At the present scene, only Lady Dorothy Assexâs eyes were calm and unruffled. It was as if she had
expected this ending long ago.
Alex Rockefeller took two steps forward. âJacob, do you still recognize me? A year ago, you came to
my wedding. You made a lasting impression on me,â Alex said.
Jacob Yoder bent his body, and he had a convoluted expression on his face.
He didnât answer Alexâs question. Instead, he turned to Craig Selby. âWho exactly is he? Why would
you help him despite the huge risk to your job? You ought to think carefully about your future,â Jacob
said.
Craig shook his head. âMr. Rockefellerâs identity is top secret,â he said.
Alex chuckled. âJacob, 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 her such powers?â Alex asked.
Jacob was astonished.
Of course he was the one who instructed the five departments to seize Dorothy-Alex Constructions, but
he didnât 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.
âThis dumb woman,â Jacob thought.
Howeverâ¦
âI donât 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!â Jacob
yelled.
âNever mind hanging her up there. Even if I kill her right there and then, I wouldnât have to be
responsible for it. Would you believe that?â Alex replied nonchalantly.
âYouâ¦â For his daughterâs safety, Jacob had no choice but to give in.
Alex glanced at Jacob before turning to Craig. âGo and release that woman!â
As soon as Alex said this, someone from the brigade ran upstairs.
âMr. Rockefeller, Iâll arrest all these people and have a strict interrogation with them. Iâll 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,â Craig said.
Alex waved his hand. âI want to hold a joint trial here!â he exclaimed.
âHuh..?â 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 fatherâs 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 him as âbrother
Rockefellerâ 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 her current situation. She thought sheâd have nothing to worry about with the brigade members
around. Hence, she rushed over and reached out to slap Alex.
In the endâ¦
Wham!
When Craig saw what she wanted to do, he landed a forceful slap on her face.
Ysabel was shocked. âYou⦠Why did you hit me? Donât you know who I am?â
Everyone was speechless.
This woman really didnât know what was going on.
â
Are you trying to assassinate Mr. Rockefeller? Kneel!â Craig yelled coldly.
Two team members immediately came over to force Ysabel down on her knees. Ysabel struggled as
best she could while cursing loudly. After that, she saw that her father had also been forced to kneel
next to her. In that instant, she couldnât find it in herself to speak She was completely dumbfounded!
