Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 353
“Bharath, get me the tablet over there… also, do have a headphone?” Shreya asked once she settled down.
“Shreya… you are injured!!” Bharath said exasperated.
“I won’t move my injured hands… and can you call the doctor and ask if I can eat something… I am starving!” Shreya smoothly distracted him and sent him away after once he handed over the tablet to Shreya.
Shreya shifted Akira ever so slightly before finding a comfortable position for herself to hold the tablet.
The first thing she did was check the news.
The whole media was in an uproar about her accident and the bombing of her office.
Obviously, Shreya and her team did not reveal that it was an internal security thing. They just told them someone broke into the building in the middle of the night just after Shreya had left about minutes ago and before they could reach the scene, the whole office was gone.
Anyways, the bombs are designed so that nothing on the servers will ever be able to be recovered. So, they handed over the scene to the cops while they retained the crew that broke into the office. Anyways, the culprits knew what they were doing and cut off the security camera’s on their own. So, they did not have to do anything else to cover their tracks.
And as far as the accident was concerned, they never revealed Zeenath was there on the scene… and since the car was examined by their own people, it did not place many challenges in hiding the facts.
And obviously, they never revealed anything about Abishek either. And that part was easy since the Central bureau stepped in to cover for them. After all, they are not only covering for them, they will also be covering their own asses.
After all, it is their job to protect the witness and they failed in doing that miserably and Shreya had to step in and even almost lost her life… It was a blessing Shreya was covering for them. Or else, they wouldn’t have any face at all. Especially given the case has so much media coverage right at the junction of when the judgment is going to be made and the whole country is focused on them and they had royally screwed up at such a time.
Just as she was going to quit, a piece of flash news popped up.
The police had released their official statement on today’s incident.
‘POSIBLE TERRORIST ATTACK. POLICE WARN OTHER HIGH PROFILE PEOPLE TO STAY ON ALERT.’
“So, someone high up is really in on it!!!” Shreya sneered.
Anybody with the slightest of brains can see that this was no terrorist attack but a personal one, even if they do not know about the vendetta between her and Naren explicitly in detail, they all knew she pretty much swallowed his company on whole. And that he was the only one who was being very aggressive in the media since his arrest.
He had been publicly cursing her to all hell.
But most importantly, it was just proven that he had hands in Shreya’s parents’ murder not long back… so, it did not make any sense to rule out personal motive.
But then, after 12 hours of investigation, they conclude it was a terrorist attack? Which terrorist ever bombed an empty building??
She immediately called up Zack. She knew he would be the one on top of all of this…
The call connected and the screen showed her a familiar background. Shreya was surprised at first…
It was not that she did not trust them enough to show them her own lair… but it’s just, she wanted to keep this one absolutely to herself just to be absolutely sure. Any number of variables can happen.
Someone betrayed her or not… someone did something or not, she would have this… and with this, she can protect her family. That was all Shreya’s thought process had been when she decided to keep this to herself. She did not think about being defensive with them or anything. Even bringing Bhagya and Bhavna was just in case something happened to her.
“I see the princess had risen again!!” Zack said smiling at her.
“Oh! Please… I was not that banged up anyway.” Shreya answered rolling her eyes.
Even though they were making the whole situation seem light, only Zack knew how scared he was when he heard Shreya’s alarm go off. Everybody’s heart stopped for a while…
If Anand had been on the receiving end of it, he probably would have had a heart attack.
But Shreya never wanted to actually involve Anand in any of the mess she created. Anand was a pure soul. And she wanted to keep him that way. He was a straight-ass person… who only knew how to run a company. And she gladly used him for that.
She never involved him in all the darkness that came with her…
So, from the start, Shreya never linked Anand with anything at all. So, he never knew there was a panic button that Shreya actually carries with her. But he was better off like that…
Because, for the rest of them, their heart stopped beating for a few minutes until they actually saw Shreya sitting in front of the banged-up car with her gun pointed at them vigilantly.
They let out a huge relief knowing both of them were alive…
Pritham snuck in from beside Zack and pushed him away and intruded into the conversation on his own as he said, “This place is awesome!!! Absolutely awesome. I cannot believe you actually built ‘Alice’… I am shocked!! I cannot believe you built Alice and never showed her to me all these years!!”
His voice was shrill with excitement. He sounded almost like a kid on a sugar rush. Even when he was complaining, it did not look like he was holding a grudge. He just sounded impressed somehow…
“Be thankful you get to meet her now!!” Shreya answered twitching her lips. You can always bet on Pritham to behave like a complete idiot in any given situation.
