"the ceo of kamiyama groups has released a statement?" chisa reads the article. she frowns when she scrolls up.
to summarise, takeuchi seiji already dissolved the adoption two years ago after takeuchi rie disappeared. the engagement between hashimoto chisa and kamiyama kiyohira was decided after the disappearance of takeuchi rie. in reality, the person who was supposed to be his fiancee was takeuchi rie whose real name is umezaki rie? all the rumors regarding her are false and strict actions will be taken against the one who is slandering her. the reinvestigation has been initiated to find the kidnapper who nearly killed umezaki rie and caused the miscarriage of their first child. according to the anonymous tip, it was a woman who sent the kidnappers after umezaki rie and nearly killed her.
she slams her hand on the table. she clenches her jaw and utters the name hatefully. "kiyohira!"
she will be investigated for sure. even if they don't find any proof, people will still speculate. the broken engagement, her lowly origins, and the rumor that the kidnapper is a woman are enough to lead people to think that she has a motive. what's better than a jealous fiancee?
her stepfather ran away to another country. her mother is either lying drunk in her house or lying underneath some man. she's alone to deal with this nonsense.
scandals are temporary. when a new scandal comes up, the old one is forgotten. someone will make a mistake and the attention will be diverted.
she's the ceo and she has supporters. there are services that only she can give them. with the reins finally in her hands, she will transform the h groups.
"they have sued you for slander." morikawa massages her forehead slowly. "you are also suspected of kidnapping."
she has an alibi. the cctv's recordings have been deleted. there aren't any fingerprint. the kidnappers can't be caught.
by chance, if they are caught, they don't know the real identity of the person who ordered the kidnapping.
"let them investigate. they can't find anything," she tells morikawa with her furrows brows. "even if they do, my friends will take care of it."
morikawa nods. there's no evidence. if there is, there are people who will take care of it.
"did you hear anything about rie?" she opens her eyes.
"she didn't come out of the kamiyama mansion since that day." morikawa has people keeping a watch on the mansion. the security is airtight. they can't even get a glimpse of umezaki rie. "we are keeping a watch."
"let her enjoy her marriage." her gaze is distant. "she must experience happiness before she faces the pain again. otherwise, it's no fun."

"you want to buy the shares?" eichi looks at kiyohira with disbelief. "from those people? what makes you think that they will accept your offer? as much as i heard, they are quite close to chisa."
after some investigation on chisa's supporters, eichi was surprised when he found out the close relationship between hashimoto chisa and those people.
"i doubt they will care about chisa if the deal is beneficial." kiyohira signs the papers. "move quietly. chisa must not get a wind of this."
"that's new, kiyohira. you want to destroy her?" eichi smirks. "is it because of rie?"
kiyohira silently regards eichi. it's tiresome how eichi can guess his reasons so easily.
"so, it's her." doing this for a woman... his friend is impossible to understand.
currently, chisa is untouchable because of her supporters. he is also curious why they favor her so much. even if she's a smart businesswoman, why would the leaders from the underground world become interested in a woman like her? find authorized novels in webnovel,faster updates, better experience,please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
and, that phone? he found out that it was registered under the name of hashimoto soetsu, hashimoto hiro's useless son. without a doubt, it was chisa who used it.
what was on that phone?
there's something missing. he needs to find that missing piece of the puzzle.
does his wife know? he was sure that he saw a glimpse of a message before the screen turned black. the hacker was texting his wife. when she said that she couldn't chase her dreams because she didn't want her face to be known, was it because she would be an easy target of the hackers? her face was known to the people who attended the world hack series. back then, he did sense animosity toward.
it would be shocking if merciless_b didn't have enemies. people at the top naturally acquire enemies as they go higher.
kiyohira ends up smiling. that arrogant woman with a bad temper would certainly gain enemies just with her words alone.
even if she knows the missing piece, she is unlikely to be helpful. he needs to find out on his own.
