Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 262

Chapter 262:

Eileen had anticipated that Bryan might merely prevent the Warren family from silencing journalists, allowing the story about Kian to be disclosed. To her astonishment, the disclosure didn’t happen through traditional media outlets but unfolded in a strikingly direct manner.

The Warren family owned numerous shopping malls and hotels located in bustling cities. On these properties, massive screens—each spanning fifty to sixty square meters—continuously scrolled images of Kian and Megan in bed, with captions explicitly stating, “The man is the owner of the mall, and the woman is his cousin!”

The revelation required no introduction for people from high society, and it was easy for ordinary people to recognize Kian. Onlookers enjoyed the spectacle, and within just a few minutes, many had used their phones to take pictures of the screen and post them on their social media accounts. When the Warren family realized their systems were hacked and couldn’t halt the display, they urgently cut the power to the buildings. This shutdown resulted in substantial business disruptions.

However, the screens, having been tampered with, were powered elsewhere. They remained operational. Faced with no alternatives, Kian instructed that the screens be physically destroyed. Despite the immediate financial hit from the damage, this was minor compared to the plummeting stock value of the Warren Group’s companies.

Shareholders rushed to the company, demanding an explanation, and it took the entire security team to prevent them from storming Kian’s office. Seated in his office chair, Kian looked both anxious and somber, his usually charming eyes now cold.

Benjamin entered the office, standing before the desk, and reported, “Mr. Warren, the shareholders aren’t leaving. They’ve convened in the conference room and demand an explanation.”

“Explanation?” Kian snapped as he abruptly stood, seizing a document from the desk and hurling it at Benjamin. “If I tell you I didn’t touch Megan, would you believe me?” Benjamin, maintaining his composure, let the document strike his forehead before it fluttered to the floor.

Kian’s frustration only grew at the sight. He paced around the desk, asking, “Why are Bryan and Eileen still together? Didn’t you sleep with her? How could Bryan possibly go this far for her?”

Overwhelmed by emotion, Benjamin steadied himself and replied calmly, “Because he loves Eileen too much, Mr. Warren. Why are you so obsessed with this matter? Miss Warren is already in a bad situation. Do you think disrupting Eileen and Bryan’s relationship will make Bryan marry Miss Warren?” Unbeknownst to Benjamin, Kian had actually done this for Zola.

Kian harbored deep feelings for Zola, but he had to keep them hidden. He couldn’t let people know that he and Zola were in love with each other; otherwise, it wouldn’t look good for Zola, who had been raised by the Dawson family to be Hwan’s wife. But he didn’t know Zola’s hidden intentions. All his feelings for her were just foolishness.

“Do I need your advice on what to do? Like Eileen? I’ll grant your wish and expose your overnight stay with Eileen at the hotel!” Kian declared, planning to reveal the secret that Eileen and Benjamin had spent a night together at a hotel before. Such exposure would undoubtedly tarnish Bryan’s reputation.

The dilemma was that Bryan had to choose to marry Eileen amidst public ridicule or break up under the pressure; both scenarios promised significant challenges. Benjamin’s expression frowned. Revealing the overnight stay would certainly cast doubts on Eileen’s innocence. No one else would trust her as Bryan did.
