Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0653

I didn't know all the details about what had happened over the past couple of days, so I persuaded Nicholas to explain while we were in the car.

Nicholas said the Fisher Corporation had been eerily quiet, with everyone going about their business as usual. Despite the major scandal surrounding The Secret, there wasn't even much news coverage everything had been suppressed. "How powerful is the Fisher family's backing? The Secret caused such a huge stir, yet there's no mention of Nelson being taken in for investigation."

Thinking about the people who had sacrificed themselves for me, my eyes reddened. How much must the righteous pay to ensure the wicked were brought to justice?

Nicholas' calm gaze turned to the window. "If the Fisher Corporation were that easy to topple, it wouldn't do justice to Nelson's reputation after all these years of hard work."

He continued in a steady tone, "Nelson is very clever. Officially, the owner of The Secret is not him. The so-called boss has already been taken in by the police, while he sits back in his office watching the show."

My heart sank.

So that's how it was. Even if everyone in the world knew Nelson was the real owner of The Secret, it didn't really matter. What mattered was whose name was on the official documents.

My expression grew heavy. Seeing this, Nicholas tried to comfort me. "This hasn't come without repercussions for Nelson. At the very least, a few companies that were once close to the Fisher family are now keeping their distance. "Some of his projects are currently stalled. Right now, he can only wait for the storm to pass."

I paused for a moment. "Then don't let the storm pass."

"Alright."
