“You said that, not me,” said Mr. Zink swiftly upon hearing what Steven said. “Mr. Hughes, I never said
Senior Howard’s death is related to Mrs. Hughes and Dan!
After that, he looked at Gwen and begged her to agree with him. “Miss, I’m sure you heard what I said.
I never said that, right?”
Gwen furrowed her brow and felt bad for how pitiful Mr. Zink looked. As a lawyer, it was his duty to fight
for justice, but since he was badly injured , he did not even dare to tell the truth as he was afraid it
would cause more trouble.
She sighed and said, “Mr. Zink, you don’t have to be so afraid. Steven… He’s not the same as the
others. He won’t betray you, so you don’t have to be afraid that he’d ask you to testify.” As she was
talking, she looked at Steven who was driving. Gwen’s reply shocked Steven because he never
thought Gwen would say that to Mr. Zink. For a moment there, he did not know if he was more
surprised or thrilled to hear that.
Even though he knew there was a higher chance Gwen said that to give comfort to Mr. Zink, he was
happy to personally hear that Gwen was complimenting him, even when it was not purely for him.
Gwen’s voice was gentle and brought comfort and assurance to people. After what she said, Mr. Zink
finally let his guard down and started to cry, bringing his hands to cover his face. “T—They beat me for
a long time…
“That was not all. Dan even used a dull knife and cut my body with every question he asked. The pain
he felt was not the worst part; it was the stress!
“I broke down…so I told him everything Senior Howard told me.
“1-I didn’t mean to betray my customer! I never knew Senior Howard would be dead after I said
everything!
“But I was really scared of dying. I was scared that I’d never have the chance to see my wife and
child… I didn’t have a choice!”
Gwen sighed.
On the other hand, Steven furrowed his brow. “So, you told them all the information regarding Senior
Howard’s will?”
Mr. Zink nodded. “But I never told them Mr. Lynch knew about the will and its content, too. I kept that a
secret.”
“Okay.” Steven nodded. “I understand . If Tina and Dan knew Joshua had the content of the will, they’d
never be so arrogant and force Joshua to step down.”
Shortly, they arrived at Steven’s mansion out in the countryside.
As Steven stepped out of the car, the guards rushed over.” Sir, you’re back!”
“Ms. Hughes truly has crossed the line! She-”
“Leave that aside for now.” Steven pointed to the car.” Bring that person into the house first. We’ll talk
about the child later.”
After that, he turned around and called Joshua while walking “Mr. Zink is safe now. I brought him to my
mansion in the countryside . You can take whatever action that you need. That mother-and-son duo…
Everything is just as you said. They harmed Mr. Zink, and now Mr. Zink is severely injured.”
Right at that moment, Joshua was standing on the top floor of Howard Group’s building as he stared at
the protestors outside of the building. “Alright. I understand.
Once he hung up the phone, he looked to the side and instructed Lucas. “Let’s begin.”
