The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 955 No Evidence
“Jethro deserved it.” Brandon wasn’t surprised. Jethro looked totally crazed outside the Larson Group building yesterday.
However, Sean had called even before the day broke. How could things be that simple? Deep down, Brandon knew what was going on. “Has there been any reports about Jethro’s demonstration yesterday?”
Sean wanted to say something but had second thoughts and hesitated.
“This matter should have been very simple to deal with. We can pay them some money, and that, along with some serious warnings, should mean they won’t spread the news about Jethro. The only problem is that Jethro was shot on the street so many people saw it firsthand. I heard that many people in the media believe the Larson Group was to blame, because you ended the contract with Jethro’s factory maliciously, which eventually caused the protest and his death. There have been many articles written already, accusing the Larson Group of disregarding people’s lives.”
“Okay.” Brandon spoke with a dull voice. After pausing for some time, he continued, “I’m going over to the company now. You go home and rest. I’ll deal with it.” “I’m okay, Mr. Larson. I…”
Brandon interrupted him immediately.
“Have you seen the time, Sean? It’s so late. If you end up dying from tiredness, who’s going to run errands for me?” Brandon said in a deep voice.
Sean had made efforts to get the media reports as soon as possible. Brandon was well aware of this.
Noticing Brandon wasn’t on the bed, Janet sat up and looked around. She could make out Brandon’s figure in the dim light, changing his clothes.
“It’s so late. Where are you going?” Rubbing her eyes, she looked down at her phone. It was only 3 in the morning.
After putting his coat on, he bent down and kissed her cheek. “I have an impromptu meeting. You go back to sleep.”
Janet, being very tired, believed his excuse and went back to sleep. She awoke the next day.
When Janet saw the news, she was already at work in W Marks Studio. As she scrolled through the articles, she frowned.
Tasha, noticing Janet’s expression, asked cautiously, “Have you seen the news?”
The news about the incident at the Larson Group had spread like wildfire overnight.
Brandon was being described as a ruthless devil, while Jethro was portrayed as the desperate father whose wife had just had a baby.
“How did Jethro die so suddenly?” Not knowing that so much had happened while she was asleep, Janet was shocked. “The media wrote all those articles before they investigated what actually happened. Some even said that it was Brandon who k*il*led Jethro! What nonsense!” Tasha had never seen Janet so worked up. Janet had always been gentle and elegant, and never even spoke ill of their former colleague Dalores, who made her life very difficult at times.
“Don’t worry too much. Let’s just wait to hear the response from the Larson Group,” Tasha said, trying to comfort Janet.
But so far, the Larson Group had remained silent on the matter. There had already been many negative comments about the topic. Many online users who were concerned about the injustice had already gone to the Larson Group’s website and had begun posting negative comments there.
When Janet attempted to explain the situation to them, they immediately turned against her.
The Internet was a place anyone could vent their feelings. They spoke without thinking first, and their comments soon turn vicious and personal.
Janet began angrily reporting all of the abusive comments. Then she sat back and directed her anger back at herself.
She almost knocked over the coffee on the table, so Tasha quickly put the cups away and gently reminded her, “Don’t worry. Brandon will definitely fightback. The media likes to write all kinds of nonsense. This story is outrageous. Since Jethro is dead, there is no evidence now.”
Sighing, Janet wondered how the media could be so unscrupulous. How could they blame Brandon for Jethro’s death?
“Jethro might be dead, but his wife, Lydia, is still alive!” Janet had suddenly remembered this.
Being Jethro’s wife, Lydia’s words had more persuasive power than anyone else’s. If Lydia made an announcement, there would definitely be someone out there willing to believe it.
Lydia would probably still be at the hospital now.
