Her Revenge Contract
Chapter 77

Xavier's POV

I sighed, frustrated, in the back seat of the car. My mind was racing at a hundred miles per hour as I put the puzzle pieces together.

Erika's plan was quite simple. She seduced Aaron, asked him to find someone to set up Kate, and then found someone to take and post the photos on the Internet.

As soon as someone recognized Kate's face, the stock market price would fall or even crash, and the company might even go into bankruptcy because of the news.

I sneered through gritted teeth. It seems like Erika was a bit smarter than I thought. How cruel is this woman to have a company suffer? At the end of the day, have all the employees gone out of work?

When I got back to the office, Aaron was already sitting and waiting for me in the reception area. He was accompanied by two bodyguards. He visibily shivered when he saw me and dropped his gaze. I guess Louis must have called and warned him.

I smiled and startled Aaron in the process.

Greyson gave me a look, reading my face. He hadn't done that for a while, and it was clear that he was worried about what I was about to do.

"Aaron, I am very happy to see you," I said, taking a seat at my table. "It seems that there were quite a few women keeping you busy last night." "Xavier, please don't do this!" Aaron begged. He knew what was coming next.

I lost it.

I got up, grabbed my chair, and smashed it on Aaron's head.

"I don't care who you f*ck!" I hissed between my teeth, "Who gave you permission to touch my woman!?"

I was ready to extract my claws and make nothing of Aaron.

The two bodyguards moved, but they quickly moved aside, scared shitless.

They knew my business methods were ruthless, and touching things that were mine would end them in the most cruel death possible.

"Xavier, what are you talking about?" He asked, acting confused, "I will never dare touch your fiancee! We have been working together for so long. Where have you heard me mess around with her?" Aaron burst into tears as he covered his head.

"Erika, you can't say you don't know her, and you can't say you don't know about her," I growled dangerously. "You sent my fiancee to the Shivering Angels last night!"

I grabbed my coffee mug from the coffee table and raised my hand to smash it down, but my phone suddenly rang on my desk.

I glanced at it and saw that it was Kate calling, and all the anger inside me washed away.

Aaron burst into another set of tears, whimpering like a coward, and I gave him a sharp glare as I answered the call.

"Hi, what's the matter?" I asked as I answered the call.

"Didn't you say that you would call the doctor?" She asked.

"Yes," I answered, and I sighed. "I am sorry, I totally forgot. I will call him now."

I gave the doctor a call, and he told me that Kate was in good health and that nothing serious was found in her blood. I sighed, relieved, yet the doctor hesitated.

"There is something we need to discuss," the doctor said, "but it is not urgent."

I ended the call and turned my attention back to Aaron.

I looked at Aaron, seeing a wound oozing blood, and called Greyson to bring the medical box.

Greyson looked at Aaron and shook his head, then attended to his wound.

"Tell me everything you know about Erika."

Aaron swallowed hard and nodded his head.

"I've known Erika for a while now; we met when I was away on business. We only met up once or twice thereafter, and then recently, when I went for a meeting at the King Group. After the meeting, I found Erika on the stairs; she had sprained her ankle, and I took care of it. We slept together.

Later, we had dinner, and she took a man named Louis with her. At one stage, I excused myself and went to the restroom, leaving my phone on the table. When I returned, Erika and the man had left.

I didn't think much of it, and I paid. I don't know what happened afterward."

I listened carefully to everything Aaron said and was sure he was lying.

"You called Kate and emailed her," I growled, and I grabbed him around the neck.

Aaron didn't expect that I knew that bit of information and started to blabber about how she seduced him and what she was planning.

"I let a pussycat get in the way of business. The next time I see her, I will kill her!"

Looking at Aaron, it was obvious that he sold Erika out to save himself, and he didn't intend to protect her.

That's when it hit me.

Now that the project signing between the two groups was at its last stretch, mostly the suppliers needed to be chosen to support the projects. If Kate's image suddenly gets hurt, the whole group will turn their backs on her.

"Aaron, since you told me the truth, I believe you," I said, watching Aaron breathe a sigh of relief. "We still need to finalize the contract quotation for the project. Your quote is much higher than the rest. We will make no profit if we use your company. I suggest you take your original quote and change it. Reduce your markup by 30%. What do you think?"

Aaron smiled; he knew he would make a loss, yet he agreed. "Very well," he said, "I will make the amendment right away."

Before I could say anything more, Aaron rushed from my office.

After Aaron left, Greyson handed me Louis's phone. And showed me the sex video of Erika.

"Clip the videos and pick a few interesting angles showing Erika's face where possible." With that, I handed the phone and USB flash drive back to Greyson and smiled.
