The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 289

No one had expected that the man was actually Cayden, the owner of Trident Group.

The news consequently shook the entire internet, and the netizens online were divided into three groups.

One of the groups consisted of Cayden's die-hard fans. They defended Cayden's reputation, claiming that someone as handsome, gentle, rich, and powerful as Cayden could get any woman he wanted. As such, they refused to believe that Cayden would snatch someone's wife away.

Meanwhile, the opposing group did not believe in Cayden. After all, no one could fully understand the private life of the rich. According to them, Cayden might seem upright and above board on the surface, but he could also behave differently under the limelight.

One of the users commented: Maybe he's pretending to be a gentleman. Underneath his mask, Cayden might be inhumane! After all, that social circle is very messy. Relatives and even family members might have abnormal and complicated relationships with each other. There are already many scandals about the riches often engaging in incest!

Hence, the opposing group believed in the scandal posted by the admin on the forum.

To them, the world was a place full of darkness. Therefore, the scandal indirectly reflected their dark side.

Meanwhile, there were also those who tried to take a neutral stance. These people were observing the matter quietly and waited for the development of the scandal.

In less than an hour, Cayden's loyal supporters and the opposing group flooded the forum with their lengthy posts. Both of the groups had their respective perspectives on the matter and shared their views like professional debaters.

Because of the scandal, Avery finally got to witness the power of ghostwriters and how skilled they were. After all, the netizens were not afraid to voice out their personal opinion online.

As Avery read them, she furrowed her brows. I don't care what's the intention of the author posting this. I won't forgive this person easily, as he has involved my children in this scandal! This is too much! Why would someone involve kids in adults' affairs?

Avery picked up her phone and wanted to give Cayden a call. Just when she was about to call him, she received a call from Cayden.

Instantly, she answered the phone.

Before he could say anything, Avery told him that she had seen the post.

“Don't worry. I've seen the post. I'll settle this matter,” comforted Cayden.

Avery was clueless as to how Cayden was going to solve the problem. Nonetheless, she felt at peace and felt less anxious after hearing his comforting words as she had faith in Cayden.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Dylan smoked his cigarette leisurely. He was the male lead in the post. The author stated that Dylan was currently covered in bandages and was barely hanging on to his life.

Dylan could not help but smirk evilly while reading the heated debates in the post. He then shifted his attention to the twenty-seven-year-old man who had a disheveled beard. “That's a good post. I guess I've found the right person,” Dylan complimented him.

The young man was unemployed. Usually, he would earn a living by writing dramatic love stories online. His daily expenses were pretty high. Hence, he desperately needed money to feed himself.

As such, he did not hesitate to take Dylan's offer. Earlier, he had received twenty thousand from Dylan only as a deposit.

It was not a difficult job for him, as he only needed to add more spice to exaggerate his story about the wealthy family. He did not bother about the truth as long as the job could earn him a handsome reward.

Dylan handed him a card and uttered, “This is the remaining one hundred eighty thousand. If the post garners more attention, I'll give you an extra reward for that.”

Without hesitation, the man took the card and thanked Dylan with an ingratiating smile. “Thank you, Mr. Musk. Feel free to contact me if you need me to write similar posts for you in the future.”

After the man left, Dylan stubbed out the cigarette, and his lips curled upward into a grin.

Cayden, Avery, you guys forced me to get a divorce, right? I bet both of you can't afford to act arrogantly anymore!

At the top floor of Trident Group was the CEO's office. The atmosphere was tense and cold, just like the aura emitted by Cayden.

At that time, he was not perusing his work on the laptop. Instead, he was reading one of the trending posts on a forum.

Xavier stood beside him respectfully, but he was shivering from the terrifying aura coming out of Cayden.

Mr. Moore always turns incredibly cold whenever it was something that involves Ms. Rumpley.

“Find out the identity of the author and block him immediately. Also, contact him and send him directly to the police station. I bet he has prepared himself mentally to bear the consequences before he decided to spread these fake rumors online. Help me inform the board of directors that I want to acquire all the Musk family's assets as soon as possible. Since Dylan wants to challenge my bottom line, then I shall fulfill his wishes. Besides, help me contact JK Media, I want to talk to Robert Lincoln.” After instructing Xavier, Cayden lowered his gaze to hide the intense rage in his eyes with his eyelashes.

He opened his eyes and looked straight into Xavier's eyes with an expressionless face.

Seeing that, Xavier could feel his heart jolt abruptly. He nodded and swiftly carried out Cayden's order.

Cayden then fixed his gaze on the pixelated wedding photo, and an intriguing cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Dylan, you may attack me all you want. However, you've gone overboard by exposing Avery and the children to the public. It seems like you haven't learned from the lesson last time. You're asking for a death wish, and I shall fulfill your wish.

A cold expression formed on Cayden's features. He looked ferocious like a beast hiding in the dark, preparing to attack with his terrifying claws.

In the meantime, Nicole had just finished filming her new drama and was resting on the set. While she was chatting with her best friend on a video call, her best friend sent her a link and asked her to click on it mischievously.

Being best friends, both of them exchanged a lot of secrets with each other. Naturally, she knew that Nicole's crush was Cayden.

Hence, she sent her the link upon learning about Cayden's scandal.

Nicole clicked on the link subconsciously and read its content. After that, she could not help but get all excited.

Her hunch told her that the parties involved in that scandal were Cayden, Avery, and Dylan.

After reading the in-depth analysis online, Nicole believed in her intuition.

I'm not bothered about the truth of the contents. Now that the scandal involves Avery, her reputation will be tainted! Yes, that's the way!

Quickly, Nicole took off her outfit and changed into her own clothes. She merely informed her assistant that she was leaving without notifying the producer and director. With that, she left the place with her makeup.

The director was prepared to film the next scene and wanted to ask Nicole to get ready. Unexpectedly, he saw Nicole leaving in a luxury car. Seeing that, he got infuriated that he threw away the script directly.

Inwardly, he cursed Nicole. Does she know how much it costs to invest in a costume drama? None of the top actors would leave that brazenly. She's acting so arrogant! Who does she think she is? She must be thinking that she has to right to act unscrupulously because she's the daughter of the state secretary. Hmph! Without that status, I don't think she could survive in the entertainment industry!

After she left, Nicole drove directly to the shopping mall. She bought a few luxury bags and some expensive diamond accessories before heading to the Moore residence in a rush.

Upon arrival, Nicole handed the gifts to Allie, buttering the lady up. Later, she stammered, “Mrs. Moore, I just heard about something related to Cayden, but I'm not sure whether I should let you know about it...”

At that moment, Allie was in a rather good mood. She patted Nicole's hand and replied gently, “There's no need to hold back with me, Nicole. I hate people who beat around the bush. What's the matter? You can be direct with me.”

She pretended to hesitate for a while before passing her phone to Allie, showing her the forum post that read: The Rich's Scandal.
