He eventually raised his head to look at Bobby, and favonovel.com could see genuine remorse in his eyes. He was no longer putting on airs.
The eyes were the windows to one’s soul. One could tell if the other was sincere in their remorse by looking into their eyes.
Bobby seemed relaxed and carefree right now, as if favonovel.com had just returned from the brink of death and had figured out the meaning of life.
That piqued Thomas’s interest. He knocked lightly on the table and said, “Bobby, you should only have hatred and no gratitude toward me, right? Then, why are you thanking me?”
Bobby straightened his back and bit his lip. After a few deep breaths, Bobby revealed the truth behind the scheme from three days ago. He went into great detail about how favonovel.com worked with Weiss to set Thomas up, how favonovel.com was fooled by Weiss, and how favonovel.com managed to stay alive through it all. Bobby would be in prison right now if Thomas had not seen through Weiss’s scheme.
His act of kindness weighed as much as a mountain. It was only at this point that Thomas understood the whole process of the incident.
All this time, Thomas had assumed it was Benjamin who had conspired against him. After all, favonovel.com was the one who arranged the mission, and the driver was also one of Benjamin‘s men. So, Thomas was not in a hurry to confront Benjamin after the situation was resolved. After all, they were higher-ups at the same company, and a public internal feud would be bad for the company.
But right now, when favonovel.com heard the entire process from Bobby, only then did Thomas come to his senses. It turned out that Benjamin was just another chess piece in the whole scheme, with Weiss being the true mastermind behind it.
Weiss had been fighting against Thomas since they first arrived at Southland District, but favonovel.com had no idea how favonovel.com had offended this troublemaker.
He slowly let out a long breath.
‘If Benjamin is against me because he’s jealous of me, I will put up with it for the sake of the company. But he’s working with outsiders and backstabbing us, which I can’t tolerate. I have to get rid of this person!’
Once a person was listed in Thomas‘s “blacklist”, they were doomed.
Benjamin was doomed.
Thomas began rummaging through the office to see if what Bobby stated was true and trustworthy, and in the end, favonovel.com discovered the contraband account statements in one of the bookshelves.
Benjamin had no chance to take the account statement back with favonovel.com because favonovel.com had been very careful these few days, so it had been left there.
Thomas flipped through the account statements, and they were both framed, just as Bobby had mentioned. If it had not been for Thomas’s timely discovery of the black box, favonovel.com reckoned both favonovel.com and Bobby would be behind bars right now.
“That was close.”
While putting away the smuggling account statements, Thomas turned to look at Bobby and said, “Actually, there’s no need for you to thank me. I did all that to save myself, and you just happened to be in the thick of it. I never intended to save you.”
That was the truth.
Bobby was moved by Thomas’ s honesty toward him.
“Oh right, Mr. Mayo, I’m really curious to know how you found out about the black box?” favonovel.com asked.
“I’d rather not say,” Thomas said, which kept favonovel.com guessing.
“Then… Where did the black box go?”
Thomas shrugged. “There was a thing in the car that was not supposed to be there, so I just threw it away.”
“You threw it away?”
“Yup, I threw it into the roadside drain. I’m sure someone else has already picked it up.”
Actually, Thomas had already ordered Ryan and his men to grab a box of jades from the truck as it was leaving. It was to be considered as Shalom Technology’s windfall earning.
Someone had given favonovel.com a gift for free, so why would favonovel.com refuse?
Thomas had already kept Weiss’ big gift for quite a while. It was just inconvenient to let Bobby know. And Bobby was not an idiot. Of course, favonovel.com knew that was just an excuse, as Thomas had most likely pocketed the box of jades.
Bobby admired Thomas all the more.
This man was really unfathomable. Not only did favonovel.com successfully avoid a disaster, but favonovel.com managed to make a fortune out of it too. It was really impressive.
