Adriana couldn’t help laughing at Yolanda’s words. She stretched out her arms and hugged her. “We’re going to win this.”
“Just tell me what to do. Say the word, and I’ll do it for you.” Yolanda laughed and gave Adriana a friendly pat on the back.
“I remember you have a friend who works as a reporter… I need public attention, the more attention the better,” Adriana said seriously.
The person behind the scenes had joined forces with Raymond to set Curtis up. It was time for her to fight back.
If she didn’t act now, those people and Raymond would keep treating her like she was weak and harmless.
Langford Group
Adriana invested all her money into Ainsworth Group, becoming one of its shareholders. The media reported the news everywhere.
Ainsworth Group had already climbed higher by pushing against Langford Group in business. With Adriana’s investment, their funds grew.
“Damn that Adriana! She looks weak and harmless, yet she’s attacking our Langford Group!” Raymond shouted in his office.
At Ainsworth Group’s press conference, a reporter asked why Adriana chose Ainsworth Group when Curtis had put his money into Langford Group.
Adriana explained that Curtis had invested all of Harold’s assets in Langford Group. But the project failed, and the funds were frozen. She had no choice but to invest the rest in Ainsworth Group. She trusted they wouldn’t let her down.
Her answer made Langford Group’s honesty look weak.
All the blame was now on Langford. It was clear that Langford Group had trapped Curtis’s investment money.
Many companies that once worked with Langford Group started switching to Ainsworth Group.

Ainsworth Group and Langford Group were already competitors. Now, Langford Group had taken a big hit.
“Dad, when you set Curtis up, you should’ve known this could happen,” Matthew said with a smirk, leaning back in his chair as if it was obvious.
Even he didn’t think Adriana’s move would be this fierce.
It was like a hammer hitting Langford Group right in the head.
“Mr. Raymond, the board members are in chaos. Our stock value is dropping. Partners are leaving for Ainsworth Group. If this continues, the public will turn against Langford Group,” a senior executive said anxiously, begging Raymond for a solution.
“Mr. Raymond! This is bad–please check the trending news. People are saying Curtis died mysteriously after losing billions in a project. Police found clues pointing to murder. Everyone’s pointing fingers at us!” the secretary rushed in, panicked.
Curtis was dead. The police hadn’t caught the killer yet, but the evidence clearly showed that it was murder.
In times like this, the more unclear the truth was, the more suspicious Langford Group looked.
Raymond thought he was smart. He believed that after he took the money and the person behind the scenes killed Curtis, no one would trace it back to him.
But the public didn’t care who actually did it. Until the killer was found, everyone would think Langford Group was guilty.
Raymond sank into his chair, so nervous that his mind went blank.
In just a short time, he had already lost a large part of Langford Group’s shares. Now, the entire company was taking a heavy hit.
“Mr. Matthew, what should we do? Please, think of something.” At this moment, Matthew became the person everyone looked to for answers.
After all, if the company survived, everyone survived. If it fell, everyone fell together.
“For now, I have a plan. It depends on whether my dad is willing to take the fall for the company–and for everyone,” Matthew said calmly. He looked at Raymond with meaning in
his eyes.
He was ready to take the last bit of power from Raymond on the board.

“Dad should take all the blame. Hold a press conference, admit fault, and resign, leaving Langford Group for good. He should admit there were mistakes in reviewing the project, which almost caused Curtis’s investment to be lost. Luckily, we stopped the problem in time and froze Curtis’s funds. No one can touch it. When the project starts again, Curtis’s wife will be the beneficiary,” Matthew explained evenly.
Only if Raymond stepped down could they calm the public anger.
“After that, I’ll take over as the new CEO of Langford Group, fix the company’s image, and restore its reputation,” Matthew added with a small smile.
He was thankful for Adriana’s gift. It gave him a perfect reason to start major changes inside Langford Group.
“Matthew!” Raymond slammed his hand on the desk in anger. He could tell his son was planning to destroy him completely.
“Mr. Raymond! Think of the bigger picture! It’s time for you to step back and enjoy your life. Please don’t be stubborn now! We’ve all seen Mr. Matthew’s skills. He is your son. Trust him, and things will be easier for you,” the board members said as they stood up, urging Raymond to put the company first.
With Langford Group close to collapse, the only thing they cared about was money.
Most of them agreed that Raymond had to leave. Whether he agreed or not, he was going to be removed.
Raymond’s vision went dark. A sharp pain hit his chest. He lifted a shaking finger toward Matthew, then collapsed and passed out.
