《The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince》Chapter 168 - Closed-Door Meeting (2)
Advertisement
Lily's eyes flung wide open when she saw that Dawn had brought Daryn and Gayle with her. Though she didn't blurt out the anger at her, on the inside she seethed. Clare's daughter was being an eyesore. The sooner she was eliminated, the better it would be. She averted her gaze from Dawn and didn't reply to her greetings.
Dawn wasn't even expecting it. She was intending to go there alone to attend the meeting, however, the minute Gayle came to know, he said, he would join her. This was something he didn't want to miss. His daughter-in-law had the guts and the brains to tackle the whole Company and he couldn't help but admire her. He had to back her. As for Daryn, it was a give in—he had to follow his mate for the fear that she was going alone in a den of jackals and snakes.
Dawn looked at her wristwatch and said with a frown, "You need to hurry up the meeting. We all have other appointments." She went and sat down on the right of Daniel Hughes and the two men followed her.
"We have waited for you for forty-five minutes and you are saying that you don't have time? Do we look like a bunch of clowns to you?" growled Anne.
Dawn raised her eyebrow and ignored Anne. She looked at Lily and said, "You all have a knack of understanding things nicely!"
Anne was furious but Helena pressed her hand and she stopped from speaking. Helena stared at Gayle and he returned the favor with a mocking smile.
Without wasting another minute Lily pushed a set of documents to her. She pointed at them with her chin and said, "These are legal papers, which implicate you and say that you have malicious intent for trying to sabotage us because you are claiming your father's wealth. Everything that you have written in the paper is false. In short, you are going to jail and even if you take this case to the court, it is going to take years before any concrete decision would come out." She glared at her with her cold grey eyes and hissed, "Keep dreaming of taking my money, Dawn! It never belonged to you and it never will!"

Daryn let out a low growl. Jason, who was sitting right behind Helena, became uncomfortable.
Dawn smoothened an imaginary crease from her shift dress. She crossed her leg and poked her cheek with her tongue. Then she took out a set of papers from her folder and slid them across to Lily. "In that case you should check out these documents. These are sheets that say that all the charges that I have leveled against you are just the tip of the iceberg." She looked at the lawyer who was sitting next to Daniel. He produced two more folders, each thick as a notebook and slid them towards David.
The lawyer said, "These documents have complete proof that your Company was into illegal activities. We have records that you have indulged into bribing government officials. Also we have several people on record saying that they were involved in carrying out your nefarious activities. Not only that, you have siphoned off Company's funds to foreign bank accounts using shell companies."
David grew uneasy. The werewolves in the meeting sensed it. They looked at him coldly.
"These accusations are false! I am going to fight you in court," he spat at them.
"You should take a look at the papers in my opinion before even thinking of going to the court," said the lawyer.
Helena clutched the armrest of her chair. It was her plan to siphon off the funds from the Company. She had made David and Anne do it and she was a part of the conduit. Through her resources she had embezzled millions of dollars in their Swiss accounts. If these accusations came out in public, she knew that she would be behind the jail sooner than anyone else.
"Shut up!" Lily growled at the lawyer. "How dare you accuse us of stealing our own money?" Then she looked at Dawn and said, "You are such a petty wench!"

"Mind your language!" Gayle warned. "Else we are going to use that too against you."
Dawn smirked. "Check these papers before you say anything. They even contain the account numbers through which the money was channelized to the Swiss accounts." She leaned forward towards her Grandmother and said in a low voice, "I am going to get back all the money that you guys took from me and Cole. I am Luke Wyatt's daughter and trust me I am not going to rest until that money is back to the place it belongs to." Her gaze shifted to David, Anne and Helena. "Send the money back as soon as possible, else you are going to face serious consequences."
Helena tried to threaten. "Do what you want to do. There's not a modicum of truth in your accusations. You can go ahead and file the court case. We will fight tooth and nail."
Lily looked at her lawyer and said, "You move this case to the court. I am filing the case formally against Dawn Wyatt. Within three days she is going to be behind bars." Then she looked at Daryn and scoffed. "You can forget about marrying her!" She tilted her head and continued, "However, if you agree on marrying Cecilia, I will drop charges against Dawn. I know how much you cherish her." She smiled. This was her trump card. Now Daryn would be under immense pressure. She knew that she had played perfectly. There was no wiggle room. Daryn and Gayle were trapped. Foolish people. They shouldn't have backed Dawn. Now they had to pay for it. "The day you have announced your wedding with Dawn, that day let's just switch the brides. Instead of Dawn, you will marry Cecilia. They are cousin sisters. No one will raise a question." Lily was so satisfied on the inside. The way her plans were clicking in the right place, she was marveling her sharp brains. Once Daryn would marry Cecilia, she was still going to put Dawn in jail forever. Lily relaxed in her seat looking pleased.
Daryn smiled and shook his head. He dug his coat pocket and took out a folded paper. "Please read it," he said.
Lily thought that Daryn was already prepared for the deal and so he was presenting her with his conditions. She was ready to accept them. She bent forward to pick up the paper and opened it with a smile. The smile vanished from her face when she read the first words.

She went on to read further and by the time she finished it, her face was pale like a ghost. Her hands shook uncontrollably.
"What is it Mother?" Anne asked.
Lily gulped. Her lips quivered and she dropped the paper on the table. David grabbed it and read it. He became paler. He knew that along with this report, they were all in deep shit. He passed the paper to Anne.
It was a report from the hospital, which stated that Cole Wyatt was drugged. The blood sample test report was written in bold letters. At the bottom of the signed report, it was written that the fifteen year old child was given drugs without his knowledge, which was a severe crime—a crime to send Lily behind jail forever.
