Chapter 34 A Tense Confrontation " Chlo , I honestly don't know . M - Mr . Murphy has someone , but I don't know who she is . " Johnson's confidence wavered as he spoke , " M - Matthew , he ... " " You know he has another woman , yet you claim not to know who she is ? Johnson ... " I trailed off . " Chlo , I swear I don't know . He's never brought her around . I've only seen her twice from behind , " Johnson's confession left me conflicted . Either Matthew was highly cautious , or Johnson was lying . However , there were more pressing matters on my mind . I suppressed my frustration , lowered my intensity , and changed the subject , " I need you to do something for me . " As expected , Johnson seemed to relax . He sighed in relief and surrendered , " Sure ! Chlo , just tell me what you need . I'm all in . " 5 " I want the concealed financial reports and the recent list of major clients , " I said firmly . 1 Johnson froze at my request . He was in disbelief . " Chlo ... " " Why ? Is there no such thing ? " I curiously questioned . 2 " Chlo , there's no such thing . I've shown you all the annual reports . " Johnson's expression was bitter as he tried to convince me , " Please , don't put me in a tough spot . I wouldn't lie to you . I've been closer to Matthew these years , but it is all for your company's sake . I swear I'm loyal . " I coldly remarked , " Maybe it's him you're loyal to , not me . Johnson fell silent , and I observed him . He seemed at a loss as I moved my fingers slightly . Suddenly , a mix of moans and profanities echoed throughout the room as I showed my phone screen to him . 2 Johnson was shocked when he saw the video . " Chlo , how could you ?! " 2 " Deliver what I need to my office tomorrow . I want to see fund flows , summaries , details - anything Matthew doesn't want me to see . Be warned , no trying to hide or deceive me with fabricated data . Also , if Matthew even suspects anything , you'll bear the consequences . " 6 I concluded my speech , then turned and left without another word . 1 " Chlo ? Chloe ! " Johnson's voice almost turned desperate . 11 After leaving the penthouse , I felt a weight lift from my chest for the first time in days . I called Ivanna and reminded her , " Don't forget to look into that house's property rights . " 1 " Chlo , did you think I'd forget ? I've already started digging , but that guy's clever . He registered it under Melanie's name ! " 2 " Melanie ? " Disdain washed over me . " It seems like his little sister has some use after all , a convenient shield for when he needs one . He's quite cunning . I'm the outsider in his eyes . " " Exactly ! Matthew's nothing but a scumbag . I thought using his sister might lead us to a breakthrough , a way to unveil that schemer , " Ivanna echoed my frustration , " Are you done on your end ? " " Yes . " " Did he confess ? " Ivanna's impatience was apparent . T " No , he claims he never met Matthew's side piece , " I confessed with a hint of discouragement . 1 1/2 Chapter 34 A Tense Confrontation +25 BONUS " That guy is too secretive . Now I'm even more curious about that vixen's identity . I wonder if she's an angel or a devil in disguise ! " Ivan exclaimed in frustration , " Do you believe Johnson ? " I scoffed . " It doesn't matter who that woman is now . What's important is figuring out just how much money Matthew has . I've been such a fool for believing in him all these years . " I took the elevator up after returning to the company building . When the doors opened , I saw Matthew charmingly escorting a client . It was a woman , no less . 2
