Ethan saw that the situation was ripe and prepared to close the net.
"Stella, considering that you've been my wife for three years and how well the Qin family has treated you, don't go too far!"
What a joke.
Ethan was trying to push me into a corner.
I grabbed Nolan, who was about to argue, and he turned to look at me, his eyes full of heartache.
I had already calmed down and said, "These assets originally belonged to my Leng family.
What does it have to do with your Qin Group?"
As soon as these words came out, the employees who were unaware of the truth began to look suspiciously at Elaine and Evelyn.
Elaine froze for a moment, then immediately started cursing to cover up her guilty conscience.
Evelyn straightened her back even more and shouted about calling the police.
"Stella, you've gone too far! You're so stubborn, aren't you? Then let the police come and judge whether your actions as an ex-wife trying to seize the Qin Group's assets are legal or not!"
They had dropped all pretense by now.
Ethan tenderly supported Evelyn's waist, not forgetting to remind her, "Be careful, don't hurt the baby."
The two of them were about to call the police when Elaine quickly stopped them.
She put on a condescending air and said to me, "Stella, I can give you half of the company's shares.
Don't be ungrateful.
If this really blows up, it won't be good for anyone!"
"Fine, then go ahead and call the police."
I interrupted Elaine's hypocritical words that followed, feeling sick to my stomach.
Ethan saw that I was unmoved and still wanted to say something.
Nolan quickly added, "How can this man who betrayed his marriage be so quick-tempered? Sis, you worked diligently at the Qin Group for three years.
What right do they have to blame you? If it were me, I would only feel distressed for you!"
With that, Ethan and the others were truly enraged and directly dialed the police.
As the saying goes, the wicked are the first to file a complaint, and these words are not unfounded.
When I arrived at the police station, I saw a young officer attentively listening to Ethan's statement.
"Ma'am, you..."
The young officer hadn't finished speaking when he saw Nolan following me inside.
His expression showed obvious surprise and unease.
The unspoken words seemed difficult for him to organize at the moment.
I guessed that Ethan might not have mentioned to him that Nolan Han, the big boss of the Han Group, would also be present.
The young officer quickly adjusted his state and tried to appear professional.
He said nervously, "President Han is here too.
Please have a seat.
We will...
will handle this matter according to procedure."
Nolan nodded in acknowledgment and then walked to my side.
"We'll cooperate with the investigation, Stella."
he said.
Nolan said softly.
The young officer returned to his desk, trying to put on a serious expression.
"Please, both parties state your case."
he said.
Nolan and Ethan sat on opposite sides, both waiting for further questioning.
I was about to speak when Evelyn and Elaine barged in, crying and wailing.
The two of them spoke over each other, portraying me as a vicious woman who had committed all sorts of sins and wanted to seize her ex-husband's company.
I noticed that the young officer seemed at a loss but still tried his best to take notes.
"Ms.
Leng, do you have anything to say."
he asked.
"Officer, shouldn't we look at the evidence first."
Nolan suggested.
The young officer nodded eagerly, as if he had been granted a great reprieve.
"Yes, yes, please present your evidence."
I took out a stack of documents.
"These are the asset transfer records of the Qin Group, as well as proof of my father's shareholding."
As another officer read out the contents of the documents, everyone present showed surprised expressions.
Ethan's face turned ugly, and he took out a few checks and placed them on the table.
"Considering your contributions to the Qin Group, take this money.
Don't be too greedy; know when to stop."
I let out a cold laugh.
"This amount is far from enough.
I want all the shares and assets that rightfully belong to me."
The young officer seemed at a loss seeing us like this.
"Officer, don't be nervous."
Nolan said casually, patting the young officer's shoulder.
"Wait a moment."
I interrupted, breaking the awkward situation.
The young officer calmed down a bit and asked, "Ms.
Leng, do you have anything else to add?"
Just then, Zoe's voice came from outside, and I couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Ms.
Leng, I brought it."
Zoe ran towards me excitedly.
At Nolan's gesture, the onlookers automatically made way.
I had just taken the folder Zoe handed me when Elaine tried to rush over and snatch it.
I nimbly stepped aside, dodging her hand.
"Don't be in a hurry."
I said coldly, looking at Ethan's family, who had blank expressions on their faces.
Fortunately, my father had the foresight to worry that Ethan might not be reliable and had me keep this as a backup.
