No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0114

Jude’s temples glistened with sweat, and he dared not wipe it off.

He immediately explained, “Mr. Ford, upon investigation, it appears that the person in charge of safeguarding the original draft intentionally lost it at a critical moment. That person was working under Ms. Linda.”

“That’s impossible. Although Linda is arrogant and not particularly fond of Sophia, she wouldn’t harm my interests just to deal with her.” Kendrick was firm. He showed no room for doubt.

It was evident that he was defending Linda.

At this point, Jude, who had been by Kendrick’s side for many years, knew exactly what to do.

He couldn’t bring himself to say more. He wanted to mention how this was similar to the live broadcast incident. The wrong list was made to target Samantha,

However, what difference would it make even if he said it out loud?

Linda was like a younger sister to Kendrick. Despite not having strong feelings for her, he couldn’t tolerate others questioning her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept her by his side for so many years.

After all, they had grown up together. Even though their connection was partly due to Kendrick’s mentorship, it couldn’t negate the bond they formed during their childhood.

“Investigate the matter, starting with the person who lost the draft. Use any means. necessary, overt or covert, to get them to talk,” Kendrick commanded with a

terrifyingly dark expression.

In just half a day, this incident had caused nearly a hundred million dollars worth of loss in his assets. Ford Corporation would be in real danger if it continued without

an immediate resolution.

In this era of finance, any industry’s assets that went public were no longer solely.

owned. The possibility of a change in ownership was always looming.

It could end up like the previous case of Ares Corporation. It went from being owned by a Duncan to a Ford overnight.

“Yes, Mr. Ford, I’ll handle it right away,” Jude promptly agreed, ready to leave the car and take action..

Kendrick believed there was a mole within the company, so he chose to discuss matters in the car.

As for who the mole was, he didn’t want to waste any more effort trying to guess.

As Jude reached for the door handle, his tablet suddenly rang with an email notification.

“Take a look first.”

Kendrick frowned slightly. At this moment, an unexpected interruption seemed far from coincidental.

Jude nodded and sat back down, opening the screen. It was an email from an unfamiliar sender. As he read, Jude’s expression immediately changed.

Evidently, the contents were shocking.

“Mr. Ford…

“Give it to me.”

Kendrick had run out of patience, feeling the irritation of losing control. He reached out for the tablet, and Jude handed it over.

The screen displayed a picture of a half-n*ked Samantha. She was covered with a thin blanket, sleeping next to a man. They seemed to be in a sweet embrace.

The man in the photo was unmistakable.

The email was written in bold red.

“Mr. Ford, your secretary is truly delightful. I’ve had my way with her.”

It was an outright declaration of war.

Kendrick forcefully slammed the tablet against the car window, shattering it into pieces.

His face turned dark. Even Jude, who had been by his side for years, was drenched in cold sweat. He was unable to offer any words of comfort.

Kendrick abruptly opened the car door and marched straight toward the executive. office in the opposite building.

Jude picked up the shattered tablet and hurriedly caught up with him.

As Kendrick stormed ahead, he created a gust of wind with each step. The ten-meter radius around him remained clear. No one dared to approach, fearing his formidable presence.

At that moment, Samantha’s phone chimed with a message. She glanced at her phone.

“Kendrick is on his way. Be careful…”

The striking red words seemed like a verdict, causing her to tremble. Although uncertain of what was happening, she knew it couldn’t be anything good.

Just as she contemplated this, the office door swung open abruptly.

Kendrick, seething with approached her..

anger

He grabbed her wrist and yanked her off the chair without any regard for her resistance. He paid no mind to her high heels.

Half-dragging her, he strode purposefully toward the exit.

Samantha had to jog behind him to avoid stumbling. Despite her attempts to break.

free, Kendrick’s grip remained unyielding.

“Kendrick, what do you think you’re doing?!”

Onlookers kept their distance, afraid to intervene.

Samantha was initially intimidated by his presence and did not react.

However, he acted so out of line in front of everyone. She couldn’t help but feel angry and humiliated after she calmed down.

Kendrick remained silent, dragging her to the parking lot. After opening the car door, he tossed her into the back seat.

Samantha barely kept her balance and almost fell into the car. Her forehead bumped against the compartment. It was so painful that she almost burst into tears.

Before she could sit up properly, the car drove off in a blink of an eye.

Just as she was about to get up, she was thrown back into the seat again as the rapid acceleration caused her to tumble. Her head knocked against the front seat once

more.
