Chapter 1200 That’s Slander
Gina stared at the papers, and her legs buckled. She almost fell to the ground. Her countenance was as white as
marble, and she was in a state of disbelief. She couldn't believe Nicole found her secret account that easily, and she
stared at her in horror. "H-How did you find out?" she hissed.
She thought she'd done a good job keeping it a secret. Even though the base did have some dealings with the
science academy, it wasn't serious enough to be kept a secret. Or, at least the ones they showed to the public were
trivial enough to be out in the open. The secret account, however, was different. If that was found, she would
definitely have to go to prison.

That account recorded all her personal dealings with the science academy. She sold the base's items to the science
academy and pocketed all the profit for herself.
Nicole didn't answer. She merely stared at the screen and typed away; the air filled with the clacking of the
keyboard. A while later, she stopped, the look on her face relaxed, and she chuckled. "We pay you a hundred and
fifty grand per year, director. Yet you have… a few dozen million in your account. Two years ago, you bought so
many houses across the nation, they were valued at a hundred and fifty million in total. You won't tell me anything
stupid like you made that money yourself, will you?"
Gina took a deep breath and calmed down. She stared at Nicole and gritted her teeth. "I did some research over
the years and made money through my patents and work.
"Then, how do you explain these?" Nicole hurled a stack of papers at her, and they fluttered to the ground. These

were records of Gina's dealings with the science academy, and Gina had no way to escape this situation.
She paled, clenching her fists, still in disbelief at how fast Nicole did things. Before she could even say anything,
someone knocked on the door, and in came a few dozen people, filling up the office. Roxanna was in the lead. She
looked at the ashen Gina and turned to Nicole.
"Miss Anderson, I know you're the heir of the base, but all these years, Ms. Feuer has devoted herself to the base,
making sure it runs well. Every time the cash flow gets in trouble, she's the one who solved the matter for us."
Nicole narrowed her eyes. Oh, so she's trying to say that Gina didn't take the money for herself and instead used it
in the base?
Gina looked a lot more relieved, and she turned to Nicole. She said hoarsely, "I know you think I betrayed the base,
Miss Anderson, but it's been a hard time for us. The base would've closed down if not for what I did."

My gods, she thinks that justification is valid. Nicole laughed. How brazen. They can just come up with any excuse
they want. She chuckled. "Then, tell me what you did with the money. Any records? Witnesses? Evidence?"
Gina had no idea how to answer the barrage of questions.
Roxanna stood in front of her, arguing, "Miss Anderson, if you don't trust Ms. Feuer, then you shouldn't be asking
her any questions at all. We've witnessed the work she put in. If you want to take over the base, just say it. You don't
have to accuse Ms. Feuer of something she didn't do just for that."
How laughable. Nicole almost burst out laughing. The evidence is clear. Gina sold the base's items to line her
pockets, but now they're accusing me of slander because I want to take back the base?
