Chapter 1304
Raymond said, "The news wasn't released by us."
Once the news of Xander's death leaked, Abigail would know. And it was possible that she would be sad.
Even though it was just a possibility, Xander would not let such news reach Abigail.
However, for some unknown reason, the news of his death got out, and they had to come up with even worse tricks to deceive her.
Nova clearly did not believe it. "If it wasn't released by you all, who else could it be?"
Raymond responded, "Zane Corporation was once so powerful. And it made many enemies. Once they found out the possibility of Zane Corporation collapsing, they'd do everything possible to hurt Zane Corporation and completely destroy it."
Nova replied, "Could it be that there's a traitor among you all who sold the news of Xander's critical condition?"
Raymond said, "Nova, are you stupid? Do you think people who want to destroy Zane Corporation need real news?"
Nova remained silent.
Raymond continued, "They knew how important Mr. Zane is to Zane Corporation. They knew that the shareholders, employees, and partners all wanted Mr. Zane to return to Zane Corporation.
"They knew as long as he was alive, he remained the spiritual leader of the company. With the spiritual leader there, it'd be difficult to bring down Zane Corporation.
"Once they figured this out, they wouldn't care about the truth. They just needed to release some fake news of Xander's death and get some people online to make the news go viral to achieve the effect they wanted."
Nova asked, "Why doesn't Xander come out to clarify? Can he really watch the business empire he built get destroyed?"
Raymond replied, "Zane Corporation is now yours. Why would he resolve things for you?"
Nova shamelessly said, "I'm the person whom he got his last name from. I allowed him to have that. So, he has an obligation to help me protect the company."
Raymond replied, "He didn't get his last name from you, he got it from his grandfather. Moreover, you've treated him so badly. Do you still expect him to help protect the assets of your illegitimate child?"
Nova did not respond.
Raymond continued saying, "Do you really think you snatched the company from Mr. Zane?"
Nova asked, "Didn't I?"
Raymond replied, "It was a gift from him."
Nova asked, "Why did he do that? Does he want the company to be brought down?"
"Exactly!" Raymond circled Nova. "They both are your sons. Why is the powerful Mr. Zane an eyesore to you, but you treasure your other useless son? Powerful individuals value each other, but do worthless individuals like you value each other too?"
Nova clenched his teeth. "What does Xander want to do?"
Raymond responded, "He wants to treat you like how you treated him."
Nova said, "If he wants to kill me, come at me. Release my wife and son."
"He doesn't need to lay a finger on you," Raymond said before he raised the evidence in his hand. "These are enough to make you suffer."
Nova replied, "Xander's life was given by me. I'm his father. It'll bring great trouble to him treating his father this way. He'll suffer for his lifetimes to come."
