Chapter 21 INVESTORS


    “Of course there is. And we already know who is the person behind all these.”


    The media started to murmur and sh cameras again.


    This is a big scoop for everyone. They will not miss it for the world.


    The legal representative started to exin my ims.


    “After themotion in the LHI resorts mediaunch, ourpany started to investigate. It’s


    obvious that it was well nned and someone is behind this.” He started his speech.


    “We look on the bank ount of the person who maliciously used Ms. Cabello of doing dirty


    tactics to get the LHI Resort Project.”


    “And we found this on his bank ount three days before the said event.”


    The monitor showed them the bank transaction of the person he mentioned but it didn’t reveal the


    person who transferred the money to the said bank ount.


    “Also, days after the event, he was seen meeting Mr. Ventura of RV Engineering and Architectural


    Services.” He revealed.


    “Are you saying that Mr. Ventura of RV Engineering and Architectural Services is the one behind all


    this issue?” One of the media people asked.


    “Why will they do that? Isn’t RV Engineering and Architectural Services the one who did the LHI


    Hotels project here in the Philippines?” Another person from the media asked.


    Ulie nodded. “Yes, they were the ones who got the LHI Hotels project. And that fact gave you


    already the idea why they did this to Ms. Cabello’spany.”


    Then a video recorder shes on the monitor.


    It was his meeting with Mr. Ventura.


    “First of all, I am sorry to hear about the LHI resorts issue.” It was Mr. Ventura.


    “Well, I guess this thing will not happen if we were the ones who got this project.” He added.


    “What do you mean?” Ulie asked.


    Mr. Ventura smile as if he was happy with Ulie’s response.


    “You know CIC is a namelesspany. I understand that they want theirpany to be known but


    using their body to get this project is way too immoral. When we got the LHI hotel project, we never


    had this kind of issue, nor scandal.” He said, full of insult.


    Ulie clenched his fist.


    “And who told you that she was using her body to get this project?” Ulie asked in a cold voice.


    He flinched. “W-well, it’s obvious s-she got pregnant with your child. Or are you even sure that the


    kid was yours?”


    “Are you insulting the Escarrer family?” Ulie said in a menacing voice.


    He shivers. “N-no, Mr. Escarrer, I never meant that.”


    “My kids are Escarrer. Doubting them as an Escarrer bloodline is already an insult. I think you push


    your luck too much, or should I say death?”


    He turned pale. “M-Mr. Escarrer-”


    “Did you think that I will never find out that you were the one behind all this issue?”


    His eyes widen. “No, Mr. Escarrer. I will never do that to you.”


    Ulie smirked. “You are already busted, Mr. Ventura. And for your information, Ellie never uses her


    body to get this project. The namelesspany that you are saying is way too goodpared to


    yourpany skills. They got the project fair and square.”


    “What I have with Ellie is none of your business. You attacked the Escarrer, and I guess you already


    know what will happen to yourpany.”


    “Mr. E-escarrer, please forgive me. I will clear this issue. Just please spare mypany.”


    “Toote, Mr. Ventura.”


    “Goodbye, Mr. Ventura. Expect our response from attacking Escarrer.”


    “But I never attacked you. It was all for Ms. Cabello.”


    Ulie smirked. “Ellie is already an Escarrer.”


    His eyes widen. He gets down to my knees and begs.


    “Mr. Escarrer, I didn''t know. I was foolish. I will fix the issue. Please forgive me and spare my


    company.” He continues to beg.


    The video ended. It was enough evidence to prove that he was the one behind this.


    Then the monitor shes the bank ount transaction earlier, this time it revealed the person who


    sent the money to the receiver. It was none other than Mr. Ventura of RV.


    “From all the evidence that we have shown you, it was very clear that Mr. Ventura of RV


    Engineering and Architectural Services is the one behind all malicious usations towards Ms.


    Cabello and herpany.” My legal representative began to speak.


    “As Cabello International Corporation legal representative, we will take legal actions toward the said


    company. We will also charge them for harming thepany and Ms. Cabello’s reputation. We are


    not open to any negotiation.” My legal representative said in full conviction.


    “And as for LHI, we are now canceling all our project or business transaction with RV Engineering


    and Architectural Services. We are also putting them on our blocked list ofpanies. Any


    company who will transact with them will also be in LHI blocked listpanies.” Ulie said with


    finality.


    “And as for others who were involved in his scheme, you already know what will happen to all of


    you,” Ulie added.


    The media flinched. They knew that they are also responsible for making this issue this big and


    scandalous.


    “Ms. Cabello now that the issue has been cleared, were you expecting that the investor who left you


    wille back and invest again in yourpany?” A reporter asked.


    I smirked. “I wanted them toe back at first.” I honestly told them.


    “But I realized, do I need to keep those kinds of investors who are only with me when I was doing


    good, and will not have a second thought of leaving me when I face a problem?”


    I looked at Ulie and smile.


    “Ulie made me realize that those kinds of investors are not worth keeping.”


    “Is that the reason why Mr. Hearts is here? Is it safe to assume that Mr. Hearts will be investing in


    yourpany?” A reported butted in.


    I know that the media are curious about his presence in this press conference.


    He was not involved in the issue. Having his presence here is a big question mark.


    “You are all aware of my partnership with LHI Hotels. I will also be partnered with them in LHI


    Resort, that being said, I was able to work with CIC and personally saw how great they are in their


    field.” Nick started his speech.


    “I am here because I will be announcing two important things.”


    “One is that Hearts Restaurant Group will be having a big project in Tagaytay. And CIC will be the


    one who will handle the project. Despite the rumor or scandal made by RV, I have seen them work,


    enough for me to entrust them this project.” He announced.


    You will see the nonstop shing of the camera and reporters busy typing on theirptops because


    of Nick’s announcement.


    “You don’t need to worry about Ms. Cabello’s credibility. We can run a pregnancy test for you to be


    assured that she got the project fair and square.” Nick joked.

    Ulie red at him. I shook my head and hold Ulie’s hand. He looks pissed and ready to punch his


    friend because of that joke.


    The media on the other handughed because of Nick’s joke.


    Nick returns with his serious face. “The second announcement is what you guys specte awhile


    ago. I will be one of the major investors of CIC.”


    “CIC now has two major investors. One is Mr. Nichs Hearts and the second investor is none


    other than Mr. Ulysses Kade Escarrer.” I formally announced.


    When Ulie heard about Nick investing in mypany, he sulks because he wanted to be the first


    one to invest in mypany.


    He was nning to offer me that after this conference. He was pissed hearing that Nick offered it


    first.


    I don’t have any choice but to allow him to be one of my major investors.
