Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: Chapter 332 True and False Alternation (2/2)
…
A deluge of chaotic questions bombarded Fang Yuan one after another, leaving her somewhat flustered.
Fortunately, she was a professional actress and had ample experience dealing with such situations.
“This relates to a confidential agreement that Mr. Chen, Miss Tong, and I signed several years ago, the specifics of which I am not at liberty to disclose. Moreover, I am now the wife of the Edward Family. As for conjectures about us putting on a show that turned into reality, I urge everyone to speak with caution.”
After a brief explanation, Fang Yuan boarded a business vehicle and swiftly departed.
But the moment the car door closed, her tears couldn’t help but flow uncontrollably.
Everything had been real, yet now she had to claim it was all an act, and it had to come from her own mouth.
It meant that from now on, she could only treat her own biological daughter as a stranger, at most owing her a debt of upbringing.
Han Mintao didn’t know how to comfort her, so he just patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder and instructed the driver to go.
Zhao Family Estate.
Zhao Zhongde furiously smashed a valuable vase to the ground.
“Useless! I thought you were the most virtuous and talented among the third generation of the Zhao Family, yet you’ve managed to fall right into someone else’s trap!”
Zhao Hai sat by, his face full of confusion, not knowing what to do. The Zhao Family was now engulfed in a maelstrom of public opinion, and it wouldn’t be long before the authorities came knocking.
When the walls fall, everyone is ready to push. The Zhao Family had its connections in the relevant departments once upon a time.
But with such a major public opinion crisis now mounting, just being accused of slander would be trouble enough for them, not to mention the numerous other charges that could be brought up!
“How was I to know they had set such an elaborate trap!” Zhao Hai suddenly stood up, becoming somewhat frenzied.
The teacup in front of him was crushed to pieces in his grip, and bright red blood flowed from his palm.
“Grandfather, with the Zhao Family in this situation, everyone here is responsible. How can all the problems be blamed solely on me?”
His outburst silenced the room instantly; even Zhao Zhongde was taken aback.
Now in his seventies or eighties and close to retirement, the future of the Zhao Family relied on these younger men.
Among all the younger members of the Zhao Family, Zhao Hai was the most outstanding and the most likely to inherit the mantle of the family.
Even Zhao Zhongde couldn’t dare to do anything serious to Zhao Hai.
“Then tell me, what should the Zhao Family do now?”
Zhao Hai took several deep breaths.
“If my guess is correct, the one targeting us should be the Edward Family, and it’s that woman, Fang Yuan, settling personal scores under public pretext!”
“We can find capital overseas to contain them, and then, relying on the connections the Zhao Family has built, we can confront the domestic capital, which may help us resolve this crisis.”
Zhao Zhongde nodded, his eyes showing approval.
“We still have some relations with overseas families. Given that, I’ll set aside my pride and invite them over.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a rather seductively dressed woman hurried over and approached Zhao Zhongde.
“President, there’s big trouble! Thirteen of our companies have suddenly announced their independence, and the heads of fifty-four other companies have publicly declared their intention to demand a higher share of stock dividends. The rest are also restless and likely to follow suit.”
