You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 531 - チャプター 540

“Mr. Lincoln, the PR department is already working on it, but the situation has blown up too fast. Even if we try to suppress it, it’ll take at least two or three days before it dies down. We still haven’t been able to trace where the leak came from.”Eric’s expression darkened instantly. His tone was ice-cold. “Useless. I pay them a fortune every year, and they can’t even handle a trending topic? Tell the head of PR that if this isn’t contained by tomorrow morning, they can clear out their desk.”It was right around rush hour, and with everyone scrolling through their phones, the scandal spread like wildfire. The Lincoln Corporation’s PR team was already scrambling to contain the damage, but the reach was far beyond what they could control.The assistant knew all of this, but he didn’t dare say another word. “Understood, Mr. Lincoln. I’ll notify them immediately.”Moments later, Eric’s phone rang. David’s furious voice came through the receiver. “Eric, what the hell is going on? H

Eric’s lips curved into a faint, mocking smile. “Officer Watson, I’m not sure what you mean. Everything online is nothing but rumors. I’ve never done anything illegal, and I have nothing to hide.”His calm expression and the hint of innocence in his tone made it seem as if he had been wrongfully accused.Officer Watson glanced at his colleague. “Harvey, show Mr. Lincoln the evidence.”Harvey, the younger officer, opened a folder and pushed it across the table. Eric leaned in to read it. Within seconds, his face hardened, and tension rippled through his shoulders.“Mr. Lincoln,” Watson said evenly, “would you like to answer our questions properly now?”Later, outside the interrogation room, Eric’s attorney immediately called David.“Mr. Lincoln, the situation is serious. We can’t get Eric released on bail, and…” He hesitated. “There’s a real possibility he could be sentenced.”He had seen the evidence himself. It was damning enough to put Eric away for life, and the Lincoln Corpo

“Alright… okay,” the housekeeper stammered.As soon as she left, Christine turned to David, panic flashing in her eyes.“David, what do we do? Why would the police suddenly show up?”“I don’t know,” he said grimly. “I’ll go and find out. If I don’t come back tonight, move the company funds out immediately.”Christine’s face went pale, her voice trembling. “Alright… I understand.”David quickly gave her a few more instructions, including the bank accounts and the safe’s password, before leaving.She watched his figure disappear down the hall, her vision blurring as tears filled her eyes. Her thoughts were in complete disarray.For years, she had lived comfortably as Mrs. Lincoln, spending her days shopping, dining, and traveling while David and Eric handled everything else. Now both men had been taken to the station, and she had no idea how to hold the family together.Not long after David left, she hurriedly called her brother.Bob Cook arrived soon after.When he saw Christi

Even if Bob didn’t want to help, Eric was still his nephew. David couldn’t believe he would just stand by and do nothing.Bob’s gaze softened with something like pity. “You were my brother-in-law, and Eric is my nephew. I never wanted it to come to this. But I’m expanding Cook Corporation into Halston, and to do that, I have to make sacrifices. Besides, you and Eric brought this on yourselves.”He had warned Christine years ago not to marry David. David was bold to the point of recklessness. As long as there was money to be made, he would cross any line, even if it meant stepping into the shadows of illegality. In time, both he and Eric sank deeper into crime.At first, Bob had planned to pull Eric out of trouble. But when he discovered that Eric had killed an entire family who refused to leave their land for one of his projects, Bob gave up the idea completely.Father and son were cut from the same cloth. They were ruthless, calculating, and utterly without conscience.It was bet

Hunter looked uneasy. “Uncle William, do you really have to do this? If Liz finds out the truth by accident, she’ll be furious.”“When my legs fully recover, I’ll go see her myself. It’s just a few months.”Hunter sighed. “Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. Lying to Liz like this will only hurt your relationship. You think keeping it from her is for the best, but that’s just you deciding for her. You never even asked if she’d be willing to stay by your side during rehab.”Just imagining Liz finding out William had woken up but still lied to her made Hunter think William was going too far.“I know what I’m doing,” William said calmly.*The moment Liz reached the hospital entrance, her phone rang. It was Hunter.“Liz, there’s something I need to tell you…”He sounded hesitant, his voice a little guilty. After all, he had helped William deceive her too. Once she learned the truth, she probably wouldn’t forgive either of them easily.“What is it?” she asked.“Well… you know
