Chapter 998
Summon Of The Sword
âB*stard! Heâs framing me! Heâs setting me up! Turn it off!â
Gordon lost his composure and immediately tried to turn off the big screen.
However, the screen was remote-controlled, and there was no on-off button.
Gordon could not even find the wiring headboard.
He wanted to block everyoneâs eyes, but he could not.
The scene on the screen continued.
âMr. Zigger, I thought this was a nice briefcase, so I bought one for you.
âPlease pay more attention to that thing with Sean!â
Jamesâ voice came from the video.
A brand-new passcode briefcase was also pushed up to Gordon.
The contents of the briefcase were unknown, but they could figure out what it was.
âSure!
âWeâll ruin Sean this time.â
Gordon laughed and accepted the briefcase without hesitation.
âLetâs talk more about our next planâ¦â
James in the video continued to talk.
Frantic, Gordon suddenly lifted a chair and hurled it at the screen.
Bang! Clang!
Gordon instantly smashed the screen.
After a few flickers, it darkened instantly.
The image on the screen disappeared too.
âNo, itâs false. Itâs all false. I didnât!â
Gordon slowly squatted on the ground, his eyes filled with horror.
However, others had already seen the most critical aspect of the video.
This video was enough to prove that Gordon and James were involved in shady business.
Gordon did take a bribe from James.
If it got exposed, he would be put to prison, never mind getting a promotion.
There was a deathly silence at the wine party.
Many people had aghast expressions.
No one dared to speak first to break the silence for a while.
âYou guys conspired to make a plan.
âThen you used me as a scapegoat and treated the entire River City business circle like clowns.
âIs this what you call development for River City?â
It was eventually Sean who spoke first and broke the silence.
âIâ¦â
Gordon crouched, his face ghastly pale.
James was shaking with anger. How could he have known that Gordon had filmed their deal?
It was okay to film it, but how did Sean get it?
Now that everyone had seen the video, what should they do?
Whatever James said, there was no way to hide the fact that he was in cahoots with Gordon.
Jon and Quill slowly slumped in their chairs.
The situation was now out of their hands.
Even if Gordon told the truth, Sean had transferred Zimmer Corporationâs money.
However, the video proved that Gordon and James were in cahoots.
Then everything he said could have been lying for James.
How could the company owners not suspect them?
Sure enough, the company owners who had been outraged all fell silent.
Their trust in James also disappeared gradually.
âPeople can sense injustice.
âI wonât say much. You can judge for yourselves.â
Sean slowly turned around and went back to his seat.
It was still quiet.
Willowâs eyes were full of admiration as she could not stop staring at Sean.
Just now, Sean was the public enemy, and Willow was distressed.
However, when everyone thought Sean could not get back on his feet, he counterattacked with a special move.
Gordon and James were now put on the spot in front of all the people there.
âComm⦠Mr. Lennon, when⦠when did you make this arrangement?â
Zander could not resist asking.
As Seanâs most trusted subordinate, he had been helping Sean with various plans.
However, he did not even know this.
âIâll tell you later.â
Sean shook his head slightly, not wanting to explain right now.
It was because he knew James and Gordon would never admit defeat.
They must have other plans too.
Sure enough, James was quiet for a few seconds before targeting Sean again.
âEverybody, we have no right to intervene with Mr. Ziggerâs business. Itâs up to the higher- ups to decide.â
The main point of this wine party was to expose Seanâs conspiracy.
âI hope you donât get confused about your priorities.â
James glanced at Sean before saying to the crowd.
It was important to calm down the crowd.
âWhat a joke!
âYouâve bribed your witness. Can we believe his words?â
Homer immediately hit the table and got up with a sneer on his face.
Bill picked his teeth as he added.
âWell, if thatâs a credible witness, I have many more witnesses on my side.
âI have hundreds of men who want money from me, and they will say whatever I tell them.â
The twoâs words seemed to speak everyoneâs mind.
James had bribed Gordon.
He would say whatever James told him to say.
What he said before about Sean transferring the money did not make sense.
Maybe it was what Sean said.
Jen-Bond Holdings and Zimmer Corporation had teamed up to take on the River City business circle and make Sean the scapegoat.
Jamesâs face darkened as he clenched his fist slowly.
Was this fight going to end with Sean winning?
