Thaddeus remained cool and collected, his tone rich with implications, âMoreover, I've always felt that we're not enemies, Lawyer Lee. Perhaps, we're just friends caught on opposite sides of the fence.â
âFriends...â Lawyer Lee felt a warmth in his eyes, barely believing his own ears.
âBesides, I believe, Lawyer Lee, since you've risked your life to meet me, it shows that deep down, you already regard me as your ally, right?â
Thaddeus spoke softly, yet his words hit home.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lawyer Lee, a top-notch attorney, a fifty-year-old man, broke down in tears in front of Thaddeus, expressing deep frustration:
âMr. Thaddeus, I canât take it anymore. I donât want to spend another day by Averyâs side... In his presence, humans are reduced to mere beasts, nothing more!
Previously, when I worked for Mr. Chambers, despite his flaws, he was compassionate towards me and took care of my family.
But after Mr. Chambers passed away, Avery has been covertly watching over my spouse and son, threatening their lives if I ever betray him! He knew of my loyalty to Mr. Chambers, and to control me, he resorted to threatening my familyâs safety, a tactic that never fails him! Despicable! Sly!â
Listening to Lawyer Leeâs accusations, Thaddeus frowned deeply, with Gordon beside him also sighing in anger.
âThe Chambers Group was nothing but a façade for Averyâs dirty dealings. Behind the scenes, heâs into smuggling, drug trafficking... you name it, no lawlessness he hasnât indulged in!
He even... asked me to alter Mr. Chambersâ will!â
Thaddeusâs eyes darkened, âWhat happened?â
âMr. Chambers, aware of his declining health, had me as a notary public to draft his will in my presence. Whether it was the management rights to the Chambers Group or the Chambers familyâs wealth, he didnât leave a penny to Avery!â
Lawyer Lee was livid, âAvery usurped everything by force, a real nest thief!â
Thaddeus narrowed his eyes slightly, âLawyer Lee, I have a question for you, can you answer it?â
âPlease ask, Iâll spare no details!â
âMr. Chambersâ death, was Avery involved?â
Lawyer Leeâs pupils shrank, âThough I did not witness it... but it must be related to him!
Mr. Chambers had a heart condition, but with timely medication, it wouldnât have been fatal. That day, when Mr. Chambers had the attack, only he was present. Mr. Chambers always carried quick-relief heart pills, yet that day he didnât take any, and later I found the pills were missing!
Could it be that Avery just watched Mr. Chambers suffer and did nothing to help?! â
Gordon remarked, âIt makes sense, but we have no evidence!â
Lawyer Lee shook his head in frustration and anger.
âAveryâs crimes are too many to count. Mr. Chambersâ death is regrettable, but convicting Avery doesnât hinge on this one life alone.â
Thaddeus looked at him seriously, âLawyer Lee, if I ask you to come forward and accuse Avery of altering the will and illegally seizing property, can you do it?â
âI can, but Iâm worried about my family...â
âDonât worry, my wife and I will do everything to ensure your and your familyâs safety. I can use my private jet to send your spouse and son abroad without leaving any entry or exit records for Avery to trace. If he can, let him search the world over.
Once things stabilize here, Iâll bring them back to you, how does that sound?â Thaddeus spoke earnestly and sincerely.
Lawyer Lee, wiping away tears, nodded gratefully:
âAlright... Iâll cooperate fully with you to remove the cancer that is Avery!â
After strategizing in the car, Lawyer Lee got out and left.
âGordon, have someone follow him discreetly. Iâm worried he might be in danger,â Thaddeus, influenced by his thoughtful partner, was becoming more meticulous.
âUnderstood!â Gordon immediately got out of the car.
The black SUV headed towards the Abernathy Group.
Halfway there, Thaddeus received a call from Evadne, her voice trembling with emotion:
âThaddeus, come to the station right away. Wayne wants to see us!â
