"Why do you look so calm?" Dylan was confused when he saw Max, who seemed uninterested in the news.
The news out there will stress their young madam. And if she is stressed, their boss will be affected, too, right?
"It’s not a big deal, Dylan. Everything will be fine..." Max casually responded, but Dylan was surprised to see his calmness.
"So, you already know about it?"
"Yes, Boss asked me to check this matter yesterday when he arrived in this city."
"I see. But why is the news still there? Why didn’t you help Stellar Entertainment erase them all!? I know you are capable of doing so…"
"Well, man… of course I want to delete everything. But what I found will surprise you." Max chuckled at Dylan’s increasingly confused expression.
Dylan gazes at Max as if he wants Max to explain further.
However, Max couldn’t tell Dylan anything now. With an apologetic expression, he replied, "Man, sorry. I won’t explain it to you now. But you can hear it later when I report it to our boss…"
Max still doesn’t believe the results of his investigation. He knew that someone was driving the news circulating on the Internet. When he investigates the person behind this, he is shocked to discover that a hacker is setting the news in motion.
The hacker ensures that only news related to Stellar Entertainment appears on the Internet. If news related to Quantum Capital or any of their other businesses appears on the Internet, it will be erased automatically.
When he digs deeper, Max is even more shocked when he discovers the hacker’s identity; he is the hacker he knows, Grim Reaper, his old foe.
He finds that the Grim Reaper is often in contact with Bella, so he assumes that Bella and Quantum Capital control all the news.
Therefore, Max decided not to do anything. He needed to consult with Tristan first.
...
Before long,
Finally, Tristan returns to the living room. He asks Dylan and Max to follow him to the study room.
After they all settle on the sofa, Tristan glances at Max.
"Did you find out who attacked Stellar Entertainment?"
"Yes. Someone paid the buzzer* to write negative comments about Stellar Entertainment. And also, they would write positive comments about Laura Kiels. When I traced the identity of the person who paid the buzzer, I discovered it was Laura Kiels’ Manager."
Tristan was no longer surprised. He already had suspicions about it. "Are you sure about that?"
"Yes, boss. Obviously. My evidence is enough to take him to prison." Max said proudly. But, when he saw that his boss didn’t say anything, he seemed to be thinking about something, which worried Max. He could only wait for his boss to ask further.
"You should know who the mastermind behind him, right?" Tristan asked seriously.
"I know it’s Laura Kiels. But... Boss, I’m sorry, I can’t find anything related to her in this case. She never communicated with her manager using her cell phone about this matter." Max said apologetically.
Max has tried hard to trace Laura’s involvement but found nothing. He believes that Laura is starting to think smarter about using her gadgets.
Instantly, Tristan’s face darkened. He wants to throw Laura Kiels in prison, not just her manager. This woman has dared to stress out his wife, so he needs to punish her.
However, Max doesn’t have any evidence regarding Laura, which means... he has to find a way to get her.
Later,
Tristan turns his gaze at Dylan.
"Ask someone to capture that manager and take him to the usual place," Tristan ordered.
"Yes, boss. I will instruct them," Dylan responded immediately. He took out his cell phone and walked to a corner to make a call.
After Tristan saw Dylan leave, he turned to Max again, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Max immediately told Tristan everything he knew, starting with Stellar Entertainment, which deliberately allowed an article that slandered them to become a trending topic for days to gather evidence. Once they gathered enough evidence, they held an official press conference and declared they would sue them all.
But Max didn’t tell Tristan about the identity of the hacker who helped Bella.
After hearing Max’s explanation, Tristan was lost in thought once again. He was impressed to know that his wife knew how to handle this situation. No wonder she was always calm and refused his help whenever he offered it.
’It seems like someone is behind her. Helping her deal with matters like this. Was it Jack or her head secretary, Leo?’ Tristan wondered. Now, he was amusing himself, worrying about something he shouldn’t.
Tristan smiled faintly before saying, "Thank you, Max, for your hard work. For now, you don’t need to do anything. But, help me monitor the situation and report if anything suspicious happens."
"Okay, boss," Max answered reassuringly.
Something crossed his mind before Tristan wanted to dismiss Max; he asked, "You said you found other information about my wife?"
"Yes. When I investigated Quantum Capital, I discovered that the company was actually related to RDF Group, a big investment company based in New York."
"I know," Tristan said. He knew that the moment he met Jack Foster last month.
Max’s eyes brightened when he saw that Tristan didn’t know the vital information he had found.
"Boss, do you know your wife has a share in that company? RDF Group New York!?"
"What? She has a shareholding in RDF Group?"
He never imagined that Bella would own shares there. Moreover, the company did not go public on the stock market; it is a private company. No one can buy the shares unless purchased from the founder or...
’Did she buy the shares from Jack? Did she use the money I gave her to invest there?’
Tristan was stunned to hear his own thoughts. He remembered giving Bella a lot of alimony despite the divorce not being finalized and money from the house he bought from her.
