Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 227

Ch. 227 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Yvonne didn't care about the rumors around her. She ran angrily to Guillermo's office.

The phone in Guillermo's office rang.

The secretary, Spencer, had been answering the phone and explaining all along.

Guillermo was annoyed when he heard that. He directly pulled out the phone line.

Instantly, the office cooled down. Spencer wiped the sweat off his face tiredly.

When he opened his eyes and looked at the computer again, a piece of video suddenly popped up. Spencer quickly clicked it.

The video was that Yvonne sneaked into the living room. Then she pointed at Malcolm and scolded him, saying that Malcolm pushed her.

Guillermo and Hugo rushed over and berated Malcolm.

"Mr. Lowe, check it out," Spencer shouted in surprise.

Guillermo rubbed his forehead and said angrily, "What's the matter? What bad news is it again?"

Guillermo was stuck in the business because it was so difficult. The media kept an eye on it every day, especially for a rich family like his. As long as something happened, it would instantly spread.

Many competitors in the industry were hoping for him instantly to fall so that they could step on the people who fell and climb up. They wanted to get a piece.

There were even more people who benefited from it.

Spencer looked at Guillermo with a serious expression. "Mr. Lowe, this video is even more chilling than the news just now."

"What?" Guillermo growled. He quickly got up and walked over.

The video was very short. When he came out to berate Malcolm, it was finished.

In an instant, he was so angry that all the rage surged.

"Ow..." he cried out painfully.

He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, when Malcolm returned, this had also happened.

Julian repeatedly berated him, but he chose to believe Yvonne. He did not listen to his son's explanation.

He was sure that it was his son's fault!

Julian said that not to mention Malcolm, even he, an outsider, felt so sad.

What did he do to Malcolm that Malcolm hated him so much?

Spencer looked at Guillermo in pain and asked worriedly, "Mr. Lowe, are you alright?"

Guillermo slowly shook his head, his face full of exhaustion. "Spencer, call Malcolm." His voice was dry and hoarse. This matter had dealt a great blow to him.

"Alright!" Spencer took out his phone and dialed Malcolm's number.

However, after calling three or four times in a row, no one picked up.

Spencer said with embarrassment, "Mr. Lowe, Malcolm doesn't answer the phone."

"This little bastard!" Guillermo shouted angrily.

"Why can't he talk with me at home? He actually posted such a thing on the internet. It's really embarrassing!"

Spencer said, "Mr. Lowe, I will call the office."

As Spencer spoke, he dialed the number of the secretary's office.

Sergio was dealing with the things at hand when he suddenly heard the phone ring. It was the phone number of the Guillvonne Group.

He paused thoughtfully, and he waited for a while before picking up the phone.

He said in an emotionless tone, "Hello!"

"Sergio, is Malcolm here?"

"He's not here!" Sergio replied indifferently.

"Then the matter on the internet..."

"Spencer, check your company's IP address first. Take a look at the previous news. Why was the news sent to the internet from your company's address? Check-in with yourself first before you question others." After Sergio finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap.

Sergio lowered his head expressionlessly and continued to deal with the matters at hand.

Spencer felt pain in his ears from the snap. He shook his head helplessly. "Mr. Lowe, Malcolm is not in the company."

"Not in the company?" Guillermo laughed coldly. "He did all of this. Now, he wouldn't pick up the phone and hid himself. Isn't he doing it on purpose?" Guillermo's face was twisted with fury.

Just then Guillermo heard the sound of urgent footsteps, his face turned livid.

He suddenly looked up at the door and saw Yvonne hurriedly walking in.

Yvonne looked at Guillermo's cold face, anxious.

"Hubby, don't believe what happened on the internet. Some people are trying to frame me!" she said as she looked at Guillermo pitifully.

Guillermo looked at Yvonne and suddenly thought of Julian's words.

She was a dangerous wolf!

When Guillermo thought about it, he felt this really made sense!

Guillermo looked at her coldly, his eyes full of rage. "You still have the nerve to come to the company? The stock has been falling. And about that video! You fell on your own. Why did you frame Malcolm? What are you doing?

"You know that I feel so guilty about Elvira and Malcolm. It's fine if you don't treat them well, but why did you do this to get between me and my son? Yvonne, what kind of a human being are you?"

Guillermo yelled at Yvonne with all his strength.

Yvonne was forced back a few steps by his roar.

However, she still asked doubtfully, "Video? What video?" She couldn't believe that there was such a video recording of how she pretended to fall and framed Malcolm.

"Get lost! Stay home and don't take another step into the Guillvonne Group." Guillermo pointed at the office door and shouted.

"Hubby..."

"I told you to scram!" Guillermo was extremely furious. When he heard she called him hubby, he instantly felt disgusted.

Yvonne looked at him with a gloomy gaze.

She thought, 'What should I do?

Did Malcolm really start fighting back?'

She looked at Guillermo and suddenly shouted, "Guillermo, would you rather believe those rumors than your own wife? How could I do those things? You know Malcolm has hurt me several times, don't you? When did I ever frame him?"

Guillermo roared angrily, "No, I don't. I don't see it. Every time I defended you and believed you. But you deceived me again and again in return!"

Spencer was shocked by Guillermo's tone.

However, he quickly tapped on the keyboard. Not long later, he said, "Mr. Lowe, we found it. The news about Malcolm and Marilyn was uploaded by Samuel, Yvonne's secretary."

Yvonne did not see this coming at all. She sighed.

Guillermo glared at her. "Look at you all dressy. How could you do such nasty things?"
