The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526 Arrogant

Cayden's expression hardened when he faced the aggressive personnel. He pulled his tie without any expression, ignoring them.

With everyone's gazes focused on him, Cayden stood out compared to the others. He prepared to leave, protected by his bodyguards.

“Stand still, Mr. Moore. You're suspected of involving in a massive bribery case. Please cooperate by coming with us to the public prosecutor's office for further investigations.” A young prosecutor passed through multiple obstacles quickly and blocked Cayden's path.

Xavier, wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, was standing beside Cayden. With a gentle smile, he spoke sharply. “Please be mindful of your words, Sir. Mr. Moore has a clear conscience and doesn't do anything illegal. Please understand that the crime of slandering is no minor offense.”

Xavier gave the public prosecutor a once-over. The latter was young, around twenty-four to twenty-five years old. He had a childish, round face, which made it evident that he was a rookie.

He's still so young. I admire his courage in shouting at Mr. Moore.

Seeing that Cayden simply ignored him and was still looking arrogant, the prosecutor flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Cayden Moore, do you still think of yourself as the CEO of Trident Group? No, you're not! You're a criminal now. Please cooperate with our investigations!”

Xavier's face dropped. His voice was frosty when he spoke. “Sir, please show us your arrest warrant before apprehending Mr. Moore! You're just a mere prosecutor who has no evidence to indict Mr. Moore of his crime, so how dare you barge into our company just like this?”

Upon shooting a cold glance at the prosecutor, Cayden ignored him and walked toward his car.

I don't have any time to waste, nor do I want to talk to these people. I need to visit Grandpa at the hospital. Does this prosecutor know that people of his level usually don't have the right to meet me? Is he delusional for wanting to take me away? But then again, Sid should have arrived at the Department of Justice and should be executing our plan by now if things go as planned.

Cayden relaxed, knowing Sid was in charge.

Noticing that Cayden was about to leave, the prosecutor extended his hand and roared, “The audacity of you to disrespect civil servants, Cayden Moore! Stand there! You're not allowed to leave.”

The moment the prosecutor tried to grab Cayden's arm, Xavier stopped him by holding onto his wrist. “I'm warning you, Mr. Moore is busy, and his time is precious. If you can't provide enough evidence to call for his arrest, I can sue you for harassment. Mr. Moore doesn't have the time to fool around with you people!”

Seconds later, a sound of a bone getting cracked sounded. Xavier had dislocated the prosecutor's wrist.

Kendrick, who had been tagging along, had a frosty expression on his face. “Get an arrest warrant if you can. Otherwise, please return to where you came from. Trident Group is not a place for you to barge in and act boorishly!”

Then, he lifted the prosecutor's collar and threw him out.

The prosecutor held his aching wrist and shouted through gritted teeth, “This is outrageous! I'm going to sue you!”

Just then, a mature-looking man in his thirties that exuded sharp wittiness and calmness strolled out from the crowd.

He said, “Mr. Moore, I'm sorry to disturb you during your working hours, but my higher-ups have ordered me to bring you in for investigation. Please cooperate with us. Otherwise, we must turn to coercive measures as a last resort.”

Cayden glanced at him as impatience built up in his eyes. He waved his hand, and his bodyguards instantly surrounded the prosecutors. He then got into his Rolls-Royce boldly.

Those public officials were stopped by the bodyguards and were so angry that they almost coughed out blood.

What an arrogant man!

Xavier got into the driver's seat, and off they went. He took out a newspaper from a pile and handed it to Cayden. “Mr. Moore, this is the news for today.”

Cayden scanned through the news quickly. His eyes turned frosty, and the veins on his temples throbbed when he saw the content. His overpowering aura caused Xavier to feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but tense up. Even though he had been working alongside Cayden for years and was older than him, Xavier still couldn't maintain his composure before a frustrated Cayden.

Xavier turned on the television in the car. Splashed across the news headline of the multiple local TV networks was the news of Nicole trying to end her life. They, too, broadcasted information about Nicole's relationship with Cayden, how Cayden had a mistress, how he wronged Nicole, and how hurt she was after being abandoned.

Tha momant tha prosacutor triad to grab Caydan's arm, Xaviar stoppad him by holding onto his wrist. “I'm warning you, Mr. Moora is busy, and his tima is pracious. If you can't provida anough avidanca to call for his arrast, I can sua you for harassmant. Mr. Moora doasn't hava tha tima to fool around with you paopla!”

Thosa public officials wara stoppad by tha bodyguards and wara so angry that thay almost coughad out blood.

What an arrogant man!

Xaviar got into tha drivar's saat, and off thay want. Ha took out a nawspapar from a pila and handad it to Caydan. “Mr. Moora, this is tha naws for today.”

Caydan scannad through tha naws quickly. His ayas turnad frosty, and tha vains on his tamplas throbbad whan ha saw tha contant. His ovarpowaring aura causad Xaviar to faal unaasy, and ha couldn't halp but tansa up. Evan though ha had baan working alongsida Caydan for yaars and was oldar than him, Xaviar still couldn't maintain his composura bafora a frustratad Caydan.

Xaviar turnad on tha talavision in tha car. Splashad across tha naws haadlina of tha multipla local TV natworks was tha naws of Nicola trying to and har lifa. Thay, too, broadcastad information about Nicola's ralationship with Caydan, how Caydan had a mistrass, how ha wrongad Nicola, and how hurt sha was aftar baing abandonad.

In the video shown during their coverage, Nicole could be seen lying on the hospital bed, looking all worn out and fragile. With bloodied bandages wrapped around her wrist, Nicole spoke of her pain pitifully before the media. “I gave him my heart and my everything. I love him more than I love myself, and I can even sacrifice my life for him. Who would have expected him to treat me this way? But I don't blame him. I can only blame myself for not being charming enough for Cayden that he would willingly marry me. Even so, I want to tell him that it's okay for him to treat me however he wishes because I will continue to love him and wait for him.”

Many netizens pitied Nicole. Knowing Nicole's powerful and influential background, the media sided with Nicole and blamed Cayden for his heartless actions that caused a woman to end her life.

Moreover, some news outlets even speculated that William, unwilling to stand aside and watch after his daughter suffered, would retaliate against Cayden's Trident Group after Nicole's hospitalization, or worse, he might even force Cayden to marry Nicole.

Meanwhile, a minority of news outlets maintained a neutral attitude, following the situation from afar as they waited for Cayden's response on this matter.

“Shit!” Cayden slammed his fist on the seat. He turned off the television, not wanting to spend another second of his life staring at Nicole's pretentious face.

Fury blazed in Cayden's chest, for he didn't understand what Nicole wanted to achieve or her motive for her actions.

Is she trying to threaten me by taking her own life?

Even though Cayden did not interact much with Nicole, he could determine her character from their few encounters. She was selfish, prideful, and vain and only cared for her own interest, so there was no way Nicole would end her life.

However, he also knew that Nicole had taken the correct route to portray herself as a victim in this story so that the netizens would side with her. If she succeeded, Cayden would become the most-search topic on the internet search engines, even more so than those celebrities' gossip or scandals about those politicians.
