Chapter 526 Luke Crawford Is Too Arrogant!
Luke faced the people from the Public Integrity Committee with an indifferent expression. He loosened his tie and ignored them.
A group of bodyguards surrounded him and prepared to escort him away.
"Hold it right there, Mr. Crawford! You are suspected to be involved in a major bribery case. Please cooperate with us and follow us back to the headquarters for investigation."
Amid the tumult, a young officer squeezed past the crowd and stood in Luke's way.
Jason was standing next to Luke.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and smiled gently, but the words that came out of his mouth were a stark contrast to his expression. "Mind your words, Sir. Mr. Crawford has always been honest in his dealings, and slander is a serious crime."
Jason quickly sized up the officer from the Public Integrity Committee. He seemed young, perhaps in his mid-twenties, and he had a round and plump face. Jason could tell that he was a new recruit.
He could not help but be impressed by how that newbie yelled at his boss.
The young officer was furious when he saw that Luke was ignoring him." Luke Crawford! Do you think that you're still T Corporation's CEO? You're a criminal now. Please cooperate with us with our investigations!"
Jason's expression sank all of a sudden.
"Sir, if you would like to arrest our CEO, please show us the warrant of arrest!" He said coldly, "If you don't have any documents, how dare you, a lowly officer, barge into our company?"
Luke shot a glance at the officer's plump face. Without saying a word, he prepared to get into his car.
He wanted to visit his grandfather at the hospital. He did not want to waste his time with those people, much less a bumbling fool.
The young officer's rank was not high enough to meet him, much less take him away for investigations. How delusional!
If everything went according to plan, Gordan should be at the Public Integrity Committee headquarters by now.
With him helping, Luke had nothing to worry about.
When the young officer saw that Luke was about to walk away, he reached out and wanted to grab him. "How dare you not show any respect to public officers? Don't leave and follow me!" "Let me warn you, our CEO is a very busy man, and his time is more precious than yours. If you don't have any evidence, I can sue you for harassment. Our CEO doesn't have the time to waste on your tomfoolery!" Jason said coldly.
When he saw that the young officer was about to grab his boss's hand, Jason quickly grabbed his wrist and pinched a certain point. With a crack, the officer's wrist was dislocated from its joint.
"If you have a warrant of arrest, produce it now. Otherwise, please leave. Watch your manners when you're in T Corporation!" Louis, who was following behind them, said coldly.
After Jason broke the officer's wrist, he grabbed his collar and tossed him aside.
"How arrogant! All of you shall be charged!" The young officer gritted his teeth as he grabbed his wrist, though he did not stop cursing.
A man in his thirties who looked more dependable and mature stood in front of them.
"Mr. Crawford, I apologize that we have to disturb you during your working hours, but we have received orders from the higher-ups that we need to bring you back for an investigation. Please cooperate with us. Otherwise, we will have to use force," he said.
Luke glanced at that man impatiently with his cold gaze.
He waved his hand slightly, and the bodyguards instantly surrounded the officers. Meanwhile, Luke sat in his Rolls-Royce.
The officers were furious!
Luke was too arrogant!
Jason drove the car steadily.
He picked out a sheet from a stack of newspapers and handed it to Luke." Today's paper, Boss."
Luke quickly browsed through the newspaper with a frigid gaze.
Veins bulged on Luke's forehead. Jason almost could not tolerate his awesome presence.
Jason could not help but shudder.
He was older than Luke, and he had worked for his current boss for many years, but he found it hard to remain calm when his boss was angry.
Jason turned on the television in the car.
Every channel in the city was reporting on Leia's attempted suicide. Not only that, but they also reported on Luke's past relationship with her, how Luke had harbored another woman in secret, Leia's grievances for being dumped unceremoniously, and so on. i
On the television, Leia was lying dispiritedly on a hospital bed.
Her wrist was wrapped in bandages. She cried as she spoke to the reporters, "My love for him is genuine, and I've given him my everything. I love him more than I love myself, and I would give up my life for him. I didn't expect him to treat me this way, but this is what I get. I don't blame him. I can only blame myself for not being able to convince him to walk down the aisle with me. Even so, I'd like to tell him this: No matter how you treat me, I will always love you, and I'll be here waiting for you..."
Her tearful lament evoked pity in millions of people.
The comments were almost one-sided. The media did not dare to offend Leia's father, and they criticized Luke's heartlessness which caused the innocent young woman to commit suicide.
Some media outlets even predicted that Jack Norman would not allow his daughter to be taken advantage of that way. He would definitely act against T Corporation and make Luke Crawford responsible for what happened to his daughter or force the marriage to happen.
Only a small fraction of media outlets remained neutral, observing how Luke Crawford would handle the matter.
"Sh*t!" Luke cursed out loud as he punched the car seat.
He turned off the television, unwilling to see Leia's pretentious face.
Anger was brewing in his heart. He did not know what Leia wanted to do or what her objectives were.
'Does she think that she can threaten me with suicide? Hah!1
Luke did not have too many interactions with Leia, but he could tell that she was selfish, conceited, and materialistic. Her favorite person was herself, so how would she be willing to take her own life?
However, she had successfully portrayed herself as the victim in the incident and turned public opinion against Luke. At the moment, "Luke Crawford" was the number one keyword in all major social platforms and search engines, and he was more popular than any celebrity...
