Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 128

When the incident first came to light, it was quickly overshadowed by the strong influence of the Davis family, causing little commotion. However, many years have passed, it was raised again.

As Matthew reflected on the recent loss of contracts from their business partners, his suspicions grew stronger. ‘What an incredible coincidence. The Davis family is facing a major setback, and at the same time, the post of my plagiarism has emerged.’

He waved his assistant out of the room, feeling utterly frustrated. “Please step outside.”

“Yes, Mr. Davis.”

Once Barry left, Matthew turned to Perrin, his brow creased with worry. “Who do you think is behind this attack on the Davis family?”

Perrin said, “I asked a friend to look into it, and if the information is correct, it seems that the person behind is Mr. Hartley.”

Matthew’s eyes widened at Perrin’s words. ‘When did we ever offend him? My daughter is close friends with Zane; given that connection, Zane would have no reason to act against the Davis family. What is really going on?‘

His mind spun in chaos; the troubles facing the Davis family could very well lead to their downfall. Generations of hard work had built their legacy, and now it seemed it was all on the verge of collapse because of him.

Perrin said, “Mr. Davis, you need to act quickly to establish a good relationship with Mr. Hartley and ask for his leniency. Otherwise, with his power, he could easily bring down the Davis family, and no one could stop him.”

This made sense, but Matthew was at a loss as to why Zane would want to harm the Davis family. Zane’s friendship with his daughter should protect the Davis family, yet the current events suggested otherwise, with no warning signs.

After a moment of silence, Matthew finally asked, “You really believe that person is Mr. Hartley?”

“Mr. Davis, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. You must make a decision fast.”

“I will contact Mr. Hartley and resolve this issue quickly.”

Perrin nodded. “That’s good, but Mr. Hartley isn’t the kind of person you can meet on a whim; it might not be as easy as you think.”

“I understand.” Matthew added, “Please get the trending news taken down swiftly. Manage the necessary connections; I trust you know what to do.”
