Chapter 432: Bombshell? Caught Off Guard!
In the entire Law Group, Director Law refers to the head of the Law Family, Frank Law, but if you hear President Law or Young Master Law in the company, it definitely means Adrian Law.
Because whenever people talk about Tyson Law, there’s always a "little" in front of the name.
For example, Young Mr. Law, or Vice President Law, or The Second Young Master Law.
No matter how you look at it, he’s a notch below Adrian Law.
...
Fiona Vaughn had just been brutally put down by a few office gossips saying the man she married wasn’t even as good as Cecilia Vaughn’s, and she was already green with jealousy.
Just as she was about to flip out, she suddenly overheard those women chattering excitedly.
"I heard, Eldest Miss Vaughn being able to marry President Law, was all because of a contract! It’s a total fake marriage. She didn’t get a cent—in fact, she paid! Word is, the contract is still in President Law’s office!"
"How’s that possible! Fake marriage? Ms. Warner, you have to be kidding!"
The woman called Ms. Warner laughed smugly.
"Why would I lie! You all know I have a bit of a connection with Secretary Lynch from the Eldest Young Master Law’s president’s office! Secretary Lynch is the one who prints all the documents!"
"That fake marriage contract went through Secretary Lynch’s hands! He saw it with his own eyes, every single word—would I lie to you about this? Seriously, in this company, President Law is always so decisive and strict. Who’d dare make up gossip about him!"
A young woman seemed a little hesitant but couldn’t contain her curiosity.
"Ms. Warner, Secretary Lynch always seems really cautious, always tight-lipped. Even if it’s true, why would he risk telling anybody? Besides, isn’t the person President Law trusts most Special Assistant Law, Wyatt?"
"Hey! You little ladies really think I, Ms. Warner, am making this up?"
Ms. Warner dramatically pulled them together and whispered conspiratorially.
"That day, Secretary Lynch had a little too much to drink with me, so it just slipped out! Can you blame him? Lately everyone’s been saying President Law spoils that Vaughn Family’s eldest miss. I think, our president either had his heart broken and jumped into a fake marriage, or he likes men and just found a woman as cover!"
"I think so too! Didn’t everyone say he had a fiancée from Vessaria? And he also has a childhood friend who went to study in Vesperia, supposedly with the last name Bai. In these old aristocratic families, marriage is never that simple."
The others all sighed at this point.
"Yeah, that Eldest Miss Vaughn didn’t even get a wedding. In ancient times, she’d basically be a concubine with no proper title. No one would acknowledge her."
"Who would’ve thought President Law spent all that money, all that effort, maybe just to shut everyone up—pretending to love that so-called wife, but in reality, it’s all for show..."
...
People at Law Headquarters normally don’t gossip, and they wouldn’t dare discuss their superiors’ private affairs.
But thanks to the horse riding competition at the private estate and Adrian Law spoiling his wife hitting the trending topics, plus his absence, a bunch of small fry couldn’t control their curiosity.
After listening to all this, Fiona Vaughn’s delicate brows furrowed instantly.
Contract marriage?
So Adrian Law and that shameless sister of hers are just putting up a front?
Fiona recalled how every time Adrian Law appeared, his gaze was glued to Cecilia Vaughn. If that was just an act, it would be way too convincing.
But those gossipy women sounded so certain, and over all these years, Adrian Law really never had any women around him—in fact, he even threw out a beautiful naked woman once.
Could a man like that really love Cecilia Vaughn?
...
——No matter if it’s true or not, if she could get her hands on the evidence, it would definitely shake Cecilia Vaughn to her core!
Fiona bit her shiny white teeth and stormed over to those office ladies.
"What are you talking about? My sister and Mr. Law—you think you can gossip about them?"
After all, as a celebrity, Fiona could really put on a show of sternness when she wanted to—it was pretty intimidating.
Ms. Warner looked at her and her legs went weak with fright.
They’d not only gossiped about Cecilia Vaughn, but also commented on Fiona and Tyson Law!
"Mi...Miss Fiona, we didn’t say anything..."
Having been with the company for a few years, Ms. Warner knew better—it was better to deny everything than to get caught and admit it.
Fiona let out a sneer, reaching out with her long red-polished nails and casually gliding them over Ms. Warner’s cheek.
"So you’re Sherry Warner from Planning, huh? I’ve heard of you. The Planning Department is about to be restructured—tell me, with your kind of attitude, do you think Mr. Law, who can’t stand any dirt in his eyes, will let you keep your job here?"
Cold sweat broke out on Sherry Warner’s face, more and more.
She wasn’t that scared of Fiona Vaughn herself.
But she couldn’t figure out whether Fiona would take this to Adrian Law.
President Law was always ruthless, and there was never a shortage of talent. With her kind of education, having a job at Law Group was the best she could hope for. The industry agreed—Law Group offered the best prospects and benefits.
Even if the overtime was exhausting, the pay was way better than anywhere else.
...
Seeing Sherry Warner looking afraid, Fiona finally spoke leisurely.
"This Secretary Lynch you mentioned before—who is he?"
"And that so-called fake marriage contract between my sister and Mr. Law—is it real or not?"
The other office ladies all glanced over at Sherry Warner, since she’d opened her mouth first and none of them wanted to be the one to answer.
With all those eyes on her, Sherry Warner immediately fell silent.
"I...I didn’t lie—it was either Secretary Lynch being drunk or misleading me..."
Fiona smirked, but her pretty face was as cold and sharp as a knife.
"Give me Secretary Lynch’s name, and the time and place when you talked. Spill it all. If he tells me something different, you’re finished."
"I might not be an employee at Law Headquarters, but at least Vice President Law is my future husband—our wedding is this weekend!"
Rank rules everywhere—especially in office politics.
Sherry Warner didn’t even dare to breathe. After hesitating and worrying, she finally told Fiona everything that had happened.
...
Once Fiona got the info, she let the office ladies go, strolling away slowly.
When she found Secretary Lynch, Fiona threw her weight around and scared him silly—he spilled immediately, telling her all about Cecilia Vaughn showing up at Adrian Law’s office right after getting out of jail.
Fiona sneered and pulled the fake marriage contract from the file cabinet—the clauses were shocking.
Perfect.
Fiona snapped photo after photo of the documents, then contacted one of the boldest entertainment reporters in the business.
——Big scoop. Do you dare to post it?
