The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 531 Fate Was Kind To Us

As for Marvin's sudden change in his testimony, although he was already in prison, a large portion of the illegal assets was still nowhere to be found. They were still unable to discover where the missing funds had been transferred to.

However, via his stealthy investigations, Cayden had managed to discover that Marvin was keeping a mistress and an illegitimate child.

Before the crime took place, Marvin had secretly brought the mother and child to Sumanthova. He had also transferred a large number of assets and listed them under his illegitimate child's name.

Cayden used them to threaten him. If Marvin refused to comply, not only would he lose his assets, but he would also put the mother and son in danger.

Intimidated and despite harboring a deep hatred in his heart, Marvin chose to give in to Cayden's demands in the end.

Cayden was exceedingly cautious and dared not make a single mistake as the pieces fell into place.

This was because he would be unable to extricate himself if there happened to be a loophole in any of the links.

Avery admired Cayden's overly calculative mind as she listened to his short and concise explanation.

Ten years ago, he had already been so sophisticated and shrewd as he schemed against the adults. Compared to him, she had merely been a cowardly girl with low self-esteem. She could not compare to him at all.

Unable to help herself, Avery said, “Ten years ago, I only knew how to bury myself in my studies. I was also fairly clueless and dared not interact with others much. You were already learning the ropes in business with the others by then. You went home to study business when you vanished from the town's high school all of a sudden. It's no wonder... Did you know? I went to the places where you'd hang out every day after you left. The sports field where you use to play basketball, the cafeteria, and your classroom. I looked forward to seeing you appear every time I went to those places. However, I was alone from the beginning until the end. I thought we'd never meet again in this lifetime, but fate was kind to us in the end. We managed to meet and fall in love again.”

“Love will find a way,” Cayden murmured as he hugged Avery tightly and stroked her soft skin.
