Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1084

Titus' mind was hoping for him to pass out, but his body was doing the opposite by keeping him sober, and he was

forced to listen.

On usual days, he would faint on trivial matters and be sent to the hospital immediately, but it looked like it wasn't

happening anytime soon when he was desperate at this time.

He had never hated himself this much for his body condition, which was ruining things at bad times from time to

time. It's a nuisance.

Chief Dunlap was studying Titus with a meaningful look, as Titus' face turned pale and beads of sweat fell from his

forehead.

Titus' reaction was a confirmation of his guess. The employees are speaking the truth, or else Titus won't react with

such nervousness and anxiety but get angry. After all, a person normally won't bear others spreading rumors of him

and slandering his name.

However, Titus' expression was mixed with guilt and nervousness, other than anger. Therefore, Chief Dunlap

couldn't help but notice that and wondered, There must be something going on. He won't have that look if he's

innocent.

Meanwhile, the conversation between the two employees went on.

"Simon, you mentioned many miners were killed in the mine collapse. How many were they exactly?"

"I don't remember the numbers, but I'm sure more than ten died in the accident."

"More than ten deaths?"

"Yes. There's a law in our country prohibiting the company from continuing mining once there are more than ten

deaths during the process. Besides, the company must report the cases to the authorities. Our president indeed

made the report, but the company didn't stop the mining back then. Obviously, not only did the president hide the

truth that overexploitation was the cause of the mine collapse in the first place, he also lied about the number of

deaths. He wanted to avoid the miners being prohibited to enter the cave, and continued to exploit the resources

until he made the most value out of them."

"Tsk! The president is crueler than I thought."

"That's a common trait of entrepreneurs, though. Enough of the topic. The elevator has arrived. Let's go."

Ending the conversation, the two men stepped into the elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, the men

turned to each other and exchanged a meaningful smile.

The group turned around the corner and entered the lobby once the elevator began to descend.

Chief Dunlap watched the number on the elevator floor display decreasing before turning to Titus, who was

clenching his fists tightly and deep in thought. Squinting his eyes, Chief Dunlap began coldly, "President Gray, I

guess you heard everything, aren't you? Do you have anything to tell me?"

Titus' eyes widened at that as he answered in panic, "Chief Dunlap, it's not true. You shouldn't listen to them.

They're merely trying to ruin my reputation. Please believe me. I'm telling the truth."

He reached out his hand to grab the other man's arm.

Chief Dunlap was aware of Titus' attempt as he lifted his arm to avoid Titus. Feigning a smile at Titus, he answered

dismissively, "President Gray, I'll find out whether the two were speaking the truth or not by myself, so stop wasting

your energy in the attempt to earn my trust. Anything can wait until the investigation results are out. That's all for

today. I have to go."

Once he finished his words, he stepped into another elevator, followed by his men.

Titus didn't try to follow and didn't dare to do so at all. He could only stand there while watching the group leave.

His body was stiff as he had goosebumps.

As soon as the elevator door shut before him, the strength that had been supporting him left his body as his legs

buckled and he fell backward.

His subordinate shrieked before rushing over to help him stand.

"President Gray! What happened? Are you okay?"

"President Gray, I'll help you up."

At last, Titus rose to his feet with his assistant's help. As his limbs were still feeble and he was unable to stand firmly

in such a condition, he leaned onto his assistant for balance. The blood had drained from his face and he stared at

the void, mumbling, "We're doomed... We're really doomed..."

Hearing Titus' mumbling on the side, the assistant could feel his stomach churning as his expression sank. He knew

all of Titus' dirty secrets being the man's special assistant, including the mine collapse in the two men's discussion a

moment ago.

He was stuck in the same boat as Titus. If Titus was exposed and brought down by the authorities, the assistant's

outcome would be the same, as he was Titus' right-hand man. Therefore, he was panicking and anticipating his

future, just as his superior did at the moment.

However, the assistant's priority for the moment was to calm Titus down. After all, Titus had to stay strong as the

backbone of Triforce Enterprise. If Titus fell, the whole company would fall too.

Taking a deep breath, the assistant suppressed his emotions as he consoled, "President Gray, you don't need to

worry yourself even if Chief Dunlap intends to initiate an investigation. A long time has passed since the accident.

We've made sure not to leave any traces back then, so Chief Dunlap wouldn't find much evidence even if he tried.

They can't put us behind bars."

Fortunately, the mine collapse was an accident that happened a long time ago instead of a recent case. Or else,

they wouldn't have the time to clean up the scene. The authorities would find solid evidence of their crimes and

send them to prison. At worst, they would be facing a death sentence.

After all, it wasn't about "more than ten deaths" as one of the men said. Fifteen people were killed in the mine

collapse.

It was counted as a serious crime. Along with the overexploitation and continuation of mining, they no doubt would

be sentenced to death once arrested.

Once again, the burden was slightly lifted from the assistant's mind as he was glad that the accident was an old

case. Besides, they had made sure to clear everything at the scene.

Even if Chief Dunlap could find something to confirm his suspicions, he would never find conclusive evidence.

In other words, they wouldn't be arrested or face a death sentence, but they would need to spend a lot of money to

pay the authorities to avoid the consequences. However, it was nothing compared to being put in prison or death.

Those words managed to ease Titus' mind as he thought, He's right. We've taken care of the scene. No need to

panic.

Titus was feeling calmer thinking about it as he regained his strength. Even though he was still pale, he was better

than a while ago, but his expression was cold when he ordered, "Find out the name of the two men who dared to

mess with me. I don't care about their motives, but I want them dead by today."

As he finished his words, a shocked and frightened look flashed across all of his subordinates' faces, except the

assistant. They lowered their heads immediately to avoid Titus taking his anger out on them.

Oh, God. If I heard right and understood him correctly, is the president threatening to kill the two gossipers?

Titus and his assistant couldn't care less about the others' thoughts.

The assistant wasn't surprised to receive such an order from his superior. After all, he wouldn't spare the person

who almost got him killed if he was in Titus' shoes.

"Right away, President Gray." The assistant nodded at Titus with a gloomy expression.

As their businesses were all entwined, the assistant dared say the two employees had also endangered him.

Therefore, he wouldn't pity the two, but rather hoped they would die.

"Hold on. Help me back to the office first." Titus extended his hand to hold the man's arm with a tired look.

The assistant did as told and sent Titus back to the office before leaving to investigate the identity of the two

employees who had a conversation in the elevator lobby.

About half an hour later, the assistant returned to the office just as Titus was about to fall asleep.

Seeing the assistant pulling a long face, Titus could feel his stomach drop as the bad feeling dawned on him. "How

is it? Do you find anything?"

Sitting upright, he quickly shot a question at the assistant in anticipation without hiding the resentment he was

holding toward the targets.

The man stopped before Titus' work desk and shook his head gloomily. "I'm afraid that I've let you down, sir. I can't

find anything about them because they aren't even employees at Triforce Enterprise or any of our subsidiaries.
