Chapter 287 The repercussions 1
Finally, the fiasco of Mariana and Liam’s relationship had died down.
Then James, Liam, Jacob, and Leonardo began their revenge on the culprits involved.
James had investigated the matters thoroughly and identified all the culprits involved.
The Preston family.
Julie and Jessi.
His parents.
Steven Bryce – the ex-employee of National Media Station and a family member of James’s ex – Alice Moss.
Liam’s supervisors had filed a complaint against the media companies who had published such incorrect news bringing shame to their troops.
Liliana asked NMS to do a feature on it and explained the meaning of – responsible journalism. Spreading news without verifying its authenticity and ruining people’s low-key life was against journalism ethics.
She let everyone in NMS know she expected better behavior from NMS and would not tolerate such blunders.
Thankfully, because she intervened in Steven Bryce’s case and the audits that followed – only good, only the responsible people were left on the job. Hence, they had not featured this story.
One of the journalists went to dig deeper and found Steven Bryce’s involvement in the matter. They did a feature on it and brought the conspiracy to the forefront.
In turn, the police investigated Steven Bryce. They uncovered more of his scandals and even implicated the Moss family.
The Moss family slowly went downhill and was poised to sell their business anytime soon.
On the other hand, Leonardo, James, and Jacob cut off all business associations with the J sisters and their family or related business.
In their attempt to springboard their status and family fortune, the two sisters ended up depleting it entirely. But they were undeterred and still held hopes of roping someone from the upper class for their ambitions.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Liam and his grandmother added more restrictions. Old Madam Preston slimmed down their primary family and removed the culprits.
She made it clear that she was healthy and she was in charge. She would not tolerate people stepping over others to gain benefits.
The Preston family was known as a righteous family for several generations. She wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin that glory under her watch.
The ones who had cooperated with Julie to instigate the Military to force Liam and Mariana together not only did not receive any benefits but also lost their minor privileges.
Ultimately, they punished everyone except for the Millers.
One day James knocked on Liliana’s door when she was working.
After half an hour of discussion, James left their house. He felt he was carrying an enormous burden and hoped Liliana could help him lift it.
Mariana, Liam, and Kyle had moved to the new Villa they had prepared for them.
Jacob would often crash at their place. But James had respectfully kept his distance.
A few days later, Liliana and Jonathan went to visit the Millers. Jonathan had always been respectful of them despite their frosty relationship with James.
Liliana hadn’t visited them after returning to P city. That visit was long overdue.
Liliana had, as usual, brought antique items as gifts to show her respect.
They chatted in a stiff environment. The Millers couldn’t figure out why those two were visiting.
They knew about their fallout with James. Besides, Liliana was Mariana’s best friend.
Mrs. Miller was agitated. She wondered if they were there to mock or rub salt in their wounds.
However, she held her temper. She did not want to provoke the combined forces of Petrova-Smith.
However, one conversation led to another, and Mrs. Miller could no longer hold herself back.
She had been in a bad state since James left home. He was her only child, and she was dealing with her conflicted emotions.
From anger and vindication to guilt and panic!
Relieved and hopeful to scared and resentful!
She did not know how to feel about the entire thing.
