Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 711

They were not stupid enough to be ignorant of how much power he had as Mr. Farrell's right-hand man.

Their bosses would have definitely obeyed the man and fire them for Mr. Farrell's sake.

They had no choice but to run off as quickly as they could.

In a second, the swarm surrounding Ben soon dispersed and completely disappeared.

Ben, flicked the dust off his suit and took on a triumphant smile, "Humph. Wanna question me? Hell no."

Having adjusted his tie and hid away the cockiness on his face, Ben headed for the gate of the Goldstone Building.

In the meantime, Amber was in the meeting room.

Braylee's media disclosure had brought tremendous implications to Goldstone.

Then and there, the board and the senior executives were already seated in the meeting room, waiting for Amber whom they were gonna interrogate.

Especially Bernardo Delgado's little band, overflowing with excitement and greed.

Just like Braylee Reed, they did not believe that the press conference would produce any result under the conviction that evidence wasn't that easy to find.

Apparently, the conference was doomed since it still remained doubtful that Amber Reed could present any proof.

And what they had been hoping for was its failure.

Only then would any opportunity open up for their attack on Amber.

It was conceivable that Bernardo would seize the chance and pressure Amber to give up part of her administrative power.

What would be the use of the Farrell Group's backing if the scandal persisted and turned into a fact that Amber Reed was an illegitimate daughter who stole shares from the Reeds and bullied her Reed sister.

By then, Amber would be lashed at by the whole world.

And it would be the same for Jared, who spoke for her in his post the night before, which would make people think that he was blinded with partiality.

That would cause doubts about Jared Farrell's judgement on people as well as distrust in his leadership among the shareholders of the Farrell Group.

Such suspicions would then drift supporters apart from Jared Farrell, which would in turn weaken his authority.

He would have been in big trouble himself, let alone helping Amber Reed out.

It's most likely that he would even blame her for putting him through the trouble and break up with her again.

If Amber Reed lost her leadership over the company and the support of the Farrell Group, she would be completely at Bernardo's mercy.

And he would pay her back for her insult and clampdown, as Bernardo thought.

Bernardo, with a cup of tea held onto his hands, was trembling and gasping with increasing excitement and thrills.

So was Braylee Reed who was seated to his left.

Her greed almost flew out of her eyes as she was staring at the chairman seat.

Almost there, almost there.

Braylee was thinking that she would soon replace Amber and sat in that chair.

There would be no way for her to prove against the scandal and deal with the publicity and criticisms, so she would have to give up her shares.

With that thought, she laughed.

Bernardo heard her laughter, saw the greed in her eyes and knew what she was laughing about. A sinister blaze flashing across his eyes, he put on a benevolent smile, "Congratulations, Braylee, my niece. It's finally yours."

"Don't be kidding, Uncle Bernardo, not yet, "replied Braylee with fake humility, fiddling her hair.

Bernardo took a sip of his tea and said, "But it's almost yours. So as your uncle, I guess I should just congratulate you in advance. Uncle has helped you a great deal, right?"

"Take a chill pill. There are still a lot of things I can't achieve without you." Braylee raised her cup as if she was proposing a toast.

With that Bernardo took up his own cup as a response to her toast across the table.

The conversation was made totally oblivious of the other attendees.

Bernardo's little gang was glad to hear it.

People on Amber's side remained silent with knitted eyebrows.
