The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Even if the influence that Alexander's father had over the Gray Wolfe Corporation had declined to only a fraction of what it used to be just a few years ago, it still wasn't to be underestimated.

While many had switched sides to favor the twins while others tried to fish in troubled waters, there still remained more than a few staunch loyalists who firmly supported him with all their might.

And with so many people having heard the unsuppressed gunshots, and many even having witnessed Ginny and Jasper escaping, it was naturally impossible for the twins' father to remain oblivious to it for long.

Of course, contrary to what his subordinates expected, the man wasn't happy to hear about the news at all.

In fact, the man pretty much exploded in rage the moment he learned of the attempted assassination, and it took quite a bit of effort for even his veteran colleagues to calm him down.

At first, they thought that it must be because the assassination was secretly ordered by him, and he was furious to hear that it had failed, but it turned out not to be the case at all.

"Who the fuck has such big balls within Carmen?! Find them, find them immediately!"

Knowing just how irrational and irritable he had been ever since he lost his son and his wife went into a coma, the rest of them could only give up trying to figure out his thoughts and accede to his demands.

"Yes yes, Mr. Gray, we'll get to it right away."

Unfortunately, they never had the opportunity to figure it out on their own as an anonymous message was soon sent to their company's public mailbox with a bombshell of a news.

The people behind the attempted assassination of Ginny and Jasper were some of the top bosses of their own corporation!

Naturally, such 'news' would only be considered baseless slander without proof.

But to the horror of everyone involved, whoever sent the 'leak' seemed to have first-person access to almost every message and instruction that had been sent to the 'assassins' from the perpetrator's side, much of which was confidential information that could be easily traced back with a little effort.

Those who had been only slightly disappointed not to hear the news of the successful assassination immediately realized that something seemed to have gone horribly wrong.

"Who was moronic enough to give their own access code to those fools?!"

The man who had the most evidence stacked against him had already broken out into a cold sweat. "I-I swear I didn't do it! L-Look, I even have the messages to show—"

"Idiot, delete them! Delete them immediately!"

Of course, after they calmed down a little from the panic, they realized that what happened wasn't that they slipped up accidentally, but that they'd been led into a malicious trap by someone.

The access codes could be easily leaked and were still justifiable, but all the other proof that had been gathered by the 'leakers' showed that the assassins they had been in contact with were likely compromised from the start.

As for the identity of the person stabbing at them from the shadows… unfortunately, there was no time for them to figure it out.

The moment he learned that people from his own corporation were the ones behind Ginny and Jasper's attempted assassination, Alexander's father went completely ballistic.

"Shit! Even if they're technically his children, haven't they already rebelled by trying to contend for power as they are?"

"Right?! Are we worth less than those rebels after everything we've done to help grow this corporation to what it is today?"

"Not to mention, his wife is just in a coma, not dead. He can easily have more children later."

"Even if she dies, he can still have more children. I think he's just taking his anger out on us because he thinks we're easy to bully, and he doesn't have the strength to punish those he really wants!"

"We can't continue following him anymore… Sanders has really gone completely crazy."

Of course, no one else knew that the real reason for most of his rage wasn't that he thought they were stepping on his face by trying to kill his only remaining children, but something else entirely.

Although Emilia had kept the identity of the hero a secret from Ginny and Jasper when she 'arrested' him, that was only because it would prevent her from taking him away 'safely' with as much ease if exposed.

Now that she already had him, there was no need to worry so much.

Needless to say, sending a few photos of Amos being involved with the same men who were involved in the assassination to Sanders had the same effect as pouring jet fuel into a fire pit.

The man could barely suppress his anger when he thought his face had been stomped into the ground, but when the same people were involved with his 'real' son's murderer… there was no way he could keep his cool.

Amos Black was the man Sanders hated the most in the world, and knowing that his own people were involved with him behind his back was like a sobering punch to the gut for him.

He realized that he couldn't trust these people anymore, and even the things he had previously depended on them to 'verify' now seemed questionable.

Were they involved with Amos before the boy murdered his son? Was it their plan from the beginning to destabilize him?

How far did this conspiracy go?

Alexander's father had no idea, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt chilled in his heart.

To think so many treacherous snakes had been biding their time right by his side for so long…

He slammed his fist on the table in rage. "Unforgivable!"

No matter how the accused people tried to appease him, nothing seemed to work. The man seemed intent on doing everything he could to not only completely cut them off from the Gray Wolfe Corporation, but also bring them to 'justice' in a much more literal way.

Those who could hire assassins to get rid of Ginny and Jasper were naturally not people who would take such bullying lying down, though, and even if they were previously on the same side, survival took precedence after all.

And thus, Gray Wolfe's 'loyalist' faction that had been sticking with Sanders through thick and thin and had only been weakened by a little more than half despite the relentless efforts of the twins… immediately fragmented into two, and started cannibalizing its own.
