The Dragon Seal Novel

Chapter 22 - Jeanne’s Interrogation


“F*ck, who is it?”

Carter and Iris complained.

Then, the lights turned off. When Carter and Iris saw the car in front of them, their eyes could not help but brighten.

They were after all people with good taste, so they more or less knew about cars.

Especially Iris. Although she only drove an Audi A4 of at least 300,000, it was mandatory for her to be able to identify the price of a commodity.

“It’s the new Mercedes S-Class AMG, priced at three million!”

Iris’s eyebrows raised at the luxury car worth three million in front of her. Her pretty face was flushed charmingly.

She was always very enthusiastic towards successful people who could afford to drive luxury cars like this.

Just when Iris was about to go up and get acquainted with the other party with a smile on her face, the door of the Mercedes-Benz opened and a figure came down.

When they saw the person’s face, everyone present including Jeanne was stunned.

“You?!”

Iris looked at Augustus with an incredulous expression.

“What about me?”

“You… Where did this car come from? I know. You must be driving someone else’s car, right?”

“Oh, you’re talking about the car? Skylar said she doesn’t want to ride an electric bike anymore, so I just bought a four-wheel drive. Why? Is there a problem?”

Iris almost vomited blood.

He just bought a random car to drive?

This was a luxury car worth three million! Did he think he was buying a toy car?!

Jeanne also walked towards Augustus. She held Augustus’s arm and looked at Iris.

“As you can see, I’m doing quite well now. I don’t seem to need financial help from you rich people!” 

Iris noticed the sarcasm in Jeanne’s words.

They could afford to drive a luxury car worth three million, which was worth more than ten of her own. Of course they did not need her financial help.

The thing Iris hated seeing the most in this world was other people better than her, especially when it was Jeanne. Now that Jeanne had left her far behind with just one car, Iris was humiliated and angry that she wanted to go up and slap the woman.

At that moment, Augustus was a little confused. This was the first time Jeanne took the initiative to take his arm!

Although he knew that Jeanne only did it to deliberately anger Iris, this intimate action still made him feel very happy.

Especially since Jeanne’s body accidentally leaned too close to him. Augustus could clearly feel the fullness of her body, making his heart fill with a flurry of thoughts.

“Jeanne, I really underestimated you!”

Carter put on a fake smile. “It seems you’ve treated yourself to a lot of favors these years in Harrington Corp.”

Iris came to a realization and reacted as well. “That’s right, you must have embezzled the company’s money. Otherwise, how could you afford a luxury car worth three million with your income?”

Jeanne immediately retorted, “Don’t be ridiculous. I’ve worked for the company for so many years. I’ve never taken a penny more than I was given!”

“Oh, really? Then tell us how you could afford such an expensive car. Your dividends were cut off now too.”

“I…”

Jeanne was momentarily speechless.

This car was driven over by Augustus. How would she know?

Seeing Jeanne shrink, Carter looked smug. “What? Can’t think of an excuse? How dare you say you didn’t embezzle the company’s money!”

“Good job, Jeanne. Grandma trusted you so much, but I didn’t expect that you’d do such a thing. Just you wait. I’ll go back and tell Grandma about what you did!”

Iris took the opportunity to hit her while she was down.

Jeanne’s face flushed red with anger. Just as she was about to defend herself, Augustus spoke up next to her, “I was the one who bought the car. It has nothing to do with Jeanne. She didn’t take a single penny from the company.”

As soon as those words were spoken, Iris and Carter burst into laughter.

“Augustus, if you’re going to lie, at least try to make it convincing. You’re just a man who lives in his wife’s house. Where did you get the money?”

“That’s right. Everyone in Halmont knows that you’re living off a woman, yet you still dare to say that you can afford a luxury car worth three million? Are you still dreaming?”

Iris and Carter naturally did not believe Augustus. Even Jeanne did not believe him.

“It’s up to you whether or not you want to believe me. Jeanne, stop wasting time on them. Let’s go home!”

“I’ll give you the official seal when I arrive at the company tomorrow. As for whether you want to complain to Grandmother or not, do as you please!”

Then, Jeanne picked up Skylar while still holding onto Augustus’s arm and went upstairs.

“This family is getting more and more arrogant!”

Iris looked at the three figures and gnashed her teeth in hatred. Then, she looked at the three million Mercedes-Benz beside her and went green with jealousy.

Carter scoffed. “Come on, it’s just a car. If Jeanne can afford it, you’ll be able to afford it sooner or later too. Don’t forget, you’re the sales director now and Jeanne’s immediate superior. Do you think you won’t have the chance to deal with her?”

“You’re right. I forgot about that!”

Iris’s mouth curled in a cold smile. “Jeanne, how dare you challenge me. I’ll make you pay for it!”

At that point, Augustus and the others had returned home.

The moment they entered the door, Jeanne called Augustus to the bedroom.

“Tell me. Where did you get a three million Mercedes-Benz and the money inside?”

Smack.. The bank card was placed right in front of Augustus.
