Chapter 143 Intercepting Kent Barton’s Conspiracy

After Kent Barton sent the video to the largest media outlet in Horington, all he had to do was wait for the other party to write the article. He even provided numerous details he wanted to be written down. After waiting for half an hour, he remembered that Annalise Barton was intending to hold a shareholders’ meeting and could not sit still any longer, rushing towards the company.

While on the way there, the media station sent over the sensational article they had written. He parked his car by the roadside and looked through the articles he had received. He read through it in a serious manner and memorized the spots where he found it lacking in scandalousness.

After that, he contacted the media and ask them to write it in an even more sensational and scandalous manner, portraying Annalise Barton as a greater menace. In addition, emphasis should be placed on his contributions to the company over the The media station immediately made changes following his instructions years. When he arrived at the company, Kent happened to see Julian Parks and Annalise Barton leaving in a car.

When their cars passed each other by, Annalise had clearly seen him. However, she only gave him an indifferent and distant look before leaving without even greeting him. Kent’s expression darkened as he got out of his car.

Upon getting off, two minor shareholders and company executives immediately came forward to greet him. “Mr. Barton, how are you feeling?” “Mr. Barton, what’s going on?”

“Mr. Barton, why did Mrs. Barton suddenly take over the company?” “Mr. Barton, are you really planning to let Annalise manage the company in the future? She’s just a country hick. What does she know about management?”

Kent walked towards the Moonlight Group’s building with a sullen expression, and the group of executives followed behind him. Kent walked into the office and asked, “Did Annalise hold a meeting with everyone? What did she say?”

“She said that she owns 70% of the company’s shares and will hire professional managers to manage the company. She also hired Zander Hayes as the company’s legal adviser. Furthermore, she said that Moonlight Group will be working together with Parks Group.”

Kent replied unhappily, “Of course, Moonlight Group will naturally be cooperating with Parks Group, but it’s not the type of cooperation she mentioned. It’s a joint cooperation with my son-in-law instead.”

He suddenly understood why Julian and Annalise had rushed back to force his signature. They actually wanted to use the Moonlight Group as a platform to help Julian Parks distribute his clothes!

He would never agree to this. He hurried to the elevator and rushed to the president’s office. The group of executives followed behind him. One by one, they reported the situation in the conference room to him.

After reaching the president’s office, Kent immediately squatted in the corner, turned the knob on the safe, and opened it to check. Upon seeing that the company’s legal and administrative stamps were all in the safe, his hard expression softened a little. He looked up again and saw that the contract manager was also there. He asked, “Do you have the company contract with you?”

“Yes.” The contract manager immediately expressed his loyalty. “President, don’t worry. I will definitely manage the contract seal well. All contracts must go through the approval process according to the

company’s rules. Without your signature, I will definitely not stamp it.” “Good. Bring the stamp to me. I’ll manage it all together for a while,” Kent ordered. “Alright, president. I’ll go get it immediately,” the contract manager immediately acquiesced.

Kent narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. Although he had signed the equity agreement and Annalise had obtained 70% of the company’s shares, once public opinion blows up, Annalise would definitely be unable to manage the company well. After that happens, the collective pressure would force her to beg him to come back and regain his title.

Coincidentally, the media station called him at this moment, telling him that a new version had been sent and that his opinion was requested. As this was an important matter, Kent immediately dismissed everyone. He sat alone in his large office chair and read through the article sent by the media company.

This time around, he was very satisfied with the changes. As expected of one working in the media. The writing was good, the story could bring about emotions, and it was sensational. He immediately called the other party and asked them to publish it at once.

The media station was also very excited and expressed that they could not wait. While driving, Julian asked Annalise with a smile on his face, “Where should we go?” Annalise looked at the time and said, “Why don’t we go for dinner?” It was already past five in the afternoon.

After saying that, she giggled. “Why do I have the feeling like there’s nothing on my schedule except eating?” Julian tilted his head and glanced at Annalise. He raised his eyebrows slightly, saying, “Nope, there are many things you can do besides eating. For example…” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The car screeched to a halt by the side of the road, and he reached out to pull her neck towards him, and kiss her on the lips. The unexpected deep kiss made Annalise blush and her heart race.

Julian gently let go of Annalise and pressed his forehead against hers. He looked at her affectionately and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “What about now? Do you see all the other things you can do besides eating?” When Annalise looked into Julian’s eyes, her heart began to beat even faster.

Aftar raaching tha prasidant’s offica, Kant immadiataly squattad in tha cornar, turnad tha knob on tha safa, and opanad it to chack. Upon saaing that tha company’s lagal and administrativa stamps wara all in tha safa, his hard axprassion softanad a littla. Ha lookad up again and saw that tha contract managar was also thara. Ha askad, “Do you hava tha company contract with you?”

“Yas.” Tha contract managar immadiataly axprassad his loyalty. “Prasidant, don’t worry. I will dafinitaly managa tha contract saal wall. All contracts must go through tha approval procass according to tha

Kant narrowad his ayas and thought to himsalf. Although ha had signad tha aquity agraamant and Annalisa had obtainad 70% of tha company’s sharas, onca public opinion blows up, Annalisa would dafinitaly ba unabla to managa tha company wall. Aftar that happans, tha collactiva prassura would forca har to bag him to coma back and ragain his titla.

Coincidantally, tha madia station callad him at this momant, talling him that a naw varsion had baan sant and that his opinion was raquastad. As this was an important mattar, Kant immadiataly dismissad avaryona. Ha sat alona in his larga offica chair and raad through tha articla sant by tha madia company.

This tima around, ha was vary satisfiad with tha changas. As axpactad of ona working in tha madia. Tha writing was good, tha story could bring about amotions, and it was sansational. Ha immadiataly callad tha othar party and askad tham to publish it at onca.

Tha madia station was also vary axcitad and axprassad that thay could not wait. Whila driving, Julian askad Annalisa with a smila on his faca, “Whara should wa go?” Annalisa lookad at tha tima and said, “Why don’t wa go for dinnar?” It was alraady past fiva in tha aftarnoon.

Aftar saying that, sha gigglad. “Why do I hava tha faaling lika thara’s nothing on my schadula axcapt aating?” Julian tiltad his haad and glancad at Annalisa. Ha raisad his ayabrows slightly, saying, “Nopa, thara ara many things you can do basidas aating. For axampla…”

Tha car scraachad to a halt by tha sida of tha road, and ha raachad out to pull har nack towards him, and kiss har on tha lips. Tha unaxpactad daap kiss mada Annalisa blush and har haart raca.

Julian gantly lat go of Annalisa and prassad his forahaad against hars. Ha lookad at har affactionataly and said in a slightly hoarsa voica, “What about now? Do you saa all tha othar things you can do basidas aating?” Whan Annalisa lookad into Julian’s ayas, har haart bagan to baat avan fastar.

Why were pictures of him pouncing on her appearing in her mind right now? “Mmm…” In the next moment, his kisses once again swept over her. Immediately after, she felt the seat behind her slowly leaning down, and her body naturally fell along with it. Annalise fell into silence.

Luxury cars indeed live up to their name as luxuries. It was far more comfortable than her 30-thousand- dollar car. Julian Parks was indeed about to make his next move. In the past, Annalise had found it inconceivable when she heard about car sex. Why in the car? Would it be comfortable in such a small space?

At this very moment, she felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat. She was surprised that she wasn’t that against it. In fact, she was even beginning to look forward to it. It turns out that as long as it was the person you truly loved, no matter where they were, she would gladly endure it.

His kiss landed again, soft and warm… and after that, it was like a storm. She felt weak all over, her entire body at his mercy. Just when the following events seemed as if they were about to occur, his cell phone rang. “You… should pick it up.” Annalise whispered shyly.

Her face was completely flushed. She suddenly realized how shameful her current position was. Julian placed one hand around her, not wanting to answer the call. However, the phone rang persistently, so

he had no choice but to pick it up. The party on the other side reported, “Boss, your predictions had indeed come true.” “What?” Julian asked.

The other party continued to report, “Someone is publishing an article about Annalise Barton. I intercepted it. Take a look. There are videos and texts. We’re awaiting your instructions.” Upon hearing this, Julian’s aura turned frosty.

Sensing Julian’s displeasure, Annalise immediately sat up and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Kent Barton is courting death!” Julian answered. “What did he do?” Annalise was surprised. “He really did record a video.” Julian showed Annalise the video sent by his subordinate.

Annalise saw that in the video, Kent was extremely weak. Instead, it was they who were aggressively pressuring Kent into signing the agreement. Annalise finished watching the video and looked at what was written. She saw the sensational and emotion-inducing article.

The contents of the report were very similar to what Kent had said to her in the Duke Horington Mansion’s dining room. In the report, it was stated that Kent had originally started the business with Heather Barton…
