Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 554: A Stir in Swallow City

Jeffrey Foster left decisively but dropped a big bomb in the country.

The explosion at the competitive arena caused a huge wave.

Such an important event, yet there was an explosion on-site, causing fatalities. The seriousness of the matter was self-evident.

Reporters swarmed the scene. Hearst Foster saw the location of the accident, frantically trying to stop anyone, hoping to suppress the matter. But with so many media members and spectators there, it was impossible to suppress.

Moreover, Jeffrey Foster did not give Hearst Foster any leeway. The exposure of the underground casino on the big screen caused a huge sensation. The police quickly intervened and took a group of people into custody for investigation.

Much evidence pointed to Hearst Foster. The Foster family became the target of public criticism overnight.

But the matter did not just involve the Foster family. Many high society members of Swallow City were implicated, including some famous foreign individuals.

The scope was wide, and the amount of money involved was enormous, which was rare.

Soon, a multi-page document was sent to the police station. Then the police discovered that all these funds had flowed into a little-known securities company. The shareholder of this company was Hearst Foster, the current head of the Foster family, leaving them no chance to rebut.

The money that entered the securities company was made into various accounts, then passed through several entertainment companies and laundered into various projects.

The most involved was the domestic company Jerry Entertainment, which was under the Piers’ second branch.

But the media did not see it that way, only associating it with the Piers.

Both the Foster family and the Piers were thrust into the eye of the storm.

The relevant departments issued strict orders to thoroughly investigate the matter.

For a while, the whole Swallow City was in a state of panic.

Luke Scout took the Foster family and the second branch of the Piers away overnight.

Although Hearst Foster was in his sixties, he was very well-maintained, but his face was extremely gloomy at this moment. He did not expect that the wolf cub he raised would bite him so harshly.

He didn’t even know when the company was transferred to his name.

But having experienced many storms, although his face was gloomy, he still maintained the demeanor of a family head. Mason Piers was much worse off.

"Officer, there must be a mistake. I am the legal representative of Jerry Entertainment, but I handed the company over to a professional manager. Those are all investments from investors. Even if the funds are illegal, it has nothing to do with me." Mason Piers invested in the entertainment company just to follow the trend and make money. He fundamentally looked down on it and never got involved in the operations.

Hearst Foster listened and looked at Mason Piers with a complicated expression but said nothing.

Mason Piers was dissatisfied, "What kind of look is that?"

Hearst Foster, too lazy to talk to his stupid brother, lowered his eyes and thought of countermeasures.

Following Mason Piers was Adam Piers, who nudged his father with his toe, "Can’t you see? We’ve been set up."

"Who dares to set us up?" Mason Piers glared.

Adam Piers was both angry and amused, "Who else? Of course, your dear brother. Have you forgotten that Jerry Entertainment was his idea, and he recommended the professional manager? Jerry Entertainment has been notorious these years. I asked you to manage it, but did you listen? Now it’s blown up!"

"Get out, your uncle wouldn’t set me up. This must be a frame-up." Mason Piers didn’t believe it.

Adam Piers looked at his naive father, who was also an obsessive defender of his brother, and shook his head helplessly, then took out his mobile phone to send a message to Brandon Piers, "Bro, let’s cooperate."

If it was really their third uncle’s doing, he would first use the second branch as scapegoats when something happened. His naive father believed in his brother, but he didn’t.

Compared with Oliver Piers, he thought his cousin Brandon Piers was more reliable.

...

Moon Lake Manor.

Brandon Piers did not see Adam Piers’ message.

Compared with those two families, the situation on Brandon Piers’ side wasn’t much better.

His presence at the explosion site, right at the casino exit, was soon exposed by the media.

Even though Kelvin Max used all his connections, he couldn’t stop it.

The impact was too significant. With so many people on the scene, he could block the media’s mouths, but not the public’s murmurs.

So, under such explosive scandals, a piece of gossip about high society shot to the top of the trending list.

In the video, Master Brandon was digging at the explosion site with his bare hands before the rescue team arrived, searching for the female corpse. His grief and pain were clear on his face, and his hands were bloodied. When the rubble fell again, he used his body to protect the corpse, disregarding his safety.

Everyone could feel Master Brandon’s sorrow through the screen. Viewers were moved to tears and felt heartbroken for him.

It turned out to be his overweight fiancée and the heart specialist Dean Foster from Gills City Sincere Hospital, who was also an illegitimate son of the implicated Foster family, who died at the explosion site.

Next, someone exposed that Abigail Green had been involved with Jeffrey Foster. There was even a video of Abigail and Jeffrey having an affair. In no time, the story of Master Brandon wearing a Green Hat was confirmed.

This contrasted sharply with his desperate attempt to dig out his fiancée’s corpse at the explosion site. The internet was filled with curses directed at Abigail Green and Jeffrey Foster.

Some even went as far as to say, "A whore and a dog, how fitting. They deserved to die and end up together."

Brandon Piers had been busy all night, but Jeffrey Foster and Abigail Green seemed to have vanished from the world without a trace. Even when he activated the ROES technology to track them, he found nothing.

This exhausted him to the extreme, yet he received a DNA comparison result from the police showing that the couple were indeed Abigail Green and Jeffrey Foster.

"Impossible," Brandon Piers denied without thinking.

"Master Brandon, I know you can’t accept it, but the facts are right in front of us. You need to face reality," Luke Scout advised, believing the police database information was infallible.

Brandon Piers was silent for a while. "I trust my judgment."

"You... Alright," Luke Scout wanted to persuade him more but knew it was useless and sighed, saying, "Alright."

After hanging up, Brandon Piers sat at his desk without moving for a long time until the phone rang. Kelvin Max reported the situation on the internet to him.

Brandon Piers was at the explosion site yesterday. Many media believed he was involved. This made public opinion very unfriendly toward him, but he didn’t care about these opinions now. However, he forgot that netizens loved to discuss the scandals behind high-society families more than the truth.

He could let the netizens insult him, but he couldn’t allow them to tarnish Abigail.

"Make a statement. Sue everyone who defames Abigail’s honor to the end," Brandon Piers rasped. After giving the order, his expression looked even more tired.

"Yes." Kelvin Max quickly left to fulfill the order.
