Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1147

Zachary was desperate to know how she had uncovered his operation.

He ran a shadow empire, dealing with powerful foreign cartels that provided him with absolute protection.

Almost no one knew about it. Aside from his personal assistant, there were no loose ends. The victims were shipped off to black sites, turning a massive profit.

Every single extraction was handled personally by him and his assistant.

His assistant was a professional cleaner who could stage any crime scene to look like a flawless suicide.

For over a decade, he had raked in millions of dollars and lived like a king.

The victims were all registered as accidental deaths. There were never any investigations because he paid off the families to look the other way, though most of his targets were untraceable orphans to begin with.

There was absolutely no way a third party could have known.

Furthermore, Joanna had never even set foot in his private office. He had always been the one to come to her.

He never allowed anyone into his personal workspace. Even VIP clients were entertained in the adjacent conference room.

Joanna savored his absolute terror. The man was a butcher.

Beneath his polished, refined exterior hid a horrifying ruthlessness.

"Do you like my gift, Zachary? Your biggest mistake was trying to play me. If you had just kept your mouth shut, voided the contract, and walked away, I might have kept your secret. We could have even been partners. But you just had to demand the penalty fee. You left me no choice but to send you to prison."

It was the perfect setup. With Zachary behind bars, she could easily swallow the lion's share of his agency.

As for the cartel backing him, if she could make contact, she could take over his route.

Anything Zachary could do, she could do better.

Zachary refused to believe he was being outplayed by her. He glared at her with lethal intensity. "You venomous bitch. I don't buy for a second that you know everything."
