Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Misappropriation of Public Funds
I remember at that time, Aunt didn’t even let her eat at the same table with their family, but Uncle insisted that she have dinner with them. For Henry Adams, she still had some affection.

Thinking of this, Emily Walker got up and left the villa.

Taking a private car, Emily arrived at the Futuren Group.

Although she didn’t want to bring up this issue, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her uncle becoming homeless and wandering the streets.

She had experienced such suffering before and knew what it was like to be homeless on the street. Besides, her uncle now had a family of four. If they didn’t even have a place to live, how would they survive?

If it weren’t for her mother’s last name being Adams, she really wouldn’t want to get involved in this family’s life or death situation!

Upon arriving at the floor of Baron Stuart’s office, Bennett Philine informed her that Mr. CEO was out attending to something and wasn’t currently at the company!

Emily had made a wasted trip; after asking specifically, she couldn’t confirm when Baron Stuart would return to the company, so she had no choice but to go back first.

As the black car drove through the bustling city, Emily sat in the back seat and thought for a long time before finally deciding to visit the Adams family to assess the situation.

She hadn’t been to this somewhat unfamiliar residence for more than half a year.

When she got out of the car, the scene in front of her was shocking.

A significant crowd had already gathered at the grand entrance of the Adams family home, and judging from their tone, they seemed to be there to collect debts.

Wasn’t it just a high-interest loan from a bank? Why are there so many people here?

Emily glanced at the crowd in front of her, and they didn’t look like they were from the bank because banks usually use legal means to collect debts, not go straight to the debtor’s door like this.

Looking at the scene before her, the grand entrance was tightly closed, and some people at the front door were arrogantly shouting “pay up”; it seemed they would have a fight if they didn’t get their money.

Emily bravely walked forward and pulled aside a man who appeared to be in his fifties, then asked him, “Excuse me, are you all here to collect debts from Henry Adams?”

The man looked at her and said, “Yes!”

“Wasn’t it just the bank that he owed money to?” Emily asked, somewhat puzzled.

At this point, the man’s expression became a bit bitter. “We are all partners with the Adams family. This time, Henry Adams took out a high-interest loan on his own and mortgaged the entire company. So, of course, we want to get our share back!”

Emily still didn’t understand. “Since you are partners, shouldn’t you all take responsibility for the company together if it encounters problems?” So, why are they demanding their share?

“What company problems? It’s because Henry Adams embezzled public funds, which caused the company to face funding shortages and difficulties! That man said angrily.

Emily was stunned, embezzling public funds? How could Uncle do such a thing?

“Why would he embezzle public funds?”

“What else could it be for? His son killed someone in a car accident, and to keep him out of jail, Henry spent all the money on the legal case and bribes! Now both the family and the company have lost everything. They’re really out of luck!” The man finished speaking and continued to demand his debt from the front door.

Emily stood there, stunned. Her uncle’s family had experienced such a significant incident…

Now that the company is closed down, and his son is in jail, the Adams family will soon become homeless and be despised by everyone.
