"Alright, the results are out. Let me read them for you. After all, it's not very appropriate for the four of you to huddle around such a small phone, and it's a bit hot, don't you think?" Koven said to the three of them.Immediately, the three of them looked at each other and quickly straightened up while looking away. All their faces turned as red as a monkey's bottom."Okay, hurry up and say it. Stop beating about the bush," Matthew quickly urged Koven."The investigation into Hudson's uncle revealed quite a lot. Last year, he took some of the shares of the Xender family for himself and also had some dealings with the Farrow family. He deliberately messed things up, causing a huge loss to the Farrow family. "However, this sum of money didn't appear in the company's accounts. Instead, it went into his own account. "Two years ago, due to tax issues, he had someone else go to jail for him and paid them five million dollars annually. Later on, when he had to find another person t
"But I have to remind you, if you choose the first method, which is to warn your uncle, then there's a chance that he might destroy this evidence in the future and continue to make mistakes and evade justice. "But if he's sent in, it's different. Even though he might come out after several decades, by then, he'd be an old man with no influence. He wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. Besides, by that time, we'd be able to defeat him no matter what considering the circumstances."Your uncle's influence is definitely not as simple as it seems now. But decades later, he'll be a lonely old man when he comes out of prison, so you'll be able to relax a little," Charlie said, looking at Hudson.He wanted to ask for Hudson's opinion since this was Hudson's uncle they were talking about. No one else had the right to interfere in his affairs. If Hudson still felt indebted to his uncle, there was nothing the rest could do. If Hudson was determined to solve this problem, he would gradually r
"You can rest assured. As a lawyer, I've already memorized what Koven just said even though I only heard it once. These matters are quite straightforward for me, okay?" Hudson felt that they did not trust him to remember these words and gave them a stern look."Alright, alright. You've memorized it all. Got it," Koven replied, shooting him a glare.Hudson remained silent at the moment. Seeing his concern, Koven said to him, "Hudson, are you still reminiscing about the past with your uncle? You need to understand that your uncle has been acting behind your back all this while, and he should be subject to legal sanctions. However, he escaped punishment. Shouldn't you let the law judge your uncle for his actions? "If you want to deal with your uncle, then this is a step you must take. After all, Charlie, Matthew, and I will respect your choice. If you refuse, we won't insist. If you want your uncle to face legal consequences, Charlie will definitely help you. And I'll continue to su
Hudson's words made the other three people look across the street.Koven noticed that the car was the same one that almost hit Charlie earlier, and he said loudly, "Isn't that the car that almost hit Charlie just now? Why was he driving so fast?"Koven, knowing that this was Hudson's uncle, thought to himself how rude Josiah was.Charlie looked at Koven and did not know what to say, so he just said, "Just bear with it. After all, he's Hudson's uncle, and Hudson hasn't said anything."At this moment, Koven, feeling dissatisfied, said, "That car almost hit you just now. I'm trying to help you out, and this is what I get? Fine, I won't help you anymore."Charlie looked at him helplessly.Matthew frowned as he looked at the figure getting out of the car across the street."Your uncle looks pretty imposing getting out of the car, even more so than I do," Matthew said to Hudson.Hudson snorted coldly upon hearing this. "Imposing, huh? He's imposing because he's done shady things behi
Hudson laughed coldly at these words, then said, "Do you really not know what I'm talking about? All those things you did behind my back, do you think I don't know about them? And back then, you used me to do your dirty work. I know every bit of it."So what are you trying to deny now? I'm truly disappointed in you."Josiah's face changed for a moment upon hearing this, then he quickly switched to a smile and said to the four of them, "Haha, don't take his words seriously. Hudson has always been a bit reckless with his words since he was young. I tried to teach him, but he wouldn't heed my advice."But Hudson, I truly don't know what bad things you're talking about. Honestly, I have no idea. I've always acted rightly and straightforwardly."Hudson, I raised you from a young age. How could you not trust me even a little? Would you rather believe what these outsiders say?"After finishing his speech, Josiah's expression turned gloomy as he looked at Hudson, waiting for his response.
"Hudson, I've always walked the straight and narrow, and you shouldn't let those three trick you. It'll only hurt our family. Remember how I taught you not to trust strangers so easily? And now you're taking their side against me? "Hudson, you're not making any sense. I handed you a huge company that can operate well on its own, and you still don't know what to do with it. I've done so much for you, Hudson. "I don't need riches or wealth in the future. I just want to know you'll be there for me when I'm old. But now, you're actually teaming up with outsiders against your own family. Aren't you scared of facing negative consequences?" Josiah said, his voice filled with emotion.Hudson just laughed calmly and stared back at him. "Sure, Uncle. You've done a lot for me. You raised me, told me to obey you, gave me the best education, the best start in life, and even let me be born in Rompton. "But you're too controlling. And those things you had me do over the years? They make me sic
"Alright""Mr. Josiah, it's too awkward to chat out here. Let's go inside the café to talk. We've spent a lot of time getting ready to meet you this afternoon.'We even checked out lots of tips because you're so experienced. We wanted to make sure we took this seriously,' Charlie thought. Then, with his hands in his pockets, he headed into the café.Josiah seemed to have no choice but to follow, with the three trailing behind him into the café.Once the five of them were seated, the mood turned a bit tense.Josiah broke the silence first, saying, "Let's hear it. What did you want to talk about today? Just lay it all out now because I don't want to have to come back. I'm a busy man."After saying that, Josiah took a sip of his coffee.Hudson then said, "We just wanted to ask if you were the one who got Lacee out of jail today. However, we found out there's more to the story, more people pulling strings. So, we thought we'd ask everything now. "That way, we can all be open with
Feeling backed into a corner, Josiah raised his voice at the three of them, "I've said it a million times, I've got nothing to do with Lacee—end of story. Quit your wild guessing. "If you don't stop, I'm going to sue you for slander. I bet that means jail time, at least a couple of weeks, right?"Charlie could hardly keep from laughing. "If you're clueless about the law, just ask me about it. I'm a lawyer, and not just any lawyer, but someone at the top of my field. Don't worry about anything. If I were to get tough, you wouldn't stand a chance. "And just so you know, we asked Hudson on the way over whether to lock you up for a long stretch and let you out after you become an old man or just scare you a bit this time and let you off the hook. "I asked Hudson earlier, but now, I'm asking you. What's it going to be? Do you want to come out when you have a full head of white hair or enjoy your remaining days in peace? You don't have many left, after all."Charlie finished with a s
