Chapter 258 Innocence
Although Grace’s reaction was unexpected, Samuel didn’t think much of it. He just thought that she was flustered by the turn of
events and hadn’t had time to fully process it.
Hence, he said, “The disciplinary inspection department will find out whether he’s been wrongly accused or not. They’re currently
at the company right now. Would you like to go and have a look, Ms. Lewis?”
Grace looked meaningfully at him, then got up and walked out.
In Timothy’s office, a bunch of people in uniform were currently collecting all kinds of evidence. Timothy was sitting on the couch
with his legs crossed, looking completely unperturbed.
“Have you finished checking? If you have, can you stop interrupting my work?” Timothy said flippantly.
The people in uniform ignored him and continued to look through his things.
Timothy snorted coldly, his gaze gradually becoming icy.
When Grace walked in and saw the scene, she looked extremely displeased. “What are you doing?”
The man in uniform who was leading stopped and greeted Grace. He said, “Hello, Ms. Lewis. We are carrying out our duty.
Someone made a report that Mr. Donegan had used his position to embezzle a huge sum of money.”
Grace’s lip curled as scorn filled her eyes. “After looking for such a long time, have you found anything?”

The people there exchanged glances and said, “Ms. Lewis, we’re still checking. Currently, we haven’t found any useful
information, but...”
At this, the leader looked at Timothy and said hurriedly, “Next, we’ll be checking Mr. Donegan’s bank account to see if there has
been any transfers of huge amounts recently ...”
At this moment, Samuel came up and said, “Ms. Lewis, they’re just doing their job. Let’s not disturb them. They will surely
investigate whether Mr. Donegan embezzled funds or not.
“I believe that these public officials wouldn’t unjustly accuse a good person, and of course they won’t let a criminal go either.”
Timothy was unhappy to hear that and turned to Samuel. “What nonsense are you saying? Who the hell are you calling a
criminal? Speak clearly!”
Samuel replied calmly, “Mr. Donegan, don’t get all worked up. Everything will be investigated.

“Cooperate, my ass! You’re probably the one behind all this!
“I’m telling you, I’m on the straight and narrow, and I don’t care if you investigate me. But if you don’t find anything today, then
you owe me an explanation.”
Samuel looked at Timothy meaningfully. “Mr. Donegan, don’t be so sure of yourself. If we really do find something, it won’t look
good.”
“What the hell are you saying? I’ll beat your ass up!”

Upon seeing this, Grace hurriedly said, “Timothy!”
Timothy looked at Grace, and his temper gradually subsided.
Grace walked over to him and said, “I trust you. I believe that you wouldn’t do anything against this company, and it’s not like you
would want a couple of million dollars anyway.”
Her words calmed Timothy down. After all, Grace was his milady!
“That’s right! I don’t care about just a few million dollars!” Timothy added, looking coldly at Samuel.
Grace’s expression was stern as she continued, “But someone has reported you, and the authorities are investigating according
to protocol. Let’s just cooperate.”
Timothy grunted in agreement and spread his hands. “Go ahead and investigate. I’d like to see what you can find.”
