Chapter 49 Bribery

Bam!

At that moment, Jared felt as if his world was crashing down and was trembling in fear. The look of

superiority he had on his face earlier on had completely disappeared, and beads of cold sweat had

appeared on his forehead.

Not only were his hopes dashed with the arrest of Daniel by the police, but it was also very likely that

the police would find out that Cordrington Corporation had engaged in bribery and traced it to him.

Jared knew that if that happened, he would have to go to jail.

At that thought, the man started trembling all over.

Even though he was the heir of Cordrington Corporation, he was still extremely afraid!

Meanwhile, both Fabian and Fabio were also shocked to see Daniel being arrested by the police as

that would leave them with no means to deal with Christopher and Frank.

That would also mean that Frank’s family was going to start rising through the ranks!

“Haha! Well, that was really unexpected yeah? I can’t believe that the police have just arrested Mr.

Davis. Fabian, do you think this is God’s way of doing justice?” Frank said, laughing out loud.

“You…” Fabio was smoking with anger and was about to swing a punch at his brother before being Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

stopped by Christopher. Grabbing Fabio’s hand forcefully, Christopher said, “What are you doing? Are

you trying to pick a fight?”

Feeling intimidated, Fabio chickened out instantly. Knowing how good a fighter Christopher was, the

man knew that he would not stand a chance fighting against him.

“Christopher, Dad, let’s go.” Julianna did not feel like seeing Jared and her uncles any longer and

started walking away.

“I’ve signed a non-disclosure agreement with Centurion Corporation just now. We’re not supposed to

expose ourselves to the media, so we can only leave through the side entrance,” Christopher said in a

soft voice.

“What a pity! This could have been a good opportunity for us to gain some exposure.” Frank could not

help but sigh. However, since it was Centurion Corporation’s request, they had no choice but to comply.

Meanwhile, Jared’s hands were still shaking. That was the first time he was feeling so scared and

helpless. In the past, his dad would always resolve any situation for him whenever he got into trouble.

However, it was Centurion Corporation that they were up against this time!

“Mr. Cordrington, hurry up and call your dad. You should discuss the matter with him. I’m sure he would

know what to do!” Fabian suggested immediately. As he was more experienced than Jared, he was

able to keep his composure even during such a chaotic moment.

“Right. You’re right.” Jared rang his father at once. In fact, Harold was also waiting to hear updates

from Jared. After all, it was a devastating day for Cordrington Corporation. However, if they were able

to form a solid alliance with Daniel, there was still a chance for the company to turn the situation

around.

The moment Harold picked up the phone, he asked anxiously, “Jared, have you spoken to Mr. Davis?”

“Dad, Daniel has just been arrested by the police. What should we do now?” Jared said in a trembling

voice.

“What?”

Harold froze for a moment when he heard that. However, he snapped out of his shock just a second

later. Understanding the situation his son was in, the man said at once, “Don’t worry. I will find a

scapegoat for you. You just have to pretend that you don’t know anything and leave through the side

entrance immediately. You must not let the reporters see you. Also, you have to remember that this is

just a small setback. We are still Cordrington Corporation even without collaborating with Centurion

Corporation, and you are still the heir of the Cordrington family.”

Feeling extremely defeated, Jared was in a lost and confused state. However, he was feeling

encouraged again after getting his dad’s reassurance.

That’s right. I’m the successor of Cordrington Corporation. So what if we didn’t get to collaborate with

Centurion Corporation? Christopher is still no match for us!

Jared tightened his fists at that thought.

Immediately after hanging up, Jared instructed Fabian and the others to leave from the side entrance.

However, there was a group of reporters stationed at a spot near the side entrance, waiting for a

response from Centurion Corporation.

The reporters had witnessed Daniel being taken away by the police and were speculating that the man

might have been bribed during the selection of Centurion Corporation’s business partner.

As Cordrington Corporation was the top contender to win the contract previously, the media suspected

at once that the company might have bribed Daniel.
