Chapter 860
Brady pounded the table and declared, “Silence! I would now like to announce the results of the investigation. The commander of Cheetah Command, Rowan Torres, who was reported…”
Laura’s attention was elsewhere.
She was Lost in a daydream, imagining a future where Loraine and Rowan were found guilty and sentenced, allowing Ashton to take over as the commander and elevating her own status.
Marina, on the other hand, couldn’t contain her excitement. She jumped up from her seat, interrupting Brady, “Look, I was right! Loraine and Rowan are guilty!”
Brady was forced to pause, and the only sound in the hall was the hum of the microphone.
Marco turned around, giving Marina a cold, piercing gaze.
Marina shrank back but then remembered what Laura had told her. She straightened up and challenged, “What’s the problem? Did I say something wrong?”
Rowan frowned on stage.
Everyone present was lost in their own thoughts.
Ashton was disgusted by Laura and Marina’s excitement. But at the same time, he was also eager to hear the results of the investigation. He prodded impatiently, “Please announce the investigation results as soon as possible.”
Brady shot Ashton a glance before turning to Marina and warning, “Miss, please don’t disrupt the proceedings. This is an official event, and if you say anything that could harm someone’s reputation, you will be held accountable and face legal consequences.”
Marina paled.
“What? What are you talking about? I’m just telling the truth!”
Laura’s heart skipped a beat as she noticed a change in Brady’s attitude. Could it be that Loraine and Rowan would be cleared of all charges? It couldn’t be possible, she reminded herself. After all, Ashton had promised her.
Ignoring Marina, Brady continued with the announcement in a serious tone.
“After our investigation, there is no evidence of an illicit relationship between Rowan and Loraine. Nor are there any illegal transactions between Universe Group and any government officials.”
The audience erupted in an uproar.
What was happening?
Loraine and Rowan were innocent? How could that be?
