Chapter 684
As Jolin was personally investigating the giarism incident, it wasn''t long before Oscar found out
about it. He then had his best hacker infiltrate theputer of theizen that uploaded the image to
find out more about him.
Although the culprit was clever enough to make that upload with an anonymous ount registered
under a fake ID card, Oscar was able to have his hacker investigate the source of that fake ID card.
Thanks to the amount of money he was paying for that information, they soon received an anonymous
tip which helped them greatly.
In just a few days, Hugo had managed to find and catch the underaged teen who uploaded the
blueprints online.
Intimidated by how tough Hugo and his men looked, the young man knew better than to mess with
them and confessed immediately when asked about the blueprints.
“What happened was, a woman came to me and offered me a thousand. All I had to do was make a
fake ID card and upload these blueprints online. That woman looked really fashionable with her
sunsses and high heels. I couldn''t get a clear look at her face due to the sunsses, but I could tell
she looked pretty. I''m not a big fan of her thick makeup, though!” The young man was terrified at first
but got all excited when he started describing the woman.
“Shut up!” Hugo yelled at him, causing the young man to go silent instantly.
Hugo then had one of his men fetch him a piece of paper and continued, “Go on.”
“Huh? Go on to do what?” the young man asked in confusion.
Hugo shot him a cold re as he replied, “Think long and hard about the woman''s appearance, then
describe it to me as best you can. Keep in mind that your life depends on your description.”
“R-Right!”
The young man then did as he was told, and Hugo quickly sketched a portrait ording to his
description.
“Is this her?” Hugo asked while showing him the drawing.
The young man nodded profusely in response.
Hugo nodded at one of the bodyguards, prompting him to give the young man a beating. “Next time,
don''t just ept random offers from strangers.”
With that, Hugo and his men left the scene.
“Here you go, Boss. I sketched this based on the young man''s description.” Hugo said respectfully
while handing Oscar the drawing.
Although Oscar found the woman to look rather familiar, he couldn''t recall where and when he had
seen her before.
“Go find out who she is,” Oscar ordered.
“I''ve already had our friend at the police station look her up in the census. I''m sure we''ll have an update
soon,” Hugo replied.
Oscar nodded.
Hugo''s phone started ringing a few minutester, and he answered it as quickly as he could. “Hello? I
see... Understood, I''ll treat you to a mealter. Bye now.”
He then hung up the phone and said, “ording to the police, this woman is Rory Sanders. She''s a
fresh graduate and works in the samepany as Mrs. Clinton.”
That was when Oscar finally remembered who that woman was.
We''ve met a few times before, and she would stare at me from time to time for some reason. Amelia
has always looked after her, and this is how she returns the favor? By betraying her? She''s got some
gutsing after my woman!
With that in mind, Oscar ordered, “Bring her to me.”
His men soon brought Rory over and tied her up before tossing her onto the floor. It wasn''t until she
looked up and met Oscar''s icy-cold gaze that her face turned as white as a sheet.
“M-Mr. Clinton... W-Why did you have your men bring me over like this?” she asked with a forced smile.
Oscar shot her a nce as he read out the fake ID card number that she used. “You sure are a bold
one foring after my woman, Rory.”
Despite being scared out of her wits, Rory still tried her best to y dumb and said, “Huh? W-What are
you talking about, Mr. Clinton?”
“Rory, I wouldn''t have brought you over if I didn''t already know what you did. Come clean with me, and
I might just allow you to carry on living in Tayhaven,” Oscar said with a sneer.
Trying to hide it when he already knows everything will only make things worse. I should tell him the
truth if I want to stand a chance at making it out alive!
With that in mind, Rory confessed with teary eyes, “I''m sorry, Mr. Clinton! I only did this because I was
blinded by greed! Someone came to me and asked me to teach Amelia a lesson in return for a huge
sum of money! I know I''ve made a very huge mistake, and I am willing to take responsibility for it.
Please spare my life, Mr. Clinton! I have a sick mother at home in need of treatment! I really didn''t
mean to hurt Amelia like this! I only did it to save my mother!”
Oscar red coldly at her. “Are you done?”
Rory nodded with her body curled up in fear.
“If you admit to stealing the blueprint and apologize to Amelia, I will let this slide,” Oscar said.
Rory fell into a dilemma after hearing that. If I admit to it, I''ll lose this amazing job that I worked really
hard to get! It''d also make me worthless to Jennifer, who has been helping me out in secret! She might
even get rid of me like a useless pawn!
Noticing that she was still hesitating, Oscar pressed on, “What''s the matter? You won''t do it?”
“Mr. Clinton, will you really spare my life if I admit to it?”
“Of course. I am a man of my word, and I won''t deliberately make things difficult for you.” All I''m going
to do is use you as bait to catch the mastermind behind all this!
Rory knew full well that she was at Oscar''s mercy, and that he would pin the crime on her regardless of
whether she admitted to it or not.
Given how powerful Oscar was, a mere white-cor worker like her could never afford to mess with
him.
Rory truly regretted destroying Amelia''s trust in her for such an insignificant mary reward.

After all, offending the Clintons would make life a living hell for her in Tayhaven.
Oh, Oscar... You''re such an excellent man, and I''ve had a crush on you for so long! To think that the
first time I get to speak to you up close would be under such horrible circumstances...
With that in mind, Rory pped herself hard across the face as she said, “Mr. Clinton, I will admit to
everyone in the office tomorrow that I stole the blueprint, and that I betrayed Amelia despite her helping
me out so much.”
Oscar simply stared at her in silence before summoning Hugo, who then brought Rory into another
room.
She was subjected to extreme torture that left no marks on her body whatsoever. However, she was in
so much pain that she could barely stand up by the time Hugo untied her.
He then shoved her into the trunk of a car and dropped her off in a rural area in the countryside.
“Rory, Boss says you will either show up at the office tomorrow for your confession or leave Tayhaven
forever,” Hugo said before driving off.
Rory stared nkly at the deserted area around her as she wondered what she should do. Her phone
and money had been taken, so walking back to the city was her only option.
Her entire body was suffering from excruciating pain, and she had no idea how many hours of walking
it would take for her to reach the office.
