Chapter 45  Chapter 45 Michaels hatred for Andrew reached its peak, furious that this pretty boy hadpletely destroyed his carefullyid ns.


    Suddenly, there was a loud crash as Pauls ss shattered on the floor.


    Then, he fell to his knees, begging Lauren for mercy through desperate cries.


    Ms.


    Rhodes, Im sorry! Please give me another chance! I truly regret what I did! The other executives were caught off guard, but their surprise quickly turned into anger.


    Youre the culprit? You traitor ! We defended you, and this is how you repay our trust? You must have lost your mind to try poisoning Ms.


    Rhodes! Go to hell! Paul continued kneeling on the floor, sobbing, Ms.


    Rhodes, I didnt want to do it ... Someone


    forced me !  The room fell silent again as Andrew asked, Who forced you? Paul nced nervously


    at Michael, hesitating to speak while Michaels already dark expression turned even more sinister.


    Tell me who forced you, and III protect you, Laurenmanded icily.


    Andrew added, If you confess everything and reveal your mastermind, Ms.


    Rhodes might show mercy.


    Really? Pauls fearful eyes lit up with hope as he began to raise his hand to point at Michael.


    You ungrateful bastard! Rhodes Corporation gave you everything, and this is how you repay us ? Ill kill you! Michael exploded into action before Paul could speak.


    In a rage, Michael grabbed Pauls hair and violently mmed his head against the table.


    Pauls scream filled the room as blood began flowing from his wound.


    Just as Michael prepared to strike again, Andrew kicked him away.


    However, Paul suddenly began convulsing violently, foaming at the mouth before copsing lifelessly. Francesca rushed over to check on him before announcing grimly, He had taken poison beforehand. The impact triggered the toxin, and he died instantly.


    Michael stood up, brushing himself off as he cursed, Well, looks like the coward chose suicide. Good riddance


    We found our culprit ! Why did you silence him? Andrew asked coldly Michaels eyes flickered as he smirked


    I dont know what youre talking about.


    Chapter 45 The other executives shifted ufortably, as even a blind man could tell Michael was acting suspiciously


    Yet, Michael maintained hisposure and insisted, He tried to poison Lauren.


    He deserved to die.


    I assume he knew his fate and chose to end things himself.


    Lauren scoffed


    You expect me to believe hemitted suicide? I dont care what you believe.


    The man is dead and cant testify, and theres nothing you can do about it! Michael replied, unfazed by Laurens questioning


    With that, he kicked aside a chair and stormed toward the exit.


    Lauren watched as he left and gritted her teeth in frustration. With no evidence, she could not take action against him. Oh, Mr.


    Rhodes, Andrew called out suddenly, I forgot to mention that none of the water was actually poisoned ! Michaels face contorted in fury at the doorway, his chest burning with rage.


    He realized he had fallen right into Andrews trap, but there was nothing he could do except swallow his anger and leave.
