Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 756 - 736: If Something Happens to Her, You’re All Doomed (Part One)
Huo Zhenyang didn’t deny it, "Yes."
Boris, consumed by rage, exclaimed, "You’re still protecting that woman to this very moment? What about my daughter? Did she just die in vain?"
As he spoke, spittle flew from his mouth.
George, the lawyer, and the servants of the Huo Family all turned purple-faced, daring not even to breathe.
No one had ever dared to treat the Boss with such an attitude—
The Boss was probably about to get angry.
Even Boris’s breath caught for an instant, realizing he had been too agitated.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Huo Zhenyang raised his slender finger, lazily wiped off the spit from his temple, and looked at Boris coldly with deep-set eyes,
"Xiaolei wasn’t killed by her. If Uncle wants to avenge his daughter, he should be looking for the real murderer."
George secretly took a deep breath. Had it been the usual Boss, there would be no such patience, and he would have erupted in fury by now.
For the sake of the young mistress, the Boss was forcefully suppressing his anger.
Boris didn’t believe a word, scoffing, "I’ve heard what your lawyer said, that woman claimed someone had knocked her out, and when she woke up, she found that LO had been killed, right? You believe such a fairy tale, fit for fooling a three-year-old! Has your soul been bewitched away by this Chinese woman? Fine, the real murderer, you say? Where’s the person? Where’s the evidence? Find them for me! There’s no so-called real murderer; the killer is none other than your beloved sweetheart! It was her, she killed my LO—"
With that, he began to weep bitterly.
Huo Zhenyang remained silent.
Boris continued, struggling to keep his voice steady, "Anyway, I will definitely accuse that woman and have her thrown in jail! Ha, I know you can do whatever you want in Yunling, but now that there’s ample evidence, if I’m not satisfied with the trial outcome, I’ll continue to take it to the international court. In any case, I won’t let that woman get off easily!"
Seeing Boris left no room for turning back, Huo Zhenyang also turned hostile, no longer bothering to be polite with him, his tone sharp and hawkish,
"Are you sure, Uncle?"
Boris knew that breaking ties with him would be a huge loss. The few short words from the man before him were an obvious threat.
If he continued to accuse Jiayi, without taking back what was said to the police, even a partial divestment from A Country by the Huo Group could inflict serious damage on their government.
Boris lamented in extreme sorrow, "Zhenyang, you and Xiaolei were cousins, after all. When she was young, she looked up to you the most and was always stuck by your side. Even her staying in Yunling was because of love for you, wanting to be with you. She didn’t care about any formalities, nor did she ever think of competing with that woman for the title of the young mistress... And this is how you treat her, letting her die with her eyes open?"
Playing the emotional card?
Huo Zhenyang suddenly strode down the steps.
Before Boris’s aide could react, Huo Zhenyang grabbed Boris by the collar, his expression filled with indignation, yet not lacking an ice-cold chill,
"If it weren’t for your insistence on keeping LO in Yunling, Jiayi would never have gotten entangled in this! LO died with her eyes open?! I want to ask her why she couldn’t die further away! Even in death, she brings harm to others!"
The death of others was none of his concern!
Thinking of Jiayi still locked up in that dark, damp cell at the detention center, he felt extremely troubled.
Boris, his eyes widening in disbelief, realized that the man before him had only that Chinese woman in his heart, while being as cold-blooded as a devil to everyone else.
His daughter had lost her life, and yet he was actually blaming the deceased daughter for getting that woman involved in legal trouble!
"You— are you even human? LO has been killed by her, yet you still defend her—" Boris was dumbfounded.
"It was your stubbornness that kept LO in Yunling, you, as a father, are the one who killed her," Huo Zhenyang retorted sarcastically.
He was tired of continuing to quibble with Uncle.
With Uncle in such a state of anger, it was impossible for him to let Jiayi off.
What’s most important now is to find evidence in Jiayi’s favor, not to waste time arguing with Uncle.
Huo Zhenyang’s hand twitched as he turned around in irritation and walked up the steps.
Boris stumbled, retreating several paces as a chill climbed up his back, leaning on the arms of two assistants as he gasped for air and left.
The lawyer climbed the steps, following the Boss inside.
Before crossing the threshold, however, he saw the tall figure ahead come to a halt.
The previous haughtiness and sharpness were gone, replaced by an air of dejection.
"What can I do now?" the deep voice floated from in front of the lawyer.
With conclusive evidence and a motive established, the uncle adamantly accusing—
It was like three towering mountains.
But no matter how large the mountain, he would uproot it!
The lawyer knew he wanted to hear something useful, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Boss, if I may speak frankly, a murder case like this usually doesn’t draw so much attention. The young lady’s case is under intense public scrutiny primarily because of her status as the Huo Family’s daughter-in-law and the mayor’s wife. A common murder case has thus become a serious matter, and even if the young lady is innocent, in the eyes of the media and the public, they still feel that you are giving her special protection. At this moment, your status is actually making the young lady’s case more difficult."
"Make it clear," the man demanded in a stern voice.
After a pause, the lawyer finally spelled it out, "At this time, if you express your standpoint to the outside world, that you will not indulge or cover for the young lady, and maintain distance from her, the public will not keep their focus solely on her. Handling the case would be much smoother, your public standing and the Group’s image could be maintained, and it would also benefit the young lady’s situation."
"Maintain distance?" His mind stirred, and his thin lips parted slightly.
The lawyer, resolved, said, "Yes, the simplest way would be... divorce."
If the young lady were just a common person, the outside world wouldn’t be interested any longer.
It would, at least, provide some breathing space for the young lady’s case.
Not be cornered by the public as she was now.
George exclaimed in shock, "Divorce? Are you talking nonsense?"
But he also knew that the Huo Family’s lawyer was experienced and must have had his reasons to suggest such a measure.
The man’s expression flickered, his face calm but brewing with turmoil, his gaze flashing sharply, "Impossible."
With those three words, he strode further inside.
The lawyer hurriedly followed a few steps, "Divorce would be beneficial to both the young lady and you at the moment, Boss..."
"No need to speak further. Get out. Continue to find me other solutions! The Huo Family isn’t paying you to be idle! If anything happens to her, it’s over for all of you! You and your legal team, all of you get out of the Huo Group, and don’t even think about working within China’s industry circles again."
His anger was imminent, and he dismissed the lawyer with a wave of his hand!
George gave a meaningful glance.
The lawyer could only sigh and left first.
Huo Zhenyang entered the villa and looked up to see Zaizai, not knowing when he had gotten out of bed by himself and slipped out.
At this moment, Little Baozi was standing on the staircase, still in his pajamas, rubbing his eyes, his big grape-like eyes filled with bewilderment.
His gaze darkened, "Auntie Li. Why didn’t you keep an eye on the young master?"
Auntie Li, knowing the young master didn’t want Zaizai to know about the young lady’s situation, hurried up the stairs to bring Zaizai back to the bedroom.
But Zaizai pulled his hand out of Auntie Li’s palm and scampered down with his little chubby legs.
