Chapter 662 - The Start Of Xavier’s Downfall



They only needed to be shown the way.

Of course, they would take time to get the news so Kyle released another set of pictures a few days later. This time, it was of him purchasing jewelry. It may not have been bad, if it wasn\'t for the fact that it was not his wife or daughters that he bought it for.

Those sets of pictures, he sent to Xavier\'s wife as well.

She may not care much about him fooling around, but she sure didn\'t like it that he would actually spend money on them!

Xavier had a complicated relationship with his wife. Though, in some countries, it would probably be labeled as an open relationship: where they could have other sexual partners. The only thing is, the wife was much better at it than the husband (she would have never gotten caught in those pictures).

More importantly, she didn\'t care that someone was willing to sleep with her aged husband, but no one could spend her money!

Soon, there were rumours of Xavier\'s wife confronting all those women that had been her husband\'s partner and demanded the jewelry back. Of course, none of them wanted to give it since it had been given to them.

And so, Xavier\'s \'harmonious\' life at home was a mess.

Kyle \'attacked\' Xavier\'s kids as well.

Well, most of them.

Evasion of taxes, misappropriation of company funds, and bribery were but a few of the things that came to light. Various people who had been working in the said companies came up to the Anti-Corruption Agency to reveal the things that had been happening.

The officers came to conduct and investigation, and soon, the newspapers were filled with more news about the entire family. How, upon a search order of their properties, an insane amount of luxury items and cash from various countries were unearthed.

Millions of dollars worth.

Though the companies were doing well, the amount of wealth that had been revealed did not tally.

The newspapers had a field day.

It was truly a very hectic time for Xavier. Everything seemed to be crashing down on him.

However, he wasn\'t too worried about what was happening was merely his personal life and his kids. He had enough money stashed away in offshore accounts. All he needed to do was just leave the country and enjoy a long holiday elsewhere.

He didn\'t know that what he had been experiencing, was just the tip of the iceberg.

"Is it time?" Sayuri asked Kyle, who was watching the news intently.

"Yeah," Kyle replied, leaning back on the sofa.

She looked at him, her heart in her throat.

"Do you really have to go alone?" she asked.

Kyle turned towards her and stroked her chin, taking in her concerned expression, "I\'m not going to fight, you know. It\'s best I go alone."

"I can be in the shadows," Sayuri insisted.

"I know you can," Kyle said, "But wouldn\'t it be better to have you on the outside? On the off-chance that something does go wrong, at least you can come and bail me out later."

"Bail you out, or break you out?" Sayuri asked.

"Depends on whether they know who I am, I suppose," Kyle said.

"I still don\'t like it," Sayuri said, pouting, "I feel like you\'re doing the old \'stay-back-cuz-I-need-you\' trick. It\'s not that you need me here, but you don\'t want to endanger me with you."

Kyle rolled his eyes and pulled her into his arms, "Oh please. The great Sayuri? Just how much of danger can you possibly be in by following me?"

He kissed her lips softly, running his tongue over it, as he said, "I really do need you as a back-up."

Sayuri kissed him back then bit his lower lips as she said, "Then you\'d better do a good job so that I don\'t have to do anything."

Kyle laughed softly, "Relax. It\'s just a meet-up."

"But he\'s heavily guarded, you know," Sayuri said, raising an eyebrow at him as he slipped his hand under her shirt.

"Oh please," Kyle scoffed, cupping her softness, "It\'s not the White House."

"Confident, are we now?" Sayuri asked, her breathing getting a bit breathless as his hands moved.

"Mhmm," was his only response before either of them just stopped talking.

The Prime Minister sat in his huge office, sighing as he looked at the file on his Minister, Syed Xavier.

What a scandal.

Politics is such a dirty field. He had long gotten used to it and turned a blind eye to most of the things the people under him did. So long as they did their job properly, he wasn\'t going to pick on the little things that they did.

So they took bribes?

Understandable, but if the project still ran smoothly and was completed properly then he would swallow it in.

He has had to do a lot of compromising over the years. People tend to be very judgmental and say that \'you are working for the people\' and must be clean.

Yes, work for the people but remain clean?

How is that possible?

Those pointing fingers at him didn\'t know the burden he bore. One that he bore willingly. Let them scoff at him, accuse him of using high-handed tactics, and of being blind. It wasn\'t that he was blind.

It was that he had to choose the path that had the greater good, even if it meant the path was riddled with filth.

At the end of the day, the people benefitted the most.

That was what mattered.

But now, this Xavier?

He had crossed the line.
