Chapter 816

Chapter 816:

Rosita told Fernanda that something had happened in Zenithium and Beckett’s parents had gone there to deal with it. Rosita had contacted her media contacts in Zenithium and discovered that Jett was under investigation.

Jett, a public servant, was suspected of engaging in profit-making activities in violation of regulations, as well as interfering with public affairs inappropriately. He had already been suspended from his position.

Rosita turned to Fernanda with a meaningful smile and said, “My media friends in Zenithium say the whole place has gone rotten. The officials are corrupt, and the people suffer for it. They’re dissatisfied but have nowhere to turn as the officials continue to live like kings. They’re wondering why Jett is suddenly under investigation, guessing he may have offended a big shot.”

Fernanda took a sip of her latte and smirked. “This is nothing but the inescapable cycle of karma.”

Rosita leaned back in her chair and stared intently at Fernanda. “Was this your doing?” she asked.

“No,” Fernanda said, shaking her head. “Although I wish it were, I don’t possess that sort of power.”

“Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence? Beckett got into trouble, and now his father is too. It’s as if someone doesn’t want to let Beckett off the hook.” Rosita twirled a pen in her hand and thoughtfully added, “If not you, who else could it be?”

Rosita’s words suddenly caused something to click in Fernanda’s mind. This was too much of a coincidence. Jett had been operating this way for years, and then suddenly, he was under investigation. Something or someone must have triggered it.

Her mind immediately went to Cristian. Could he be behind this? He was certainly capable of it.

Fernanda called Cristian after leaving Bright Lights Media, but there was no answer.

Cristian had told her a while back that he was going on a business trip to discuss a project, which would take about half a month to a month. During this time, Cristian had been quite busy, and their communication had not been frequent. Now that she thought about it, it had been weeks since they last spoke.

Fernanda suddenly felt a strange sense of frustration. She took a deep breath and told herself it was no big deal. Cristian was probably busy with meetings and didn’t have time to answer his phone.

However, she received the same response when she called again that evening.

Now, Fernanda became restless.

Wendy peered over her magnifying glass, watching as Fernanda wore a path in the carpet with her pacing. “Hey, what’s got you so worked up?”

Fernanda immediately told her about her concerns regarding Cristian’s radio silence.

“Oh dear, that’s not right,” Wendy said.

Fernanda’s expression grew even more grim at this.

“Don’t go thinking the worst now. It could be spotty service, or maybe he’s jetting across time zones. You’re well aware of how those international flights are.”

“There are countless dead zones during the journey, making communication a real headache.”
