Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

“This coffee has a wonderful aroma.” Theo sat opposite Tyrone.
Tyrone offered a faint smile. “Let’s get straight to the point. This is a document, Theo. Have a look. Any comments?”
He slowly pushed a folder on the table to Theo.
The folder appeared quite ordinary, a plain blue without any label.
However, it was this unremarkable folder that made Theo slightly uneasy.
He was aware that there must be something inside, but he couldn’t ascertain its contents.
Theo opened the folder, and his expression changed dramatically.
“Surely, there’s a misunderstanding! My son is an honorable man. It can’t be him!”

“Where’s the room for misunderstanding with evidence this clear? If you’re doubtful, go ahead and question Leon and your son.”
Theo’s complexion turned pale, contrasting with Tyrone’s evident confidence. It was clear that Tyrone was certain about
something.
Observing Theo’s silence, Tyrone pressed on, “As Harrell mentioned, this incident has significantly impacted the company’s
reputation, stock, and resulted in substantial financial losses. I, along with the company, plan to sue Leon and Byron for
defamation and slander. You’ve been a loyal company man, Theo. I’m confident you back my decision.”
Blakely Group’s legal department boasted the finest Lawyers.
Plus, the recent scandal did cause a stir. If Tyrone and the company prevailed in the lawsuit, Leon and Byron would have to pay
a hefty fine and could potentially be incarcerated.
A defamation and slander case being private, even if Theo was aware that Byron was manipulated by Evelyn, Tyrone could
ignore her in the legal proceedings, leaving Byron solely liable.
Theo’s regret for aiding Evelyn was palpable.
She was so infatuated with Tyrone that she lost her senses and dragged Byron into the situation.

Maintaining his composure, Theo asked, “In that case, let’s be straightforward. Are you denying your affair with Sabrina? Are you
certain you can win this case?”
Casually leaning into his sofa, Tyrone responded with bravado, “If you don’t trust me, you’re welcome to see for yourself!”
Theo fell silent, as if mentally tallying potential gains and losses.
“You’re left with two options. One, you gamble on me losing the case.
High-risk, high-reward. If you lose, however, your son will face a harsh sentence. His assets are already being audited. You can’t
transfer them now.
Two, you can voluntarily resign from the board, apologize to Sabrina for your misdeeds, and I’ll pardon Byron.
Evelyn was bold enough to involve your son. She likely has a way to dodge the blame. She can make Byron the scapegoat.
Ponder over it.”
If Tyrone pardoned Byron, his sentence could be reduced. He might have to pay some damages, but jail could be avoided.
