The perfume supply chain had never had any issues, so how could it suddenly and quietly be shut down?!
And the timing was too coincidental... Could it be Logan’s doing?
The shareholders wore anxious expressions. "Mr. Clark, what is going on?"
James, flustered and panicked, suddenly seemed to realize something. His head jerked up. "Reid... Reid Sir, you... you..."
Logan let out a soft chuckle, his tone calm yet laced with an unmistakable authority that sent chills down everyone’s spine.
"Mr. Clark," he said, his voice as smooth as the surface of a still lake, "I told you, all I want is the truth."
Logan tilted his head slightly, continuing in an unnervingly measured tone: "This... is the punishment for lying."
The punishment for lying...
James staggered back a step, his face pale as a sheet. He... he had lied, but Logan didn’t even give him a chance to explain, instead choosing to shut down the perfume supply chain outright?!
It was like cutting off one of Clark Group’s lifelines!
James finally grasped just how terrifying this man truly was. Desperately, his gaze shifted toward Katie.
Katie froze completely, her face stiff, tears trembling on the verge of falling, trapped in an awkward and utterly helpless expression.
Logan, spinning the tea cup lazily in his hand, cast a bored glance upward.
"Mr. Taylor," he said with a cold smile, "I’ll give you one more chance. But if you don’t tell the truth this time, the consequences faced by the Taylor Group are not as simple as the seizure of the Clark Group, do you understand?"
Selina blinked slowly, realizing Logan’s method. By pitting the two sides against each other, he was forcing them to reveal the other’s schemes for the sake of self-preservation. In one fell swoop, Logan ensured Taylor Group and Clark Family would turn on each other completely.
Taylor’s president swallowed hard, his regret nearly choking him. If he had known Selina had such powerful backing, he never would have dared to cross her!
Now shaken by Clark Family’s example, he no longer dared to lie but instead carefully chose parts of the truth that were advantageous to him.
"Reid Sir, I’ll tell the truth! The truth is... my son and Miss Clark were never in love. It’s just that... my son took a liking to her, so... so we tried to arrange for her to marry him."
"But I swear, we really only wanted the Clark Family’s eldest daughter to become the Taylor Group’s young madam! We didn’t do anything else!"
Logan responded with a cold laugh.
At that moment, Taylor’s president’s phone rang.
A voice on the other end delivered devastating news: "Taylor President, the investors in the Century Tower project have pulled out..."
Taylor’s president’s eyes widened in shock, and his body seemed to freeze.
The Century Tower investment... That project was Taylor Group’s lifeblood. Without it, all the money they had poured in would go down the drain. That would spell the end for Taylor Group!
The intense fear overwhelmed him. Unable to endure the mounting pressure, Taylor’s president collapsed to his knees with a loud thud.
"Reid Sir, I admit it! I admit my son has... certain unsavory habits. Most women who fall into his hands end up... ruined..."
He hesitated for a moment before nervously glancing at Logan for a reaction. Not hearing the sound of the phone again, he breathed slightly easier and continued:
"My son wasn’t really looking to marry Miss Clark. He just... just wanted to have some fun..."
"But the Clark Family willingly sent Miss Clark over, essentially showing they didn’t care what happened to her! Reid Sir, I was wrong. We were wrong! Please, show mercy and spare us!"
James’s vision darkened as rage surged through him, sending his blood pressure skyrocketing. "That’s nonsense!"
Taylor’s president hesitated but forced himself to continue:
"Reid Sir, every word I’m saying is true. The Clark Family knew exactly what my son is like—they knew... knew my son’s hands aren’t clean. But for the sake of money, they willingly sent Selina over!"
"James told me he’d lure Miss Clark to the company, drug her, and then let my son do as he pleased with her... The worse it went for her, the better. Every word I’m saying is true!"
James shouted furiously, "Nonsense! Absolute absurdity! Reid Sir, don’t listen to—"
