NovelEnglishChapter 0653 I didn't know all the details about what had happened over the past couple of days, so I persuaded Nicholas to explain while we were in the car.
Nicholas said the Fisher Corporation had been eerily quiet, with everyone going about their business as usual. Despite the major scandal surrounding The Secret, there wasn't even much news coverage everything had been suppressed. "How powerful is the Fisher family's backing? The Secret caused such a huge stir, yet there's no mention of Nelson being taken in for investigation." Thinking about the people who had sacrificed themselves for me, my eyes reddened. How much must the righteous pay to ensure the wicked were brought to justice? Nicholas' calm gaze turned to the window. "If the Fisher Corporation were that easy to topple, it wouldn't do justice to Nelson's reputation after all these years of hard work." He continued in a steady tone, "Nelson is very clever. Officially, the owner of The Secret is not him. The so-called boss has already been taken in by the police, while he sits back in his office watching the show." My heart sank.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo that's how it was. Even if everyone in the world knew Nelson was the real owner of The Secret, it didn't really matter. What mattered was whose nwas on the official documents.
My expression grew heavy. Seeing this, Nicholas tried to comfort me. "This hasn't cwithout repercussions for Nelson. At the very least, a few companies that were once close to the Fisher family are now keeping their distance. "Sof his projects are currently stalled. Right now, he can only wait for the storm to pass." I paused for a moment. "Then don't let the storm pass." "Alright." Nicholas took my hand and placed it on his lap, his expression as calm as ever.
Looking at him, I felt a pang of gratitude. He didn't have to get involved in this mess-I knew he was doing it for me.
Suddenly, he smiled. "I have snews to share. We might be able to take sinterest first." I looked at him, signaling him to continue.
"Do you remember that piece of land from Jones Corporation?" "Of course." "Nelson once treasured it. He originally planned to put it up fore tender, but now, seeing that everyone with any sense is avoiding him, he's been forced to put it up for public auction.
en "There won't be many bidders, but since it's originally yours, you can take it back at a bargain price he needs the money." I thought for a moment. "How low is the bargain price? I don't want to spend much." That land was my mother's, something she gave away to protect me. Nelson was the one in the wrong. Now I'd have to pay to get it back? My expression darkened.

nose. "Didn't you always say you're rich? How cyou're suddenly a penny-pincher? Why don't you callhoney, and I'll buy it back for you, no matter the cost."
I shot him a glance, unable to joke around at a tlike this. He didn't understand, ifit were a normal transaction, I wouldn't mind spending money. But it involved Nelson! The thought of all those photos ofhe had hung in his room, staring at them day and night, sent a chill down my spine.
Sensing my anger, Nicholas quickly grabbed my arm and leaned his face against it. "Even if you don't callthat, I'll buy it for you. Leave it to me!" I pushed his head away slightly. "Stop fooling around." He sighed, muttering under his breath, "Ah, women... so hard to please." Ignoring his antics, I looked at him seriously. "Nicholas, I have something to discuss with you."
