Infuriated and clueless, Jordan, CEO of starlight was pacing in his office. He just wanted to be off the radar of the Matthews family.


    What if Alvin was having a legal battle with his family? Alvin was still Matthews. Which family doesn''t haveplications? They might fight, but they could also be one. Jordan didn''t want to be a scapegoat between all these.


    ire was brainstorming to find the solution to the trouble. She had repeatedly tried to make J understand thating clean was the best and only choice they had. J didn''t ept her suggestion.


    However, ire was cent percent sure J wasn''t cooperating with Wilson or his absurd n. "Mr. Wilson must have fooled J too." With a hint of worry, she muttered in Jordan''s office room.


    Jordan scowled at ire for speaking for J. "I''m giving you the sry. Who the duck are you working for?" He didn''t care what was going to happen with J''s career. All he cared about was protecting himself and thepany.


    For the man who bought twenty percent of the Matthews Industries, Starlight was like a window shopping toy. Jordan wasn''t going to lose thepany to Matthews Industries or Skrk.


    ire was startled by hearing Jordan. It was the first time she saw their calm and collected CEO, enraged and swearing at people. She could understand how Jordan was feeling after the betrayal.


    J was a good friend for many years but ire can''t follow J and give up on her career. She could only pity J who didn''t listen to her.


    ire started considering if Jordan was going to drop J from thepany but Wilson could use the same audio to threaten Jordan. Simrly, they couldn''t threaten Wilson.


    Should she try to convince J?


    Will J speak against her husband?


    ire scoffed to herself. J didn''t leave her husband when he lost his productionpany and became a verbally abusive husband and an alcohol addict. J drained her whole life savings to pay her husband''s millions of debt and buried the news of her husband.


    J had stopped living her life and showing the world that she had a perfect life. Why would she reveal her husband''s evil schemes?


    If J supports her husband, would J go down with her husband?


    But the chances of J going against her husband were nearly impossible. She would rather show the world as evil and pretend to have a perfect life.


    ire felt her head throb. She pressed her forehead and stopped thinking of gaining J''s support or proving Wilson wrong. She stood up and suggested to Jordan, "CEO Jordan, we have three choices. Go to the cops, or Meet Alvin Matthews or let''s pretend like we know nothing."


    Hiding the truth and lying would onlyplicate things. Meeting Alvin wasn''t easy. So going to the cops and revealing everything seemed better for ire. ire hoped Jordan could understand that.


    However, Jordan wasn''t in a state to trust somebody or believe in anything good. He countered, "What if that bastard uses the audio and mes everything on us?" After all, it was his farmhouse.


    ire could see the fear in Jordan. She wouldn''t lose anything so she was brave to suggest it. However, Jordan would lose the most in the situation if Wilson seeds in pushing me.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After a pause, she asked with all due respect for his opinion and choice, "What do you suggest, CEO Jordan?"


    The press conference was arranged to announce J''s connection with Alvin with a lie that J was under the weather after hearing about her grandson''s attempt to kidnap.


    Now that the news of Alvin stalking J was the hot news of the morning, it was clear Wilson''s n was different all along. So they need to cancel the press conference if they are going against Wilson.


    Jordan was smart enough to discern that Wilson asked for the press conference to speak against Alvin. It was never about revtion. If he tried to stop the press conference, wouldn''t Wilson turn against him instead of Alvin?


    Jordan''s eyes widened. Fighting back was a bad idea. He couldn''t take the risk. So he chose to be passive, "Let''sy down. We-we will pretend like we have no idea." There was uncertainty in his decision so he tried to convince himself.


    If somebody asks about a farmhouse, he could just say, he lent the keys to the farmhouse to rx on holidays. Alvin wouldn''t doubt him, would he?


    He wasn''t going against Wilson. So he won''t be angering Wilson so his audio will be safe, won''t it?


    ire looked at Jordan for a moment and sighed. She epted his decision and hoped J won''t pull everyone down with her. She gave a subtle nod and added, "I will see how I could control the damage. I suggest we hold back publishing any statements from thepany." She was much moreposed.


    Jordan approved her suggestion and waved his hand to send her. Every minute was painstakingly long for him with the fear of getting implicated in Wilson''s game.


    ....


    ire clenched her teeth looking at the crowd in front of thepany. They had invited only ten reporters who were working directly with thepany. Due to the new trending search, there weren''t just reporters from all mediapanies, J''s fans and random people were also there. She wouldn''t be surprised if Wilson has a hand in gathering the crowd.


    Swallowing her pride, she dialed Wilson''s second time. As she expected, Wilson rejected the call. "Assh013."


    A man strode to ire hurriedly and asked, watching the crowd downstairs, "Manager ire, should we arrange the press conference in the main auditorium?"


    They won''t be able to fit even half of the reporters in a general hall. There will be uncontroblemotion if they allow only a few reporters so they had no choice but to y along Wilson, "We should." She sighed and forced a smile on her face turning to the man, "Thank you."


    Suddenly there was an uproar from downstairs. ire spotted J''s Range Rover between the crowd. She couldn''t believe Wilson wasing through the main entrance instead of going straight to the parking lot.


    Starlight security had to reach the car to get Wilson out of the car and get him inside the walls. She sneered watching Wilson''s effort and his acting of a responsible husband to get maximum public attention.


    Watching Wilson''s fakeness, rie realized how money makes and breaks people. The man who admired his wife dearly was jealous of his wife for her sess. The woman who was proud of her husband couldn''t trust him anymore.
