Everyone was shaken to the core upon seeing that.
Jack was slightly taken aback, but he was quick to reprimand, “How can you guys be so cruel? You’re
just going to make him kneel without investigating first?”
After saying his piece, Jack turned to the guy with the glasses on. The former hoped that the latter
would help by speaking up.
Having a few more people speak out will make this easier.
However, when he turned over, he saw that the guy with the glasses on had lost his cool. The latter
was trembling as sweat dripped down from his forehead. It looked as if he was frightened by the
violence he had just witnessed.
Jack couldn’t help reminding, “Don’t worry. Everything is live now. Nightshire Group will be even more
trouble if anyone does anything vile to threaten you.”
The man with the glasses acted like he couldn’t hear what Jack was saying. The former’s eyes stared
numbly at the guy who was kneeling on stage. It was as if he had seen a ghost.
Just then, Vinson clarified, “I think a few reporters on site recognize this guy here. His name is Howard
Morgan, and he is one of the top executive members of Morgan Enterprise. He is also a member of the
Morgan family and is the mastermind behind this entire ordeal.”
In a timely manner, Carter added, “Hello everyone, I am Carter Morgan. I am sorry and embarrassed
about what a member of my family did, so I brought him over to get him to kneel and apologize to the
victims.”
Jack was instantly stunned.
What the hell is going on?
Every other reporter started whispering and murmuring.
“What’s going on? Aren’t Nightshire Group and Morgan Enterprise on good terms? Why is a member of
the Morgan family trying to hurt Nightshire Group?”
“Who knows? Maybe they got him over as a scapegoat?”
“Shh, keep your voices down. You’ll be sued for defamation if they hear you.”
Jack happened to hear that conversation, so he raised his voice and pointed out, “Everyone knows that
Morgan Enterprise and Nightshire Group are on good terms. You and Mr. Morgan have also been close
friends all these years, Mr. Nightshire. How do we know that you didn’t just grab a random guy over to
be the scapegoat?”
Vinson sneered and challenged, “Do you really think I’d be that stupid?”
In other words, Vinson was saying that he was smarter than that and would hire a better scapegoat if
that was
what he wanted to do.
Jack stiffened.
The LED screen in the hall lit up at that moment.
Cough! Carter cleared his throat and took the remote control from the worker. He clicked on a button
and requested, “Please take a look at this.”
Everyone turned to the screen.
All they saw was a banking record that highlighted a list of transactions with the recipients’ names and
ages written on the side. Different addresses could also be seen on said record.
Carter noted that most had already finished reading the content, so he slowly announced, “As you see,
the names on the list belonged to the victim who claimed to have fallen ill after they frequented Soir
Coffee. Every single one on the list had met up with Howard or one of his men in different locations.
The record shows that a sizeable sum had recently been deposited in each of their bank accounts.
Those funds came from the same bank account, namely the one held by Howard’s company.”
Everyone turned their attention to the list again. As promised, a closer look revealed that the same
account made the transfer. The account holder was, indeed, Howard’s company,
Carter didn’t need to further explain the situation. By
then, even people with half a brain could tell that it was Howard’s doing
He is the mastermind behind it all.
“No…” blurted Jack in disbelief as his eyes bulged.
He finally understood why the guy with the glasses had become that lost, even though the latter was
calm just seconds ago. He knows that Howard is the mastermind behind it. That is why he instantly lost
his footing when he saw how Howard had been apprehended.
Shit, I am so, so dead!
