The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 530

Chapter 530 Doubts

As the repercussions of the case were considerable and the criminal's testimonies were inconsistent, not to mention the issue was related to Ackleton's business tycoon, Cayden Moore, the higher-ups began investigating that matter thoroughly.

Despite their efforts, they failed to discover any new information.

The appearance of the person committing bribery in the video matched Kayden's current looks, and Marvin also repeatedly confirmed on-site that the signature affixed on the agreement was “Kayden” instead of “Cayden.”

Of course, Kayden's identity was also confirmed. His background was simple. He was an orphan and had no other relatives. All the information about his life since his youth was unambiguous. That was a man who genuinely existed in reality.

GC Group was also an authentic corporation. The company had been established for ten years, with a moderate business scale, and the name of the legal representative of the group was Kayden.

Furthermore, Sid presented a land transfer contract, signed by Kayden Moore with the current CEO of Trident Group, Cayden Moore, from ten years ago, proving that he had obtained the land from Marvin and transferred it to Cayden.

Sid eloquently explained insider details of the transaction at that time to the judges. He had a silver tongue and could keep his composure when facing the volleys of questions. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

As an internationally renowned swindler, his lies were so convincing that even the FBI couldn't tell if he was lying, let alone the public prosecutors.

The prosecutors were unwilling to give up and persisted in their investigation for a long time.

In the end, they found that all the land transfer contracts were genuine. They couldn't even discover any loopholes.

Ultimately, due to sufficient evidence from all aspects, the bribery case was settled.

The media announced the case's final verdict to the public. Marvin Sheen's bribery case was unrelated to Trident Group's CEO, Cayden Moore. The real culprit was the director of GC Group, Kayden Moore. Considering Kayden had turned himself in and demonstrated a good attitude for admitting his offenses, the court sentenced him to fifteen years imprisonment and confiscated his property.

The news instantly caused an uproar in Ackleton.

The media reported that the director of the local GC Group was involved in a major bribery case and was arrested with court approval.

Bribery cases were not unusual, as such dishonest incidents would happen in every city. What shocked the public the most was that the handsome criminal, Kayden, looked exactly like Trident Group's CEO, Cayden. Even their names were almost identical. The uncanny resemblances sparked much speculation and heated discussion.

As Cayden was a prominent figure in Ackleton, that news circulated in the headlines of all major media outlets for a long time and prompted members of the media to request interview sessions with Cayden. However, they were all turned down by Trident Group's secretaries with the excuse that Cayden was swamped with work.

Only after a prolonged period did that sensation finally gradually subside.

Avery sat quietly before the floor-to-ceiling window inside the mansion, leisurely enjoying the night breeze.

It was a particularly charming night. A crescent moon hung in the sky, and countless sparkling stars adorned the vast sky.

She wore a faint smile, and her delicate facial features appeared extraordinarily gentle in the soft light.

Cayden's and the children's laughter reverberated in the air as they washed the dishes inside the kitchen.

Occasionally, she could also hear Rory's cooing and Zachary's disdainful voice. “Daddy, that's not how you wash the dishes. You're using too much detergent. It's wasteful. Even Rory is doing a better job than you.”

Zachary spoke with the bearing of an adult, insisting that men should learn to do housework instead of relying on the housekeeper. Since their father didn't know how to cook, he should at least wash the dishes to help their mother with the household chores and prevent her from getting overworked.

Cayden realized his son's words made sense, so he enthusiastically learned from his children how to wash the dishes, thoroughly enjoying himself throughout the process.

Listening to the joyous interaction and banters between Cayden and the kids brought a contented smile to Avery's countenance.

However, doubts lingered within her. She yearned to ask Cayden about the questions that baffled her, but he had been busy lately, often coming home exhausted and immediately drifting off to sleep while hugging her.

She suppressed her burning curiosity to let him get sufficient rest.

Nevertheless, the doubts continued to trouble her, leaving her utterly bewildered no matter how hard she mulled those baffling matters over.

The trio spent a long while inside the kitchen before finally cleaning up the dishes.

Zachary brought Rory to their room to help her with her homework while Cayden returned to the bedroom he shared with Avery.

Avery had a book spread open on her lap, but it was upside down, and she seemed unaware of it. She appeared to be lost in her thoughts.

Cayden furrowed his brows. He walked up to her, bent down, and gently pinched the bridge of her nose. “Silly girl, what are you thinking about?”

“I'm wondering if the disk incident has really been resolved just like that. I thought that was a tricky problem to handle and had even had nightmares about you getting arrested.” She looked up and gazed at him. Uneasiness continued to churn within her chest. Why did Sid willingly undergo plastic surgery to look like Cayden? Why is he willing to go to prison in Cayden's stead without having any complaints? The higher-ups have been investigating this matter meticulously, so will the truth be exposed again one day? Also, why did Marvin suddenly change his testimony halfway through?

She had many other pent-up uncertainties that she planned to ask him all in one go later.

“Silly girl, why do you have so many questions? Don't worry. This problem is more or less resolved. Nicole no longer has any dirt on us that she can use to threaten us.” He chuckled.

The moon outside the window shone brightly, enveloping the earth with a warm orange hue, the soft glow as tender as the petite woman beside him.

Whenever he looked at her, his eyes would subconsciously be filled with adoration.

She paused briefly before adding, “Still, I can't shake the feeling that something is fishy about this. How could we have sorted out this predicament just like that? Even now, I still find the turns of events surreal.”

Cayden smiled at the sight of her confused and uncertain demeanor.

He carried her to the bed and slowly explained the whole story to her.

Ten years ago, when he signed the agreement with Marvin, he prepared a backup plan by deliberately affixing a messy signature.

The name appeared to be “Cayden,” but it was actually “Kayden.” He did that for the purpose of avoiding future troubles.

Sure enough, an unfortunate incident occurred afterward.

Hence, he instructed Sid, who had undergone plastic surgery to look like him, to return. In exchange for Sid going to prison for him, he would help Sid escape the mafia's pursuit and promise to provide Sid with a clean and legitimate identity after his release from jail.

GC Group was a private company Cayden established on a whim when he was younger. The identity was a fictional character he created, but the files, background, and other details related to that identity were real.

That company had no connection to Trident Group, and the role he played in that company was not made known to anyone except for Xavier. This time, it just so happened that the identity came in handy, and everything fell into place.
