Can't Win Me Back

Then, the voices of two men sounded out!

“Mr. Gardner, I wouldn’t have used cheap second–hand mattresses to replace high–end ones if it wasn’t to help you make money! But I got caught by that new CEO of Taylor Group and lost my job. No one in Solana City will accept me! You can’t just watch me suffer!”

“Don’t tell me you were helping me. Haven’t you also pocketed a hefty sum? Added with the money I gave you, you won’t starve even if you spend the rest of your life jobless.”

One of the voices was Michael Grant’s, and the other was Dylan Gardner’s! The reporters were flabbergasted.

Dylan broke out into a sweat. He steadied himself against the table as he nearly lost his balance. “What is this?! Who played it? Switch it off! Hurry up!”

The audio clip stopped playing, but new images appeared on the screen. They were pictures of Michael and Dylan visiting a nightclub

together!

“Mr. Gardner! This is not what you promised me! You promised to protect me!”

“I have protected you. I haven’t ratted you out even after this incident got exposed. Michael, just go into hiding, keep your mouth shut, and you’ll be fine. If you dare run your mouth, I’ll make sure that you suffer!”

The pictures and audio clips were solid evidence.

Dylan yelled fiercely while his face was as red as a tomato. “They’re fake! They’re all fake! The person in the audio clip isn’t me! Someone is setting me up!”

At that moment, a loud bang ripped the air. The conference hall doors burst open, and two rows of men filed in. They were all wearing suits with a red badge on their lapels.

Then, Silas walked in. He attracted everyone’s attention. He led the two rows of officers to Dylan with an intimidating air. “Dylan Gardner, CEO of Gardner Group. Now that there is solid evidence, KS Group has formally charged you with abuse of power, bribery, and other crimes. Take him away!” said Silas.

“That’s nonsense! I didn’t do it! I didn’t!” The two rows of officers surged forward and dragged a struggling Dylan outside. All the cameras were pointed at him. Everybody on the Internet witnessed the dramatic scene. What a turn of the tables!

“What a plot twist! This press conference is even more interesting than a movie!”

“It turns out that KS Group is the real victim! Dylan was the pot calling the kettle black and threw shade on the Taylor Group for no reason!”

“Dylan’s character is worse than trash! He’s disgusting!” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“How fucking interesting! Who exposed all the evidence? It was such great timing!” Xavier clapped his hands in amusement. “The Gardner Group will never rise again!”

“That was a set–up,” said Jasper coldly.

“Huh?”

“The Taylor Group already guessed that Dylan would push all the blame on Michael. That’s why they sent that reporter to ask those critical questions and push Dylan to the edge so he would use Michael to save his own ass. Then, they exposed the evidence of Dylan and Michael colluding with each other to give them the final blow.”

…

“What you mean is that reporter was sent by the Taylor Group?” Xavier exclaimed in shock.

“Most probably. And the officers too.” Jasper’s expression was unfathomable. Although he had watched Liana’s brother being arrested, he showed no emotion.

Before Dylan had pushed the blame on Taylor Group, Jasper had thought that they didn’t have to cause such a big fuss. However, when that idiot had lied and altered the facts, Jasper’s last feelings of mercy toward the Gardner Group disappeared.

After Dylan had been taken away and the officers dispersed, the cameras captured the stern–looking Silas. The people watching the live stream went into an uproar again.

“He has my heart! Although he’s so hot, he’s not a celebrity but a law enforcer!”

Jasper narrowed his eyes and jerked forward in his seat. He pinned his gaze on Silas. This was the same man he had met at the bar and

the hospital! He had been so intimate with Alice and looked exactly like Jonah! Who exactly was he?

Jasper took a screenshot. He uploaded it onto the facial recognition app he had developed himself. After ten minutes of scanning and searching, the results appeared. “Silas Taylor, Officer of Solana City’s Investigative Bureau.”
