324.Chapter 324
He asked eagerly, “Mr. Foster, I’ll give you the files you wanted right away. Can I go now?”
Easton turned around, shot a glance at Alex lying on the floor, then signaled Gordon to go get the files from him.
Alex hurriedly handed the files to Gordon, practically shoving them into his hands.
Once Gordon got the files, he also took some from another staff member, and the two of them went over the documents side by side, checking every detail.
Not long after, Alex saw Gordon walk up to Easton, whisper something to him, then dump all the files into a metal bin and set them on fire.
Alex wasn’t surprised that Easton burned the files, but what really got him curious was what Gordon had been checking those files against earlier.
Fletcher drove a dagger straight into Alex’s arm. Alex let out a terrified scream, while Stella was left frozen in horror at the brutal scene.
Fletcher sneered, “Mr. Weston, you really think Mr. Foster couldn’t get those files himself? He only had you bring them tonight so the Weston family wouldn’t have anything left to use against him down the line.”
Then he whipped out his phone and flashed a video at Alex.
The news headlines blared “Weston Residence Catches Fire, Total Chaos“, “Weston Group Tower Hacked, Operations Paralyzed“, and “Weston Family on the Brink of Bankruptcy, Netizens Say Misfortune Never Comes Alone“.
There were more reports related to them.
Alex’s face went ghostly pale as he watched the video on the phone, his lips trembling. He never imagined Easton could be
so ruthless, he was out to wipe the Weston family off the map.
Fletcher sneered, “Mr. Weston, we tracked down those two hitmen you paid off in Redrock City. They took your cash and went after Ms. Roth on the sly.
“We could’ve just handed all the dirt to the cops, but Mr. Foster said that’d be way too easy on you.”
Alex shot a panicked look at Easton.
Fletcher didn’t give him a chance to speak. He waved at the bodyguards to haul Alex out immediately.
Gordon followed, already setting up a private jet to ship Alex straight back to Yorkland, where he’d be dumped right into those people’s hands.
Prison would’ve been a mercy. For Alex, getting sent to those folks in Yorkland was a fate worse than death.
Stella could only watch as Easton’s men dragged Alex away, her mind going blank with fear. ‘Is it my turn next?‘ she wondered, dread washing over her.
As the news headlines echoed in her head, the Weston residence going up in flames, the Weston Group going bankrupt, all the color drained from Stella’s face.
Easton shot Stella a look of pure disgust. “Stella, besides what you did to David, care to confess what you did to Sophia?”
Stella grabbed the chair next to her and pushed herself up.
She sobbed, “Easton, we’ve known each other for years. I never thought you’d do this to me, or go all out to wipe out the Weston family.
“You turned your back on me for Sophia, fine, I accepted it, I didn’t even complain. But you still remember you are the reason Murray is dead, don’t you?
“You took away the man I loved, you made David lose his father. How could you treat me like this…?”
Stella faked her tears, playing the victim as she brought up old memories.
Katherine had just finished working late and was about to head home. When she got to the lobby, she saw that all the lights in the lounge were on.
Curious, she wandered over and just happened to catch a bit of Easton and Stella’s conversation.
Gordon’s voice sounded. “Ms. Chandler? What

Once Gordon was done with everything, he came to the lounge and uw Katherine standing right outside the door. He called out, but then realized her face was full of tears.
