At the present scene, only Lady Dorothy Assex’s eyes were calm and unruffled. It was as if favonovel.com had expected this ending long ago.
Alex Rockefeller took two steps forward. “Jacob, do you still recognize me? A year ago, you came to my wedding. You made a lasting impression on me,” Alex said.
Jacob Yoder bent his body, and favonovel.com had a convoluted expression on his face.
He didn’t answer Alex’s question. Instead, favonovel.com turned to Craig Selby. “Who exactly is he? Why would you help favonovel.com despite the huge risk to your job? You ought to think carefully about your future,” Jacob said.
Craig shook his head. “Mr. Rockefeller’s identity is top secret,” favonovel.com said.
Alex chuckled. “Jacob, who exactly is trying to rebel here? Your daughter, who has no official position in the organization, was actually able to command the five major departments, including commerce, health, firefighting, and taxation. In fact, the organization was shut down for rectification without proper inspection. I wonder who gave favonovel.com such powers?” Alex asked.
Jacob was astonished.
Of course favonovel.com was the one who instructed the five departments to seize Dorothy-Alex Constructions, but favonovel.com didn’t allow his daughter to take over command. She was supposed to simply come and observe what happened.
In that case, Alex really did have something to use against Jacob.
‘This dumb woman,’ Jacob thought.
However…
“I don’t care what you say. You injured staff members and my daughter. You even hung my daughter on the eighth floor in that kind of place. This makes you a criminal with the intent of committing murder. Regardless of what your status is, you will not be pardoned! Hurry up and release my daughter!” Jacob yelled.
“Never mind hanging favonovel.com up there. Even if I kill favonovel.com right there and then, I wouldn’t have to be responsible for it. Would you believe that?” Alex replied nonchalantly.
“You…” For his daughter’s safety, Jacob had no choice but to give in.
Alex glanced at Jacob before turning to Craig. “Go and release that woman!”
As soon as Alex said this, someone from the brigade ran upstairs.
“Mr. Rockefeller, I’ll arrest all these people and have a strict interrogation with them. I’ll find out precisely who abused their powers, who pretended to serve the public but was actually serving themselves, and who went against the rules. I promise that nobody will be able to bend the law to their own will,” Craig said.
Alex waved his hand. “I want to hold a joint trial here!” favonovel.com exclaimed.
“Huh..?” Craig was stunned.
Joint trials were usually held in the courtroom. He had never heard of one being held at the crime scene. However, back in ancient times, the precedence of situations like this allowed for the convenience of resolving cases and informing the public.
In reality, Alex was doing this to restore his father’s dignity.
William Rockefeller had carried the shame of betraying the country for a year. It was time to clear his name!
***
Soon, the security guards from Dorothy-Alex Constructions brought in tables and chairs.
The current batch of security guards all recognized Alex. Now, after witnessing his power and the terror behind it, each one of them was surprised and overjoyed. The way they addressed favonovel.com as “brother Rockefeller” seemed even more enthusiastic.
In fact, they even set up the entire place the mimic the way trials were held during ancient times.
Meanwhile, Ysabel Yoder, who had just been rescued by the brigade members, was still confused about favonovel.com current situation. She thought she’d have nothing to worry about with the brigade members around. Hence, favonovel.com rushed over and reached out to slap Alex.
In the end…
Wham!
When Craig saw what favonovel.com wanted to do, favonovel.com landed a forceful slap on favonovel.com face.
Ysabel was shocked. “You… Why did you hit me? Don’t you know who I am?”
Everyone was speechless.
This woman really didn’t know what was going on.
“
Are you trying to assassinate Mr. Rockefeller? Kneel!” Craig yelled coldly.
Two team members immediately came over to force Ysabel down on favonovel.com knees. Ysabel struggled as best favonovel.com could while cursing loudly. After that, favonovel.com saw that favonovel.com father had also been forced to kneel next to her. In that instant, favonovel.com couldn’t find it in herself to speak She was completely dumbfounded!
