Chapter 147 Mr. Obelon's Rival in Love?
What's going on?
Why did Brandon have that terrifying expression again?
And this time, he looked even more devastatingly scary than ever before.
Finnian really wanted to turn around and run.
But curiosity got the better of him, so he couldn't help asking, "Brandon, what's wrong? Did you have another fight with Candice?"
Brandon's gaze was like a knife, immediately cutting toward Finnian. His tone was cold as he said, "What do you mean by 'another'? Do I fight with her all the time?"
No matter how you heard it, he sounded angry and upset.
Well, no need to explain - they definitely fought!
Finnian understood right away.
But why?
If he remembered correctly, didn't Brandon just go to see Candice yesterday with the investigation results?
Finnian braved the threat of death and continued asking, "Brandon, wasn't everything fine yesterday? You helped Candice suppress the negative news. Shouldn't she be deeply moved and throw herself into your arms?"
When Brandon heard this, his already ugly expression became even worse.
Had Candice throw herself into his arms?
They barely exchanged a few words before she turned around to thank another man.
Thinking about this, Brandon's expression looked like it was covered in a layer of ice, and his tone became even colder.
"Don't mention anything about her to me anymore! If you have nothing to do, go work. You don't need to get involved with the Mortimer Group's affairs either. She doesn't lack people to help her handle things anyway!"
Hearing this, Finnian was completely confused and didn't understand what Brandon meant at all.
But he could tell that Brandon's tone was even colder and decisive than usual.
Looking around the office and seeing only himself and Brandon, Finnian didn't dare to continue annoying him, so he quickly left.
Once outside, he immediately grabbed Knox to ask about this matter.
Knox readily answered, "I'm not too clear either, but it seems there's someone else helping Ms. Elikin handle this matter."
Finnian immediately asked gossipily, "Who? Isn't it the Mortimer Group helping her?"
Knox shook his head and said, "Apparently not. Haven't you been following the online news? This morning, negative comments about Ms. Elikin came up again. Before we could take action, a company called Vertex Media Company helped suppress all the negative news."
Finnian looked surprised, "How could it be Vertex Media Company?"
This company was famous in the entertainment industry!
The person who founded this company was Uly, winner of Best Actor in the entertainment industry.
Nobody knew what this guy's background was, but not only was his acting incredibly good, but his business skills were even more amazing.
In the domestic entertainment industry, the only company that could compete with the Obelon Entertainment Company was the Vertex Media Company!
Knox naturally knew about Vertex Media Company too.
He said, "This morning, when Mr. Obelon saw the news, he had me investigate this Uly. After reading the information, his expression immediately became very scary, as if he'd seen some enemy."
Knox still got chills thinking about that scene.
Finnian was even more surprised, "No way, could this Uly be his romantic rival?"
Knox shook his head, "I don't know about that."
Finnian immediately panicked!
"That won't do!"
Brandon had finally fallen for someone. If he lost Candice, he'd probably stay single for the rest of his life!
"No way! I think I need to investigate this matter properly."
Muttering to himself, Finnian didn't dare delay for a moment and immediately went to investigate.
How could Candice know that these people had all misunderstood?
However, the next morning, she was quite surprised that Brandon didn't come to see Elijah.
After all, he was used to bringing breakfast over every day.
But Candice didn't think much of it, just assuming Brandon had something come up temporarily.
After breakfast, she sent the two little ones to kindergarten and then went to the company herself.
As soon as she entered, Anais came to report, "Ms. Elikin, York confessed at the police station. He said someone did pay him to spread rumors about the Mortimer Group. However, the other party was very cautious. When they came to see him, they wore a mask and disguised themselves well, so their face couldn't be seen clearly."
"York only cared about money, so he never saw the other person's face. As for that media company, it's already been shut down. Because they've spread false news many times in the past, now that they're being sued, they're not far from bankruptcy."
"They also admitted to taking money to do the job, but the person they dealt with was just an unimportant passerby."
Anais described the 'passerby's' information - someone who had no connection to the Elikin family.
After hearing this, Candice's eyes darkened slightly.
Although she had expected the Elikin family to be very cautious.
She didn't expect they wouldn't leave a single trace of evidence!
At this time, on the Elikin family's side.
Xander also learned about this matter, and his expression had been gloomy all day.
He never thought things would develop this way!
He didn't expect the Mortimer Group's methods to be so swift!
From when the incident happened until now, how long had it been?
One media company went bankrupted, and York was already going to jail.
Was Candice really that important to the Mortimer Group?
When Vesper learned this news, she also found it hard to believe.
At the same time, she couldn't help worrying, "Dad, do you think the Mortimer Group will trace this back to us?"
She didn't dare imagine what kind of revenge they would face if the Mortimer Group found out.
Xander reassured her, "No, I didn't leave any evidence when I hired people to do this. How could the Mortimer Group possibly suspect us? Don't overthink it."
"It's just that our plan failed this time, and we wasted so much money. It seems that if we want to deal with Candice, we need to think of another way!"
Thinking about how quickly Candice turned danger into safety, Vesper felt extremely unwilling.
But she also understood that for now, she could only hold back.
However, Candice obviously wasn't going to let this matter go so easily.
Ulysses, even less so would let the culprit off.
Even if that media company went bankrupt, he still had people digging deeper into this matter.
In this world, as long as something had been done, it would definitely leave traces!
Finding out the truth was just a matter of time.
Evening.
Candice rarely finished work early and personally went to pick up the two little ones from school.
In the car, Yasmin mentioned that they hadn't gone out to eat in many days, and she wanted to eat pizza tonight.
Candice knew better than anyone how much of a foodie she was.
Since the company matters had come to a conclusion and her time wasn't so tight, she agreed to Yasmin's suggestion.
"Then let's go eat pizza tonight!"
After saying this, she looked at Elijah, "Elijah, should we invite your dad too?"
Brandon had helped her this time, so she should thank him properly. Why not take this opportunity to treat him to a meal?
"Okay!"
Elijah's eyes lit up, naturally having no objections.
It was rare for Candice to take the initiative to invite Brandon - how could they miss such a good opportunity?
Candice smiled and said, "Then let's go directly to the Obelon Group now. We have to pass by there anyway."
"Okay!" Elijah smiled, in a very good mood.
