?Chapter 761:


    “Joselyn Thorpe has been named the acting president of the Thorpe Group, following a vote at the shareholders’ meeting.”


    Talon and Erick, upon returning to their private office, looked visibly upset.


    In a moment of frustration, Talon threw aptop to the floor.


    Crash! Theptop shattered.


    “Dad, what’s our next move?” Erick, grinding his teeth, was clearly distressed.


    “I didn’t see iting, Kaiden bringing Joselyn back.”


    “What do you expect me to say?” Talon replied, his anger palpable. “This is on you for not measuring up.”


    At the shareholders’ meeting, the focus was on Erick’s fabricated degree. The shareholders feared that Erick’s scandals could be the target of criticism, potentially causing the stock price to plummet once more.


    As such, most shareholders, except for a few of Talon’s staunch supporters, favored Joselyn for president.


    Talon had not anticipated this oue after all his scheming.


    The only silver lining, he thought, was that Kaiden was also in a tough spot.


    Meanwhile, Ellie was far from pleased with the news of Joselyn’s presidency.


    She looked uncertainly at Kaiden, who was at his desk.


    “What’s the matter?” Kaiden sensed Ellie’s concern.


    “This means the Thorpe Group is stabilizing. But we still have our own issues to address,” Ellie said.


    The media frenzy around the GT Group showed no signs of abating.


    “The real issue at hand remains. Kaiden, I don’t want you facing undue criticism.” Ellie’s directness was umon.


    Kaiden responded with a smile, “El, I’ve told you my brother died in a fire, and I wasn’t the one who set it. Yes, I was thest to see him.”


    ???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    He paused, setting down his pen. “I’m not a murderer or a psychopath. The fire happened, and so did the psychiatric evaluation.”


    “Why a psychiatric evaluation in the first ce? Wasn’t the truth uncovered?”


    “They investigated, but it led nowhere. Jorge wouldn’t let his family be embroiled in scandal. A psychiatric evaluation was deemed the simplest solution.”


    Kaiden offered no further exnation.


    Ellie understood two things clearly.


    First, Jorge had not prioritized solving Leo’s death, leading to a hasty closure of the case.


    Second, Kaiden’s mother, Brisa, was sidelined in the matter. Had she been involved, Kaiden wouldn’t have been scapegoated with a mental health diagnosis.


    Ellie, her eyes filled with sympathy, embraced Kaiden tightly.


    The truth about the past was locked away with the deceased.
