Chapter 327
Michael replied, “Grandpa, I didn’t trust Nancy, so I planted two spies by her side. My spies told me she didn’t use
the funds to work on the project. Instead, she embezzled the funds herself.”
“Nonsense,” Nancy was infuriated. “Michael Hinton, don’t you dare frame me.”
“I didn’t embezzle the funds. I’ve used it all to get the project. It’s all in the accounts—”
Michael cut her off. “Hmph, you can falsify the accounts.”
“If you really wanted the project, I’m sure you’ve already drafted the contract earlier. Can you show it to us now?”
Nancy’s face immediately flushed red.
Yes, she had indeed drafted the contract.

But would they believe her if she told them the truth?
Damn it, Zeke. This is all your fault.
As Nancy seemed stumped, Aaron realized Michael must have been right.
He glared at Nancy angrily. “Nancy, where’s the contract you’ve drafted? Show it to me.”
Nancy calmed herself down before she answered, “Grandpa, Lacey’s husband ruined my contract, so I left it at
Linton Group. If you wish to read it, I’ll draft a new one right here...”
“Enough!” Michael roared. “Do you think we are fools to trust you? You weren’t even thinking of getting that
project, so you didn’t draft the contract!”
Nancy was about to cry. “I did draft the contract. If you don’t believe me, I can go get the obsolete contract right
now.”
Michael slammed the table and stood up. “Shut up. Nancy, we trusted you and gave you the authority to handle this
project, but you ended up embezzling the funds! How could you do that to me and the Hinton family?”
Tears welled up in Nancy’s eyes. “Grandpa, I am innocent. I didn’t lie to you!”
Right then, the door was pushed open, and a servant walked in.
“Mr. Hinton, Mr. Daniel Hinton and his family are here.”
Aaron ordered, “Let them enter.”
Nancy was delighted as she said, “Lacey has seen my contract previously. She can prove my innocence.”
Soon, Daniel and his family walked in.
The moment they entered, they sensed that something was amiss.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniel remained calm and was about to greet Aaron when Nancy rushed over to them.
She grabbed Lacey’s hand anxiously. “Lacey, you’ve seen the contract that I drafted for the tourist destination
development project in Whiteridge, right?”
Lacey nodded. “Yes. Sorry, Nancy. My husband didn’t mean to ruin your contract. By the way, he was worried you
might need the contract, so he brought it along with him.”
“Really?” Nancy was elated. “Give it to me now.”
Zeke handed her the contract.
Nancy glowered at Zeke before snatching the contract from him. “Grandpa, this is the contract that I’ve drafted.”
Michael went over at once and took the contract from her. “Lemme see.”
After a while, he muttered, “It is indeed the contract.”
“However, this contract is really simple. You aren’t sincere at all. Did you bring this contract to talk with the person-
in-charge? No wonder he didn’t agree.”
“Did you draft this contract just to satisfy Grandpa?”
