The Secret Billionaire in Disguise

CHAPTER SEVEN: EXAMINATION

No one dared to speak until Daniel finished slapping Jeffery repeatedly.

"Stop, stop!'

Jeffery’s jaw was swollen, and he quickly begged for mercy. "Now tell me what's going on," Daniel demanded. Jeffery's eyes darted around as if he was thinking of another excuse, but Daniel didn't even listen and slapped him again. Daniel had no mercy because he was almost certain that this bastard was causing trouble. "Stop, I'II talk!" Jeffery's head was buzzing, afraid that Daniel would continue to slap him endlessly and he would end up in the hospital.

"Daniel!

What are you doing!" Suddenly, a voice rang out. The closed gate of the magnificent Hughes Group suddenly opened, and a greasy middle-aged man came out. He saw Daniel daring to hit a little boy and his face changed. "Daniel, our top priority is to protect our customers! What are you doing now? Do you want the company to make tomorrow's headlines!?"

He spoke and directed several security guards to move forward. But Sophia’s cold voice sounded, "Why didn't you come out earlier?" "Who is he to you? Who the hell are you..." The middle-aged greasy man, with a beer belly, roared recklessly, but when he saw Sophia slowly walking towards him from the crowd, he was stunned. "Boss?" Boss… His mouth felt dry, and his heart was roaring madly.

"What's going on? Wasn't she supposed to still be at the cafe?"

He had planned to strip her of her power today and then split the company with his partner. How did she suddenly appear here? He was so nervous that his thighs were shaking uncontrollably. Seeing him like this, Sophia's face grew even colder.

Prince Sheriff", I'm asking you a question!"

Although she didn't like this man, he had always been dedicated, so she kept him in the company and entrusted him with important tasks.

"I… I "Prince's mouth was trembling and he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

The security guards around him, seeing Sophia automatically formed a human barrier.

"Miss Hughes, it's a bit chaotic here.

Let's go inside first."

One of the security guards seemed to kindly suggest.

"Yes, yes. Let's go inside the company first!" Prince immediately agreed, but he was planning to use the news of Daniel's assault to completely ruin the company. This way, he could at least complete his mission.

However, before Sophia could speak, the crowd began to stir again. They were gathered outside the Hughes Group building, but there was no sound of protest.

They were lucky to have run into the company's CEO this time and were able to say a few words and voice their grievances.

But what about the future? Who knew how

Sophia planned to resolve this matter.

If she decided to ignore it, what could they, a group of poor people, do?

"Go inside?

I still have something to deal with!"

Daniel looked coldly at the security guard and Prince Sheriff. These two were treacherous! Even if Sophia entered the company, no matter what happened afterward, the reputation of Hughes would be ruined! "Do you have anything to say here?" Prince Sheriff didn't show any respect for him. Daniel was a useless person who had been living off the Hughes family for five years. No one respected him! Daniel glanced at him and stopped Sophia. Want to stir things up?

Dream on! When they entered the company later, he would show them who's boss! He calmly said to the swollen Jeffery, "You continue." Jeffery saw Prince and his eyes flickered. He seemed to want to say something, but Daniel spoke indifferently,

"Have you made up your mind?" His voice was so calm that Jeffery Timberlake felt a chill from head to toe. This devil! "I, I'll talk!" He weakly pointed to several people in the crowd whose faces had changed drastically and began to betray them without hesitation.

"They all came up with the bad idea," he said.

"I heard that the company is facing some challenges, and it might go bankrupt, so they wanted to make some money. The old lady who just died had been terminally ill for a long time. She just used the stimulating medicine she got from your company to end her life on purpose." "And among this group of people, there are indeed some who have had problems with their bodies after taking your medicine, but that's because they didn't follow the doctor's orders and took it on purpose."

"Others, their bodies are more or less problematic, it has nothing to do with your drugs.

Many of them were saved by Mr. Daniel, so they think they can bully you..." He said a

sentence, and many people in the crowd changed their faces.

While Jeffery talked a lot, he saw that the devil in front of him was still looking at him coldly, and he cried directly, "Brother, please spare me. I have already said everything I know!"

"No, you haven't..." Daniel seemed to imply something, and Jeffery was completely stunned by his direct slap. Now he felt like there was still a ringing in his ears and could only beg for mercy, "Really, brother, I have already said everything I know...

"Have you forgotten?" Daniel ignored him, and his calm eyes seemed to be looking at a greasy middle-aged man with an unpleasant

face.

Now Jeffery completely reacted, but he was still a little hesitant. Prince was the vice president of Hughes Group. If he offended him, he might not have a good ending. But seeing Daniel’s palm about to be raised again, he was suddenly terrified and hurriedly pointed at Prince,

"Yes, him!

It's all because of him that we have the opportunity to stand here!"

As he spoke, he looked at Daniel in a flattering way, "Otherwise, why didn't we get a response downstairs for so long? Look...

The sound of the last two words was almost

disappearing, and Daniel finally let him go,

"Get lost."

Although this kid was shameless, he was also smart. This was also a reason. If he hadn't brought Sophia here today, and the gate of Hughes Group had been closed all the time, tomorrow's headlines would probably be terrifying, "Shocking! The cheap and good drugs of Hughes Group are poisonous!"

Prince never expected to be bitten by Jeffery.

"Are you crazy?

If you talk nonsense again, I'II kill you!" His ferocious expression scared Jeffery, who left with a cigarette in his mouth despite the pain on his face. "Let's talk about it when we get back!" Sophia saw everything and felt complicated. She never expected that a storm that could destroy Hughes would be calmed down by Daniel’s involvement. This made her even more curious about Daniel’s identity. What was the purpose of this decisiveness and ability that made him willing to be a waste for five years? Seeing Prince Sheriff sweating profusely, she sighed inwardly. Regardless of whether Jeffery’s accusation was true or not, it seemed that Prince was involved in the company's theft. "No! No way! I always let you down, but please help me!" Suddenly, someone rushed out and knelt on the ground without touching Sophia. He looked disheveled and seemed not to have taken a bath for many days. "Miss Hughes, I have nowhere to go now! Please help me again!" He begged incessantly but didn't expect the show to be ruined today.

However, the loan deadline was today! If he couldn't pay it back, he would be done for!

"Yes! Miss Hughes, please help us again!"

I have no other choice! You see, you have so much money, just give us a little!" Suddenly, the crowd collapsed like a mountain falling and a jade pillar breaking.

Sophia looked at them, feeling a bit at a loss. Although she appeared to be heartless, she was quite soft-hearted. Many of these people were once in need of money and desperately prayed for help. In the end, they had no choice but to turn to her. Now, it seemed to have become a vicious cycle, with more and more people coming to her for help. It seemed like this was something she should do.

Daniel stood by, watching coldly. He wasn't a heartless person, but what was the situation with these people? Most of them weren't even sick, and the one with the most serious injury only had a few broken ribs.

Moreover, most of them had been helped by Sophia, and now they had become like this!

"Enough,"

He said, reaching out to embrace the bewildered Sophia. "Let's go back first."

Sophia looked at him blankly, her mind in a fog because of what had happened that day. She had helped these people before.

"No, you can't leave!" The crowd was incensed, but no one dared to step forward, as Jeffery’s fate was a warning to them all.

"We can't leave?" Daniel scanned the crowd, but no one dared to meet his gaze. "Jeffery, you said you had no other choice, but I can find you a job. The daily wage will be enough for you to pay back your debts."

"What?" Jeffery was dumbfounded. He had come to Sophia because he didn't want to work. But he was able-bodied, and if he wanted to find a job, he wouldn't starve to death.

"And you, you were the one who cursed the most just now, saying that your mother had problems because of our company’s drugs.

Now it seems like you're still not satisfied."

Daniel calmly looked at the man with a ferocious expression in the crowd. " I call someone right now, and I'll pay for the examination. If your mother did have problems because of our company’s medicine, I'll give you twenty million."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Twenty million?

They didn't even dare to think about such a large sum of money!

"But…”

Daniel saw the twisted smile on the man's face and said indifferently, "If it's not true, then I'II have you sent to prison for fraud. Do you know how many years you'll be sentenced for that?"

His voice echoed in the silent place, softly but with a chilling tone.

"So, what do you say? Do you agree?"
