Chapter 194
194:
Another disturbing photo appeared, showing Brandon injecting something into the arm of a blond-haired boy. The image didn’t reveal what he was injecting, but it was clearly harmful.
Joonas showed Brandon over twenty photos, each more damning than the last.
Brandon was speechless. He had always believed no one knew of his misdeeds, that there were no cameras capturing his crimes. But now… Where had these photos come from? Who had taken them?
Overcome with shock, he crumpled to the ground, his mind spinning, unsure of what to do next.
“So, Brandon, what do you think? Are these enough to put your entire family behind bars?” Joonas asked.
“Please!” Brandon begged desperately, no longer noticing the throbbing pain in his nose. On his knees, he grabbed Joonas’s pant leg, pleading, “Please, Joonas, Mr. Mitchell… If you destroy this evidence, I’ll do anything. Anything you want. Just don’t expose my father and me. I’m begging you.”
Disgust flickered across Joonas’s face. With a sharp kick, he shoved Brandon away, then brushed off his pants as if shaking off something vile.
Joonas said, “Stop groveling. It’s pathetic. The files are already with the prosecutor’s office. Do you have any idea how many vile, unforgivable things you and your father have done? What makes you think Mr. Mitchell would ever cover for scum like you? Get lost.”
With a sharp command, Joonas cleared the people and cars blocking Ethan and Brenna’s path.
Inside the car, Brenna watched as Brandon desperately begged at Joonas’s feet.

“That guy is nothing but a total bastard,” she said coldly, feeling no sympathy for Brandon.
Ethan’s eyes were cold as he nodded. He then gave Brenna a brief, matter-of-fact recount of the major offenses committed by Brandon and his father.
Soon after, they left the scene and arrived at an elegant, tranquil restaurant.
No sooner had they taken their seats than Brenna’s phone rang. It was Thiago.
“Harlan has been admitted to the hospital,” Thiago said. “I’m about to start dealing with the Moreno family directly. I’ve already uploaded evidence of Harlan’s crimes online. It won’t be long before the authorities launch an investigation into the Moreno family.”
Brenna replied calmly, “I’ll help you with that. I’m going to start monitoring the Moreno family’s stock activity. Once panic selling begins, we will swoop in and buy at rock-bottom prices. Our goal is to secure controlling shares as quickly as possible.”
After hanging up, Brenna noticed Ethan quietly watching her with a slight frown, looking as though he felt wronged.
“Do you need my help?” Ethan asked casually, trying to seem unconcerned, though deep down it bothered him to see his woman helping another man.
