“Here, why don’t you get up first? Ally, take the kids into the house, please.” Isaac frowned as he helped Wendy up.After hearing Wendy’s story, Isaac looked at her and asked, “Do you believe that your husband is that kind of person?”Wendy shook her head and sobbed, “I was furious at first, but it didn’t make sense when I thought more about it. He rarely goes out at night, and even if he does, he doesn’t drink alcohol. He said that he’s a public official, so he has to take great care to maintain his and his employer’s reputation.”She continued, “Without being so careful, he wouldn’t have been able to stay in his position for the last two years. He doesn’t even take cigarettes from other people, let alone a sum of money. Mr. Garten, I believe that Louis was framed. But now, they’ve taken him away!”“It’s fine as long as you believe in your husband. Let’s go over to the Internal Affairs office, then. We’ll get him out,” Isaac said with a nod.Wendy was a teacher. She wasn’t well-conne
There were two men on guard. Isaac fought both of them until they lay injured on the ground. They weren’t security guards but actual employees of the place.They immediately called for backup and reported it to their superiors. In no time at all, loud footsteps came from downstairs as four or five guards rushed up urgently.Wendy was scared out of her wits. Weren’t they here to save Louis instead of bashing people?Did her husband tell her the correct name? Or did she look for the wrong person? Why was the person she found acting like a hooligan?However, the backup guards hadn’t even run up half the stairs before Isaac knocked the whole bunch of them back down.It was just a matter of minutes before the stairs and corridors were full of fallen guards who were moaning in pain.Even the police siren started blaring from outside. In fact, it was getting closer and closer.“Mr. Garten, w—what are you doing? Are you trying to get them killed?” Wendy started to complain to Isaac as she got
It wasn’t just because he was looking down on Isaac. Rather, it was because only less than a handful of people could actually reach Connor Hart.“Give me his number,” Isaac said, taking out his phone.Cash sneered and said, “You idiot, there’s no need for you to keep acting anymore. There’s more than enough evidence to prove that Louis Marsh is guilty. There would be no use even if you called God for help.”“Hello, is this Mr. Connor Hart? My name is Isaac Garten,” Isaac said into the phone soon as the other side picked up. He narrowed his eyes at Cash, giving him an uncomfortable feeling.“Mr. Hart, I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened to your secretary, Mr. Louis Marsh. I believe he’s innocent, but the people at Internal Affairs are still stubborn as a mule and won’t let him go. I think you need to do something about this.”Hearing the way Isaac spoke into the phone, Cash was even more skeptical about the call.He started laughing loudly by the side. “You’re such an idiot! You d
John frowned at Isaac’s words and turned to look at him. He asked coldly, “And which department are you from again?”“I don’t have a department. I’m just an ordinary citizen. What, I can’t demand justice for Louis?” Isaac asked with a chuckle.“Officer Carrey, this is the bastard who beat up our guards. He even got into a brawl with some of us just now. He’s too full of himself!” Cash complained.Louis laughed coldly. “He’s a good friend of Mr. Connor Hart. His call is the reason why you’re all here today.”Hearing that, John, Wade, and Flint paled.The main reason for a trial was to determine whether Louis was guilty. However, given that the phone call they received from their superior was very strict and solemn, they had an inkling of the outcome he expected from this.The chief of trials, Officer Cross, waved his hand and said, “Alright, Officer Carrey, let’s not waste time on telltales. Since we’re all here already, we might as well have a look at the evidence collected.”Cash imme
“The old man’s son reported you for cheating him out of his money. You spent ten days in jail, then worked as a call girl at Seascape’s Navy Hearts Club for two years. You kept going to the casinos and lost another million during this time. You were finally kicked out of the casino and forced to repay your debts, and you left Navy Hearts Club to be a full-time stripper for a year.”Isaac continued, “Within the two months you arrived in Cloud City, you’ve tried borrowing money from eight old classmates and slept with several people for money. Here’s the juicy bit—just two hours before your so-called date with Mr. Louis Marsh, 200 thousand dollars was transferred into your bank account by Evan Wright, who also happens to be Wilson’s personal assistant.”Then, he said, “In conclusion, Wilson hired you to frame Louis and ruin his reputation.”Isaac had managed to explain everything in a single breath. The people in the room were stupefied, especially Lulu. She covered her mouth in shock a
“No!”Wilson let out an anguished cry. His right knee was completely smashed, and he could see the bits of white bone matter inside the flesh.Everyone who witnessed this was left shocked and started to sweat. They couldn’t believe their eyes.“Are you trying to force a confession out of him?” Officer Carrey yelled at Isaac as he stood up.“If this is how you plan to do things, I don’t care whose side you’re on, but Louis Marsh’s case will not be closed today!” Officer Carrey said.At that time, Wilson was already half-kneeling on the ground as he cried, “Uncle John! Uncle John, you have to save me! Isaac is crazy! He’s crazy!”Nobody had known that John Carrey and Wilson Kenne were close. They’d known each other for a very long time.Before capturing Louis, Wilson had first placed a call to John, who then purposely assigned Cash to handle the case.Otherwise, getting to Louis wouldn’t have been easy for them. After all, he was Southland’s governor’s secretary, also known as the chief
Wade stood immediately and said, “Officer Carrey, let’s not be hasty. Mr. Garten has shown us enough proof. I think it’s best that we report this to the upper authorities.”Officer Cross, the chief of trials in Southland, had spoken. Since he said to report this to the upper authorities, nobody could touch Louis anymore, even if Cash dearly wanted to.Just then, someone hurried into the room and said anxiously, “Shit, Wilson Kenne is dead!”Dead?Louis was shocked. He looked terrified.Lulu, still on the floor, hurriedly lifted her hand and confessed, “I was wrong! Officers, someone called Evan Wright gave me the 200 thousand dollars to do this to Louis! I still have the texts and voice messages from him!”Lulu wasn’t a foolish woman. She did her homework well. When Evan had come looking for her, she had already heard about his boss, the son of the King of Aurum County.She hadn’t accepted to do this to Louis purely for the money. She was also using it as an opportunity to get closer t
They went to a quieter area. Horace was still shaking all over.John offered him a cigarette and lit it up for him. He drew a deep breath and said, “I tried my best today.”“I know it’s not your fault. It was that fucker Isaac,” Horace said through gritted teeth.After thinking for a long while, John said hesitantly, “About Isaac, I’d advise you not to mess with him any longer.”Horace looked up and glared at John with red eyes. He growled, “I am 55 years old this year, and Wilson was my only son. He’s dead now because of Isaac. Would you not want to avenge your son’s death if this happened to you?”John kept quiet. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to understand what Horace was going through.However, he also wanted to say that it served Wilson right for starting this whole fiasco in the first place.“Anyway, I’m letting you know that we’ve received word from the authorities to cover up this incident. And on my side…”Horace laughed and said, “If there’s nothing you can do to help, the
