Jacob Yoder and his daughter were forced to kneel on the ground.
Meanwhile, the officials ordered by Jacob to give Dorothy-Alex Constructions a hard time, all seemed
bereaved as if they had lost their parents.
The incident today was a failed operation that ended up hurting themselves. In the end, not only were
their jobs at risk but they might even be punished.
âLet the trial begin! â shouted a security guard from Dorothy-Alex Constructions in joy.
While this led to a burst of laughter from the crowd, many people had also taken out their phones to
record the amazing scene.
Alex sat on a directorâs chair while he looked at Jacob. âI only have one question for you. I hope you
answer it truthfully.â
Jacob had a sullen expression on his face, and he didnât say a word.
Alex wasnât afraid that Jacob wouldnât speak. âA year ago, on the day of my wedding with Lady Dorothy
Assex, my father, William Rockefeller, got into a car accident and diedâ¦â
As soon as Alex started speaking, the scene immediately quieted down.
Quite a few people in the company had heard about what happened on Alexâs wedding day. However,
they knew only a little about it, but nothing in detail. Meanwhile, even more people had heard about
William Rockefeller betraying the country by selling its scientific research information to Japan.
Hence, in the eyes of many, William was a huge traitor. At this moment, while Alex spoke about this
incident, everyone listened carefully.
âBack then, it was John Rockefeller who had come forward to identify my father as a traitor to the
nation. Meanwhile, you cooperated with John and claimed to have detailed evidence of my fatherâs
collaboration with the enemy and how he betrayed the country. Now, in front of so many people, Iâm
asking you once more. Is the detailed evidence you mentioned true?â Alex asked.
Jacob sneered. âOf course, itâs true. Your father is a traitor to this country.â
Alexâs spiritual pressure instantly elevated. It fell upon Jacob like a mountain.
In an instant, Jacob found it hard to breathe. It was as if an object weighing tens of thousands of
pounds was pressing against his body. Meanwhile, a great sense of fear emerged from the depths of
his heart.
âThink carefully before you speak!â Alex growled coldly.
âIâ¦â
Jacob wanted to continue cursing Alexâs father for being a traitor, but the words wouldnât come out. The
sense of fear in his heart grew stronger over time, and soon, he could barely even kneel anymore.
There was a force in his body that compelled him to speak the truth.
âThe evidence⦠Isnât real. Itâs forged.â
This statement stunned Ysabel Yoder.
Craig Selbyâs eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took note of it Meanwhile, people from Dorothy-Alex
Constructions, who stood in three circles around Alex and the others, all had their eyes wide open.
They held their breaths in fear of missing out on a single word.
âWho forged the evidence?â Alex asked.
âI⦠I canât tell youâ¦â Jacob was still struggling internally.
âSpeak!â Alex roared angrily.
Alexâs mental power was like tsunami waves that crashed onto Jacobâs willpower.
In the next moment, Jacob lost control over his mind and began to spill the beans. âItâs your fatherâs
secretary, Pepper Kimmich. She forged it! Thatâs because sheâs a Japanese ninja who lurked around
William as a spy.â
âHuh..?â Lady Dorothy Assexâs secretary, Christy, gasped in surprise.
âWhat else? How did you and John band together?â Alex asked.
Jacob couldnât stop speaking. âJohn was the mastermind behind the scene. He gave me 30 million, a
villa, and two women. I happened to need money at the time. How could I resist such a huge
temptation? Besides, William was already dead, and Madame Brittany was in a coma. There was no
evidence against me. I had no reason to hesitate!â
Jacob had spoken everything on his mind.
âIn that case, did William betray the country by selling its intellectual property to the Japanese in
secret?â Alex finally asked.
âNo. The person who sold the countryâs intellectual property to Japan was John!â Jacob answered.
Alex closed his eyes. He felt a little disappointed on the inside.
At first, he thought Jacob might have told him something different. For example, Jacob mightâve
mentioned the mysterious force that conflicted against Alexâs father. Instead, he only mentioned John
Rockefeller and Pepper Kimmich. This wasnât anything new.
