Zayn couldn't be bothered to waste words with Nadine. He picked up his phone and walked straight to the office
door.
Nadine hurried after him. "Zayn, where are you going?"
Zayn raised an eyebrow. "The restroom. What, you want to helppee?"
Nadine's cheeks flushed. "Ugh, you're so annoying! Not that | would... But | could if I had to."
Zayn took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, swallowing the curse words that nearly slipped out. He headed
straight for the accounting office.
Inside, Caleb was looking at his phone. The moment he saw Zayn enter, he quickly put it down and pretended to
shuffle through sdocuments before standing up. "Mr. Forbes, is there something you need?"
Zayn strode up to him, one hand in his pocket, and asked coldly, "Did you see what was posted on my account?"
"Uh... yes."

"That wasn't me. My father posted it."
"Oh, | see. Is that why you call the way here?" Caleb forced an awkward smile.
Zayn let out a cold laugh. "You're an accountant, and this is how slow you are to react? Take a guess. How do you
think my father got access to Shawn's chat logs?"
Caleb's expression flickered, but he played dumb. "Well, maybe Mr. Joe found sdirt on Shawn..."
"Drop the act," Zayn cut him off, unimpressed.
"Shawn already exposed you. So, tell me, in the three years you've been spying for my father, what exactly have
you done for him?"
Caleb was shocked that Shawn ratted him out. His face turned pale. At that point, trying to lie would be foolish.
He had no choice but to cclean.
"I've never done anything to harm you. | just... reported sirregular financial records to your father, that's
all."
"Irregular financial records?" Zayn was particularly sensitive to those words. Every the transferred funds, it
would technically count as an "irregular financial record."
"What exactly did you find?"
Caleb adjusted his glasses. "For example, the expenses that Mrs. Forbes has been covering for you."
Zayn froze. He hadn't expected to hear the words "Mrs. Forbes." To keep Josephine off Joe's radar, he had done
everything in his power to distance her from Forbes Group.
For the past three years, she had never been involved in any company affairs. As far as he knew, she had
nothing to do with the company. So, what expenses could possibly have her non them?
He felt uneasy. "What expenses has she been covering?"
"Uh... Mainly your personal expenses. Things like business dinners or gifts. The company has strict policies-any
expenses exceeding a certain amount require shareholder approval. If they're entered into the records without
approval, it's considered illegal.
"But over the years, especially in the past six months, you've submitted an overwhelming number of
personal expense reports. The

company's cash flow couldn't cover it So, | had to call Mrs. Forbes for assistance, and she covered the
difference."
"What did you just say?" Zayn was stunned. He was shocked to find out that Josephine had been paying off his
personal expenses. That meant that he had been living off her money this entire time.
Seeing his shock, Caleb pulled out a box filled with documents.
Mrs. Forbes is here. I'll-net
"If you don't believe me, see for yourself. Every expense linked to Mrs. Forbes is here. I'll be handing these
records over to your father Not to betray you, but if I don't handle these properly, I'm the one whe'll end up in
prison. | need to protect myself."
At that moment, Zayn didn't care about Joe any more. His mind was completely consumed by one thought-
Josephine.
