Chapter 174: A Night Of Justice

Gravity Ventures was Evan’s financial company. It worked as an investment enterprise, opening opportunities for small companies and private individuals to grow their funds with minimum risk. Gravity Ventures would invest pooled money in assets based on specific management objectives. Most of the time, they are placed in stock markets.

Rose Hills has never been Gravity Ventures’ biggest market. It bloomed in cities like Lockwood, Hamlin, and, as of recently, Braeton. However, that year, Evan chose to widen Rose Hills’ knowledge about investment companies. He meant to do this by sponsoring a private party, inviting all wealthy families of Rose Hills, politicians, executives from different companies, and the media.

Evan purposely invited Brooklyn, the new CEO of Balance Point Accounting Firm. Her entire family had also been invited. He did not think it would work, but fortunately for him and his friends, Brooklyn was desperate to strengthen the firm’s influence after her divorce from Sean. It was clear with how she and her father quickly mingled into the crowd, introducing themselves and the services they offered.

The party was held at the Diamond Hotel Rose Hills grand ballroom. There were over two hundred guests dressed in luxury evening wear. Everyone was merrily drinking wine and eating canapes when the host announced that the formal program would begin.

As Evan walked up on stage, visitors settled in their seats to welcome everybody. As always, Evan looked dashing in his custom-made suit. His intense dark brown eyes made him appear more intimidating. He said, “Gravity Ventures, being under the Thompson Group of Companies, wishes to invite more business partners, and that’s why you are all here today, for I consider each one of you as potential partners. To understand fully what Gravity Ventures is all about, allow me to show you in this brief presentation.”

Next, a thirty-minute video of the company’s goals and achievements was presented through the LED screen. It featured successful clients who had doubled their money since their investments, and that all the more enlightened the guests.

After the video presentation, Evan returned to the podium and announced, “Now, we are aiming for bigger and better business, starting with getting one of the best accountants on board with me as my new CFO. Yes, that’s right. The Thompson Group of Companies has a new CFO. He has probably worked with some of you, auditing your business or personal expenses.” 1 “Before separating from Balance Point Accounting Firm, he was the city’s most sought-after external accountant.” Evan smiled. “And I am pleased to announce that he has finally joined my company.”

Evan began to highlight Sean’s achievements, for he was the official auditor of the city hall. He said, “Remember the missing funds from the governor’s office? My friend, Sean

Ross, traced it down to the former governor’s wife’s plastic surgery.” “It was the same for me. Sean was the same person who caught my previous CFO stealing from my company, but he isn’t just about having a good eye. Recently, Sean has opened my eyes to potential assets that were gaining fast in the stock market.” Evan went on and on, praising his friend. Then he added, “With him on board, you can be assured that your money is safe, the company is safe, and all financial reports are identified, recorded, measured, and communicated.” “It was a loss for Balance Point Accounting Firm but a big win for me,” Evan said, smiling from ear to ear.

The crowd chuckled, clapping their hands at Evan, but Brooklyn was frowning profusely at one table. She had just walked around, introducing the firm that she now solely earned, and now, Evan was slowly discrediting her company.

Brooklyn was certainly glad she was here. That way, she could sway the guests to use their service. She was confident that the party would land her a client or two, and all she had to do was to use her so-called innocent charms. Evan’s words will have minimal effect on them.

“Please help me welcome my friend and the new CFO of the Thompson Group of Companies, Mister Sean Ross!” Evan said on stage.

Everyone stood up to welcome Sean. Evan purposedly delayed his entrance, for everything about that night was part of their plan.
