Such a man, despicable!!
Christine Quinn stord back to the office and threw all the extra ninety-plus copies of the docunts into the shredder.
"Damn it! Pervert!! If there is a next ti, I’ll definitely sue you for sexual harassnt!!" Wait, there’ll be no next ti; how could she let him have another chance!
"Do you think playing around like this is fun? You think you’re a great lover, but you’re just a perverted playboy..." Christine mumbled as she put the docunts into the shredder.
Noon.
Beep... beep...
The fax machine beside her also started transmitting signals.
After all the ninety-plus copies had been completely destroyed, Christine finally turned around and picked up the docunt that had just been faxed over.
"Uh, strange... what is this?"
Christine looked at the fax and saw a shocking line of words—
Expose the true identity of the mysterious CEO! The abandoned prince!
Looking further down, the densely packed text made her chest tighten with each word—
The nation’s dream man, the CEO of "Oversky" Group, was abandoned by his parents as a child. It is understood that Skyler Jones was born in New York, into a wealthy family, and was granted custody to his father after his parents divorced. However, because his father favored his younger brother, who was granted to the mother, the father beca increasingly dissatisfied with him, eventually kicking Skyler Jones out... After that, Skyler Jones was impoverished, down and out, living a life of wandering from place to place until he was hired by the predecessor of "Oversky" Group, the ’Jones’ Industrial Group...
The paper holding Christine’s hand trembled slightly, unable to believe this shocking news...
She knew he might be an orphan, but she never thought he wasn’t one in the true sense. He had parents and grew up in a wealthy family, and it was because of being abandoned by them that he beca the solitary person he is today...
No wonder his past has always been a mystery, and no wonder he doesn’t like to talk about it.
A sense of acute pain arose from the depths of her heart, and she couldn’t believe he had such an experience. It seed too cruel for fate to treat soone like this...
She used to think her life was unfortunate enough, but suddenly she felt she was much luckier than him. At least she still had a mother who, despite being ntally unstable, still loved her. But he, in this world, had not a single caring relative...
Ring— Ring...
The shrill ringing of the phone pierced through the almost suffocating heaviness.
Christine picked up the phone, and before she could speak, a low and eerie male voice ca through from the other end—
"Got the fax?" The man spoke with accented foreign Chinese, seemingly suppressing a threatening chuckle.
Christine gripped the phone, her heart sinking, finally realizing things weren’t simple.
"You... who are you?" she asked.
The other person seed taken aback, having expected Skyler Jones to answer but was surprised to find a soft spoken woman instead.
"Get Skyler Jones to take the call," the man demanded over the phone.
"He’s in a eting. I’m his secretary. Whatever you need, you can tell , and I’ll relay it to him," Christine took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.
"Secretary?" The other side hesitated for a mont before speaking again, "Alright, you saw the fax, right? Such explosive news, the dia would definitely be very interested, right?"
Christine felt a chill rise from her heart, "What do you want?"
"What do I want? You tell Skyler Jones, if he doesn’t want his pitiful past to be exposed, he must imdiately transfer ten million to my account, otherwise, it will beco the headline of major news outlets tomorrow."
Ten million? This... this is clearly blackmail!
"Sir, what you’re doing is immoral. Aren’t you afraid we’ll report you to the police?" Christine tried her best to stay composed.
"Immoral? Miss Secretary, I’m just asking for money, others are waiting to see him make a fool of himself!" The man let out a cold laugh, "This news is said to have been released by his own younger brother, clearly wanting to disgrace him... the power gas among these wealthy people, I don’t want to get involved in. I just want money, tell your boss to get the money ready quickly, otherwise, prepare for a scandal!"
"Give three minutes, I’ll get back to you right away."
"Alright, Miss Secretary, be quick. I’m not very patient."
Christine quickly ended the call and then called Skyler Jones.
