The Wolf’s Bride

Chapter 21

The board members erupted in laughter.

Everyone looked at Andrius like he was an idiot.

Donovan was the second largest shareholder of the company. He was not the most powerful person in Sumeria, and there were indeed people who could take his place away from the city, but it was definitely not a mere assistant.

“Shhh…”

Andrius gestured to silence the laughing group. He then dialed a number on his phone.

“The second largest shareholder of New Moon Corporation, Donovan Seaview… I want him out of the city for good.”

“F*ck.” Donovan felt challenged.

Even though Andrius was nothing but a clown to him, being disrespected by a mere assistant in front of other board members fueled his anger. He glared at Andrius and said with gritted teeth, Boy, if you can’t make your claims come true today, I will make sure you crawl out of this place…”

Ring!

Before Donovan could finish, his phone rang.

He answered it and heard an anxious voice from the other end. “Mr. Seaview, this is bad! We received news from the police, saying that you are a prime suspect in money laundering for a casino! Our accounts are all frozen by the banks!”

Donovan was shaken by the sudden news.

Other than his informant in the casino and himself, no one else on earth knew about the money

laundering.

The casino would never report him to the police!

Who could have done it then?

Before he could wrap his head around the situation, he got another phone call.

He did not even get the chance to speak and was urged by another anxious voice, “Donovan, something bad has happened to your properties. The land you bought near our old house is being taken back due to illegal purchasing procedures! You are also wanted for a tax–evading investigation!”

Donovan broke out in a cold sweat when he learned the news. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He had several secret properties back at his old house with his family. He bought it under his friend’s name because he did not want his status with the corporation to hold him accountable for

tax. He did a good job keeping it conspicuous and spent quite a fortune to seal lips.

If those involved snitched on him, they themselves would be arrested first before him.

Therefore, it was impossible for them to betray him.

Who would have spilled the secret?

Then, another call came in.

Donovan answered. This time, he could no longer keep his calm. His hand was shaking.

On the other end of the call was the angry voice of his uncle.

“You son of a b*tch! What is wrong with you? You asked me to get you an investor for a project, and I introduced you to my best friend, but you són–of–a–b*tch, you took all the money?! You scammed even your own uncle? Your freaking monster! Give me an explanation, or I will get my friend to sue you!”

Three phone calls, three terrible pieces of news, and each appalled him terribly.

Donovan’s face was glistening with sweat, and the shirt under his jacket was drenched.

“I… I…” Donovan stammered and was unable to form a proper sentence.

He then looked at Andrius and finally realized what happened.

“It’s you! It’s you who’s doing this to me!”

Donovan lost it. He shouted at Andrius furiously, “H–how did you know all about my stuff?”

“I know more than that. I know a lot of dirty things that you have done.”

Andrius got up and went behind Donovan. He put his hands on the man’s shoulders and whispered into his ear, “Such as…”
