I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 280

"Finn, without the Fletcher family, you wouldn't be where you are today. You need to show some gratitude."

Finn sneered internally, but didn't let a single trace of it show on his face. He looked directly at Ford:

"Ford, tell me what you need me to do. Cut to the chase."

Ford was extremely satisfied with his reaction and finally spoke:

"You've seen the public outcry online recently. All that talk about mistresses, getting cheated on... it's all just malicious rumors. They're entirely fake. These claims are nothing but an attempt to drive a wedge between me and your sister-in-law. More importantly, their real goal is to smear my name and subsequently destroy the Fletcher family. Felicia completely understands, trusts me, and stands by my side."

He paused, softening his tone even further.

"Finn, we're blood brothers. I need you to issue a public statement for me, declaring that all these rumors are completely fabricated. Use your status as a decorated Global Air pilot to clear my name. You have a spotless public image; one word from you is worth more than a hundred press releases from our PR department."

Finn stared at him.

"Fine. But it's best if we post it from the corporate account. The impact will be stronger."

Ford's face lit up with pleasant surprise:

"Absolutely! Start drafting the statement, and I'll have Liam send you the account login details. We need to handle this immediately. Dad is still overseas, and we have to clean up this mess before he gets back so he doesn't have to worry."

"Consider it done," Finn replied indifferently.

Having secured Finn's cooperation, Ford patted him on the shoulder and walked away with profound satisfaction.

Even his retreating back radiated the absolute confidence of a man entirely in control.

Only Finn and Chloe remained.

Chloe looked at him with tear-filled eyes:

"Finn, you're willing to bare your heart and support your brother, so why won't you do the same for me..."

"Chloe, I'm going to ask you a question, and I want an honest answer." Finn looked intently at her.

Hope flared in Chloe's eyes, and she nodded eagerly:

"Ask anything. I am completely devoted to you."

"Finn, aren't you staying?"

Ignoring her completely, Finn got straight into his car.

Unwilling to give up, Chloe tried to grab the car door handle, aiming to pull a pity act to force Finn to stay.

Finn didn't even flinch. He started the engine and drove off, resolute and without a shred of hesitation.

Chloe collapsed to the floor, watching Finn's car disappear into the distance, a chilling dread creeping into her heart that she had never felt before...

Felicia's call came in. He put in his earpiece and answered.

"The chain of evidence you sent over is rock solid. I've had the lawyers review it, and the shareholders are locked in.

We've set the showdown for the day after tomorrow at the Healthcare Innovation Summit. It's an inconspicuous location; Ford will never suspect you're going there to meet the board." She paused for a moment.

"But right now, we need something even more damning—hard proof that Ford is unfit to be CEO, or control of the company's public relations platform to shatter his hypocritical facade in one fell swoop."

"I've already got that handled."
