Facade of Love

Chapter 140 Treating to Dinner

The financial turmoil at Scott Corporation eased somewhat after Caleb and Benett were arrested. Maxwell was a talented individual with his own ideas on management and corporate governance

In the following month, he almost resolved many major issues on the surface of Scott Corporation, and several shareholders who originally planned to withdraw their investments no longer caused

trouble at the company.

The internal stability of the company also significantly improved.

As for Alex, as expected with several cases piled up against him, he was set to spend the rest of his life in prison. Regarding Moore, Officer Jackson informed me that Alex’s testimony alone was insufficient for her conviction. They could only keep a record of her case; the police could not do much more at

that moment.

I had anticipated such an outcome. The police also issued a closure notice for the incident that happened five years ago.

As for Idris and me, perhaps because Moore was being monitored by the police or for some other reasons, he did not appear before me in the following days.

I was waiting for him to sign the divorce agreement so I could collect the divorce certificate from the town hall, formally ending our marital ties.

However, since he never showed up and I was busy working with Maxwell on expanding new projects for Scott Corporation, I did not have the energy to proactively seek him out.

Time flew by in a rush.
