Chapter 590 Information Disclosure

Chapter 590 Information Disclosure

The company executives were baffled when they heard the name Michael. They all knew he was already married, so they assumed it was a different Michael.

But in their minds, the most successful Michael they knew was that man.

Carol's expression shifted from confusion to shock, then she blurted out, "Wait, are you talking about Michael, the head honcho at Luminous Beauty? The one who used to design for your old company?"

As soon as Carol asked, skepticism filled the room.

"Carol, what's the deal? That guy is hitched, his wife's Estella. Unless..."

The executives eyed Isabella with a mix of curiosity and doubt.

If Isabella and Michael were involved, it could only mean trouble. But knowing Isabella was already married, was this some kind of secret affair between two married folks?

Sensing the misunderstanding, Isabella just smiled and said, "You'll see it in the news soon enough. Now, back to work, everyone."

With a casual wave, Isabella headed to her office.

But the executives were left pondering, feeling like there was more to the story.

Carol followed Isabella into her office.

As soon as Carol stepped in, she blurted out, "Is Michael really your husband? Why keep it a secret? And what's the deal with Estella? Are you really involved with someone else?"

Isabella rolled her eyes, raising her hand to calm Carol down. "Relax. There's no affair. Michael and I tied the knot a few months back. If you look at the timeline, Estella is the one in the gray area. Technically, she's not even that."

Isabella explained the situation to a shocked Carol.

"I thought your hubby was some big shot, didn't expect this twist."

Carol was intrigued. Joe had hinted at their boss's intimidating identity before, but she hadn't taken it seriously. Now, it seemed Joe was right.

"With your husband in the picture, we're set."

Carol exclaimed, but then her expression shifted as she studied Isabella.

Feeling uneasy under Carol's gaze, Isabella cautiously asked, "What's on your mind?"

Rolling her eyes, Carol said, "I'm wondering if this is a setup between you and your husband. Even Owen's split announcement, was that part of the plan? Dividing the family to back different presidential candidates. No matter who wins, the family stays safe. Smart move, huh?"

Isabella chuckled, meeting Carol's gaze. "Do you think things will go as smoothly as we hope?"

Carol shook her head. "It's not going to go smoothly. You mentioned in the meeting that we have major issues with Henry. So, supporting him is out of the question. It's more likely that you really split from Owen."

Isabella nodded, feeling somewhat resigned. "We didn't want to part ways with Owen, especially for Mason's sake. But he once plotted against my husband, fearing he'd challenge his position as the family heir."

"Family power struggles? Sounds like a plot from a novel or a TV drama."

Carol's eyes sparkled. The intense family drama would surely captivate many.

Isabella rolled her eyes. "We didn't choose this. We're being pushed into it. I can vouch for Michael; he never had such intentions. It's Owen being overly cautious, maybe even envious."

Carol nodded in agreement. "Your husband is close in age to John but has surpassed Owen in achievements. It's natural for Owen to feel envious."

As Carol finished, a mischievous grin played on her lips.

"Even though we know about the split between Owen and Michael, the other families might not see it that way."

"I wonder how Owen will explain this to them when the news breaks?"

Isabella's smile turned mischievous, knowing this was all part of their strategy.

By evening, a piece of news once again set the internet abuzz.

Jeremy shared a post on social media, showing a photo of him and Michael shaking hands. The caption revealed that Michael was moving his assets back home to support Jeremy's campaign.

This news sent shockwaves online.

Two key points stood out: Michael had made a public appearance! The elusive man who avoided cameras had shown his face and backed Jeremy.

The other surprising detail was that Michael was Owen's cousin, yet they were endorsing different presidential candidates.

What game were Michael and Owen playing? That was the burning question on everyone's mind, including Anthony and Richard.

"Owen, you're quite the player. Backing different candidates, ensuring your family benefits no matter who wins, huh?"

Anthony shouted in frustration, slamming the table towards Owen.

Richard's expression mirrored his anger. They had been outmaneuvered by Owen this time. Not only did they miss out on stock investments, but they also suffered significant losses.

Though Owen's face darkened, he managed a smile as he explained, "My brother and I have deep-rooted conflicts, entangled in internal power struggles within the Williams Family. We're both fighting for control. Please, trust me."

As Owen finished speaking, Richard's phone buzzed. Reading the news, his eyes widened in shock.

"Owen! Are you still trying to deceive us? Your brother just claimed he's married to Isabella!"
