Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Chuckled Silently

The next day, Julia Land went to the company, with Michael Scott walking by her side, murmuring, "Regarding the full agency company, the police have already made the situation clear. However, the person in charge there didn’t mention anyone from the Moore Family nor Finn Hamilton."

The person in charge mentioned by Michael Scott was Finn Hamilton’s college classmate.

Julia Land showed no surprise when she heard the result.

She stepped out of the elevator; it was all within her expectations.

After getting out of the elevator, Julia Land and her colleagues entered the office.

She took the documents from Michael Scott and read through them carefully, "Send someone to bring the former purchasing manager back to the country. How are things with George Fields?"

Tyler Hughes, standing by, quickly reported, "George Fields has ’honestly’ confessed about Finn Hamilton. He was clever enough to record their conversation."

Julia Land nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

She placed the file on the table and said with a faint smile, "Get the entire legal team to take action and prepare to sue those involved. As for PR, they can step up now—let all media and platforms begin reporting."

Tyler Hughes and Michael Scott responded affirmatively and went out to tend to their tasks.

Last night, Shareholder Turner slept a peaceful sleep.

Today, the stock market of Dale Group is filled with wails of despair once again.

He felt extremely relieved that he had sold his shares yesterday.

"Madam, let’s invite Uncle Moore’s wife to dinner another day," Shareholder Turner put down his phone and instructed.

Mrs. Turner understood naturally; they needed to thank Claire Hamilton for her tip, or they would have suffered a great loss.

She nodded, "I will arrange it."

Just then, Shareholder Turner received a call from a shareholder who held a small amount of Dale Group’s shares.

This shareholder had also heard some unfavorable rumors about the company and was vaguely worried.

"I heard you sold your shares yesterday? Is the situation with Dale Group really... that bad?" he asked with a hint of anxiety.

Shareholder Turner said euphemistically, "It’s because I’m planning to invest in a new industry and need capital."

It was obviously an excuse.

The two ended their conversation after a few words.

Shareholder Turner felt a sense of relief; deciding to sell his shares early along with the Moore Family was wise.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Turner went to the balcony and called Claire Hamilton, inviting her for a meal.

On the other end, Claire Hamilton’s mouth curled into a smile, "Of course, I’m free tomorrow. Mrs. Turner, you are too kind."

The two agreed on a time and place to meet.

After hanging up, Claire Hamilton told Uncle Moore about Mrs. Turner’s invitation to dine.

She smiled and said, "It seems Mr. Turner has also sold his shares."

Uncle Moore chuckled, "Good thing he was smart enough to sell them. Lately, netizens are boycotting products on the Dale website."

Claire Hamilton leaned against Uncle Moore, praising him, "It’s because my husband is smart."

Uncle Moore leaned back in his chair, satisfaction in his eyes.

Julia Land now held a lot of company shares, and was not yet at a significant loss.

Claire Hamilton leaned into Uncle Moore’s arms, took out her phone to scroll through the trending searches, and suddenly, she saw a trending topic with the words ’Finn Hamilton.’

She clicked on the trending topic and after reading the message inside, she slapped Uncle Moore’s leg in shock, "Husband, trouble, trouble, my brother has been arrested!"

When Uncle Moore heard this, his face changed immediately, "Finn Hamilton has been arrested? What happened?"

Claire Hamilton immediately showed Uncle Moore the trending search.

Uncle Moore quickly scanned the content of the trending search, growing upset, "Idiot! How could he make himself the front man for wrongdoing? Does he have shit for brains?"

The news of Finn Hamilton inciting George Fields to set fire to incriminate Dale Group was exposed.

This scandal quickly captured public attention and anger.

Claire Hamilton clutched Uncle Moore’s clothes, anxiously asking, "Husband, what do we do? Will my brother be alright?"

Uncle Moore was already furious, he snapped, "The news is out; what do you think? Stupid to death!"

Tears welled up in Claire Hamilton’s eyes, "Husband, think of a way to save him, he’s my only brother."

Uncle Moore took a deep breath, "Now we need to find a way to keep us out of this, not save him!"

He stood up and quickly took out his phone to contact someone to maneuver, ensuring he wouldn’t be implicated in Finn Hamilton’s troubles.

That afternoon, when the stock market closed, Dale Group’s previously plummeting stock price suddenly surged to the limit up.

And Dale Group’s official website also released news at 5:30 PM about the progress of the cloud project in cooperation with Asia Cloud Group.

This meant that it was very likely that Dale Group’s stock price would hit the limit up again tomorrow.

Let’s not mention Uncle Moore’s reaction for now.

When Shareholder Turner saw the news of Dale Group’s resurgence, remembering he had already sold his shares, he clutched his head, feeling almost faint.

He turned and asked Mrs. Turner, "Isn’t Finn Hamilton Uncle Moore’s brother-in-law?"

Mrs. Turner nodded with a gloomy face, "Yes."

Shareholder Turner wasn’t a fool. After some thought, he realized that the whole thing was Uncle Moore’s backstage maneuvering.

He slammed the table in anger, "Fine, fine, fine! Just you wait! I’ll settle this score with Uncle Moore!"

While some are angry, others rejoice.

The shareholder who called Shareholder Turner in the morning to inquire about the situation was glad he hadn’t yet sold his shares.

Meanwhile, George Fields, detained by the police.

He also realized he had been terribly screwed over by that man from Dale Group named Tyler Hughes!

Remembering Tyler Hughes’ appearance, a seemingly harmless newbie to society, turned out to be so treacherous and cunning.

George Fields was both deeply regretful and furious.

There was no way he was so foolish as to hand over the recording of his conversation with Finn Hamilton; if he had, he would also have been arrested for arson.

But now, the recording had been found by the people at Dale Group!

Recollecting their conversations, Tyler Hughes had skillfully guided him, leading him step by step into the trap.

George Fields wished he could get out right now and settle the score with Tyler Hughes!

Tyler Hughes was just sitting down to eat when he suddenly sneezed.

Michael Scott was eating across from Tyler Hughes, he silently moved his dish aside and looked at Tyler Hughes with distaste, "Junior, go eat at another table."

Tyler Hughes rolled his eyes, "How fussy, it’s just a sneeze. I’m not sick. Probably some bastard is cursing me behind my back."

After saying this, he boasted, "The boss praised me today. One day I’ll overtake you and take the position of the boss’s top assistant."

Tyler Hughes had handled the issue with George Fields well, earning Julia Land’s praise and a salary raise.

Being praised by the boss, trusted by the boss, was simply bliss.

Michael Scott smiled and hooked his lips. He didn’t have the heart to tell Tyler Hughes the truth behind it all.

Originally, Michael Scott was in charge of investigating George Fields’ case, but then Julia Land told him to hand it over to Tyler Hughes.

At that time, Julia Land calmly said, "Assistant Hughes looks like a young man who hasn’t been tainted by society, which makes it easier for others to let their guard down around him."

Watching the now smug Tyler Hughes, Michael Scott shook his head, his tone teasing, "Very well, the future top assistant, keep up the hard work."

Tyler Hughes heard this and smirked with pride, "Just you wait, senior."

Julia Land, carrying a plate of vegetarian dishes, saw Michael Scott and Tyler Hughes also having a meal, and walked over.

Since everyone had to work overtime tonight to deal with official matters, Julia Land chose to dine in the company canteen.

James Thompson had wanted to deliver a meal to Julia Land, but she refused.

Michael Scott stood up to pull out a chair for Julia Land.

She smiled and sat down, "Thank you. What are you two talking about?"

Michael Scott said with a laugh, tilting his head slightly towards Tyler Hughes, "Assistant Hughes wants to outdo me and take the position of top assistant."

Julia Land arched an eyebrow, her eyes gleaming teasingly at Tyler Hughes, "Assistant Hughes, you did a great job this time. The company needs people with your spirit. Please keep working hard and strive to take Assistant Scott’s place."

Tyler Hughes scratched his head shyly, his face turning red, "Thank you, boss. I’ll continue to put in the effort!"

Seeing Tyler Hughes blush again, Michael Scott bowed his head, suppressing a chuckle.
