Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Misappropriation of Public Funds
I remember at that time, Aunt didnât even let her eat at the same table with their family, but Uncle insisted that she have dinner with them. For Henry Adams, she still had some affection.
Thinking of this, Emily Walker got up and left the villa.
Taking a private car, Emily arrived at the Futuren Group.

Although she didnât want to bring up this issue, she couldnât help but feel sorry for her uncle becoming homeless and wandering the streets.
She had experienced such suffering before and knew what it was like to be homeless on the street. Besides, her uncle now had a family of four. If they didnât even have a place to live, how would they survive?
If it werenât for her motherâs last name being Adams, she really wouldnât want to get involved in this familyâs life or death situation!
Upon arriving at the floor of Baron Stuartâs office, Bennett Philine informed her that Mr. CEO was out attending to something and wasnât currently at the company! freÄwÄbΡovel.c૦m
Emily had made a wasted trip; after asking specifically, she couldnât confirm when Baron Stuart would return to the company, so she had no choice but to go back first.
As the black car drove through the bustling city, Emily sat in the back seat and thought for a long time before finally deciding to visit the Adams family to assess the situation.
She hadnât been to this somewhat unfamiliar residence for more than half a year.
When she got out of the car, the scene in front of her was shocking.
A significant crowd had already gathered at the grand entrance of the Adams family home, and judging from their tone, they seemed to be there to collect debts.
Wasnât it just a high-interest loan from a bank? Why are there so many people here?
Emily glanced at the crowd in front of her, and they didnât look like they were from the bank because banks usually use legal means to collect debts, not go straight to the debtorâs door like this.
Looking at the scene before her, the grand entrance was tightly closed, and some people at the front door were arrogantly shouting âpay upâ; it seemed they would have a fight if they didnât get their money.
Emily bravely walked forward and pulled aside a man who appeared to be in his fifties, then asked him, âExcuse me, are you all here to collect debts from Henry Adams?â
The man looked at her and said, âYes!â
âWasnât it just the bank that he owed money to?â Emily asked, somewhat puzzled.
At this point, the manâs expression became a bit bitter. âWe are all partners with the Adams family. This time, Henry Adams took out a high-interest loan on his own and mortgaged the entire company. So, of course, we want to get our share back!â
Emily still didnât understand. âSince you are partners, shouldnât you all take responsibility for the company together if it encounters problems?â So, why are they demanding their share?
âWhat company problems? Itâs because Henry Adams embezzled public funds, which caused the company to face funding shortages and difficulties! That man said angrily.
Emily was stunned, embezzling public funds? How could Uncle do such a thing?
âWhy would he embezzle public funds?â
âWhat else could it be for? His son killed someone in a car accident, and to keep him out of jail, Henry spent all the money on the legal case and bribes! Now both the family and the company have lost everything. Theyâre really out of luck!â The man finished speaking and continued to demand his debt from the front door.
Emily stood there, stunned. Her uncleâs family had experienced such a significant incidentâŚ
Now that the company is closed down, and his son is in jail, the Adams family will soon become homeless and be despised by everyone.
