The Secret Groom of My Wedding Night のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

The following evening, Lu Mansion felt unusually peaceful, and although the quiet should have been comforting, Jason found himself strangely unsettled as he stepped through the front entrance carrying his briefcase. The day had been exhausting. Meetings had stretched longer than expected, executives had demanded answers he didn't yet possess, and the growing pressure from shareholders seemed to increase with every passing hour. Yet none of those things occupied his thoughts. Instead, his mind kept returning to the file Jamiah had given him. He hadn't intended to bring it home. In fact, he had specifically planned to leave it in his office. Somehow, however, it had ended up inside his briefcase anyway. The realization annoyed him. More importantly, it worried him. Because it suggested that the contents of that file were affecting him far more than he wanted to admit. As he entered the dining room, he found Mia arranging plates on the table. A simple meal had already been p

The atmosphere inside Lu Group had become increasingly tense ever since the recent vote against Jason's leadership, and although the company continued to operate normally on the surface, an undercurrent of distrust had begun spreading through every department.Employees who once worked comfortably alongside one another now watched their colleagues with caution, while conversations that had previously taken place openly were suddenly conducted behind closed doors or in lowered voices.Trust was becoming a luxury that few people could afford, and suspicion was quickly becoming the company's new normal.As President of Lu Group, Jason found himself carrying the weight of every emerging crisis. Between hostile shareholders, nervous investors, and ongoing internal investigations, he barely had time to breathe, let alone rest.Although he rarely complained, the pressure was beginning to show.Dark circles had appeared beneath his eyes, and his temper had become noticeably shorter whenever n

The rumors spread through Lu Group far more quickly than the truth ever could, and before the sun had fully risen the following morning, nearly every employee in the company had already heard about Mia Laurent's alleged involvement in the stolen acquisition proposal. Although the investigation had not been completed and no formal conclusion had been reached, many people had already made up their minds because speculation was always more exciting than facts. Within a single day, Mia's name became the center of countless conversations throughout the company. Employees whispered about her in elevators while pretending not to notice when she walked past. Department managers exchanged knowing glances during meetings, and administrative staff lowered their voices whenever her name entered the conversation. Some believed she had stolen the document to help an outside competitor, while others suspected that she had gained access to confidential company information because of her marriage

Jamiah had always understood something that most people overlooked: timing was often more important than strategy. While others focused on creating opportunities, she preferred waiting patiently until opportunities created themselves, and then she stepped in at exactly the right moment. Jason was vulnerable now. Not because he was weak. Not because he lacked intelligence. But because pressure had begun attacking him from every direction at once. The investigation involving Mia continued to create tension within Lu Group, while Second Uncle Lu's relentless political maneuvering forced him to remain constantly on guard. At the same time, shareholders demanded answers, investors demanded stability, and executives demanded leadership. Even someone as disciplined as Jason Lu had limits. Jamiah knew that and she intended to use it. The opportunity arrived the following afternoon during an industry luncheon attended by several major business leaders. The event itself was unremarkable.

Mia could not stop thinking about the anonymous message. Although several days had already passed since she received it, the contents continued replaying inside her mind whenever she found herself alone. Jamiah Gu. Lu Wenhai. The two names seemed permanently engraved in her thoughts. Whenever she remembered them, countless incidents from the past several months suddenly appeared in a different light, and situations that had once seemed unrelated now appeared connected by invisible threads. If the message was true, then none of what she had endured had been accidental. The accusations. The scandals. The stolen documents. The public humiliation. Every painful experience might have been carefully orchestrated. Someone had deliberately framed her. Someone wanted her removed from the Lu family. And for the first time, Mia believed she was beginning to understand why. Rather than confronting anyone directly, she decided to remain silent. The situation was too dangerous for assu
