Steven raised his eyebrows. “Mr. Wallace, you’ve heard it. Joel indeed made a mistake in suppressing the matter in a moment of panic, which he shouldn’t have. But it was because he didn’t want you to get the wrong idea. It was indeed inappropriate of him not to tell you the truth and instead get his man to destroy the corpse. I admit that he shouldn’t have done that, and I can apologize to you for it.“However, he explained everything very clearly. William Belmont definitely has a greater motive for killing him!“Furthermore, there are some obvious questionable points in this matter. For example, how could it be so coincidental for there to be a video of Joel ordering subordinates to destroy the corpse and then be sent to you afterward?“Mr. Preston, aren’t you curious about who the mastermind is?“I reckon that you, who loves your son so much, definitely don’t want to be used by the real murderer, do you?”After speaking, Steven deliberately glanced at William, seemingly hinting at s
Trying to shirk responsibility
Steven glanced at William, enraged by his condescending tone so much that he burst into laughter. “Punk, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to interrupt us talking?”Richard’s face immediately darkened, and he shouted at Steven, “Steven Wallace, who are you to be disrespectful to Mr. Belmont!”John, who was present, also stood up and said austerely, “Mr. Wallace, Mr. Belmont isn’t someone you can shout at as you please!”Victor’s face turned cold as he warned, “Whoever dares to be rude to Mr. Belmont like this again, the Hales won’t spare you!”In an instant, the helmsmen of three top-tier companies all came forward to defend William and even retorted against Steven.This scene left everyone present in disbelief.“Who… who exactly is this young man? How come the helmsmen of these three great families defend him and even respectfully call him Mr. Belmont?”“It’s really strange. These people don’t even take Steven seriously. Why are they being so polite and protective of th
All eyes on him
A tough man like Ryan was so overwhelmed with grief and misery that he had been reduced to such a state.Many people present were parents themselves, and they were full of empathy for Ryan.Influenced by his sorrow and anger, they looked at Joel with some hostility.If their child was killed so brutally by someone who claimed to be their best buddy and even denied having killed them, they would also be just as grief-stricken and would also seek justice for their child even if it meant completely offending the Wallaces.Steven’s face was extremely terrifying.He looked around at the crowd while countless thoughts raced through his mind.From a rational point of view, the best thing to do now was probably to hand over his grandson Joel to Ryan and leave him at the latter’s disposal.Then he would apologize and try to gain these families’ understanding to save the Wallaces’ image and dispel their suspicions.However, such an approach would bruise his ego!He was about to become the hegem
Blown out of proportion
Some people who had seen Kobe immediately exclaimed, “That’s indeed Kobe Preston’s corpse!”“I didn’t expect that Kobe is really dead!”“The red Maserati indeed belongs to Joel. It’s his license plate. Based on the background, it should be in the Wallaces’ villa!”“Oh my God. They all say that Kobe is Joel’s top lackey and extremely obedient to him. I can’t believe that Joel really killed him.”“Hey, I heard that the Prestons have always been respectful to the Wallaces, but I never thought that such a thing would happen. He actually killed Ryan Preston’s only son and even denied it. He’s gone overboard!”“I think we have to be careful in our cooperation with the Wallaces! If we encounter this kind of thing one day, we’ll end up really miserable!”“Yeah, who do the Wallaces think they are? Do they take us cooperative partners as slaves they can easily bully?”At first, many people were shocked that Kobe had really died in Joel’s hands.But soon, the topic of the conversation turned to
Conclusive evidence
Ryan’s voice was full of anger and resentment.At the thought that he almost lost the chance to see his son’s body yesterday, he wished he could skin Joel alive!If not for the fact that the Prestons’ power was inferior to the Wallaces’, he would have long gone to Joel to demand that he pay for it with his life.There would have been no point in enduring until now.He initially planned to use the power of several major families in Avalon to deal with the Wallaces slowly.But when Ryan saw Steven’s actions, he knew that he couldn’t afford to wait any longer.If he had continued waiting, the Wallaces would probably have become the greatest hegemon in Avalon.In that case, he would never be able to complete his plan for revenge.In that case, no matter what, he had to expose the Wallaces’ evil deeds so that the families who wanted to rely on the Wallaces, faithfully follow them, and slog their guts out for them would see what would happen at the very end!William looked up at Ryan with a
A tense business exchange
After leaving the Emerald Garden, Celia still felt amused by the scene. “William, did you see it?... Nessa’s face was so ugly. I’ve never seen her so upset since we were best friends. It’s incredible!”“Uh… You don’t feel bad that your former best friend ended up in such a plight, do you?” William asked hesitantly.Celia gave it some serious thought before saying casually, “At the beginning, I did feel a little sad. But after everything that’s happened today, I’ve completely seen Nessa’s true colors. Now that I think about the things that happened in high school, I realize she probably never genuinely treated me as her friend!“So, she’s merely shown her true colors now. I was never really her best friend before, and now, we have nothing to do with each other. I didn’t really lose anything. After thinking about it like this, I feel more relaxed!”Celia waved her hand, seemingly throwing away the unpleasant memories of the past, and then suddenly laughed. “But speaking of which, she ha
