MY SUGAR MUMMY IS A BEAUTIFUL VAMPIRE

Chapter 67: 100 year old CEO?

Just as the momentum reached its peak, Josh, unwittingly oblivious to Tessa's silent signals, interjected, "If we're really looking for something, why don't we tell the whole truth?"

Tessa tensed, realizing Josh was about to unveil a piece of information she preferred to keep under wraps for the time being.

"What whole truth?" Becky inquired, her curiosity piqued. "There's more?"

Tessa hurriedly stepped in with a nervous laugh, attempting to downplay Josh's statement. "No... he's simply saying we should stick it to Rose Shelly where it would hurt."

Josh, however, seemed determined to spill the beans. "No, I'm talking about the true identity of the CEO of Shelly Technologies, Rose Shelly. That's a more juicy story if you ask me."

Becky's eyes sparkled with interest. "Rose's secret identity? How do you guys know so much?"

"Don't worry, we have our ways," Josh said, winking at Tessa, a smug expression on his face. He was proud of himself for not divulging their little hacking espionage.

As the conversation veered toward their findings on Rose, Josh unintentionally spilled some unbelievable details. "We dug deep, and you won't believe it. Rose Shelly is supposedly over a century old. It's insane and impossible, but that's what we found."

Becky's eyebrows shot up in astonishment. "A century old? How is that even possible. This is getting even more intriguing."

Tessa shot Josh a disapproving look, silently chastising him for revealing such sensitive information. The game they played had just become riskier, and the sharks circling Shelly Technologies were growing more formidable. The night unfolded with a tension-laden silence, Becky's gaze oscillated between Tessa and Josh, processing the newfound layer of complexity in their unfolding narrative.

"Over a century old? That's quite the bombshell," Becky finally broke the silence, her voice a mix of astonishment and intrigue. "How did you come across this information?"

Tessa shot Josh a sharp glance, a silent plea for him to exercise more discretion. Yet, Josh, oblivious to the growing unease, leaned back with a smirk. "Let's just say, we dug into places where Shelly Technologies wouldn't want us snooping."

Becky's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of suspicion crossing her features. "Dug into places? Care to elaborate on that?"

Tessa interjected, attempting to steer the conversation away from the potentially compromising territory. "Our focus should be on exposing their unethical practices, not getting lost in conspiracy theories."

But Becky, now fixated on the revelation, pressed further. "Knowing the age of the CEO is more than just a conspiracy theory. Hell, it's a better angle that your tragic story. It's a game-changer!! Imagine the public's reaction to learning that Rose Shelly might have been alive for more than a century. That's a headline that would shake the foundations of Shelly Technologies."

Josh, still reveling in the thrill of the revelation, chimed in, "Exactly! It's mind-boggling, and we've got the evidence to back it up. The world deserves to know the truth."

Tessa sighed inwardly, realizing that the delicate balance they had maintained was now teetering on the edge. The journalist in Becky sensed the opportunity for a groundbreaking story, and her persistence was unwavering.

Becky leaned forward, her eyes locked onto Tessa's. "Tessa, don't you see? This is the kind of revelation that can turn the tide completely. It's not just about exposing their practices; it's about unraveling the mystery behind Rose Shelly herself. It's a story that will captivate the world."

Tessa hesitated, torn between the desire for justice and the risk of veering into uncharted territory. She met Becky's gaze, her resolve unwavering. "Becky, we're here for justice, not sensationalism. Exposing their darkest secrets is our priority, not speculating on Rose's age.""

Becky, ever the shrewd storyteller, nodded understandingly. "I get it, Tessa. We'll keep the focus on the core issues. Now, about our evidence..."

Tessa interjected, "That's where we need to be cautious. Our evidence is not yet concrete enough. We've exposed some shocking practices, but we can't afford to make assumptions that could be debunked. We need to stay meticulous."

While Tessa claimed concern for the integrity of their mission, the truth was she also wanted to keep her name out of the immediate spotlight. The evidence they possessed, if traced back, would inevitably lead to her. The intricate steps to unveiling the truth without exposing herself remained a delicate balance.

Josh, sensing Tessa's unspoken reservations, chimed in, "We need more than just shocking revelations; we need irrefutable evidence. Something that even Shelly Technologies can't dispute. We can't risk becoming the story before we expose them."

Becky leaned forward, a glint of excitement in her eyes. "I have contacts within the company. If we can get someone on the inside to corroborate our findings, it would add a layer of authenticity that's hard to challenge."

Tessa considered the proposition, acknowledging its potential. "But we can't force anyone to jeopardize their job or safety. We need a willing ally who understands the gravity of what's happening."

Becky, always resourceful, pulled out a notebook and jotted down a few names. "I've been cultivating relationships within Shelly Technologies for a while. There are a few individuals who might be sympathetic to our cause. We'll approach them discreetly."

As they delved into the logistics of their plan, Tessa couldn't shake off the weight of the impending storm. The truth they sought to reveal had far-reaching consequences, not just for Shelly Technologies but for Tessa and her allies. She knew the risks, yet the pursuit of justice propelled her forward.

The conversation continued, mapping out the intricate steps of their operation. Tessa emphasized the need for caution, aware that one wrong move could unravel everything. She glanced at Josh, silently conveying the shared understanding that their lives were now entwined with the volatile tale they were unraveling.

Amidst the strategic discussions and planning, Becky's flair for the dramatic surfaced. "Once we have the evidence, we unleash it strategically. Timing is key, my friends. We want the world to be watching when Shelly Technologies crumbles."

Tessa, despite her reservations, found herself drawn into Becky's enthusiasm. The vision of exposing the truth and dismantling the oppressive empire fueled a fire within her. The Mustang, parked in the dimly lit alley, became the clandestine hub for a rebellion against corporate corruption.

The meeting concluded with a sense of determination and trepidation. The trio dispersed into the night, each burdened by the weight of their individual motives. Tessa knew that the next steps could change everything – for better or worse.
