Chapter 1072
Carl was on his knees in front of Clayton, eyes brimming with tears, “Bro p>
Clayton snapped, “Don’t call me bro! You were the one who said you wanted to cut ties completely. We have nothing to do with each other anymore p>
“Bro, come on, we share the same mother, how can we just sever ties like that? I was wrong, bro, I was just blowing hot air. Don’t take what I said seriously p>
“Hmph, save your act, it makes me sick p>
“Bro p>
Tarquin handed Clayton a stack of papers, “Over the years, Carl has been involved in a myriad of illegal activities. This is all the evidence. If handed over to the cops, he’d be looking at at least ten years p>
Clayton first gave his son-in-law a look of warm affection before taking the documents.
After reading, he clenched his teeth, “Call the cops! Someone like him doesn’t deserve freedom p>
Hearing this, Carl was terrified, “Bro, I was wrong. I was led astray, you know I’m easily influenced. I really see my mistake now! Bro, please, give me another chance. I’ll do anything you say from now on, I won’t mess up again. Bro, I don’t want to go to jail, please p>
Clayton was unyielding, “If you really know you’re wrong, then serve your time and reflect on your actions! Alden, call the police p>
Carl collapsed, utterly terrified.
The others were shaking in their boots!
If Clayton could be this harsh with his own brother, what about them?
Philip was panicking. According to the agreement, if he lost, his shares would be confiscated!
He felt like a drowned rat, left with nothing!
Knowing Clayton wouldn’t let him off the hook, Philip played his last card, attempting to use Betty as leverage, “Clayton, think about your mother!” Everyone echoed, “Yeah, think of Betty p>
Betty had become their lifeline.
Clayton, known for his filial piety, couldn’t act rashly with Betty as leverage.
But before Clayton could explode, Tarquin calmly said, “Dad, don’t worry. We’ve found grandma. She’s safe at home now p>
Tarquin played a video for everyone to see.
It showed Betty being rescued by bodyguards that morning, and now she was happily with Pamela.
Elysia added, “Dad, grandma was saved from the Watson family’s basement. They’re the kidnappers p>
Clayton was shocked, then turned to Albert with rage, “You… it was you! Have you forgotten the kindness my parents showed you? You’re truly despicable p>
Albert collapsed, coughing up blood, nearly meeting his end right there!
Tarquin continued, “The Watson family are kidnappers, and the Miller family are their accomplices. Everyone here had a hand in it; none are innocent or clean.
From what I’ve found, their crimes carry sentences of over five years each!
Philip is the worst offender, embezzling funds and smuggling contraband, posing a threat to national security. He’s looking at life or even the death penalty. These are all the evidence p>
Clayton, trembling with emotion, took the evidence.
These documents were like swords, allowing him to legally strike at his enemies and vent his anger.
“Hand them over to the police, let them deal with it, let them taste the consequences,” Clayton declared.
Hearing this, Philip fainted, and the others collapsed, pale as ghosts.
Outside the company, the Patel brothers saw a squad of armed police rushing into the building, their expressions grave.
Unaware of the chaos inside and not having seen Tarquin and Elysia enter, they thought Clayton was in trouble and were ready to burst in to rescue him!
The security, on Philip’s payroll, didn’t recognize the Patel brothers but knew they were there to protect Clayton.
So, they blocked their way, throwing threats and insults with an air of superiority.
