Selena was beginning to fear now, for she saw that all the news articles related to

Ellen were gone. This meant that Jared had taken action.

Selena didn’t want to get involved, much less bear the responsibility for it.

Ellen’s reputation was considered ruined at this point, so even if the news articles

were gone, it was enough to force Ellen out of the chess community. From today

onward, Ellen wouldn't dare participate in official competitions, and her championship

would becthe joke of the chess community.

Selena was quite satisfied with the outcome, feeling that it was worth sacrificing her

body in exchange for such results.

In the meeting room, Jared was seated at the front while a group of people sat before

him. They were all concerned about one thing, which was to find the culprit behind the

scenes who wanted to defEllen.

At that moment, they had gathered enough. information to paint a complete picture.

“Young Master Jared, these are records of Alden Thomas’ financial situation. This is

his call history and duration, as well as the people he met recently at the hotel.”

“Based on the people he’s met in the past few days, we carried out a thorough

investigation. These are all people who have contacted him before.”

“According to our speculation, it's highly possible that Alden wanted to get revenge on

Miss Reiss because he couldn't accept the fact that he lost.”

Jared stared at Alden’s photo with an extremely disgusted look in his cold eyes. Back

then, this man had smashed the chess pieces right in front of Ellen during the finals.

“President Presgrave, shall we employ our special methods?”

“For the moment, no. Keep investigating.” Jared shook his head. He had to be a little

more careful since Ellen’s reputation was involved. He wanted to clear Ellen’s name

and restore her reputation as well.

If he just wanted to exact revenge, he had all the methods in the world to do it.

Just then, Jared's phone rang. He glanced at it, gentleness instantly filling his eyes as

he took his phone over to the French windows. He answered the call and said

tenderly, “Hey. Are you going to sleep already?”

“Is the investigation still underway?” On the other end of the line, Ellen asked as her

heart ached for Jared. It was already 9.00PM. “Don’t worry, we'll find the truth very

soon,” Jared comforted her.

“Just forget it if you can’t find anything. | won't stoop to their level.” Ellen didn’t want

him to work too hard either.

“I've said before that | won't let anyone bully you anymore. I'm a man of my word.”

Jared would never let those people off the hook.

He would make all of Ellen’s bullies pay the steep price for it. Even if they couldn't be

punished by law, he could still employ his methods.

Just then, Stanley’s phone rang. He reached out and picked up the call. “Hello. Did

you get any information from eavesdropping?”

“Send it to me.”

Not long after Stanley listened to a portion of the recording, he spoke to Jared, who

was still on the phone. “Young Master Jared, we've found something. Listen to this.”

Jared glanced at Stanley, then said gently over the phone, “I'll go hto you as

soon as possible.”

“Okay, don’t overwork yourself,” Ellen said in concern. After hanging up, Jared sat

down at the table and listened to the aurecording. Two drunken voices were heard

speaking.

“Jay, | helped you this time, so you'd better thankproperly.”

“Of course, | will.” “That girl is outstanding, though. If | play against her in the future,

I'm honestly not sure if I'd be able to win.”

“I'll make use of this incident to bar her from entering competitions, and you won't ever

see her at any matches in the future.” “That's great. I'll have hopes of getting first

place next year.”

“You've helpedthis time, but you're also helping yourself too!” “I wouldn't have

helped you so readily otherwise!” “Thank you, thank you so much.”

After the playback ended, Stanley continued, “President Presgrave, a subordinate

recorded this while sending the two back to the hotel. Looks like Alden was just a

pawn, and the real person who wanted to ruin Miss Reiss’ reputation was the judge

named Jay Harris. He probably has a grudge against her.”

Jared frowned a little. The recording was proof that Alden was helping Jay destroy

Ellen’s reputation, so who was the one behind Jay? “Keep investigating,” Jared said in

a low voice.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the hotel, the two drunk men staggering into the

building had no idea that the driver of the taxi they took wasn’t the real driver at all.

The real driver was sitting in the black car tailing them.
