Chapter 858 Put Morgan In His ce


    He tossed the phone back to Larry and instructed coldly. “Release the scandal about Bastille Group’s.


    senior executives that we’ve been holding back.”


    Larry was taken aback. “But… But that’s the leverage we worked so hard to get. Weren’t we supposed


    to save it forter?”


    He had not expected that Dexter would go to such lengths just because of a single photo of Josie.


    “Also… I heard that Morgan is here to attract investment to Wavery. If that’s the case, will we end up


    upsetting those at the top?”


    “You always talk too much when you shouldn’t.” Dexter threw himself onto the couch. A few buttons of


    his shirt were undone, revealing a glimpse of his firm chest. He closed his eyes. There was nowhere to


    vent his pent-up frustration.


    Larry did not dare to stay any longer.


    Morgan had just stepped out of Russell Group when he pulled out his phone from his pocket. The call


    was still connected.


    “Did you hear that?”


    There was silence for half a minute on the other end. The voice sounded somewhat weary. “Was it


    because of the Bastille family that you left Wavery?”


    That was something that Morgan had never spoken about.


    “Yes, there was internal strife within the Bastille family with several major forces at odds. My mother


    didn’t have the power topete, so she had to ensure my safety first.” Morgan recalled those difficult


    days. Perhaps to outsiders, he always seemed carefree and unrestrained.


    Josie found it somewhat amusing. The heartlessness she had imagined turned out to be so


    melodramatic.


    “In the following years, I wasying low.” That was why everything went so smoothly when he returned


    to his homnd.

    Josie let out a coldugh. “Instead of rushing back to Rivodia after your return, you came to Wavery


    and yed psychologist for my friend for several months. Morgan, you’re really something.”


    The sharp angles of his face brightened with a smile. “This proves that you are more important than the


    Bastille family.”


    He said it casually, but Josie did not believe him.


    The bodyguard opened the car door, and Morgan got in. He switched his phone to his other hand and


    said, “But you don’t have to me yourself. You could say that family issues were a catalyst for my


    departure, but they weren’t the main reason.”


    “I understand. The main reason is that you don’t want to get entangled with me,” Josie said with equal


    rity.


    “No matter what you think, Josic, if it wasn’t for my family, I might not have left you behind.”


    The phone was silent. Only the sound of the car moving could be heard.


    Josie did not continue with the conversation.


    Although she was skeptical, his reason indeed brought some bnce to Josie’s heart. It seemed that


    he had not simply abandoned her. He had his own difficulties even if it was only a part of it.


    Right now, she became hesitant even after making the firm decision the night before..


    “Why aren’t you talking?” Morgan asked. At that moment, Ryan passed him a phone from the front and


    whispered, “Something’s wrong, Mr. Bastille.”


    Morgan furrowed his brows but still waited for Josie’s response.


    “Honestly, I could have told you that I left home all those years ago due to family issues and hoped to


    gain your sympathy. But I didn’t. Doesn’t that prove that I’m genuinely honest?”


    His joking remark did indeed lighten Josie’s mood. “Shameless.”


    Hearing theughter in her words, Morgan also began to smile. He took Ryan’s phone, and with just


    one nce, his smile froze.


    “D*mn.”


    Josie’s temper red up again. “I insult you once, and you retort. Morgan, you haven’t changed at all.”


    “No,” Morgan snorted coldly, “I was cursing Dexter. He sure reacted quickly.”


    After he finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone and attended to his work.


    Just moments ago, a scandal involving the top brass of Bastille Group was suddenly exposed online. It


    epassed issues rted to family and finance. The whistleblower’s letter had already been


    delivered to the media, the Department of Justice, and the Tax Bureau.


    Public opinion erupted instantly, and the market value of Bastille Group fell by several hundred million


    in the blink of an eye.
