Chapter 216 Drake Regained His Position
Chapter 216 Drake Regained His Position
Sophia was annoyed and kicked Drake's leg fiercely. "Stop talking nonsense! Nothing happened
between us last night."
"Right. We just shared a bed. No big deal. In the future, we will stay together. Of course, after Aria has
a boyfriend, she will move out."
"Drake Riley!" Sophia was too embarrassed to explain. "Um... Ms. Glass, please don't believe his
nonsense."
Emma waved her hand. "I heard nothing, Sophia. Did you, Aria?"
Aria shook her head. "Neither did I."
Sophia felt she had been tricked as if Emma and Aria had colluded to help Drake pursue her.
What a headache!
...
When Olivia saw the news, she dialed Roman's number, looking awful.
However, after trying several times, she couldn't reach him.
"Damn it! Where is he?"
Finally, Roman answered her call. Olivia yelled on the phone, "Roman, where the heck are you now?
Come back home! Now!"
"Mom, I just woke up. What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You were framed. Don't you know it?"
"Framed?" Roman looked surprised. "What are you talking about, Mom?" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Olivia forwarded the news headline to him. "Check it yourself. What have you done?"
Roman tapped to read the news and didn't notice when the woman next to him left the room.
When he saw his nude photos, his face darkened. "Who did it?"
Olivia knew her stupid son had been set up. "Tell me honestly. Where did you go last night?"
"I..." Roman was about to answer her. When he looked around, he didn't see the woman he had slept
with the previous night. "Where is she?" he muttered.
"She? Who is she?" Olivia asked, feeling confused.
"The woman who was sleeping with me last night."
Olivia had seen a lot of dirty tricks in business field.
Repressing her anger, she asked, "Did she take your nude photos?"
"Impossible! She's Mr. Garrett's younger sister. Mr. Garrett and I signed a project agreement last
night..." Suddenly, Roman realized something. "Mom, Mr. Garrett..."
"Who is Mr. Garrett?" Olivia interrupted him.
"The man who was close to Drake, Mr. Garrett. D-Did he lie to me?" Roman panicked.
His words let Olivia understand what was behind this incident.
Although her son was clever, he couldn't compare to Drake in terms of playing tricks. Obviously, Drake
was the one that framed Roman.
"Roman, no matter what, hurry up and come home. Let's discuss what to do. As for your grandfather..."
Before she finished her words, the Old Riley stormed into the living room and smashed the newspaper
onto the coffee table.
He growled, "Where is Roman? Where is he? Look what he has done!"
Olivia froze. Immediately, she reminded her son on the phone, "Let me put in a good word for you to
your grandfather. Hurry! Come home."
Roman bit his lip tightly. How could Drake set him up? He would absolutely teach Drake a lesson!
In Riley Manor, the Old Riley only found Olivia. He roared angrily, "Where is Roman Riley? He hasn't
returned home yet, has he?"
Olivia hurriedly trotted to him and said, "Please calm down, Dad. I've also read the news. Just now, I
called Roman. He denied it. Clearly, he has been framed by someone with evil intentions."
"Someone with evil intentions? Who do you mean?"
"Um..." Olivia opened her mouth but withheld her words.
"Why? Is there anything you cannot tell me?"
Olivia secretly pressed a button on her cell phone in her pocket and started sobbing.
The Old Riley was irritated. "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything to you. Tell me what's bothering
you."
Olivia curled her lips triumphantly into a smile. She knew the chip in the Old Riley's head worked well.
"Honestly, Dad, since you let Roman become the president of the Riley Group, someone has been
unhappy with him. Although he didn't say anything, he kept giving Roman a hard time and wanted to
teach him a lesson. Look what has happened!"
"You mean Drake?"
"I didn't mean it, Dad."
"Well, it's Drake who did it, right? Call him back!"
Olivia's lips curled up again.
Drake returned to Riley Manor pretty fast. Before Roman arrived, he entered the living room.
The Old Riley pounded on the table. "Drake, do you want to disobey my order? How dare you set up
your younger brother and tarnish our family's reputation! Where did you get the gall to do this?"
Drake darted a glance at Olivia and asked calmly, "What are you talking about, Grandpa? I don't quite
follow."
"Stop pretending! Think I'll believe you?"
"Grandpa, do you have evidence?"
"Evidence? Evidence?" The Old Riley thought for a long time but couldn't find any evidence, looking at
Olivia for help.
Olivia knew it was challenging to deal with Drake. However, she also found it difficult to find the
evidence all of a sudden.
Therefore, she kept silent.
Coincidentally, Roman ran into the living room right then.
He stopped in front of the Old Riley and knelt to him.
Holding his thighs, Roman yelled, "Grandpa, help me! Drake set me up, so my rumors have gone wild."
Pointing at Roman, the Old Riley snapped, "See that? He's the evidence. What else do you want to
say?"
Drake smiled ironically. "Grandpa, you should know my stepmother and Roman never liked me. They
longed to remove me from the position of the company's president. Their wishes have come true. How
can they blame me after Roman has a scandal?"
"I wouldn't mind if you put all the blame on me, but at least you should show me the evidence. I can
admit it if you have convincing evidence."
Drake was determined.
Although he did plan this incident, as long as he refused, no one could do anything to him.
The Old Riley looked at Roman and Olivia, hinting at them to show him the evidence.
Roman also looked over at Olivia, wondering what to do.
A while later, Olivia answered, "Dad, you might not know the whole story. Besides these photos.
Roman also signed a contract with Mr. Garrett. We'll call Mr. Garrett and he will tell us what has
happened. You know what, he used to be close to Drake."
