Chapter 2063
Carl's blood ran cold at Jameson's words. He couldn't bring himself to speak.
"| told you to keep Nicholas under close watch, and as | expected, he's been communicating with someone." A cruel, mockinglaugh escaped Jameson's lips. "Didn't | tell you? In this world, only the dead can be truly trusted." "You're a genius, Mr. Schmidt!"Admiration and shock warred on Carl's face. "But, how did you realize something was off with Chief Novak?" "He askedabout thedrug development progress the other day, completely out of the blue. Never before has he bothered himself with such minordetails." Jameson circled the table, picking up a photo from a stack. He studied it with chilling coldness. The picture capturedJasper placing a lighter in Nicholas’ hand during their meeting at a café.novelbin
Along moment passed before Jameson crumpled the photo into a tight ball, his eyes hardening with repressed fury.
“Are you planning to..." Carl ventured cautiously. "Forgive my bluntness, but Chief Novak has been invaluable. He has handledmuch of your dirty work flawlessly, yet the police have never managed to pin anything on him. They were like headless chickens,hitting walls at every turn.
"Despite his average position in Solana City, he wields considerable power-manipulating police investigations and ridding you ofproblems. "We have no idea what transpired during his meeting with Mr. Beckett. For all we know, it could be a setup to sowdiscord between you and Chief Novak.
"| don't think he is bold enough to betray you. He has blood on his hands that we can use against him. Besides, his wife's lifehangs by a thread. | don't think he would act this recklessly." "I don't need him anymore," Jameson said calmly.
"W-What did you say?" "I received a call from Sir last night." A smile played on Jameson's pale lips, a glint of triumph in his eyes."Sir toldthat there is a breakthrough in the drug experiment in Mosgravia, so we can stop the experiments in Solana City.
"Since we don't need to run the experiments anymore, | have no use for our cleaner, Nicholas. Honestly, | never intended tokeep him around from the start." Carl felt his breath hitch in his throat, a cold dread slithering down his spine.
"He knows too many of our secrets. No matter his past contributions or determination, | will never keep him around."Jamesonpaused, turning to Carl with an unexpected tenderness. "However, you are the exception. You're not just my subordinate; you'refamily 1"| owe my success not just to Sir's guidance but your support as well. Once things settle, I'll make you a shareholder andput you on the Schmidt Group board of directors. You have proven your loyalty to me. | wifftreat you well." Gratitude washed overCarl's face. His lips trembled as he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Schmidt! | swear that I'll never betray you. Otherwise, letdie a tragicdeath and have my body be fed to the dogs!" The Lovelace Group was reeling. Though Edgar had survived the attack, a cerebralhemorrhage from the shock left him paralyzed. Meanwhile, Joseph was charged with abetting murder, illegal drug storage,money laundering, bribery, and a slew of other crimes.
Conversely, the police lacked evidence to declare the Lovelace Group responsible for human drug testing. As a result, they didnot publicly announce it.
However, the public was convinced of a cover-up. Consequently, Lovelace Group's stock price plummeted for five days straight,losing over two billion dollars overnight.
Their reputation was dragged through the mud, tarnished by public scorn. Graffiti plastered the company entrance withobscenities while a swarm of reporters camped outside, capturing images for their sensationalized narratives.
