Chapter 243
At that moment, Dustin picked up the phone. “Hello? Yes, of course; that’s fine.”
Dustin hung up and looked at the angry parents, smiling, “The relevant national departments have already sent an investigation team. You can take your complaints to them.”
Seeing Dustin’s calm demeanor, with not the slightest trace of guilt, the parents furrowed their brows, feeling that this situation was becoming difficult. They felt making extra money was not as easy as they thought.
“Julian, I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to ask me out. That’s quite rare.” Edward sat down in front of Julian, and when he was in a good mood, he looked especially smug.
As for why Julian reached out to him at this time, he didn’t connect it to Rosalie.
After all, in Edward’s eyes, Rosalie was already the ex–wife that Julian had rejected. A man as proud as him would never step in to defend her at this point.
Julian looked at Edward with a slightly cold gaze and said, “Mr. Graham, you seem pretty pleased with yourself. Did something good happen?” J
Julian’s tone showed no hint of joy or anger, and Edward didn’t sense anything unusual. Hearing Julian’s question, his smile widened even more. “It’s something to be happy about.”
Edward didn’t hide the smugness in his eyes. When he saw Julian’s slight chuckle, he continued, “Actually, I have something to show you, Mr. Graham. It should add to your good mood.”
“Something for me?” Edward quickly wiped the smug smile off his face when he saw Julian hand him a document. He was a little puzzled but still reached out to take it.
“Take a look.” Julian casually tilted his chin and, with a cold look in his eyes, the temperature seemed to drop slightly.
A sense of unease stirred in Edward’s chest, especially since he also noticed the cold expression on Julian’s face.
His heart sank. He braced himself and opened the file Julian handed him. When he saw what was inside, his expression changed immediately.
“You’re investigating me?” Edward’s face darkened as he threw the file onto the table.
Julian calmly picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and casually tapped the file on the table with his finger, saying, “If you hadn’t done something so shameless, do you think I’d waste my time investigating you?”
A cold light flashed in Edward’s eyes, and he scoffed lightly, saying, “Mr. Galloway, what is this? Are you standing up for Rosalie? Don’t forget, she’s already divorced you. What position do you have to defend her?”
Edward never expected that Julian would specifically approach him because of Rosalie.
The document Julian handed him contained evidence of Edward instigating parents to stir up trouble, bribing marketing accounts to stir up a narrative, and using hired trolls to slander Rosalie.
Edward thought, ‘If this evidence were to be made public, how would people in the Hasmond circle react when they found out that I am secretly framing my own daughter?
All along, he had felt that the true aristocrats looked down on him. Even if he was talented, they still saw him as nothing more than Talley family’s live–in son–in–law and didn’t respect him.
Once they learned that he had schemed to harm his own daughter, it would be like admitting he had always wanted to seize Talley family’s wealth. Those true aristocrats would only look down on him even more.
