Chapter 618
Ethan shut his eyes in the car, taking a break. Cyril noticed that the air in the vehicle was so silent that it creeped him out.
Thus, he took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Miller, did the negotiation go bust?”
“It’s not that. The negotiation was impossible in the first place. She’s ill.” Ethan covered his forehead. “It’s been so many years, yet she hasn’t changed at all. She’s even become worse than before. I shouldn’t have softened up and saved her back then.”
Ten years ago, he saw the suffering Kayla by coincidence when he was passing by a village in the mountains.
Her family favored sons over daughters.
Her brother went to a high school in another area, and her family wanted her to quit school to marry her off to an old man in the village.
They were planning to sell the wedding gift so that they would have the money to send her brother to school.
Kayla fought for herself through reasonings only to be beaten up by her parents.
Ethan never showed kindness to random people. It was simply because he saw her side profile when he passed by the place.
She was still young at that time, but she seemed to be older than Olivia by two to three years.
That one glance reminded him of the girl he had met only once.
Since he had gone through a painful experience before, he wanted to help out others so that they didn’t have to go through the same thing.
Out of kindness, he helped Kayla and sponsored her studies.
He had never thought anything about her, yet she bore feelings for him since that day.
Her feelings drove her into doing those extreme matters to force him.
However, there was something that she couldn’t understand. A man would only soften up for the woman he loved.
Therefore, the more Kayla forced it on him, the more repulsive she appeared to him.
“Mr. Miller, the evidence is with her. What should we do?”
“Her social circle isn’t clean. It has only been five years, yet she has learned how to hire an assassin. We can’t handle this matter through the usual procedures. If my guess is right, she’ll resent me and confront me out of anger. What would you do if you were in her shoes?”
“Join allies. Based on the leads we have right now, eight families are starting to join hands. Not only have they exposed random information, but they also paid a few ghostwriters to drive Miller Group to the edge.”
“That’s right. She’ll surely join allies with others to bring me down. I bet she’s also expecting me to beg her to show mercy.” “How ungrateful of her. You shouldn’t have intervened in her business back then, Mr. Miller. She clearly plotted the whole kidnapping herself, yet her brother put all the blame on you. How could she drag her personal feelings into it? How detestable.
“This is how humans are. The smallest revenge can offset any favors that have been done. Let’s head back to the company first. The senior management is causing a racket.”
“Okay. Since we know that the evidence is with her, should we use other means to get it?”
Ethan kneaded his brows. “I have my plans. Let’s go.”
He took his phone out. After editing a voice recording, which was recorded not long ago, he sent it to someone else:
That person’s profile picture was black.
“Send it to her husband.”
Since Kayla was not going to let Ethan off the hook, he wasn’t planning to hold himself back anymore.
The senior management and shareholders gathered in Miller Group. Considering how capable Ethan had always been, everyone was rest assured to let him handle the company matters.
Who knew that such a huge issue would break out this time? Some of the shareholders, who were having a holiday overbroad, even rushed back to the country.
The elderly, who had always acted cautiously around him, began slamming the table.
“What the hell are you doing? It’s been a day since the issue has come up! And the whole company is a mess.
The people from the finance department have been taken into custody, and the PR department is doing nothing. The HR department is on edge. Just what are you thinking as the president of the company?”
