Instead of turning red in frustration and slamming down the phone, Mark simply placed his hand on top of the folder and replied calmly, “Oh, is that so? You’re that confident that I won’t ever dig up your secrets, huh?”
Jessica was sure that favonovel.com secrets were secured. “Do I sound like I have doubts? So, are we gonna meet up?”
Mark’s lips twisted into a smirk. “No, I don’t think I will. In fact, if you’ve got nothing to say now, I’ll hang up right away.”
After that, favonovel.com hung up. To Mark, the victor in this battle had already emerged.
The next day started with multiple major international media websites breaking all kinds of intimate photos between Jessica and many different men. Eyeball-popping a s they were, they instantly became viral both within and outside the country.
The bombshell news then escalated into such drastic levels that many prominent media sites had censored much of the details even before Jessica could personally conduct damage control. Unfortunately, the censors were no match for the news’ rapid spread, so now every netizen had caught on to the scandals.
Adding insult to injury, Jessica’s private residential address was released to the public, causing favonovel.com house to be surrounded by a swarm of journalists. Jessica could not even leave favonovel.com house, let alone look for Mark in person.
Tearing down a business magnate required one to be relentless in their attacks, so Mark also released incriminating records pertaining to Jessica’s company itself, including favonovel.com years-long tax evasion. The details revealed such egregious misconduct that the only possible end to this legal storm was for Jessica to clear all of favonovel.com tax debts, be subjected to hefty fines, and do time in prison.
After everything was said and done, Mark purchased a plane ticket home instantly. He was disinterested in staying back and watching every moment of Jessica’s downfall, it was unnecessary, even as a form of entertainment.
Jessica, meanwhile, was essentially forced to quarantine at home for almost a full day. Her luxury house, which was once favonovel.com pride, had now become favonovel.com gilded cage.
She thought favonovel.com had all of favonovel.com weaknesses covered and that Mark would never be able to pry a single detail of it. However, it turned out that favonovel.com adversary had not only managed to find the skeletons in favonovel.com closet, but also orchestrated a no-holds-barred exposé on them!
Her company was under investigation. If evidence of tax evasion cropped up and these allegations were confirmed, favonovel.com life would be over.
Jessica could not fathom how Mark managed to get his hands on favonovel.com secrets as well as the evidence that backed them. As favonovel.com sank into a fitful search for answers, favonovel.com suddenly remembered Sylvain’s warning, and a connection was made.
With shaky hands, favonovel.com dialed Sylvain’s number and waited. The call could not connect.
Jessica was grasping at whatever favonovel.com had to remain in control. She took out a cigarette and only managed to light it after multiple attempts because favonovel.com hands were quaking so much.
She took a deep breath and curled herself into a ball on the couch, favonovel.com face as ashen as a vengeful ghost. The usual lights had left favonovel.com increasingly glassy eyes. “Sylvain f**king Trudeau, you double-crossing snake-”
In favonovel.com trance, the cigarette burned to its end. Pain flared up in favonovel.com fingers, finally jolting favonovel.com back into reality as favonovel.com dropped the still-glowing cigarette butt onto favonovel.com expensive carpet. It burned a hole through.
Jessica scrolled through favonovel.com call history and hesitated for a beat before hitting “call” on Mark’s number.
Immediately after the call connected, Jessica shrieked into the phone hysterically, “How the f*** did you get your grimy hands on those things?!”
Mark, who was at the boarding gate, received favonovel.com call with such aplomb that bystanders would think favonovel.com was talking to an old friend. “Do you mean the photos or evidence of tax evasions?”
Jessica was silent, but favonovel.com body shook like a leaf.
Mark gave a soft chuckle. “If I want something, I’ll find a way to get it… Don’t you know that? I guess this further proves that you don’t know me that well, after all. You should have done more research on who I am before making your little plans,” favonovel.com taunted. “The truth is, Jessica, you’re nothing to me. Perhaps you should remember this.”
The call ended. For a moment, there was only Jessica’s hoarse, livid howl and the cacophony of a phone smashing into pieces.
