"Your team has been keeping an eye on David, how could..."
Ducray had intended to ask how David could have still gotten his hands on his weaknesses, but realizing that this matter shouldn't be leaked, he had to change his words and said, "Forget it, let's just end it here, unfreeze that fund for GCO right away!"
"What?!"
Bellamy's face changed drastically, utterly in disbelief of what he had just heard.
"I said, unfreeze the fund for GCO, are you deaf or what?"
Mainly because Bellamy had told him that David was already being watched, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.
But what he hadn't expected was that David, who was supposed to be under surveillance, had silently obtained two pieces of damaging evidence against him. Strictly speaking, this was a serious dereliction of duty on Bellamy's part, which was why Ducray was so infuriated now.
Having his concerns confirmed, Bellamy was nearly out of his wits at this point.
What the hell was going on?
Wasn't their Chief Tax Officer a staunch supporter of him? And once this tax money entered David's account, what was the point of his grand 'Deification Project'?
"The Chief told me to unfreeze GCO's funds."
"What! How could..."
Just like Bellamy before, Trollope couldn't believe his own ears upon hearing this.
But then, recalling David who had just left the Chief's office, it suddenly dawned on him, and he murmured, "The Chief wouldn't do this unless David... has something on him, forcing his hand."
"That's what I think too... Damn it!"
Bellamy looked up at Trollope and demanded, "Weren't you keeping a close watch on David and his crew? What the hell did he do yesterday?"
Bellamy couldn't understand how David, who had only been in Los Angeles for a day, managed to deal with GCO Corporation and even threaten their Chief.
And this was on their turf!
Now Bellamy suddenly realized why their Chief Ducray was so angry.
Being threatened like this on one's own turf, and having to reluctantly comply in the end, who wouldn't fly into a rage?
