The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 465

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, a breaking news story surged to the top of trending topics, marked with the "Trending" tag.

The headline stated, "Crimea Group Disregards Human Life."

Someone reported that the Crimea Group disregarded the law and tried to cover up murder with money.

Given the involvement of human life and its connection to the five influential families, the news became a trending topic across the internet.

The informant identified herself as Mdm. Guthfrey.

She burst into tears in front of the reporter, her cry was heart-wrenching.

"The person who died was my husband. He was working at a villa development site under the Crimea Group before passing away."

The reporter questioned, "Please accept our condolences. May I ask why your husband died?"

Amid wiping her tears, Mdm. Guthfrey's voice trembled as she told the whole story.

"At the time, the Crimea Group said that it was an accident! They claimed my husband did not fasten his safety harness, which led to his death. I found it suspicious from the beginning because my husband was a meticulous person... Our child is still very young, he had a strong fear of heights, and we were living with his parents, so it's impossible for him not to use the safety harness!"

"However, the Crimea Group stuck to their version of events. Many workers at the construction site stood on their side. The Crimea Group exhibited a cooperative attitude, offering a one-million-dollar accident settlement since my husband's death happened on their premises. At the time, I didn't understand the situation, so I believed their story naively. I accepted the compensation and thought the matter was over."

As she uttered these words, Mdm. Guthfrey's expression showed intense pain.

The reporter probed further, "Do you have any other suspicions?"

Mdm. Guthfrey nodded, her eyes reddened as she stated, "I think that my husband's death wasn't an accident. The Crimea Group planned this murder and then convinced the workers to deny the truth, trying to solve the issue through money!"

As the video was released, it caused an uproar.

In just an hour, the stock market of the Crimea Group was thrown into chaos.

The gravity of the situation was serious as it involved the loss of human life.

Commenters were scolding the Crimea Group.

"A businessman who thrives on the misery of others has no place among the five influential families."

"It's the Crimea Group again. They haven't even addressed the problems with their previous product, and now they're suspected of causing someone's death. When will the authorities investigate them?"

"Are the wealthy so untouchable now that they can disregard both human life and the law?"

"Good Lord, if this is true, what will become of Mdm. Guthfrey's children and her as a widow? Why hasn't the Crimea Group been shut down?"

At the Crimea Group, Sonny's expression darkened as he looked at the news headline and the hateful comments. His rage nearly caused him to bleed as he violently hurled his phone to the ground.

Through gritted teeth, he growled, "Jean!"

He thought Jean would uphold their agreement and refrain from exposing this to the public.

However, he did not expect the family of the deceased to stir up trouble.

He was not naive as he knew who was behind this!

What aggravated him the most was his inability to confront Jean!

Sonny seethed with anger, his eyes bloodshot from sheer frustration.

Damian rushed in with a solemn expression, "Mr. Sonny, all the shareholders came to the company and are planning to hold a meeting. The chairman wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Sonny's complexion deteriorated further.

"A bunch of old men. They usually know how to pocket profits, but when something happens, they're quick to stir up trouble!"

He was infuriated, yet he had to maintain composure. He instructed Damian, "Find a way immediately. Find Mdm. Guthfrey and promise her as much compensation as she wants! As long as she agrees to drop the lawsuit. I'll head to the conference room now."

"Yes, Mr. Sonny."

Damian accepted the orders and hurried to do so.

...

Meanwhile, Neera also caught wind of the breaking news.

She finally understood the aftermath that Jean had set into motion.

As soon as the news was spread, it would not be easy for the Crimea Group to sweep the issue under the rug.

Neera felt no sympathy for Sonny in the least.

Considering the myriad of devious tactics Sonny planned, he got what he deserved.

She also believed this man had committed various despicable acts behind the scenes.

If he had not provoked Jean with his excessive bullying, Jean would not have delved into this matter!

In her eyes, the Crimea Group was only reaping what they sowed!
