I know of no financial irregularities associated with him, EVER!”Freda was thinking furiously, and now put forward a suggestion.Mr French, your man ...hawn; does he have any financial worries?”He glowered. “What has that numbskull Shawn got to do with anything?”“Bear with me, sir. Does he have any problems with finance?”“Of course not. He has built up a good reputation in the branch.
