Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

Chapter 478 Let Me Die on a Business Trip

Aaron's POV:

Yes, my stepmother, who always seemed to hide under the wings of my father, was likely the most malicious person in this family

She has been too low-key lately. Since I entered the Morris Group headquarters, she has been so low-key as if she had no objections to it. I once tried to put myself in her shoes and found that if it were me, I couldn't accept the stepson's power surpassing that of the biological son from any perspective

Because human nature is inherently unfair, let alone the fact that everyone knows that Maria

and I did not get along well. She would never be happy for my success and growth

So I kept my guard up, even my brother Joe didn't know. That day when we went together to tamper with the radar on the plane, the maintenance personnel happened to say a few words to me alone

At that time, he, as the owner of the plane, had to sign the maintenance acknowledgment letter, while I stayed on-site to communicate with the maintenance personnel on how to modify the system

The young man, perhaps seeing my expertise in operating the system, generously chatted with me about the latest knowledge of unmanned flying systems. However, when he actually started to dismantle the control panel of the aircraft, he fell silent for a while. Then, he

called me seriously

"Mr. Morris, I believe as a professional in the technical field, you should understand, just like me, that intervention and destruction are completely different matters. Forcibly destroying an aircraft will not only affect radar signals but also result in a crash. Regardless of your intentions, this is not allowed morally or legally."

I looked back in confusion, indicating that I had never said anything about wanting to sabotage the system. Joe and I always had the same opinion, which was to make slight changes to the radar signal system on the plane, so that it wouldn't be detected in its actual location during a certain period of timeNôvelDrama.Org content.

To be honest, such behavior was also on the edge of legality, but it did not cause any

substantial harm to anyone. Moreover, Joe is a platinum member of this private maintenance organization, so our request was not refused

But the words of the maintenance personnel just now completely made me suspicious, a terrible conjecture formed in my mind, as that young man firmly told me that he had found the control panel had been reassembled by someone, that conjecture became clearer and clearer

"The fuel system has been damaged as a result, theoretically speaking, there is an 80% chance that this aircraft will be unable to refuel when returning from New York to California and will crash halfway."

One second before Joe came back from the reception room, I quickly told the maintenance personnel who had told me about this, not to let my brother know about it

When I first heard about this, I instinctively believed that it was the work of Mr. Morris, my father

After all, he never really liked me from childhood to adulthood, or rather, my existence reminded him of that not-so-glorious period of time. If I could disappear from this world, it would actually be more beneficial than detrimental to him

But I quickly had another thought, during that time, although my father and I didn't have a close relationship, 1t wasn't as hostile as usual

This was because he believed that his biggest threat at the moment was my brother Joe, who could potentially take away his control over the company at any time

So he wanted to use me to keep Joe in check and wouldn't have any bad intentions towards

me for the time being. Moreover, this trip 1s on behalf of the headquarters of Morris Group, and Mr. Morris himself wouldn't be foolish enough to harm me along the way

To be honest, it sounds absurd to analyze rationally whether my father wanted to kill me or not, but in this family, anything was possible

So the people in this family who wanted to kill me, apart from my biological father, the prime suspect was my stepmother, Mrs. Maria

Mr. Morris's recent attention to me and Joe's indifferent attitude towards my development probably made her feel an unprecedented crisis

So she wanted me to disappear, to not have any chance to seize any property of the Morris family again. In Maria's mind, it should all belong to her

And she definitely had the opportunity to come into contact with Joe's plane without anyone knowing

This thought lingered in my mind for a moment, so I chose to conceal everything that the inspector and I had just discovered from Joe

It's not that I doubted Joe in the same way, comrades on the same front should not have any guard against each other, but I considered his emotions. I didn't know how Joe would face the woman who raised him after I spoke out about this

matter

I lost my mother when I was young, so more than anyone else, I hope that the person I love has the love of both parents. Even if Maria sees me as her enemy, I will not try to disrupt the relationship between her and Joe, her son

I faithfully repeated these words to Olive on the other end of the phone. She was initially surprised, but soon Olive told me about her last visit to Morris Manor, which absolutely convinced me that Maria wanted me dead on my business trip
