Edith Price was a cunning woman… it was strange that she’d do something so foolish, when she’d all but won already, going to the security room to tamper with recordings.
What a brilliant man that Jasper Hughes was!
Willow was in awe at how he’d managed to expose her treachery like that.
Reading on, the following articles were about how Ziegler Corporation had been surrendered to the control of the Hughes family as reparations for losses incurred, along with a penalty of two billion from the purse of ex-CEO Charles Zeigler himself.
Without spending a single cent, Hughes Corporation had acquired the Zeigler Corporation, along with an extra two billion in funds!
They’d been absolved of the plagiarism scandal, too! If anything, public confidence in them had now risen to an all-time high!
Hughes Corporation had emerged from this mess as far-and-away the overall winner!
Popular admiration towards Jasper Hughes was running rampant across the internet.
Handsome, wealthy, and brilliant too! There was no other man like him in this world!
His countless female fans were screaming their ardent desire to become the lucky woman by his side.
Willow found herself smiling at Jasper’s popularity. There certainly were a great many people who’d fallen for his charms.
Although she herself had been caught up in this storm as well, there wasn’t a single mention of her name anywhere. She’d been framed, and even arrested, but nobody seemed to have any idea.
No surprise, there. Who cared about a little miss nobody like her? Everyone was a side character compared to the blinding glory of the great Jasper Hughes.
In any case, at least all the drama had come to an end.
Lunchtime at noon, in the main lobby of the Hughes Corporation headquarters…
Lara had arrived. She headed straight for the lift, but a security guard stopped her, and asked her to sign in at the front desk first.
So she turned back and went over to the front desk, where she announced herself politely: “I’m here to see someone. Could you sign me in, please?”
The young lady at the front desk received her warmly. “Who is it, madam? I’ll give them a call.”
