Chapter: 562

The company atmosphere remained one of harmony, ambition, and diligence.

Such pretending made Joshua let his guard down.

He assumed Alicia had moved past the kidnapping incident.

However, at the press conference, during his moment of triumph and arrogance, Jeffery made a dramatic entrance.

In front of the gathered media, Jeffery exposed Joshua's crimes and presented a legal notice.

Suddenly, the mood at the event changed drastically. Those who had been praising Joshua now crowded around, buzzing with gossip and questions about the revelations.

The camera flashes made Joshua's features appear almost unrecognizable.

He tried to recover his deteriorating public image, directing security to restore order.

Then, with a grim look, he told Jeffery, "I'll speak with Caden after the press conference. Waiting a little longer won't kill you!"

Jeffery remained calm and composed. "The next steps aren't for you to decide, Mr. Yates. Mr. Ward would like to see you now. Please, this way."

In frustration, Joshua grabbed Jeffery by the collar.

“Do you realize how much I've invested in today? Do you know how much I've given up? You've ruined everything!"

As Joshua raised his voice, the cameras drew closer.

Jeffery maintained his composure without reacting.

He simply said, "Mr. Yates, try to preserve some dignity."

In today's digital age, bystanders always craved drama.

The day's events were bound to go viral. If Joshua continued to cause a scene, his offensive actions would stain the Yates family's name for years.

Joshua held his reputation in the highest regard.

He kept pushing down his anger to calm himself.

Then he left to meet with Caden.

In the car, he mentally braced himself for the confrontation.

He realized that his earlier thoughts were just foolish hopes. Caden wouldn't simply let him go. Moreover, Caden was determined to completely overturn his world, destroying it so thoroughly that a comeback would be impossible.

Joshua laughed bitterly through his anger.

He asked Jeffery, "What does Caden plan to do? Send me to jail?"

Jeffery responded, “That will depend on the court's decision."

Joshua sneered, "With the backing of my family and the Green family, it'll be quite the challenge for him to lock me up. Caden is truly remarkable. I'm his own brother, and he's actually ready to cut ties with me over a woman."

Jeffery gave him a look.

“Enjoy your smiles before you see Mr. Ward."

Joshua wouldn't be able to maintain his grin once they reached their destination.

Joshua didn't believe his threat.
