The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 307

Cayden had an air of wisdom and elegance about him, and a single icy-cold glare was enough to make others change their attitude toward him.

Xavier made his way over to Cayden and handed him a huge stack of documents. “Here you go, Mr. Moore. I'm almost done with the task you assigned me. One of the men who kidnapped Ms. Rumpley's grandfather is a guy named David Lewis. Apparently, David is still in Ackleton. Perhaps he believes it's the last place anyone would think to look. By purchasing a fake ID card and going into hiding, David actually managed to avoid detection. Despite his cautiousness, his gambling addiction kicked in and ruined everything for him. A few days ago, David went to try his luck at a casino. That was how our men found him and captured him. With David in custody, the police are able to continue investigating the abduction of Ms. Rumpley's grandfather. Dylan will most likely go to jail if David confesses that Dylan is the mastermind and not Yvonne. Also, I managed to find lots of evidence of Dylan's crimes throughout the past few years.”

An icy-cold glint flashed past Cayden's eyes when he heard that. He patted Xavier on the shoulder and said, “Thanks, Xavier. You did a great job.”

Avery had just gotten off work when she received a call from Dylan.

He hadn't contacted her in a very long time since Cayden beat him up.

Seeing his name on the caller ID reminded Avery of the time he nearly took advantage of her.

Ugh... I really don't want to answer his call, but I'll still have to face him when I divorce him anyway.

With that in mind, she reluctantly answered the call, “What do you want?”

“Let's meet up and discuss our divorce. Make sure you come alone,” Dylan said.

Skeptical, Avery refused to believe he called her just to talk about their divorce.

Having learned her lesson, she didn't dare meet him alone either.

“If you don't come over, then you can forget about divorcing me. I'll be waiting for you at Aquaris Café,” Dylan added and hung up the phone immediately after.

Avery shuddered in disgust as she stared at the screen of her phone and recalled how dangerous and cunning Dylan was.

Her instincts were telling her that she shouldn't meet this man who harbored ill intentions toward her before they got divorced, so she decided to ignore him for the time being.

After giving it some thought, however, she changed her mind and gave Cayden a call.

Meanwhile, as soon as the call ended, Dylan floored the accelerator and headed straight to Aquaris Café.

Determined to have a proper discussion with Avery, he then booked a private room with an elegant and serene environment.

He was missing her dearly as he hadn't seen her in a very long time, and the article published by JK Media only made him all the more anxious.

I got careless... I didn't think Cayden would expose her identity as the mother to Zachary and Rory! Judging by the fact that Gregory's posts have all been deleted, it's safe to assume he has been arrested. All of the netizens are siding with Cayden and Avery after reading the article published by JK Media. It won't be long before they all start to hate me. I know Avery is nothing but trouble, and yet, I can't seem to let go of her. I'm not sure if it's love at first sight or a refusal to accept the reality of the situation. Regardless, I will never let go of her, even if holding on will only bring me pain and suffering.

A relaxing song was playing in the background as time continued to tick away.

The ashtray on Dylan's table was filled with cigarette butts, but he still saw no sign of Avery anywhere.

Unable to contain his impatience any longer, Dylan was about to give Avery another call when the door to his private room suddenly opened. Cayden exuded an intense domineering aura as he entered the room a few seconds later.

Dylan glared coldly at Cayden as he sat down elegantly in front of him.

It wasn't the first time those two powerful men were seated in the same room, but something was different about this encounter. The two of them were on guard as though they were ready to attack each other at any given moment.

“What are you doing here?” Dylan asked in displeasure.

He could still feel a dull ache in his ribs that Cayden broke.

I called Avery to come over, so why is it Cayden that shows up instead? Oh, Avery... Do you really think you'd be safe just because you have Cayden on your side?

Cayden got straight to the point and handed Dylan a folder. “Here, a gift for you.”

Dylan casually opened the folder and saw that it contained a CD and a huge stack of documents.

After browsing through a few of them, his eyes went wide with shock.

Eventually, he slammed his fist on the table and, with his charming face contorted out of anger and fear, yelled angrily at Cayden, “What's the meaning of this, Cayden?”

“It's simple, really. I just want you to divorce Avery,” Cayden replied while pouring himself a cup of coffee.

Dylan was so mad that he nearly ripped the documents to pieces on the spot.

After taking a moment to regain his composure, he leaned against his chair and said in the calmest voice possible, “Did you really think you could threaten me with this? All of these happened a long time ago, and you don't have enough evidence to pin anything on me. Don't think you're safe just because JK Media has helped you turn the tide around. My marriage with Avery is certified by City Hall, so there's nothing you can do about it! I'll fight you to the death if you don't back off!”

Although Dylan was putting up a very tough front, he was shaking in his boots.

How is Cayden able to gather all that evidence of my past crimes? He even found out about my hit-and-run case, unlawful possession of firearms, money laundering, and many more. I thought I had covered all of my tracks for those crimes! Even if I didn't, my father would've cleaned things up for me! That's how I was able to get away with all those crimes throughout the years! The only time I got arrested was because the police caught me red-handed. With all those witnesses present, I had no choice but to plead guilty. I thought I had covered my tracks perfectly, and yet, Cayden was able to uncover them all! Beneath that calm and gentle appearance of his lies a cunning predator that stalks you in the shadows while waiting for the perfect moment. When your guard is down, he'll attack mercilessly and finish you off in one strike!
