A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire novel Chapter 39

"President Deleon, it seems that Eliza's situation has been settled."

On the way back, Tanner received a call from Fran.

“Go and find out who helped her.”

Tanner’s deep voice was filled with coldness, but Fran had been with him for plenty of years, so he was already used to it. He did not think that there was anything wrong with it.

Tanner did not know what happened either. However, he disliked the scene he just witnessed.

“President, what are we going to do about the Francis family?”

“Prepare to send the things we found out about the Francis family last time to the finance department.”

After the Francis family’s last defeat, they were not even worth mentioning at all.

From the moment the Francis family offended Tanner, they had lost their foothold in San Francisco.

However, this time, Tanner had no intentions of personally showing up. Since that man liked to play dirty, then he would play with him.

Tanner was going to fight fire with fire. Since Michael dared to offend him, then he should be ready to face the consequences.

……

When Michael received the notice from the prosecution office, he was still working at the company.

Back then, when his company was facing a financial crisis, he found a way to smuggle some things. This huge profit filled the company’s gap, but he did not expect to be caught so soon.

The other party was anonymous too.

However, he had been a businessman for plenty of years and had even been in the underworld for some time. In general, no one would ever take the initiative to find trouble for him. Eliza was the prime suspect. That little b*tch!

Back then, when Eliza had Tanner’s help and backing, not only did he waste plenty of time and energy, he was even mercilessly dealt with. How could he possibly swallow down such an insult?

Back then, when Tanner went on a business trip, he was very busy with the company’s affairs, so he had no time to deal with her. This time, after hearing that Tanner was taking Raelyn to the remote mountains to see a doctor, he thought that he finally found a chance.

He wanted to get someone to kidnap her again, but it was too easy to get himself exposed. He happened to pass by her company, which was holding an exhibition, so he wondered if he could do something with that.

Eliza was a clothing designer. If she was deemed as a plagiarizer, then her life’s work and reputation would be ruined.

So, he paid a high price to hire a skilled painter to copy an image from the video he recorded.

Some people were tasked with making a scene, while others were sent to rile up the crowd so that the people would follow blindly, as they were not afraid of being embarrassed.

After that, he would suppress the company and force them to not help her. By that time, Eliza will never get a foothold in the industry again!

At first, everything went according to plan. Who knew that not only could the idiot not get the job done, he was even caught!

That man had ruined everything for him!

He thought about it over and over again, and in his opinion, the only person who could’ve found out about his crimes was Tanner.

At first, he thought that Tanner’s feelings for Eliza were only temporary. After all, he was Raelyn’s boyfriend. This was something that everyone knew.

Who would have thought…

Who would have thought that Eliza would be such a hot potato! Had he known that Tanner’s feelings for her were real, he would not have ever laid a finger on her, not even if he had ten balls!

Now that his smuggling crimes were exposed, Michael felt cold sweat running down his back. He did not have any strength left at all.

Tanner could be considered the ruler of this city!

If anyone provoked him, they would never be able to stay in San Francisco anymore!

Tanner could have directly made him leave San Francisco with his forces. However, the only reason why he was doing this was that he wanted to end Michael!

If he was found guilty and brought to trial, then Tanner would surely take it one step further and make his sentence worse. He might even be sentenced to death!

At the thought of that, Michael could not just sit idly anymore. His sinister eyes were filled with fear.

He could not accept it! No matter what, the Francis family still had some reputation in San Francisco. He could not just let his family be kicked out like that!

However, with his head of hair soaked in sweat, Michael was still completely frozen and his mind was blank.

He wanted to find Tanner to beg for mercy, but the moment he thought of the man, his heart trembled in fear!

That frighteningly cold man made him feel scared. Even though Michael himself liked men, he had no such thoughts about Tanner at all!

Begging him for help was useless…

The only thing he could do at this point was to hire a good lawyer and hope that his punishment could be lighter.

Michael was still struggling to grab onto his lifeline, but he subconsciously knew that it was all futile.

It did not matter what he did, it was all useless. The moment Tanner took action against the Francis family, they had already lost!

From that moment on, Michael would no longer exist in San Francisco.

……

In Eliza’s company.

After the exhibition was over, Eliza submitted her resignation letter to her superior. Not long after, she received a call from her boss.

“Eliza, I have heard about what happened to you today. We admit that the company has not handled this matter well. How about this, we’ll double your year-end bonus. What do you think?”

Even though Eliza had only arrived at that position and worked for half a year, she was so talented when it came to designing. Her drafts could be considered to be even better than some seniors with higher qualifications.

If the Francis family did not put pressure on him today, the manager would not have accused her of plagiarizing other people’s work just like that.

Luckily, this matter was over. The boss believed that Eliza would continue to stay if he gave her some benefits.
