“What business?”
Juniper chewed on the shrimp, looking thoroughly confused.
“Think about it!” Shanley caressed her cheek, an amused, helpless smile on his lips.
Did she seriously forget about their upcoming wedding?!
“Oh, I know.” Juniper set down her silverware, her expression turning dead serious. “There really are some loose ends that need handling, especially the Sherwin family.”
Stellara Country.
Luella Langley had been glued to her computer, watching the entire press conference via live stream.
She had been viciously arguing with internet trolls the entire time, tapping so hard she nearly cracked her phone screen.
When the final verdict dropped, she finally let out a long exhale, feeling secure enough to shift focus to her own battles.
Her master plan was already in motion.
Luella forwarded her meticulously prepared files to Subterra Vanguard and Cybernetic Shadows.
Leveraging their elite tech networks, she blasted Lachlan Langley’s years of accumulated “sins” to every corner of the globe.
Headlines accusing a nation’s Executive Chief of “disregard for human life,” “bribery,” and “abuse of power” spread like wildfire.
Within Stellara Country itself, the news triggered an absolute earthquake.
Lachlan, who was right in the middle of preparing for the upcoming Executive Chief election, took one look at the breaking news and saw stars, nearly collapsing on the spot.
He had securely held the Executive Chief position for multiple consecutive terms; his power and influence were deeply entrenched.
Barring any freak accidents, he had been guaranteed to win this year’s election, too.
But who could have predicted that such explosive evidence would suddenly drop online?
These were secrets he had buried deep.
The citizens of Stellara Country watched the barrage of videos, documents, and photos, and the internet immediately exploded into a crusade against him.
Radical protestors even marched right up to Lachlan’s private residence, screaming for accountability.
Luella walked over to the window, gazing down at the swarming, angry mob, her mood soaring.
Yvonne and her daughter, Esme, were terrified out of their minds, hiding in their rooms and weeping.
Crying already?
They were crying way too early!
Luella picked up her phone and messaged her contacts at Binary Oracle, telling them to unleash the rest of the bombshells.
Seconds later, indisputable proof of the Executive Chief’s wife accepting bribes and peddling influence hit the net.
Right alongside it dropped photos and videos of Esme Langley bullying others, ruining innocent lives, and using illicit substances.
The public outcry swelled to deafening levels, and every shout felt like music to Luella’s ears.
A moment later, her phone rang. It was Lachlan.
“Where are you? Get to my study immediately!”
“Right away.”
Ending the call, Luella casually strolled down the hall and pushed open the door to the study.
The room looked like a hurricane had ripped through it; he had clearly been smashing things.
Lachlan was slumped in his office chair, his face a sickly, furious gray as he barked into his phone. “What do you mean you can’t suppress What exactly am I paying you people for?!”
“Chief, it looks like it’s an offshore syndicate…” the head of the Security Bureau Stampered, terrified. “Wề tried everything. We can’t delete it, and we can’t bury it.”
They had no choice but to watch the scandal snowball into an avalanche.
The entire nation of Stellara was screaming for his immediate resignation.
“Father.”
Luella lowered her head, her tone perfectly respectful.
“You saw the news, right? What’s our counter-strategy?”
Lachlan fought to reign in his explosive temper, glaring coldly at Luella. “Who do you think is behind this?”
“I have no idea.”
Luella shook her head, playing the part of a bewildered subordinate flawlessly. “Perhaps one of your political rivals, Father.”
“Damn it!”
Lachlan violently kicked over a trash can and yanked at his hair. “Who the hell has
this kind of power? They dug up things from decades ago!”
“Exactly.”
Luella nodded in absolute agreement, letting out a genuine sigh of awe. “It’s incredibly impressive.”
“?”
Lachlan stared at her, a massive question mark practically materializing over his head.
“Father, you shouldn’t go to the Political Council right now. I’ll handle things there on your behalf.”
“You? Handle it for me?”
Lachlan’s brow furrowed, clearly not trusting her.
“Please rest assured, Father.” Luella
offered a reassuring smile, bowing
her head respectfully. If you
You fat
from power, there’s no way fever inherit the Executive Chief position.”
“So don’t worry, I definitely won’t do anything to jeopardize this.” *(Yeah, right).*
