NovelOnlineSelena 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
becthe 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 defEllen.
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 well 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 nand 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. | won't stoop to their level.” Ellen didn’t want him to work too hard either.
“I've said before that | 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 hto you as soon as possible.”

“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, | helped you this time, so you'd better thankproperly.”
“Of course, | will.” “That girl is outstanding, though. If | 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 helpedthis 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.
