I coincidentally have his number written down."
Susu grabbed his phone and started dialing the numbers that he wrote down on a sticky note. Actually, the number that was on the sticky note were some random number codes for computer access use. They were simply playing a psychological trick on Karen's mind to make her confess.
Finally, under immense pressure, she gave in and her knees weakened, "No!!! It was me. I got the money...from the family. I needed it to achieve my dreams. I was the one who took the large sum of money and wired it to a foreign account and paid someone to hide the transaction so that nobody would be able to track it.
Zin Leung looked at his second daughter in fiery, "You did what?!! My billions of dollars were used on your boutique and all along I was praising and bragging about you to everyone I knew?!"
Susu fake yawned as she covered her mouth and fanned herself using her hand, "Wow, it took you this long to figure it out? Bravo, CEO Yin. Very intelligent for someone who managed billions of dollars worth of contracts. Did that slap just now burn?"
Zin Leung's face changed from red to purple to pale as he realized his gravely mistake. 'No wonder it didn't made sense.' He thought to himself.
Of course, there was more to Karen's weaknesses, but killing her off in one shot wasn't thrilling enough. Susu wanted to do everything herself so when she faked dialed a number, she also typed a text that only he could read, "After this, leave Karen alone. I'll deal with her myself in the near future."
He rubbed her hand in response and would only sort out Yin Corporations case for today. Zin Leung slapped Karen across the face harshly, leaving five finger prints on both sides of her cheeks. He was even more infuriated when he remembered his wife's doing. She had told him that she found the culprit and it was the same as Karen's assumptions.
The more he thought about it, the worst he felt when he thought of how much he had to lose to realize this truth. He lost the one daughter who was truly loyal to him and now, the business. He's stuck with two sneaky rats, and his money is going down hills.
He hesitated, but still asked, hoping he could gain a small amount of sympathy for Susu to help him, "Su...Susu.. Dad knows that he is wrong. Can you please come back to my side and help me with the company? Without the business, we'll live off the streets and would have no other place to go. We'll have to..."
Susu cut him off, "Alright."
He was so glad to hear her response, but she wasn't finished, "One condition. If you could answer this question, then I will gladly throw in a few good words to see if my darling would listen to me."
"Yes. Yes. Anything you ask." He nodded with his hands nervously rubbed against each other.
"When's my birthday?" She asked this question before and asked once again to see if he even cared to look up her birthday after the dinner incident.
"T..That..."
"It's not a difficult question and you have under thirty seconds to respond. It was mentioned during our previous dinner, and I gave a huge hint like literally ten or fifteen minutes ago." She crossed her arms and leaned back on Chen Mu's chest as she waited for his response.
Chen Mu counted, "20...19...18....17...16..."
"Noo!! Give me some time to think! Some time to think!" He looked at Karen, who was still laying on the floor like a celebrity after getting struck by a fan or something. When he looked at her direction for help, she shook her head. Susu also warned, "You can't ask others for help or it counts as cheating."
"Uh!! Karen's birthday is October, so yours is November 2nd! A month after hers!" He said right in time for Chen Mu to reach 0 seconds.
Susu clapped her hands and laughed joyfully. Hearing her laughing, Zin Leung thought he had guessed correctly and in the next second, Susu said, "Yeah, darling. You know what to do." He nodded and made a phone call, "Send all the legal documents related to Yin Corporations breach of contract along with evidence of their yearly under the table revenue to the lawyers. We're suing them for all losses and will leave it up to debt collectors to charge them interest."
"But I guessed right!!!" Zin Leung's heart pounded heavily as he heard Chen Mu's cruel words.
"Who said you had guessed correctly? Also, why would you need to guess? I'm asking for your daughter's birthday, not a stranger's birthday." Susu shook her head.
"But you were laughing!"
"What does laughing have to do with you being correct? I was laughing earlier because of how you still used Karen's birthday to remind yourself of the month of my birthday. You even thought that we had our birthdays on the 2nd of two separate months. Isn't it hilarious? Now that the joke is over, you can grab your trash and leave."
She pointed over at Karen and clearly said it once again, "Scram."
Zin Leung wished he could argue about the evidences that Chen Mu had in hand, but he wouldn't dare because he knew that his company had survived this many years for one reason. That reason was due to the amount of money that he had his accountant hide when doing taxes and business transactions. The money he had slipped into his pocket was what made him this rich and prosperous today.
Even though he had no words to fight against Chen Mu, he did have words for Susu, "You need to help me because you're also a Yin. Regardless of how much you hate this household, you also poured time and effort into this company. You can't watch it tumble to broken bricks."
In response to that, Chen Mu smiled, "You're right, she's still a Yin, but soon, Yin Corps will no longer be called that. It will become Chen Corps. Oh, and this company will be my future bride's dowry. If she doesn't accept it as, dowry, then it'll be my wedding gift for her. If she wants to play with it, build her own business, or destroy it using a bulldozer then that's all on her. She can do whatever she wants with it. And by that time, she won't be a Yin, but a Chen."
Before Zin Leung pulled Karen up by her wrist, Chen Mu hadn't forgotten to remind him, "Also, I need to correct you on another point. It is you guys who will be living off the streets and drowning in a pool of debt. It is you guys who are losing the company and all assets. Not Susu. She's always been the winner."
