Chapter 2201

Jared stared at Alden’s photo with an extremely disgusted look in his cold eyes. Back then, this man

had smashed the chess pieces right in front of Ellen during the finals.

Selena was beginning to fear now, for she saw that all the news articles related to Ellen were gone.

This meant that Jared had taken action.

Selena didn’t want to get involved, much less bear the responsibility for it.

Ellen’s reputation was considered ruined at this point, so even if the news articles were gone, it was

enough to force Ellen out of the chess community. From today onward, Ellen wouldn’t dare participate

in official competitions, and her championship would become the joke of the chess community.

Selena was quite satisfied with the outcome, feeling that it was worth sacrificing her body in exchange

for such results.

In the meeting room, Jared was seated at the front while a group of people sat before him. They were

all concerned about one thing, which was to find the culprit behind the scenes who wanted to defame

Ellen.

At that moment, they had gathered enough. information to paint a complete picture.

“Young Master Jared, these are records of Alden Thomas’ financial situation. This is his call history and

duration, as well as the people he met recently at the hotel.”

“Based on the people he’s met in the past few days, we carried out a thorough investigation. These are

all people who have contacted him before.”

“According to our speculation, it’s highly possible that Alden wanted to get revenge on Miss Reiss

because he couldn’t accept the fact that he lost.”

“President Presgrave, shall we employ our special methods?”

“For the moment, no. Keep investigating.” Jared shook his head. He had to be a little more careful

since Ellen’s reputation was involved. He wanted to clear Ellen’s name and restore her reputation as

well.

If he just wanted to exact revenge, he had all the methods in the world to do it.

Just then, Jared’s phone rang. He glanced at it, gentleness instantly filling his eyes as he took his

phone over to the French windows. He answered the call and said tenderly, “Hey. Are you going to

sleep already?”

“Is the investigation still underway?” On the other end of the line, Ellen asked as her heart ached for

Jared. It was already 9.00PM. “Don’t worry, we’ll find the truth very soon,” Jared comforted her.

“Just forget it if you can’t find anything. I won’t stoop to their level.” Ellen didn’t want him to work too

hard either.

“I’ve said before that I won’t let anyone bully you anymore. I’m a man of my word.” Jared would never

let those people off the hook.

He would make all of Ellen’s bullies pay the steep price for it. Even if they couldn’t be punished by law,

he could still employ his methods.

Just then, Stanley’s phone rang. He reached out and picked up the call. “Hello. Did you get any

information from eavesdropping?”

“Send it to me.”

Not long after Stanley listened to a portion of the recording, he spoke to Jared, who was still on the

phone. “Young Master Jared, we’ve found something. Listen to this.”

Jared glanced at Stanley, then said gently over the phone, “I’ll go home to you as soon as possible.”

“Okay, don’t overwork yourself,” Ellen said in concern. After hanging up, Jared sat down at the table

and listened to the audio recording. Two drunken voices were heard speaking.

“Jay, I helped you this time, so you’d better thank me properly.”

“Of course, I will.” “That girl is outstanding, though. If I play against her in the future, I’m honestly not

sure if I’d be able to win.”

“I’ll make use of this incident to bar her from entering competitions, and you won’t ever see her at any

matches in the future.” “That’s great. I’ll have hopes of getting first place next year.”

“You’ve helped me this time, but you’re also helping yourself too!” “I wouldn’t have helped you so

readily otherwise!” “Thank you, thank you so much.”

After the playback ended, Stanley continued, “President Presgrave, a subordinate recorded this while

sending the two back to the hotel. Looks like Alden was just a pawn, and the real person who wanted

to ruin Miss Reiss’ reputation was the judge named Jay Harris. He probably has a grudge against her.”

Jared frowned a little. The recording was proof that Alden was helping Jay destroy Ellen’s reputation,

so who was the one behind Jay? “Keep investigating,” Jared said in a low voice.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the hotel, the two drunk men staggering into the building had no idea that

the driver of the taxi they took wasn’t the real driver at all. The real driver was sitting in the black car

tailing them.
