Betrayed by Fiance, Embraced by Hidden Tycoon-Chapter 258: Grandfather Decision!

Not long after, Allen, Walter Jones’s butler, entered the room with a tense expression. He leaned closer and whispered to him. In just a few seconds, Walter’s calm demeanor slowly changed to one of darkness.

"What’s wrong, Walter? Is something bothering you?" Nathaniel asked, concerned, as he noticed his son looking distressed.

Walter didn’t answer his father directly but glanced at Harvey angrily. It was hard for him to believe what he had heard from Allen.

"Harvey Jones! Did you hear about the news out there? Explain to me what the hell happened!?" Walter was really pissed off. If the news was trustworthy, the company could be in trouble.

"News? What news?" Harvey Jones was taken aback by his father’s words. Without waiting for a reply, he pulled out his cell phone from his pants pocket.

It didn’t take long for Harvey to understand which news his father was referring to. He was shocked. Staring at the news he had tried to suppress over the past few days, he realized it was still there—and it was trending on all platforms.

’Damn it! How could they be so foolish? How could they allow this one article to be online? And let my dad find out about it!’ Harvey couldn’t help but curse his hacker. He tried to think quickly about how to fix this. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Harvey! Can you tell me if the news out there is true?" Walter asked again, noticing his son in a trance as he stared at his cell phone. Just by looking at his expression, Walter’s heart tightened; the news was trustworthy.

"What’s going on?" Nathaniel panicked even more. "Why didn’t you all tell me? Walter? Harvey?"

"Brother Harvey, how could you do this? Didn’t Grandpa always teach you to conduct business the right way? Why did you go through with it, bro?" Sawyer shouted, stunned. He pulled his gaze from his cell phone to look at his brother. A laugh echoed in his heart when he noticed the murderous intent flickering in Harvey’s eyes.

"Sawyer? Hand me your cell phone..." Nathaniel demanded, swiftly taking Sawyer’s phone.

Sawyer handed his cell phone to his grandfather beside him. "Grandpa, please don’t get upset if you read the news..."

Silence fell.

No one said a word. All eyes were on Nathaniel as he looked at Sawyer’s cell phone.

Already tense and struggling to find the answer to share with his father, Harvey felt tensed and nearly paralyzed even more looking at his Grandpa.

Walter Jones was also tense, worried that his father would get even angrier to the point that it would harm his health. However, he could no longer hide the news that Harvey had been named a suspect in a bribery case. Also, a video of a few seconds of Harvey’s wild night party on a luxury yacht had spread on the internet.

"Sawyer..." Nathaniel’s voice echoed. "I can’t read this... The words are too small. Can you tell me what it is?" Nathaniel asked while handing back Sawyer’s cell phone.

Sawyer nearly laughed at how funny his grandpa was now. "Grandpa—"

Walter interrupted Sawyer before he could explain to his grandpa. "Sawyer, let me explain this to your grandpa..."

Walter looked at Nathaniel. After trying to calm his anger and disappointment, he informed his father about the news circulating on the internet, particularly regarding Harvey’s bribery case.

Nathaniel clenched his hands tightly, took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to Harvey. He already suspected this kid was hiding something from them; he had told a lie.

However, earlier, he tried to believe his grandson and gave him a chance.

"Harvey Jones, this is your last chance. Tell me honestly, what happened?" Nathaniel asked coldly, so cold that it made the temperature in the room suddenly drop below zero.

Harvey gritted his teeth. He was indeed entangled in a bribery case involving high-ranking state officials. When the political opponents of these officials launched their attacks, he was also pulled in.

Now, he was trying to clear his name in this case because he was confident there was no evidence against him. However, an ambiguous piece of evidence suddenly appeared on the investigator’s table, dragging him back into the case again.

The investigator scheduled him for the investigation in two days. He felt uneasy and wanted to know what evidence they had. However, even his hacker couldn’t find a clue. This pissed him off!

He promised God that if he found out who spread the evidence and dragged his name into the case, he would definitely kill that person. Absolutely!

...

Sawyer secretly delighted in his heart as he watched his older brother receive punishment from their father and grandfather.

He wanted to leave the room earlier because he had achieved his goal. However, concerned that his grandfather would be experiencing health issues, he simply sat down, trying to block out the noise and ignore what they were talking about.

Before long, Walter and Nathaniel finally finished discussing with Harvey after deciding how to save the company. They both left the room with their butlers. The only ones remaining were Sawyer and Harvey, who sat facing each other.

Sawyer felt in a good mood after hearing the punishment his grandpa gave to Harvey. They would announce it tomorrow: Harvey would step down from the CEO position, and their father would return as the company’s CEO.

He wanted to hear this: his arrogant, big brother no longer had the power to run the company. He was exhausted by his overbearing and disdainful attitude.

Now that his brother was no longer in power, he wanted to see how arrogant he could be. And if his brother still dared to challenge him, he would not hesitate to punish him again without lifting a finger.

Seeing Harvey sitting in his seat, staring at the marble floor silently, Sawyer finally stood up.

However, before stepping out, a faint smile crept onto his lips as he glanced at Harvey.

"Big bro, I’m sorry about Grandpa and Dad’s decision. Don’t be sad. If the accusations against the bribery case are false, you’ll get your position back—"
