Chapter 222 - 208 You Don’t Need to Know
"Who instigated this?" Mu Haotian’s expression darkened further.
The man in the black hat looked nervously at Mu Hewen, who glared fiercely at him: "Why are you looking at me?"
"It was Mr. Mu..." He began, then as if recalling the cold, knife-like gaze of Mu Shuoqian just now, he quickly added, "It was Mr. Mu Hewen."
"Nonsense." Mu Hewen suddenly stood up and charged at the man in the black hat, apparently intending to hit him.
The man in the black hat backed away in fear, his mouth spouting continuously: "Mr. Mu, I’m not accusing you out of nowhere, I haven’t touched a cent of the money you sent me. You said, after the affair you would pay me the rest, I have evidence, I was afraid you would go back on your word, so I recorded our phone conversations, and I also printed out the details of the transactions, Mr. Mu senior can look at that evidence if you don’t believe me, I was just blinded by greed for a moment,"
"Mu Hewen, get back here." Mu Haotian coldly stopped Mu Hewen’s raised fist, "You still have the face to hit people? How could you do such a despicable thing that harms others without benefiting yourself?"
Mu Hewen trembled with rage, and the man in the black hat hid behind a screen, too scared to come out.
Mu Haotian looked at his eldest son, "Do you have any idea how much effort your grandfather and I put into building today’s business? I handed it over to you two brothers hoping you would unite against our rivals and run it well. And you, for your own selfish desires, to bring your brother down, you’ve done something as low as a dog. What you are ruining is our honor, our decades of illustrious reputation."
Mu Hewen, scolded to silence, had been the mastermind behind this ordeal all along. She knew but was not aware of the specifics. It never crossed her mind that Mu Hewen, who thought he was impeccable, was clearly seen through by Mu Shuoqian from the beginning, who gathered all the people and evidence involved, waiting for this day to present them to Mu Haotian.
Thinking this, they originally thought Mu Shuoqian was out of his mind when he agreed to bet with Mu Hewen. Now it seems as if they were the ones who had their heads stuck in the door. It was a trap Mu Shuoqian had intentionally set, waiting for them to fall right into it.
They tried to create turmoil, convinced they could oust him from the position of president, but never realized they were just two fools, merely preparing a wedding dress for someone else.
"It was the second child, it was Shuoqian who framed me, who has wronged me." Mu Hewen suddenly turned the blame towards Mu Shuoqian, like a gravely wounded beast, lashing out at whoever he sees.
