Chapter 2434
"It's all because Everett has failed again. On top of that, Everett had his own plans which is why Harvey ditched
him," Max replied.
"Everett got ditched?" Jared narrowed his eyes, 'Is it possible that Harvey is planning something big?'
"Yeah, it seems to me that Everett isn't going to quit either. He seems to be up to no good, and has been pestering
Raine for the past few days. However, the good news is that he has failed to do so and the assets of DillCorp have
been transferred away by Raine."
A smile crossed Jared's face, and that was when he realized where Nicole's confidence had originated from.
Max was stunned when he noticed the smile on Jared’s face. He lost grip on the steering wheel, careening the car
into the left lane. Alarmed, Max quickly swerved back to the right.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Why is Mr. Johnston smiling like that? Did something ridiculous happen to Everett?' thought Max to himself.
Meanwhile, Jared quickly regained his composure. "Don't worry about Everett for now. We can sit back and
observe."
"Yes, sir," Max replied.
Still, Jared was not at ease, as his eyes darkened immediately after. "Continue your investigation on Harvey."
"Yes, sir." Max put on his game face again.
He was more than aware that Harvey’s recent behavior was getting increasingly concerning.
Then, Jared leaned back against his seat and began perusing the documents.
Meanwhile at Riddle Corporation, Nicole had just walked into the office when she saw Lulu, who had been waiting
for her.
"Raine must be sobbing her eyes out right now. James is one terrifying, heartless monster," Lulu muttered in a low
voice, trying to mask the fact that she was gloating.
"Where's James now?" Nicole narrowed her eyes, more concerned about James' whereabouts rather than Raine's.
"I've gotten someone to tail him. He's with his lover at the Spring Villa," Lulu informed with a smirk on her face.
Raine's busy crying her eyes out while James is having the time of his life with another lover,' Lulu thought.
"Let's call the police." Nicole snickered and said with a hint of contempt in her voice.
"Okay. I'll go ahead and do it," Lulu agreed, before spinning around and striding off.
Nicole sat down, and there, a look of determination crossed her face. Everything should be over once and for all.*
Meanwhile, Raine, who was a sobbing mess, was accompanied by Dillion, who was busy cursing his heart out.
"You fucking idiot! You took everything and now, what have we got left? What's this?!'' Dillion bellowed, livid and
unable to wrap his head around the fact that James had played his entire family like a fiddle.
"Do you think I was the only one who trusted him? You did the same!" Raine wailed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA loud slap echoed throughout the room at once, and Raine's screamed followed thereafter. Raine held her burning
cheeks in her hands as she stared at Dillion, wide eyed with disbelief.
"If it wasn't for you, that son of a b*tch would not have wormed his way into our family. How are you still so dense?
How will we even live in the future?" Karen shouted as she witnessed Dillion slapping her daughter.
How can I even survive now?' Karen panicked.
Then, as she attempted to shrug off the bitter taste of betrayal, Raine yelled, "You wish to pin the blame on me
now!? If it wasn't for you two who pushed me into marrying that scum, none of this would've happened!"
Raine was the one who had been made to bear the brunt of it all, for everything she had carefully curated had
turned out to be a part of a scam; an elaborate fraud. Yet, even as she suffered, her parents had opted to turn their
backs on her instead of doing what they were supposed to - comforting her.
'Is this all my fault?' Raine asked herself.
"Oh, so you're blaming us now, huh!? Did you even stop to think about us when you two were plotting your clever
little scheme to take the company over?" Dillion spat.
'If she hadn't done something so idiotic to begin with, would we even have ended up in such a miserable state?'
Dillon thought.
