Selena was beginning to fear now, for she saw that all the news articles related to Ellen were gone. This meant that
Jared had taken action.
Selena didn’t want to get involved, much less bear the responsibility for it.
Ellen’s reputation was considered ruined at this point, so even if the news articles were gone, it was enough to
force Ellen out of the chess community. From today onward, Ellen wouldn’t dare participate in official competitions,
and her championship would become the joke of the chess community.
Selena was quite satisfied with the outcome, feeling that it was worth sacrificing her body in exchange for such
results.
In the meeting room, Jared was seated at the front while a group of people sat before him. They were all
concerned about one thing, which was to find the culprit behind the scenes who wanted to defame Ellen.
At that moment, they had gathered enough. information to paint a complete picture.
“Young Master Jared, these are records of Alden Thomas’ financial situation. This is his call history and duration, as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwell as the people he met recently at the hotel.”
“Based on the people he’s met in the past few days, we carried out a thorough investigation. These are all people
who have contacted him before.”
“According to our speculation, it’s highly possible that Alden wanted to get revenge on Miss Reiss because he
couldn’t accept the fact that he lost.”
Jared stared at Alden’s photo with an extremely disgusted look in his cold eyes. Back then, this man had smashed
the chess pieces right in front of Ellen during the finals.
“President Presgrave, shall we employ our special methods?”
“For the moment, no. Keep investigating.” Jared shook his head. He had to be a little more careful since Ellen’s
reputation was involved. He wanted to clear Ellen’s name and restore her reputation as well.
If he just wanted to exact revenge, he had all the methods in the world to do it.
Just then, Jared’s phone rang. He glanced at it, gentleness instantly filling his eyes as he took his phone over to the
French windows. He answered the call and said tenderly, “Hey. Are you going to sleep already?”
“Is the investigation still underway?” On the other end of the line, Ellen asked as her heart ached for Jared. It was
already 9.00PM. “Don’t worry, we’ll find the truth very soon,” Jared comforted her.
“Just forget it if you can’t find anything. I won’t stoop to their level.” Ellen didn’t want him to work too hard either.
“I’ve said before that I won’t let anyone bully you anymore. I’m a man of my word.” Jared would never let those
people off the hook.
He would make all of Ellen’s bullies pay the steep price for it. Even if they couldn’t be punished by law, he could still
employ his methods.
Just then, Stanley’s phone rang. He reached out and picked up the call. “Hello. Did you get any information from
eavesdropping?”
“Send it to me.”
Not long after Stanley listened to a portion of the recording, he spoke to Jared, who was still on the phone. “Young
Master Jared, we’ve found something. Listen to this.”
Jared glanced at Stanley, then said gently over the phone, “I’ll go home to you as soon as possible.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay, don’t overwork yourself,” Ellen said in concern. After hanging up, Jared sat down at the table and listened to
the audio recording. Two drunken voices were heard speaking.
“Jay, I helped you this time, so you’d better thank me properly.”
“Of course, I will.” “That girl is outstanding, though. If I play against her in the future, I’m honestly not sure if I’d be
able to win.”
“I’ll make use of this incident to bar her from entering competitions, and you won’t ever see her at any matches in
the future.” “That’s great. I’ll have hopes of getting first place next year.”
“You’ve helped me this time, but you’re also helping yourself too!” “I wouldn’t have helped you so readily
otherwise!” “Thank you, thank you so much.”
After the playback ended, Stanley continued, “President Presgrave, a subordinate recorded this while sending the
two back to the hotel. Looks like Alden was just a pawn, and the real person who wanted to ruin Miss Reiss’
reputation was the judge named Jay Harris. He probably has a grudge against her.”
Jared frowned a little. The recording was proof that Alden was helping Jay destroy Ellen’s reputation, so who was
the one behind Jay? “Keep investigating,” Jared said in a low voice.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the hotel, the two drunk men staggering into the building had no idea that the driver
of the taxi they took wasn’t the real driver at all. The real driver was sitting in the black car tailing them.
