At the thought that the netizens were all bashing him, Chester had never felt so embarrassed and guilty
in his life.
“Spend some money to take them down from the trending searches for me,” he bellowed with a deep
voice.
“They can’t be taken down.” Attorney Larsen forced a smile. “Anyone with a phone in Australia would
have known about this matter. Many people are paying close attention to it, so it’s impossible to
suppress. What’s more, the scandals Jewell Corporation was previously involved in have aroused the
attention of the relevant department. The investigation team will investigate Jewell Corporation
tomorrow. Currently, Chairman Jewell is busy looking into the company’s affair in case any issues
arise.”
Chester was momentarily shocked. Then, he removed his glasses and hurled them at the table.
His handsome face was grim.
Attorney Larsen let out a sigh. “As an important figure in Jewell Corporation, your scandal has ruined
Jewell Corporation’s reputation and led to dissatisfaction toward Jewell Corporation among the public.
The company’s competitors, in particular, have sprung up like mushrooms. There are also many
internal problems within the company, and because of that, the board of directors started an argument
in the company today.”
Chester drew a long, deep breath. “Given how bad the company’s condition is, I must go out and
handle it as soon as possible. Can you bail me out first?”
“I can’t bail you out. The higher-ups are keeping an eye on this case.” Attorney Larsen kept quiet for a
while before saying with mixed feelings, “Releasing you will cause public outrage. There’s a large
crowd outside the police station, and they’re all Eliza’s fans who have grouped together. Don’t look
down on an A-list artist, she has tens of millions of fans. Besides, she gets on very well with people.”
“Eliza said I forced her, but does she have conclusive evidence?” Chester said furiously, “Look for the
loopholes to refute all her claims.”
“President Jewell, do you have any recordings or videos of you being intimate with her when both of
you were in a relationship?” Attorney Larsen asked, “As long as we have one piece of evidence, we
can refute her claims. It can be a recording of her threatening you to pay her, but you didn’t do it.”
“…No. Who would record such a boring thing?” Chester said in distress, “She took her belongings on
the day I made her leave. There’s a surveillance camera in the elevator.”
“The thing is, she donated the money that she got from selling the handbags under your name. This
means that you allowed her to sell them.” Attorney Larsen frowned. “President Jewell, you shouldn’t
have approached that woman early on. Since the day you forced her, she has started harboring hatred
against you. She has secretly gathered evidence to destroy Felix Media and sue you.”
Chester fell quiet.
In fact, he had thought about it.
He had always been the one tricking other women, and never did he imagine that he would one day be
tricked by Eliza.
Hah.
The lesson he learned from Eliza was indeed interesting.
Eliza said she wanted to stop him from looking down on women.
This time, he fell for the trick.
He underestimated Eliza’s hatred toward him.
Once one became cruel, they could succeed in anything.
He hated Eliza yet admired her a little.
“If… we get Shaun to handle this issue, it might take a turn for the better. He’s the most brilliant lawyer
in the industry who can distort facts.” Attorney Larsen said probingly.
Chester threw a conflicted look at him. “If this issue gets exposed, Catherine will surely hate me to the
core. Getting Shaun to help me will only cause a falling-out between the couple. Considering Shaun
has finally made up with Catherine, I’d better not make things difficult for him.”
“But-”
“You said you’ll be able to come up with the best solution,” Chester interrupted him.
“After this, the police will file an indictment. If you pay a larger compensation and apologize with a good
attitude, you’ll be in jail for three months at most.” Attorney Larsen said helplessly, “ If you don’t go to
jail, Jewell Corporation will be hit even worse. The public will say that Jewell Corporation abuses its
power to cover up its mistakes. Then, even the court won’t be able to help you.”
