Chapter 618
When the relevant authorities discreetly withdrew their investigators, the Thompsons likely received an advance notice and replaced the materials.
However, no one expected Grayson to be prepared. Another wave of related personnel caught them as they moved.
As everyone felt relieved, Keegan made a desperate attempt to deflect all blame. He faked the suicide of the only knowledgeable material officer by pushing him off a building at a construction site. However, the building under construction was a blind spot for surveillance, and no clues remained.
The following day, the workers discovered the body. We knew it was Keegan’s doing, but there was no evidence to pin on him. Someone wrote a suicide note in the person’s handwriting, evidently blaming Melanie.
Keegan had shifted the blame to Melanie, who was under arrest at the moment. Melanie was the legal representative and person in charge of the Muborough project but had no room for defense. The evidence was solid, with inspections on the ongoing construction and our information. Melanie had nowhere to run.
Matthew faced online scrutiny, and his affair was exposed. The company’s troubles added to his stress, and Liora took advantage of the situation. She exploited Melanie’s use of substandard materials to pressure Matthew.
Liora instigated several initial investors, too. They collectively confronted Matthew. Unexpectedly, the situation developed in Liora’s favor, making be anxious. That wasn’t the outcome I wanted because it deviated from the plan.
Additionally, Celine returned to Foswood due to the issues with the Muborough project.
I settled all the company matters and clocked out early. Carol offered to send me home as she wanted to visit Lauren. We had been working on Melanie’s case at Lauren’s during this period for convenience’s sake. After all, some matters were inconvenient to handle at the company.
When we arrived at Lauren’s, I pondered before getting down with Carol. Lauren quickly reported the situation’s progress to me, but they still couldn’t find a flaw in Liora’s plan, making me somewhat anxious.
My goal was to capture Melanie, but
Liora was the key. I wanted to catch
né
them all in one sweep. Meanwhile Liora also felt as distressed as Matthew due to the unexpected incident. Therefore, she did not have time to focus on Avalon Hills,
allowing me to secure it effortlessly.
The other few bidding competitors were no threat to us, either. We had prepared our bid for Avalon Hills exceptionally well this time. We even received unanimous praise within the industry. Even our competitors acknowledged our victory.
This situation fueled Liora’s
contempt for me. She could only
compromise and exert her efforts to
acquire Matthew’s company. As for
Avalon Hills, she had to give upz reluctantly. It was too late for
regrets, and she had nothing left but
bitterness.
Lauren noticed my exhaustion and advised, “Go home and rest. We’ll handle things. I’ll inform you if anything comes up. We can only wait for Grayson’s good news now, or it’ll remain at a standstill.” I helplessly nodded. “I’ll take a nap at home and then come back later.”
As I turned to leave, Matthew called again. I thought he was shameless, but I answered anyway. This time, he spoke humbly.
