?Chapter 1241:


    After graduation, he easily joined the local government. His impressive work quickly led to promotions, and he soon became Jayden’s trusted assistant.


    Someone had sent an anonymous usation letter, making it clear that Barry’s constant rise in rank was due to Jayden’s behind-the-scenes influence. It also mentioned how Barry often bribed Jayden privately.


    Corrine’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint shing through them.


    She called Jules. “Can you find out where Barry Perez is?” she asked.


    “Give me a second,” Jules answered.


    Corrine took a deep breath and stared out the window, watching thendscape blur.


    Jayden’s situation was getting a lot of attention. It was sure to stir up a storm in Lyhaton.


    Jayden had been suspended and was under investigation, shaking up the entire political scene.


    After ending the call, Corrine dialed Nate. “I need to borrow Saul for a bit.”


    The car raced through the streets and finally pulled up to Jayden’s neighborhood.


    As soon as Corrine stepped into the vi, she felt the heavy tension in the air.


    In the living room, Chelsea was sitting on a couch, not only surrounded by the Hoffman family but also by the Ford family.


    Jayden’s assistant, Zane, was there too, along with a few officers, sitting quietly off to the side.


    “Corrine, what brings you here?” Chelsea asked, her face pale and worn, though she tried to stay calm, forcing a smile.


    “We have a lot of guests today. I might not be able to talk to you much. How about I get Jules toe back and keep youpany?”


    Corrine didn’t respond. She noticed Chelsea’s puffy eyes and gave a slight frown.

    Without a word, she walked over to an armchair near Zane and sat down. “Zane, how’s my uncle doing?”


    Right after the incident, Zane, being Jayden’s close aide, was also questioned. But after the interrogation, he seemed clear of any wrongdoing and was released.


    He had only just been freed, and the information he could provide was limited. “They say the evidence is solid, and Mr. Ford is likely in deep trouble…”


    As soon as Corrine heard this, she instinctively nced at Chelsea.


    Chelsea’s face drained of color, and she clutched the armrest of the sofa tightly.


    “What about his colleagues?”


    Was there really no one who would speak up for him after such a major event?


    “Everyone’s too worried about their own necks now. Who would take that kind of risk?” Corrine’s voice was cold,ced with sarcasm and scorn.


    Her words left a somber mood in the room.


    The whole department was on edge, scrambling to avoid any connection to Jayden, too scared to get involved, let alone stand up for him.
