Upon hearing it, Christopher pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his lips curling up coldly. "Did you leave any trace?" "There are always traces whenever a crismitted. But as long as there are no witnesses, it's equivalent to no traces." Owen smiled gracefully. "Mr. Christopher, can't you trust me? I'm a professional." A criminalmitting crimes was already terrifying enough. It was even more terrifying when the murderer himself was a seasoned police chief with many years of experience and highly skilled.
"Excellent. You've worked hard." Christopher temporarily ot the anger brought by his wound, and his smile deepened. "Deputy Chief Hopkins, you're so reliable. I won't mistreat you when I succeed." "You're too kind. As long as the medicine can be successfully developed, I am willing to do anything." Owen's tone was genuine. "It will. You must believe in our all-powerful Boss." After ending the call, Christopher lowered his gloomy eyes and stared at the black screen, sneering silently.

It just shows how much of a charismatic leader you are!" "It's not my charisma. It's the new medicine." Christopher glanced outside the window at the gloomy sky, his gaze ambiguous. "I'm also waiting for that day toe." Thinking of all the experimental data he had sent to Meridan, Christopher felt hopeful. "It shouldn't be far away..." At this moment, another call cin. It was Lance's head secretary.
Christopher's gaze darkened as he tugged his tie, picking it up slowly. "What is it?" "Mr. Christopher, Chairman Iverson wants you to meet him at thepany this afternoon when you're free." "Must it be today?" Christopher's expression was frustrated and disdainful.
"1 "It must be today. This is an order from Chairman Iverson." After that, before waiting for Christopher to answer, the secretary coldly hung up.
"What an asshole! How dare he be so rude to you!" Taylor clenched his fists angrily.
"You've said he is an asshole. If he bites me, could I bite back?" Christopher's voice was icy, his eyes darkening. "It looks like my father has prepared a gift for me, the son he values most." After Elias was arrested, the head of the Southern Star Syndicate, Watson Jenkins, spared no money to hire the best lawyers in the country for his godson's lawsuit. However, the situation was still not optimistic.
Not only that, the media was heavily covering the story, doing the most to demonize Elias and portray him as a monster who killed without blinking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was not a big deal for him to be slandered, but the entire Southern Star Syndicate was severely impacted.
The business Watson had worked so hard to transition to a legitimate one could be said to crumble overnight.
The lawyer cto see Bella and Justin after visiting Elias, his expression worried.
"The autopsy report states that the deceased suffered severe head trauma and died instantly from a broken skull. But Mr. Storm insists that he merely punched his face and kicked his stomach, never going overboard.
"The reality has a huge discrepancy from Mr. Storm's testimony. But the problem now is that the alley only et has surveillance cameras on one end, and there are no witnesses. All the evidence is against him.bined with public opinion, even if it was an accidental murder, his sentence would be heavy... Besides, he has a previous record." "Did Mr. Storm mention why he beat that man?" Bella's expression was grim.
"It's because his subordinate was selling drugs. He said you'd understand as long as you hear it's about drugs." Drugs! It was the drugs again! The source of all evil! If it was not eradicated, the entire Savrow would be in chaos.
"Now, that drug has seeped into the Southern Star thoroughly." "If Mr. Storm was in trouble and no one could handle the situation, the drugs would eventually control the entire Southern Star Syndicate." Justin's dark eyes were as deep as ink. "I suspect the people who targeted Mr. Storm wanted to control the Southern Star Syndicate and infiltrate the entire group. Mr. Storm's existence was undoubtedly a huge obstacle, so they resorted to framing him." Bella took a deep breath, feeling a tightness in her chest. "If so, Mr. Jenkins would be in a dangerous situation too! Mr. Storm was arrested, and Mr. Jenkins only has a daughter. Now that Southern Star is in chaos, Aunt Sasha would be forced to step in to stabilize the situation." Justin's voice was heavy. "I don't rmend Aunt Sasha to step in now. Anyone who steps in will be the target. I've asked lan to investigate those so-called elders in Southern Star, and none of them are easy. Although Aunt Sasha is Mr. Jenkins' daughter, she cut ties with Southern Star long ago. She doesn't understand what's going on in the group. If she goes, she'll likely be bullied." "Who dares to bully Aunt Sasha?!" Bella widened her eyes, radiating a fierce murderous aura. "The KS Group and the Thompson family are her backers! If they try to touch Aunt Sasha, I'll skin them!" The lawyer was shocked, and he trembled. 'Damn, how could this esteemed and famous heiress have a fiercer presence than a gang leader?' Justin gently pulled the angry little woman into his arms, his eyes filled with affection. "Bella, I know it's hard for you to calm down when things involve your family, but think about it. Now, the public opinion is against Southern Star. If Aunt Sasha steps in and someone fans the flames, the target would turn to the Thompson family." Bella bit her lips, her gaze intense. "We are a family. No matter how difficult it gets, we must face it together. I can't stand aside and watch!" Just as Bella tried to think of something, Steven knocked on the door and walked in. "Ms. Bella, I've gotten the information you requested." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
