Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 634

It was undeniable.

"Mr. Shaw, the whole internet's against you," Jackie said in a rush. "They're saying your mother's a murderer and that you're no better. They're accusing Clauderias Tech of being corrupt, saying your products are full of malware, your clients' data's leaking everywhere, and that you're probably using it for something illegal."

Jackie's words came faster and faster. His panic was written all over his face. This wasn't just a scandal. It was a full-blown disaster. If handled right, they might survive. If not, the company would be eaten alive, and bankruptcy was practically guaranteed.

"Mr. Shaw, you need to act now."

Zacharias' eyes stayed glued to the flood of headlines screaming across the screen. His jaw clenched tight as he forced out a single name.

"Jonathan Fullbuster!"

Melody had only been arrested two hours ago, yet the news had already exploded everywhere.

There were high-definition videos of her arrest circulating online, and the trending searches were filled with outrage.

If this wasn't Jonathan's doing, then coincidence didn't exist.

He wasn't an idiot.

It all made sense. The day Jonathan brought up Roretha in that private room, he had already been digging a trap.

Zacharias had been reckless. He'd trusted his mother, convinced she'd never hide something this big. With his company falling apart, he'd been too distracted to notice the storm building around him.

But Jonathan's revenge was merciless.

All he'd done was tell Anneliese's grandmother that Jonathan and Anneliese were together.

And this was the payback—Jonathan had crushed his entire family.

Jonathan Fullbuster!

The name ripped through his thoughts. His rage surged until a stabbing pain hit his chest.

Blood filled his mouth and spilled out in a sharp burst.

Inside The Banyans, Jonathan plucked the phone right out of Anneliese's hand.

She stared at him, startled, as he murmured a few smooth, mocking words into the receiver before casually blocking the number.

Before hanging up, he pulled her against him and brushed his lips along the sensitive skin behind her ear, biting down gently.

Her breath hitched, the sound soft and quick. When he tossed the phone aside, she tapped a finger against his face and teased, "You just made him lose his mind. You shouldn't be sulking anymore."

Jonathan leaned in, his voice low and rough. "I'm still in a terrible mood. What do you think I should do about it?"

Anneliese knew exactly what he was up to. He was being his usual smug, sulky self. She grabbed Jonathan by the collar of his pajama top and yanked him down to her level.
