Chapter 6

Author: Period of Peaches
After all the evidence was laid out, Mrs. Cervantes became even more arrogant. "Who in the kitchen business doesn't take a cut? It's the unspoken norm of the industry. And the Shannons are supposed to be a prestigious family, yet you're making a fuss over this? Aren't you afraid I'll expose you to the public?"

10,000 dollars in kickbacks. She actually had the guts to say that.

I retorted, "If you're so unconvinced, how about we get the cops to explain to you whether the law recognizes such unspoken norms?"

"Sure, let them explain. Society recognizes it, so why should I fear some broken law? The law is just some made-up words anyway."

Mrs. Cervantes didn't even struggle, and the process of calling the police went smoothly. In the end, she was taken away in cuffs with justification.

When I returned to campus after taking a few days off, I found that Evonne and Angelo's downfall had spread like wildfire. It included how they forced me into buying a piano, disgustingly took over my co

    Angelo, utterly confused, began to defend himself. "Evie, Chase is just a man who only knows how to insult you. What good intentions could he have? He must be trying to sow discord between us."Evonne gritted her teeth, recited a string of names, then slapped him again.If I had not investigated Mrs. Cervantes, I would not have found out that she and her son, while unable to get into the upper social class, had been sneaking into families with love-blinded young masters like mine. They would then use someone innocent and simple-minded like Evonne to take over our property.Back in high school, Angelo had already slept with seven or eight women. So, the person whom Evonne had been trying so hard to shield was actually a playboy. Her purest Prince Charming had, in an instant, turned into a filthy pig that she despised. Of course, she could not accept that.I wasn't interested in watching any more of the drama, so I left.Shannon Corp.'s legal team swiftly filed a lawsuit against the

    In my previous life, they were not the ones who spread the scandal targeted Shannon Corp., but the ones who orchestrated it. The same tactics, the same story. Relying on public opinion and armed with the knowledge of confidential information Mrs. Cervantes had stolen, they brought down Shannon Corp. and acquired it for themselves. Even though they did not have the means to acquire Shannon Corp. in this life, their malicious intent to destroy us remained.Suppressing the turmoil in my chest, I immediately contacted Shannon Corp.'s legal team. I instructed them to begin gathering evidence and preparing a lawsuit. With the company's product launch at its critical stage, I had to quash the public outcry as quickly as possible.I tracked down Angelo and Evonne's address and, while they were live streaming, I went to confront them. I hired bodyguards to prevent them from ending the livestream and walked into the frame confidently."Recently, there's been a lot of interest in news about Sh

    The lackeys continued questioning the situation, still unwilling to give up."Then she must have connections with the Shannons. Evonne definitely knows your CEO. Get your CEO out here now.""Evonne, say something."Evonne kept her head lowered while I turned around with a mocking smile. "She probably doesn't dare to speak anymore.""Mr. Shannon!" The supervisor greeted me respectfully upon spotting me. "Why didn't you inform us that you were coming? We would've made sure everything was arranged for you."The lackeys were instantly dumbfounded, staring at me in disbelief."Mr. Shannon? Chase is the heir to Shannon Corp.?""Then what about Evonne? Who's Evonne supposed to be?"I remained calm and composed.Angelo, after some thinking, piped up, "Chase, I never expected you to be the heir of Shannon Corp..""You didn't know? Did your mother who's been working as a housekeeper in my house not tell you? Or did she feed you so many of my lunchboxes that it's turned you dumb?" I retorted.One

    Looking at Evonne's disheveled state, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. I thought it would not be difficult to strip away her heiress facade, but it turns out there were more fools in the world than I expected.The underprivileged student immediately rushed over to help Evonne up. "Evonne, your family must be trying to toughen you up. That's why they arranged this, right?""That's right. How could the Shannon heiress, decked out in luxury brands, possibly be from a poor family? We definitely got this chance to visit Shannon Corp. because of Evonne.""Evonne, tell us the truth. Does your family own Shannon Corp.?"Evonne replied in a mysterious tone, "You'll find out soon enough."These people… They were disgusting!I rolled my eyes, which was instantly noticed by a bootlicker nearby. The person said, "What's with that look? Jealous because you can't enjoy the same privilege? Forget it. Shannon Corp. wouldn't tolerate someone as repulsive as you."Angelo snorted cold

    I sneered. "It's clear that you're the peasant here, yet you insist on acting like the master. Aren't you tired of this, Evonne?"A crowd started gathering in the classroom, and the classmates who had always fawned over Evonne and Angelo, without any prompting, immediately stepped forward to criticize me."Evonne and Angelo have always felt sorry for you, Chase, which is why they asked the housekeeper to bring you a meal too. How could you be so ungrateful?""Exactly. Everyone knows you're just pretending to be some rich kid but can't even afford food. If Evonne had not enlisted you as her little sidekick, you'd have starved to death by now.""A sidekick? Me?" I stared at the gossipers across from me. "You're the ones who are spreading these rumors?"With an air of entitlement, Evonne threw in a casual remark, "And you've been doing a good job in this role, haven't you?"To hell with "doing a good job." I was not about to expose Evonne's true colors so easily, but I wasn't going
