Female Novel
Chapter 49
Then, the voices of two men sounded out!
“Mr. Gardner, I wouldn’t have used cheap second–hand mattresses to replace high–end ones if itwasn’t to help you make money! But I got caught by that new CEO of Taylor Group and lost my job. Noone in Solana City will accept me! You can’t just watch me suffer!”
“Don’t tell me you were helping me. Haven’t you also pocketed a hefty sum? Added with the money Igave you, you won’t starve even if you spend the rest of your life jobless.”
One of the voices was Michael Grant’s, and the other was Dylan Gardner’s! The reporters wereflabbergasted.
Dylan broke out into a sweat. He steadied himself against the table as he nearly lost his balance. “Whatis this?! Who played it? Switch it off! Hurry up!”
The audio clip stopped playing, but new images appeared on the screen. They were pictures ofMichael and Dylan visiting a nightclubnovelbin
together!
“Mr. Gardner! This is not what you promised me! You promised to protect me!”
“I have protected you. I haven’t ratted you out even after this incident got exposed. Michael, just go intohiding, keep your mouth shut, and you’ll be fine. If you dare run your mouth, I’ll make sure that yousuffer!”
The pictures and audio clips were solid evidence.
Dylan yelled fiercely while his face was as red as a tomato. “They’re fake! They’re all fake! The personin the audio clip isn’t me! Someone is setting me up!”
At that moment, a loud bang ripped the air. The conference hall doors burst open, and two rows of menfiled in. They were all wearing suits with a red badge on their lapels.
Then, Silas walked in. He attracted everyone’s attention. He led the two rows of officers to Dylan withan intimidating air. “Dylan Gardner, CEO of Gardner Group. Now that there is solid evidence, KS Grouphas formally charged you with abuse of power, bribery, and other crimes. Take him away!” said Silas.
“That’s nonsense! I didn’t do it! I didn’t!” The two rows of officers surged forward and dragged astruggling Dylan outside. All the cameras were pointed at him. Everybody on the Internet witnessed thedramatic scene. What a turn of the tables!
“What a plot twist! This press conference is even more interesting than a movie!”
“It turns out that KS Group is the real victim! Dylan was the pot calling the kettle black and threw shadeon the Taylor Group for no reason!”
“Dylan’s character is worse than trash! He’s disgusting!”
“How fucking interesting! Who exposed all the evidence? It was such great timing!” Xavier clapped hishands in amusement. “The Gardner Group will never rise again!”
“That was a set–up,” said Jasper coldly.
“Huh?”
“The Taylor Group already guessed that Dylan would push all the blame on Michael. That’s why theysent that reporter to ask those critical questions and push Dylan to the edge so he would use Michaelto save his own ass. Then, they exposed the evidence of Dylan and Michael colluding with each otherto give them the final blow.”
…
“What you mean is that reporter was sent by the Taylor Group?” Xavier exclaimed in shock.
“Most probably. And the officers too.” Jasper’s expression was unfathomable. Although he had watchedLiana’s brother being arrested, he showed no emotion.
Before Dylan had pushed the blame on Taylor Group, Jasper had thought that they didn’t have tocause such a big fuss. However, when that idiot had lied and altered the facts, Jasper’s last feelings ofmercy toward the Gardner Group disappeared.
After Dylan had been taken away and the officers dispersed, the cameras captured the stern–lookingSilas. The people watching the live stream went into an uproar again.

“He has my heart! Although he’s so hot, he’s not a celebrity but a law enforcer!”
Jasper narrowed his eyes and jerked forward in his seat. He pinned his gaze on Silas. This was thesame man he had met at the bar and
the hospital! He had been so intimate with Alice and looked exactly like Jonah! Who exactly was he?
Jasper took a screenshot. He uploaded it onto the facial recognition app he had developed himself.After ten minutes of scanning and searching, the results appeared. “Silas Taylor, Officer of SolanaCity’s Investigative Bureau.”
