Chapter 582
Meanwhile, in Ridgehaven Town, the village chief’s crimes—illegal gold mining, collusion with the county chief, bribery of his superiors, and intimidation of his subordinates—had been confirmed.
Of his three sons, Santiago and Salvatore had also exploited their positions to commit all sorts of misdeeds, and now the three of them would be spending at least a decade behind bars, if not more.
Samuel, the village chief’s third son, whom everyone thought was the most useless, was the only one who managed to dodge the bullet. But whether that was a good thing for him was another story.
Samuel had lost his manhood, and the medical expenses were a headache. The village chief’s wife couldn’t stand the villagers‘ whispers and criticism. And with Samuel, their only son left, being completely good-for-nothing, she simply disappeared with the demolition compensation.
After the Ridgehaven Town project manager got back, he reviewed everything that had happened lately. After some discussion, the project was assigned to Bree Technology.
As soon as Aubree got the news, she immediately booked a flight back to Rithol City, pushing her team to come up with the best plan as soon as possible so that the project could be kicked off without delay.
While Aubree was riding high, Bryan, who had returned a step ahead of her, was really having a rough time. Not only had he failed to secure the project, but he’d also lost a team member along the way.
Ronald had given him an earful.
At least the project hadn’t gone to Carmen; otherwise, the shareholders would’ve been raising hell.
But aside from the whole Ridgehaven Town project, what really blindsided Bryan was that Trevor was stirring up drama again.
“Mr. Bryan Wilson, we really can’t control Mr. Trevor Wilson anymore,” the new agent assigned to Trevor complained.
After Bryan left Rithol City, he told the agent to keep a close eye on Trevor, have him use this downtime to work on himself, and once things cooled off, start making some appearances in the media. When the buzz died down, they’d get ready for his comeback.
Everyone knew the drill, but if Trevor just wouldn’t cooperate, there was nothing the agent could do about it.
“As soon as you left Rithol City, Mr. Trevor Wilson holed up in a manor on the outskirts. He refuses to see anyone. The housekeeper who looks after him says he’s been drinking day and night, living in a haze,” the agent said.
Bryan immediately frowned. He didn’t believe Trevor would be completely devastated just because he got played by Aubree once.
That simply wasn’t Trevor’s nature.
“Did you notice anything strange going on with him before or after that?” Bryan asked.
While Bryan was away from Rithol City, the agent had been trying to get to the bottom of things and managed to dig up a clue.
“Yes, I did. When Mr. Trevor Wilson moved into the manor, he apparently got a package from the police department,” the agent replied.
“But as you know, Mr. Bryan Wilson, I’m just an agent, and there’s only so much I can do. Once the police are involved, I’m out of my depth. I have no idea what was in that package.”
Bryan immediately made a call to the Wilson family’s mansion. After confirming with the butler that it was true, he asked the butler to find out what was in the package Trevor had received.
They posted Wifi.
Bryan found out what Trevor had was in the cedar last night and was possibly now just fearing that was enough to make Bryan faint.
