Unable to hold back, Carnelian was about to explain how much Jonathan had done for the Moore family. He had made significant efforts, far from the merrymaking that many assumed. However, before she could speak, Jonathan gestured for her to stop. He looked at Dieter and asked: "Sir, I would like to know how the higher-ups plan to compensate the Moore family if they decide to confiscate the Peaceful Island project?" The issue of the buried body hadn't been proven to involve the Moore family. However, the higher-ups were reclaiming the project, and without appropriate compensation, this would be unacceptable. No sooner had he raised the question than the Moores grew visibly angry. "Compensation? They're just returning the two billion of our deposit, can that even be considered compensation?" "But if they've decided so, who dares to contradict?" "Exactly, if we pressure the police externally, they just push everything onto us without any justification." "If there were another way, w

At this moment, Samantha was still throwing all her energy into winning the Peaceful Island project for Jonathan and the Heavenly Pillar real estate company. Unaware that she had been played like a fiddle. All for the sake... of a concealed murder case. "Once you've thought it through, collaborate with me to protect yourself. If you don't agree, I assure you, you'll spend at least fifteen years in jail, you know I can make it happen." Jonathan smirked. But to Maddox, the smile was full of malicious intent. "Mr. Wang, what do you want to know?" Maddox gritted his teeth and asked. He was now in Jonathan's clutches. Jonathan winked at Denish, who understood and struggled up, leading his lackeys away. Only Jonathan and Maddox remained in the room. "Now, I simply want to know about the hidden murder. Rest assured, as long as you cooperate with me, I will protect you. Did you or your gang carry out that murder?" "You've guessed wrong, we did not." Maddox steadfastly shook his he

Jonathan listened without a word. Bipolar disorder was just one issue among others. The second problem was Baldric's growing resentment towards Sherlock, which had not built overnight. And judging by Sherlock's tone, he cherished and protected his younger brother deeply. Blood ties did indeed run deep. Jonathan didn't feel it was his place to delve deeper into the Moore brothers' situation. However, there was still another issue at stake! Jonathan hesitated for a moment, then asked: "When did your brother leave Crystal Cove? Why is he bearing such a grudge against you upon his return?" These two issues were quite disparate. But Jonathan was primarily concerned with the first one, that is, when Baldric left Crystal Cove to join the domestic company. The second issue was merely a diversion to distract Sherlock's attention. He was already slightly suspicious. "About three months ago, I can't remember exactly, but it was around that time." "As for the grudge, you heard it last

Any incorrect information could lead to serious complications. "If it weren't you, I wouldn't even consider sharing!" "So, are you going to listen or not?" Juliette retorted, a hint of annoyance in her voice. "Listen." Jonathan answered with a single word. Having felt dismissed by Jonathan, Juliette’s face hardened, but a tinge of anxiety was noticeable: "I'm kind of scared to say this." Jonathan quietly prompted: "Is it about someone with great power?" Juliette honestly responded: "Not just ordinarily influential, but massively so! Besides, I'm not certain it's that person!" From Juliette's serious demeanor, it seemed she really had a lead. "Speak up, I won't let it leak." "Alright, here it goes." From the start, Juliette didn't have any intention of hiding things when she agreed to meet Jonathan. As Juliette finished her account, Jonathan's face grew even more stern. If Juliette's words were true, they could potentially identify the real suspect. That person was none o

"Relax, I will keep the secret. Besides, there is no need to admit anything." Jonathan said. Spontaneously confessing to Dieter that he had indirectly pushed Baldric to his downfall would be a foolish and dull move. If he were to do that, it would not make him honest, but stupid. "Yes, it was a tough decision for me, but we didn't do anything wrong!" Carnelian said with a gloomy tone. They were not wrong; Baldric was. Actually, the police had already interrogated Cadell and figured out what happened before nightfall. Jonathan and Carnelian knew all the details of the case. Baldric, in a state of frustration, had invited Flower and Bird for drinks. It was a typical scenario where one pays and the others entertain. However, once drunk, Baldric's sinister side emerged, and he started to torture the girls. Unable to bear it, Bird and Flower started begging for mercy. But the more they pleaded, the more Baldric's sadistic nature was provoked, making him even more brutal. He forced them
