Chapter 1148
Zachary let out a bitter laugh. “Ten years. Ten years running a flawless shadow empire, and it all burns down because of you. I never imagined you’d be the one to bury me.”
Joanna smiled back at him. “You’ve got it all wrong. You buried yourself. If you hadn’t committed those atrocities, who could have possibly ruined you?”
Zachary scoffed. “You think destroying me means you’re safe? You have no idea what kind of monsters operate above me. You can’t outsmart them. I might not be around to see it, but they will absolutely tear you to shreds. I was their golden goose. You broke their supply chain, and what comes next will be a thousand times worse than any pain you’ve ever felt.”
Joanna didn’t doubt his warning for a second, but she’d cross that bridge when she came to it.
It remained to be seen who would ultimately destroy whom.
Since she had tipped off the authorities, the police had already secured the perimeter.
“Zachary, you are under arrest. We’ve already secured the evidence from your private office.”
The police captain walked in with heavy, measured steps, staring down at Zachary.
It was hard to believe. They had been hunting the cartel liaison for years, only to discover it was the polished, high-profile celebrity agent they saw on television every day.
Zachary looked at Joanna like she was already a corpse.
Joanna didn’t flinch. Compared to the actual horrors he had committed, her viciousness was child’s play. And she wasn’t afraid.
Fortune favored the bold. There wasn’t a single person at the top of the food chain whose hands were entirely clean.
Zachary was hauled away, and the full extent of his crimes was broadcast to the world.
Top Hollywood Agent Zachary arrested for human trafficking. Evidence irrefutable. The news broke the internet instantly, skyrocketing to the top of every trending list.
The comments section turned into an absolute warzone.
This is insane. An elite agent running a human trafficking ring? Absolutely sickening! I’m literally shaking. He needs to face the maximum penalty. Give the victims justice!
I used to look up to him. He built so many A-list careers. Turns out he’s a monster wearing human skin. Unforgivable!
Throw away the key. People like him deserve the death penalty!
The internet was in an uproar.
For the entire day, the news cycle was completely monopolized by Joanna and Zachary.
“Natalie! Zachary went down!” Marshall Spencer sprinted through the office doors.
Natalie looked up from her work, slightly taken aback by his frantic energy. “Marshall, what’s got you so panicked?”
“Zachary was arrested! Joanna tipped off the cops!”
“What?!” Natalie’s pupils constricted sharply.
Deep astonishment flashed in her
beautiful eyes. “Are you saying.set
might be reborn too? If you and k
e back, she could have as well.”
Natalie nodded slightly. “Exactly. If she knew about Zachary’s blac market deals, she must know what kingof power she’s destined to
hold.”
Marshall was terrified. It wasn’t the thief he was worried about, it was
t that the thief had her eyes on his life content belongs to
He rushed over to her desk. “Natalie, what are we supposed to do now?”
