“My dear daughter, why are you even asking such a dumb question?” Mr. Brown whispered back to Ayra. His face held a grave expression. “Someone was definitely sent by William much earlier to infiltrate our home and disguise themselves as an ordinary maid or housekeeper. Then they probably had a secret camera on at all times.”Mrs. Brown wasn’t dumb either. She had been involved in various scheming ever since she was little, and thus, she quickly grasped what her husband was saying. “The camera they used to record our conversation was probably a top-tier quality. This way, they’ve made it hard for us to deny any of the words found in this video if we should ever find ourselves in court.”Right now, The Brown family knew that they were in big trouble at this moment. The video on the huge screen clearly stated that it was taking an intermission break, which meant that there were still more videos to be shown.Ayra was scared, to the point that she was fidgeting. “Mom, Dad, what are we
The lawyer to the left glared slightly before averting his gaze. “Mr. Brown, calm down. We will have to see everything first before we know the best course of action to take.”Mr. Brown knew that the lawyer was speaking sensibly, so he could only suck in his frustration as he sat back in his seat. At this point, he was starting to regret that he didn’t stop his wife and daughter from going through with their horrible plan.At this moment, the video played automatically, resuming from where it had stopped. It’s like whoever put this video together knew that the intermission break would be a necessity in the first place.Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the large screen. In this video, they watched Ayra talking to Wilson and Donald about how they had spiked William’s drink and their spy had confirmed that their target had consumed the drink. Then the hidden camera recording everything showed the man who they were wearing the fake skin mask over his face, and thus, making him look like
Ayra was not the only one who had figured out what happened. Mr. Brown is an intelligent man and Mrs. Brown is a schemer. The lawyers they hired were also intellectual individuals who were trained to think ahead of their average counterparts if they hoped to win a case. Then there’s the lawyers from Glorianti-Ocean Law firm. They also realized what William had done. Camilla is a prodigy among her peers in one of the most competitive families in the world, so William's game was quite decipherable at this point. As for Andre and Tracy, it took a bit of conversing with Camilla and William before they grasped it.The game that William played with all three members of the Brown family required the meticulous alignment of certain aspects like; an unmatched mind, resources in terms of connection, status, wealth, and ability to make a cohesive team. With what William had achieved, he had shown everyone in this room that he was truly a capable man, despite being a university heartthrob in hi
Ayra was in deep trouble. This was something she had become very aware of the second the video content in that flash drive had revealed everything that she did. She was already trying to think of ways that her father could get her out of this trouble. But then she heard the head of police officers' words directed at her and her family and she couldn’t believe it. That was why she lurched from her seat to yell at the law enforcement officer.Camilla and Tracy couldn’t help but snicker as they watched Ayra. The Brown daughter currently looked like a once proud peacock that had now been turned frustrated as it had been stripped of all its proud feathers. There was no longer any beauty in her demeanor, just a young woman filled with so much ugliness.The head of police officers sneered at Ayra, before shifting his gaze to Mrs. Brown. “You three had the audacity to bribe a subordinate of mine into corruption. While Mr. William Chain was in his cell, that police officer would come over i
William smiled at Camilla warmly while rubbing a soothing hand over the sore spot Camilla had just pressed on. “You won’t hear any argument from me.”Ayra was fuming at the interaction between William and Camilla. The way William was speaking to Camilla was the exact same way that William used to speak to him back when they were still secretly dating. Back then, Ayra could tell that William was in love with her, but she only tolerated him because he had an attractive face and body. Now, the tone that she had taken for granted, was now the reason she was infuriated. She hated that William was speaking to Camilla with this tone in his voice. This is because it was a clear proof to her that William had fallen in love with Camilla. She hated this a lot. William was supposed to end up with her, and yet, everything had turned out the opposite of what she wanted.Meanwhile, Mrs. Brown was urging the lawyers to not just sit there like fools, but her husband harshly pulled her back.“Don’t
“Apology, not accepted.” Camilla sneered at this police officer. “You’re not really sorry for what you did to my….to William, you’re just sorry that you got caught.” Externally, Camilla portrayed and kept up her angry demeanor, but deep inside, she was losing her mind over the slight mistake she had made in her moment of anger. She had almost referred to the man as ‘My William’. Luckily, she caught herself before she could utter the rest of the word that would have left her in utter dread.Still, William stared at Camilla with a gentle smile. He knew what the gorgeous woman was about to call him a moment ago, but he said nothing as this place was not appropriate to fawn over it. Plus, he could tell that she was embarrassed.The bribed police officer was cursing Camilla in his heart at this point. “With all due respect, Miss Parker, I was talking to Mr. Chain.”“Well then, you should know that whatever Miss Camilla says here on my behalf, is duly in representation of my words. Mis
“There was never a warrant requested to permit the arrest of the Brown family.” Andre was the one to reply to Tracy before William could say anything. “Fuck! I actually forgot about that.” Camilla muttered these words under her breath as she glared at The Brown family. “Wait, so that means after everything we just showed the police, they can’t apprehend that evil witch and her parents just because a warrant hasn’t been obtained!” Tracy couldn’t believe what was going on. “It’s okay, Tracy.” William placed a comforting hand on her shoulder “At the end of the day, they will inevitably get arrested. The pieces of evidence are here with the head of police himself, so there is no escape for Ayra and her parents.” Even though William spoke with a reassuring voice, he had a cold stare that pretended to be focused on Tracy’s frustrated expression, but in reality, William was watching the expressions on The Brown family’s face. He soon noticed something peculiar with Mr. Brown. Immediat
Andre stared at William, reading the silent message in his eyes before he nodded. Even though he didn’t understand fully why William was suddenly in a rush to leave this place, he knew that it couldn’t be good. Therefore, Andre stood up and walked to the head of police officers who was busy talking things over with the team of lawyers hired by the Brown family, and the team of lawyers hired by William.“Officer, since all has been proven here, I believe I can take away my dear friend from this station, right? As you’re away, he’s still quite bruised from the beatings he got at the hands of that corrupted police officer, so….” He had purposely mentioned that corrupt police officer as he knew that this would raise the already high probability of The head of police officers allowing William to leave. After all, that corrupted police officer was under his command and worked in his police district of the city. This meant that he was effectively responsible as the superior to that br
