(ENG) Chapter Twenty-Four - Pandora Box

A week later, Nittha was finally found hiding in her parents' house in Chiang Rai, a team of investigators and police carried an arrest warrant and brought her back to Bangkok for questioning.

Nittha did not admit her crime and argued that she got the money from a wealthy ex-boyfriend, although she could not prove her alibi. But due to lack of evidence, the girl could not be prosecuted, but she lost her agent's certificate and right to commission as said by Phana.

Nittha also experienced severe depression, apart from being chased by a debt collector, she was also threatened with imprisonment because she could not pay credit card bills.

So, she secretly met Mrs. Thongtawan after work hours in her office by disguising herself as a cleaning service after learning that the woman is always left alone in her office after all of the employees went home.

"You?" exclaimed Mrs. Thongtawan who was surprised when she saw the girl, but she didn't want to make a fuss and decided to welcome the uninvited guest.

"Nice to meet you again, Mrs. Thongtawan," greeted Nittha politely. "I hope you are always given health and a long life," she said in small talk.

"I've read the news about you and I'm glad I didn't buy insurance from you," said Mrs. Thongtawan to the point.

Nittha's expression changed immediately and replied, "I understand, but the reason you bought insurance from Singto isn't that you need insurance, but because you're in debt to his family, aren't you?" she guessed.

"Why do you think so?" replied Mrs. Thongtawan calmly.

Nittha didn't answer, she took out her cell phone and showed a news article from 2015, "In early 2015, the Thongtawan Group go through a financial crisis caused by a wrong investment, as a result, the company lost a lot of money and was forced to mortgage the assets to the Bank to borrow large amounts of money so that the company's operational activities could run normally."

Mrs. Thongtawan neither admits nor denies it, "The media always exaggerates news to attract readers," she commented. "It's true, the Thongtawan Group was in a dark time around 2014 and 2015, but thanks to everyone's support and hard work, we managed to get through all that and become big like now," said the woman proudly. "Is there anything you'd like to add?"

"Really?" replied Nittha with a grin. "But have you forgotten Mr. Ruangtiraj, who has contributed to helping Thongtawan Group pay off debts to the bank? Rumors said that he even mortgaged his house as collateral to maintain the assets of the Thongtawan Group."

Mrs. Thongtawan widened her eyes in surprise and staggered, her previously calm demeanor began to loosen, and she wonders how the girl could know all this.

"I don't understand what you're saying," said Mrs. Thongtawan, "Mr. Ruangtiraj has indeed been a good business partner with the Thongtawan Group in the past, but Mr. Ruangtiraj has cut ties with Thongtawan Group since he moved his business to Bangkok, rumor has it that he mortgaged his house as capital to expand his business, and that has nothing to do with the Thongtawan Group!" she emphasized.

Nittha nodded several times and took a deep breath, "I can understand if you don't want to admit it, but can you still deny it after hearing this?" she said with a grin.

Next, she played the recording of the journalist's interview with Mr. Thongtawan who accidentally mentioned that he was very grateful to Mr. Ruangtiraj, who had secretly helped him through the crisis, otherwise the company's assets might have been confiscated by the bank.

"W-where did you get the recording?" asked Mrs. Thongtawan in shock, she remembered that the journalist who conducted the interview had been bribed to delete the file. "Who gave it to you?"
