“What's your plan with Nora?” Lula asked after some thought.
“Once she’s recovered, I'll divorce her,” Vernon declared, gritting his teeth at the mention of Nora.
That despicable woman had deceived him, and he would not let her off the hook.
“Good!” Lula nodded.
Unbeknownst to Vernon, a sly smirk appeared on her face, revealing her calculating nature.
The following morning, news of Brad’s scandal spread like wildfire, quickly hitting headlines.
Brad was in the middle of a morning meeting when officials from the prosecutor's office suddenly stormed in.
“Mr. Morton, you stand accused of embezzling company funds and tax evasion. We require your cooperation in our investigation.”
The officials presented Brad with the arrest warrant, leaving him
stunned.
“When did | ever embezzle company funds or evade taxes? You need evidence to make such accusations,” Brad said. With all the directors present, he couldn't possibly admit to something he hadn't done.
“We have substantial evidence. Please cooperate with our
investigation, or we will be forced to take compulsory measures,” the officials asserted their authority.

Everyone present knew that, without evidence, they wouldn’t arbitrarily
arrest someone.
Just as Brad was at a loss, Vernon, dressed in a dark suit, appeared at the door, accompanied by Lula.
“Brad, | never expected you to be this kind of person,” Vernon said with feigned pity, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. Brad began to understand the situation.
It was Vernon and Lula who had conspired against him.
‘But isn’t Lula Marc’s woman? Why is she helping Vernon? How did they get involved?’ He wondered.
Seeing the situation unfold, the directors, who had long wanted Brad out of the picture, immediately stood up.
“Since officials from the prosecutor’s office are here, Mr. Morton, you should cooperate with their investigation. Once the truth is revealed, everything will become clear,” said one of them.
“Indeed, | never anticipated that Mr. Morton would resort to such actions. How can we entrust the company to someone who embezzles funds and evades taxes?” echoed another.
“Absolutely, you're right...”
Once someone voiced their opinion, others quickly joined in.
“If | leave, who will manage the company?” Brad was reluctant to accept this reality.
“| will!” Vernon confidently raised his head, making his first assured appearance at Morton Group. “Who do you think you are?” Brad retorted.
He finally realized that Vernon was here today to claim his position.

“lam also a son of the Morton family, so naturally, | have the right to manage the company,” Vernon said, distributing copies of documents prepared by Lula to the directors.
“These are the company’s accounts. Brad hasn’t been managing the company well. | will take control from now on. Once the investigation is over, if he is found innocent, | will return this position to him.” The directors reviewed the accounts and indeed found evidence of fund embezzlement and tax evasion. The most likely person
to have such power was none other than Brad, the president.
Moreover, there were individuals within the company who had long been discontented and saw this as an opportunity to deal with him. Regardless of whether he was guilty or not, they were quick to blame him.
The officials from the prosecutor’s office were adamant about taking Brad away, refusing to entertain any explanations. Brad knew that once he was taken away today, it would be
challenging to reverse the situation. However, he couldn’t resist the law enforcement officers. He could only signal to his loyal followers before leaving.

“What exactly happened to her?”
Selena shook her head. “I don’t know, but she has been ill for a long time, and the longer it takes, the harder it will be to cure.”
She let out a deep sigh.
