Chapter 171 The Fall of The House of Bennett Elliot was shocked enough .
When did become the legal representative of Bennett Corporation ! When Elliot was hauled into a police car , his face was a mask of disbelief .
His mind raced , trying to recall any recent company documents that might have named him as legal representative, but nothing came to mind .
He knew the risks only too well .
When a company engaged in illegal activities , the legal representative bore the brunt of the consequences , which are administrative penalties , crippling fines , and even criminal charges .
Enough to ruin a man financially and socially .
As a result , large corporations rarely listed their actual CEOs as legal representatives .
This cant be right .
Its impossible ! Elliot finally snapped out of his daze , struggling violently against the officers .
Youve got the wrong person ! Im not the legal representative .
I know nothing about this ! But the police remained unmoved , coldly informing him that resistance was futile .
Josh staggered into the Brookers Villa , dark circles under his eyes , and collapsed on the sofa with a groan .
Ahhh finally , comfort .
Anna , the maid , barely looked up from her cleaning , Working late again ? Late ? Josh rubbed his face dramatically .
I pulled an all nighter .
If our boss were an ancient emperor , hed be a full fledged tyrant .
Im practically a dried up husk at this point Do you have that many complaints about me ? Felixs deep , magnetic voice cut through the room .
Josh shot up as if hed been electrocuted , his face instantly splitting into a dazzling grin .
Not at all ! In my heart , you are the sun that warms my cold , weary soul ! He even placed a hand over his heart for added sincerity .
Anna and Marilyn burst out laughing , lightening the mood Felix came down the stairs and sat across from Josh , one eyebrow arched .
So ! How did it go ! Josh puffed out his chest .
Not only is the Bennett Corporation bankrupt , but I made a major discovery He paused for effect , waiting for Felixs reaction .
Felix , however , barely looked up from the financial newspaper hed picked up .
And that is ? Undeterred , Josh cleared his throat .
Our investigation revealed that David had already sold his shares and transferred all the cash into an account in Sharons name .
The companys funds were drained , and there were massive financial and tax violations .
Even without our interference , Bennett Corporation wouldve collapsed soon enough .
Oh , and one more thing Elliot was secretly made legal representative months ago .
And guess who authorized it ? David Felix finally put down the newspaper .
Well , well .
Not only had Bennett Corporation been gutted , but Elliot had been set up by his own father David … what a talented man , Felix mused , a smirk on his lips .
The sarcasm was thick Josh couldnt wrap his head around it .
Flow could a man destroy his on company , embezzle the money to his mistress , and then throw his son under the best The sheer audacity was mind boggling Felix leaned back , his fingers drumming on the armrest I wanted to play with Elliot a little longer .
Too bad he turned out to besa .
useless Yep .
Hes probably in handcuffs by now , Josh said .
As a legal representative , hes looking at a few years in jail .
Just then , an urgent voice echoed from the entrance : Marilyn , let me in ! I need to talk to Lauren .
Its important ! Rubbing his tired eyes , Josh frowned .
Marilyn , whos that ?
