My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Finding a therapist

As Daniel stormed out of the office, the assistant who had been waiting outside quickly rose from his seat and hurried toward the door.

Inside, Tristin had already returned to reviewing documents as though nothing had happened.

A knock sounded.

"Come in."

The assistant entered cautiously.

"Sir, I’m very sorry. I tried to stop him—"

"It’s fine."

Tristin cut him off before he could finish.

The assistant visibly relaxed.

"About the matter we discussed earlier... have you found him?"

"Yes, sir."

The assistant immediately straightened.

"We tracked him down yesterday. The location, along with all the evidence we gathered, has already been handed over to the police."

A satisfied smile appeared on Tristin’s face.

For the past several days, he had quietly been investigating everything connected to the warehouse fire.

When Daniel first approached him with his plan to remove Alexander, Tristin had refused to participate in anything that would harm the company.

Yet Daniel had proceeded anyway.

By the time Tristin learned what had happened, the damage had already been done.

At first, he had been furious.

He had even threatened to expose Daniel.

But Daniel had convinced him otherwise.

He insisted it was all necessary.

That once Alexander was removed, the company would recover and become stronger.

Looking back now, Tristin felt disgusted with himself for believing those lies.

The deeper he investigated, the uglier the truth became.

The warehouse fire had never been an accident.

The missing employee had been hired by Daniel.

The worker who died that night had been heavily intoxicated and manipulated into starting the fire.

Even the grieving wife who later appeared in interviews had been paid by Daniel to fuel public outrage.

Everything had been carefully orchestrated.

And Tristin had unknowingly helped conceal it.

Now that he finally understood Daniel’s true intentions, guilt weighed heavily on him.

Which was why he had decided to uncover everything.

The missing employee had been hiding in another city under Daniel’s protection.

The moment Tristin located him, he forwarded the information to the police together with all the evidence they had gathered.

The assistant continued:

"It was submitted yesterday."

He hesitated briefly before adding,

"I believe the police will move against Daniel Caldwell very soon."

Tristin nodded.

"And there’s more."

"The shareholders of Echelon Industries have become increasingly dissatisfied."

"They’ve already begun discussing a vote to replace Daniel as CEO."

In other words, it was only a matter of time before Daniel started losing everything.

"Good."

Tristin closed the file in front of him.

"Maintain contact with the police."

"And be prepared to assist whenever necessary."

"Understood, sir."

The assistant nodded.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

Tristin was about to dismiss him when the assistant suddenly remembered something.

"Actually, sir..."

He stopped near the door and turned around.

"The legal department contacted me regarding Chairwoman Roseline’s will."

Tristin looked up.

The position of chairman remained vacant.

And the contents of Roseline’s will could determine the future direction of the entire group.

"When is the reading scheduled?"

"Tomorrow morning."

The assistant’s answer made Tristin fall silent.

Tomorrow.

The board had been waiting for this moment ever since Roseline passed away.

He tapped his fingers lightly against the desk.

"Make sure everything is prepared."

"Yes, sir."

With that, the assistant finally left.

The office became quiet once more.

But this time, Tristin found himself unable to focus on the files spread across his desk.

Instead, his thoughts drifted toward the upcoming will reading.

Most of Roseline’s children had little interest in managing Blackwood Dominion.

That left only a handful of realistic candidates.

Yet knowing Roseline, things would never be that simple.

A faint frown appeared on his face.

Who exactly had she chosen?

And what would happen when the board found out?

By this time tomorrow, every answer would finally be revealed.

Alexander’s POV

"Sir Alexander, the will reading for the late Chairwoman has been scheduled for tomorrow," Jane said over the phone.

I stood still as I listened.

Since my grandfather passed, Grandma Roseline inherited the largest shares, while my father’s portion was transferred to me. That made me the second-largest shareholder in the company after her.
