Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
Shawn's eyebrows jumped, clearly not pleased. Indeed, Jasson continued, "Later, I had to bring out my other 'hobby.' After they found out about my hobby, they decided to keep the child as a form of compensation. Of course, by 'keeping the child,' I mean letting Lilith give up custody of the child. In return, they will give her a sum of money that she won't be able to spend in several lifetimes." "Did Miss Lilith agree?" Luke was more anxious than Shawn. "It is said that after the call to Lilith, she cursed them thoroughly." When Jasson reached this point, he couldn't help but laugh. "That little chili pepper has quite a fiery temper." "What's your other hobby?" Shawn was obviously more concerned about this. Sure enough, as soon as this question was asked, Jasson shifted his gaze nervously. "I just told them that my hobby is men..." Shawn: "..." "I said, I love you. For many years, wandering with different women was just because I couldn't have you and indulged in self-destruction." An apple instantly flew towards his head, and Jasson was startled, jumping up from his seat. "Hey hey hey, let's make it clear first. I do love you, but my love is a deep brotherly love, without any other emotions. I still like girls. For heaven's sake, I love girls. Girls are so good, fragrant and soft. Why would I want a guy? Yuck!" "Shawn, don't look at me like that. What can I do?!" "Mr. Tate, don't be angry." Luke walked behind Jasson and suggested, "If you want to vent, I can hold him for you, and you can throw a few punches." Saying this, he grabbed Jasson. "Mr. Tate, come on, hit him." "Luke! You wait for me!" Jasson was restrained, unable to move, and could only glare at him with resentment. However, the feared fists did not come down. Instead, Shawn signaled Luke to let him go. Jasson, relieved, sat back in his seat. "I'm just being prepared. When I really find true love someday, and I want to be with her, the family will find it easier to accept her if I've already made some arrangements."Shawn didn't comment on his strange behavior, as long as he didn't see any issues with it. His gaze darkened, and he asked Jasson, "Introduce me to a reliable psychologist." Jasson was surprised and subconsciously asked, "Have you finally realized that you have a problem in your mind?" Shawn's eyes were deep, about to speak, but Jasson continued, "No, back then, after all those things, you didn't collapse, didn't see a psychologist. Why look for one now? Is it because of Ivy?" Shawn nodded slowly. "True, with so many things happening recently, and she being a surgeon, she does need psychological counseling." Jasson already had a candidate in mind. "I'll contact her immediately and ask her to come here from England to stay for a while. Luke, remember to inform the team in England to guard Catherine closely, don't let her take advantage of any loopholes. Ivy is in a special period now, and if she takes advantage of a situation like last time, the consequences would be unimaginable." Luke nodded to show that he understood. Jasson didn't want to stay any longer and quickly left to make arrangements. On the other hand, the father and daughter from the Potts family were released on bail by the Alter Group. Today was the weekend, and the scandal had been fermenting in the market all day. When the stock market opened on Monday, who knew how the Alter Group's stock would fare. With Kevin stripped of power, Bob Alter could only struggle to hold the fort and try to turn the tide before tomorrow. However, after various considerations by the PR team, in the end, they felt that the most secure way was to have Director Potts surrender himself and admit to all the charges. Tanya returned home, and the PR head suggested to Bob Alter , "This is a statement for Director Potts to surrender. If you have no objections, we'll go buy some major media outlets to help build momentum and whitewash the Alter Group." Bob Alter looked at the list of media outlets, originally belonging to the Alter Group. He sighed deeply, "Who could have imagined that one day I, Bob Alter , would have to spend money to whitewash news from my own media companies." After saying this, he coughed heavily, showing signs of both mental and physical exhaustion under this high-pressure situation. "Chairman, there will be opportunities," the PR head consoled.Tanya looked at her father, then her father walked to Bob Alter and said, "I'll surrender now, and get you all cleared." "In this statement, it says that you secretly took the Alter family's car and deceived the victim's wife--Mrs. Sullen, making her follow you in the dark. When the time comes, we'll cooperate with each other, and the Alter Group can be reluctantly removed." "Okay," Director Potts agreed without hesitation. "I'll go to the police station now." He turned and rushed out of the hallway. Tanya instinctively reached out to stop her father, but always withdrew her hand at times like this. Things had come to this point, and in order to save her father, she had to secure her own future of wealth, status, and respect. At least, she could compensate him in the future. Thinking this, Tanya stood in place, watching Director Potts close the door and leave. "Tanya, come here," Bob Alter waved at her. Tanya hesitated and walked to his side, choked up, "Dad, I'm sorry." Bob Alter coughed lightly, "No need to apologize." Bob Alter comforted her, "Now that things have come to this, don't regret it. I understand. You lack experience after all, but it will be better in the future. I will arrange a position for you in the Alter Group as soon as possible. You will temporarily take on the role of the CEO." "But Dad, I..." She had no management experience at all. "It's okay. I'll teach you everything, step by step." The PR head, upon hearing this, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, instantly understanding the chairman's intention to give such an important position to someone else. Because in the morning, he had presented a financial report with significant loopholes to the chairman, asking him whom he needed to find as a scapegoat. Unexpectedly, the chairman had found one so quickly. The chairman was truly wise. ***
