“Do you know who the person you spread rumors about indiscriminately is?”
Carlton shook his head, “I don’t know!”
Before he could finish speaking, someone kicked him in the face.
“You dare to touch my woman? Are you tired of living?”
As a businessman, Carlton had attended the Knight family’s events and had seen Ivor in person.
Hence, he immediately recognized the richest man in Pyralis. Waves of shock surged through him, and he was filled with horror. “M-Mr. Ivor?!”
Ivor’s thin lips curled slightly, but his eyes were frosty.
“Yes, you’ve got some eyesight.”
Carlton finally realized the extent of the influential figure he had offended. He quickly crawled to Ivor’s feet and repeatedly begged for mercy.
“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Ivor. I was blind and foolish. If I had known she was your wife, I wouldn’t have dared to do this, Mr. Ivor!”
Ivor stood opposite him, his gaze piercingly cold. “As long as you cooperate with me to expose the mastermind behind you, I’ll consider sparing you.” “Whatever you ask, I’ll tell you everything.” Carlton trembled uncontrollably.
Carlton responded to all of Ivor’s inquiries concerning hiring online ghostwriters and transferring money.
After finishing, Carlton cautiously glanced at Ivor. “Mr. Ivor, I’ve told you everything I can. C-Can you spare me this time?”
Ivor cast a cold sideways glance at him.
“Shut up and wait quietly. Once we find out who’s behind the scenes, then I’ll deal with you.”
Carlton felt like crying. His regrets were beyond words. He shouldn’t have been greedy for that ten grand in the first place.
He had now offended such an unapproachable figure and had implicated himself in the process.
While they were talking, Floyd suddenly approached and whispered something in Ivor’s ear.
Ivor raised his gaze to look at him. “Are you sure?”
Floyd nodded, his tone full of certainty. “The evidence is conclusive.”
A pensive look flashed across Ivor’s eyes. “Go to the Gallagher residence.”
“Yes.”
Floyd and Ivor left the abandoned warehouse together.
At the Gallagher residence, Chester and Sharron Gallagher were drinking tea and chatting.
Suddenly, the butler rushed over and whispered to Chester, “Sir. Mr. Ivor Knight is at the door and wants to see you.”
Chester was taken aback, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
“Ivor? Did he say why he’s here?”
While the Gallagher and Knight families had been working together recently, Chester was the one who visited Ivor to discuss issues. Chester felt a little taken aback because this was Ivor’s first time visiting them.
The butler shook his head and replied, “Mr. Ivor didn’t say… and I didn’t dare to ask.”
Chester thought it made sense and quickly instructed the butler, “Quickly invite him in!”
“Yes.”
The butler quickly left, and Chester instructed the nearby servants, “Make sure everything is clean and prepare some good tea and fresh fruits. Maybe he’s come in person to discuss a major business deal with the Gallagher family!”
Chester was thrilled by the idea. However, he couldn’t help but question how important it was for Ivor to look for him in person.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
