Scandal
Amanda remained silent and watched the man blow his top, barely remembering the last time she saw
him mad. They stared at each other for a while before Elias’ phone rang all of a sudden, breaking the
dead silence.
He answered the call. “Speak.” Upon hearing what the other party said, he uttered, “I got it. I’ll be there
soon. No one is allowed to speak to the reporters or say nonsense!”
After hanging up the call, he turned to look at Amanda, who had calmed down. “I told you I only
wanted. to get to the truth, and you’ll deal with the rest. No one can force you to acknowledge the
Allegras as your family. If they make you do that, you can tell me about it, and I’ll protect you. That’s it. I
have to take my leave now. There’s something I need to attend to.”
With that, he turned around and left, leaving Amanda alone in the spacious living room as she plunged
onto the couch. She didn’t mean to vent her anger on Elias, but she couldn’t control her emotions. It
was. difficult for her to accept such shocking news, after all.
While sitting on the couch, she felt fidgety and had no idea how to calm herself down. Just then, she
received a notification of the latest news on her phone. She wasn’t in the mood to take a look, so she
picked up her phone and wanted to toss it away.
However, when she caught sight of the news on the screen, it instantly grabbed her attention.
The Secretary of Winters Enterprise’s President Committed Suicide by Jumping off the Building.
What?! The Winters Enterprise?
Amanda quickly switched on her phone and took a look at the latest news, only to discover that
everyone was talking about the incident.
It was no wonder Elias had left in a hurry, for such a serious incident had happened at the company.
She clicked into a news article and realized that the deceased was Elias’ first love, Natasha, though the
man had never admitted to it.
What’s going on?
Out of curiosity, she went through the news article and learned that the secretary had committed
suicide. by jumping off the company building. It was suspected that she had been troubled by love
affairs. The writer of the article speculated that the secretary had hooked up with Elias and wanted to
marry him, but the man turned her down straight away. As such, she was dejected and decided to end
her life.
After reading the article, Amanda found it laughable. This is ridiculous.
She supposed Elias’ enemies had hired the writer to produce such an article to demonize the man. He
was described as a jerk who messed with women. Besides that, he was also framed as a psychopath
who tortured the secretary, causing her to commit suicide.
Amanda wondered how Elias was going to deal with the matter.
As a lawyer, she would suggest Elias not making a statement for the time being. Instead, he should
observe the incident development and deal with the case first. After all, a life was lost.
She opened her contact list, ready to call the man. Nevertheless, after giving it some thought, she
decided. not to do it. There were many people on the Winters Enterprise’s PR team, so her advice was
likely
redundant.
Meanwhile, Elias arrived at the underground parking lot of the Winters Enterprise and entered the
elevator. Yacob, the assistants, and the secretaries had been waiting outside the elevator.
The moment the door was opened, the man stepped out of it, after which a group of people surrounded
him and reported everything to him.
“What should we do, Mr. Winters? The corpse is still outside the company, and the police are looking
into the matter. Many reporters and passers-by have taken countless videos and photos and posted
them. online. We can’t stop everyone from talking about it.” Yacob followed him and seemed to be on
the brink
of tears.
“Mr. Winters, many reporters would-like to interview you. They’ve been asking the employees
questions. The older employees know they shouldn’t say anything, but the newer ones are not so
restrained.”
“Mr. Winters, Natasha committed suicide because her parents came to the company and forced her to
give them money. They even laid a hand on her. Many people pulled them away from Natasha and
chased them out of the company. I believe that was the reason she jumped off the building”
Elias finally heard something useful. He stopped in his tracks and glanced at that secretary. “Are you
saying that she ended her life because her parents demanded money from her?”
I think so. Her parents had humiliated and abused her in the company. It must be embarrassing for her.
No one could ever accept such humiliation-
Before the secretary even finished speaking, Elias told Yacob, “Find out who Natasha’s parents are.
Also, get the surveillance footage and take screenshots of her parents hitting her. Post the images
online when it’s necessary.”
Yacob replied, “Yes, right away.”
Then, Elias glanced at his assistant. “Chase the reporters away and ask the PR Department to take
down the news articles.”
“Yes.”
All of them left the place one by one, following Elias” orders.
He entered his office and stood in front of the windows before looking down at the crowd. The police
had cordoned off the area, and Natasha’s corpse had been put inside a body bag. Everything looked
dismal.
Life was full of uncertainties.
Natasha had prepared coffee for Elias the day before, but she was a dead body now.”
Is that why Natasha never wanted to leave the compagy? The Winters Enterprise had prepared
accommodation for employees who needed it, and everyone had a room to themselves. As such,
Natasha had always stayed in the hostel and refused to return home. It seemed that she had been
avoiding her parents.
Although Elias didn’t love the woman, he let out a sigh as he had seen too many corpses over the
years.
A young woman was gone for good, after all.
Exhausted, he closed his eyes to get some rest.
–
It seemed that he had been unlucky recently. Before he even settled the problem at hand, another one
arose.
By the same evening, the discussions about Natasha’s death on the internet had intensified. Some
people even started spreading rumors that Elias had killed Natasha and pushed her off the building to
make it look like suicide.
Amanda had been following the incident on Twitter. As she went through the unfounded rumors, she
had the urge to argue with those netizens.
“All of them are ridiculous. Do they think they’re detectives or something? How could they spout
nonsense like this?” Amanda muttered as she read the comments online.
Selina couldn’t help but ask, “What are the comments about?”
Amanda got to her feet and passed her the tablet. “See it for yourself. They’ve even started creating
rumors.”
Selina took the tablet and skimmed through the comments, which were so nasty that she became
furious. instantly.
I suspect that Natasha was killed because of love affairs, and the murderer is Elias. That’s why he has
been. hiding since the incident happened. He doesn’t even have the guts to say anything about it.
“She was quite beautiful. Did Elias force himself on her or something? That’s why she felt humiliated
and killed herself.
“I saw a rumor saying that the secretary was impregnated by Elias, but he refused to take
responsibility. The woman was unwilling to get the child aborted because she wanted to marry Elias.
But now, she’s dead. The more I think about it, the more terrified I feel:
‘I have a relative who works at the Winters Enterprise. It’s said that the woman was Elias’ first love.”
