Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day novel Chapter 210

Lucas had made quite a few enemies, toppling him was not a difficult task.

The real trouble, though, was how to reverse the damage this scandal had caused Madison and Mukino International.

Amelia, burdened with guilt, sought to help as best she could to mitigate the fallout. If she could, she'd sever all ties with that cur Lucas!

"It's been sealed."

When Madison saw William returning, he greeted her with these promising words.

"What do you mean?"

"President Grant has shut down that media outlet," William explained, omitting the specifics of the operation. It likely involved the wielding of considerable power.

William's gaze held depth as he continued, "You were right. That media company wasn’t major, but they have been working for Air China, sending out live feeds to international news agencies."

The implications were clear: Air China was definitively connected to this scheme.

Ethan got the news as well but hadn’t returned the whole night.

Madison spent the entire night in the living room. Amelia had taken her phone away, so she was oblivious to the exact online turmoil, although the outcomes were predictable: either people were reveling in her and Mukino International's misfortune, or they were the indifferent, popcorn-munching crowd.

Public opinion is always like this—mere fodder for others' leisurely chats.

Madison felt self-reproachful—it seemed she always inadvertently dragged Ethan into her messes. Why did she only seem to bring him trouble? She could only imagine how frazzled he must be now, though no one, including William, knew for sure.

Meanwhile, the male protagonist of the news articles was screaming hysterically, "Stop hitting me! Murder is punishable by death!"

Lucas, rolling on the ground, received no mercy from Evel's relentless fists.

By the roadside, a car with its hazard lights flashed.

Inside, Ethan watched with icy detachment as Lucas took his beating. Lucas's bloodied face did nothing to compel Ethan to call Evel off.

The trouble this issue caused for Mukino International was irritating, but what truly enraged Ethan was Lucas's repeated attempts to defame and humiliate Madison. Ethan had shown restraint before for Madison's sake, but not this time.

If left unchecked, Lucas would eventually create a major problem.

Especially now that Air China was involved, and Lucas had found a backer, Ethan decided to go all out.

Just as Lucas seemed on the verge of passing out, the police arrived.

Evel stopped in time, helping Lucas to his feet and heading straight for the approaching officers.

The police were well aware of the situation, thanks to prior calls from the Civil Aviation Administration.

"Mr. Lucas?"

"Help me! She hit me!" Lucas pleaded, seeing the officers as saviors.

Evel spared him a disdainful glance.

The officer produced a document, "We're detaining you for questioning on suspicion of employee fraud, salary embezzlement, and premeditated murder."

Lucas was dumbfounded, "Premeditated murder? What are you talking about?"

"This is evidence provided by Interpol," the officer revealed another document.

It was related to...

The incident where Lucia and Shihua targeted Madison overseas!

Lucas thought the matter forgotten and behind him, but...

"It wasn't me! It was all Shihua's idea; I did nothing!"

"You knew her intent yet failed to report it? Isn't Shihua at your place now? That's harboring a criminal! Take him away!"

At the same time, Ethan had someone dig into Lucas's EnviroAmerica Airlines.

This time, he was determined to root out Lucas's whole operation.

After handling the immediate mess, Michael joined Ethan in the car, "All set, just need to follow procedure. What's our next move?"
