CHAPTER 525PROBING The senator was very tense because he couldn't share this information with anyone. It was risky and against their policy. If something he wasn't meant to disclose slipped from his mouth that could be his death."Why are you silent? Is there something you're hiding from us? It's better if you tell us now so we can work it out. You know the position you're going for is very high, so you need to come clean about everything," Mr. Maxwell said to the senator. It was time for them to start digging the dirt that the public eyes couldn't see.This was how they planned to corner him. Since he agreed to be governor, he had to expose his dealings, especially if they were shady. He wouldn't want to lose the benefits that comes from being a governor, so he will definitely comply.It was normal for men in power to have secrets, and it was important to know these secrets to avoid further crises. However, Mr. Maxwell had another use for the information the senator was going to gi

CHAPTER 527THE HIDDEN TRUTHJeremy, who was listening to the senator on the phone, was extremely shocked when he heard those words.'Are they part of a cult?' He asked himself, confusion registering in his eyes as he tried to understand what he had missed.Earlier, he had thought that the trade leaders were well-known people in society and recognised by businesspeople. However, judging from everything he had just heard, it was quite obvious how hidden they had been while establishing themselves in the business world.Jeremy was filled with anger as he thought about the people they had dealt with, and how they had even closed down their business just because they hadn't done what they wanted. It was absurd, and Jeremy was consumed by anger and a desire for revenge.He was actually glad the senator was exposing them, thinking they wanted to help him. All they needed to do was press him further to make him reveal the truth.Gathering as much information as possible would help them final

CHAPTER 529THE MEETINGInstant whispers and sighs followed the senator's statement. It was clearly different from what they had expected, leaving the crowd wondering if he was joking.'This is too good to be true, and we don't believe any of it,' the party chairman instantly disagreed. There was no way he was going to accept it.They were looking for more solid evidence to back up his words, but what the senator had just said had no truth in it whatsoever.'I know it's unbelievable, but everything I said was the truth,' the senator said in a firm, calm voice.He was ready to prove them wrong and show that everything he had said was true.'You don't expect us to believe you. You're part of a group of four, yet none of you have ever seen or spoken to your leader directly? That's absurd, and I refuse to believe you," Maxwell said angrily. It was quite obvious that he wasn't ready to listen to what the man had to say; his eyes were filled with exasperation.'My words might sound like lie

CHAPTER 531ELICIT "I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me," Jeremy replied sarcastically. Why was Mr. Andrew asking him if he was okay? Wasn't Mr. Andrew one of the people who wanted to destroy all his efforts?He Wondered how his father had worked with a man like that for so many years. He wouldn't be surprised if he had a hand in what happened to his father then but he decided to ignore it."I'm really sorry, Mr. Jeremy, for asking you to join the circle and align with them. I never meant it in a bad way. I thought it would help with all your struggles and make things easier for you. I know how many years it took you to build this business, and I won't be happy if you lose it in the blink of an eye. That's why I said what I said, but I was wrong. Please forgive me," Mr. Andrew pleaded with Jeremy.Jeremy wondered why he was apologizing now. The man had never thought it important to apologize to him, but suddenly he was here saying he needed forgiveness. How possible was that?

CHAPTER 533AVERY'S SUSPICIONWith light and quickened footsteps, and a heavy heart concerning the matter at hand, Amanda walked to the door of Jeremy's home.Jeremy's instructions were clear and firm, and she understood the situation they were in — there was no reason to waste any more time.She raised her hand slightly and pressed the doorbell, her eyes scanning the area.Jeremy had wanted to be discreet, and she needed to ensure that no one knew she was coming or going.Sadly, there were no footsteps from within the house. Amanda was clearly losing her patience as she rang the doorbell again, her eyes fixed on the door; her helplessness was palpable.Fortunately, the heavens were on her side.Amanda instantly heard quick footsteps approaching the door before it opened to reveal Avery's face.Puzzled, Avery looked at the strange woman before him.Since arriving in New York, she hadn't been able to make friends. The estate master's wives were against her, so she had stayed by her hus
