Chapter 995

“Mr. Howard, you came over just to clarify the truth for River City’s peace. You’re an extremely righteous person!”

“I truly admire you!”

James put on a show before handing the microphone over to Flint.

Flint glanced at James and asked, “Mr. Thomson, what do you want me to talk about?”

James immediately replied, “Of course, you should tell us about how Sean Lennon got his hands on the development approval of the central business district through shady means.”

Everyone in the audience nodded at once.

“Shady means?

“I don’t agree with this.

“I’m a businessman. I only care about profits.

“Mr. Lennon offered me a suitable price. Of course, I chose to sell the approval to him.

“It was a voluntary decision on both ends. How is that shady?”

Flint’s voice rang out in the hall through the speakers.

James was stunned. Jon was confused as well. Meanwhile, everyone else had stupefied expressions on their faces.

Was he not the witness?

Was Flint not going to expose Sean’s schemes as agreed?

Why did it seem like Flint was supporting Sean right now?

“Flint Howard, how dare you deny it?

“You’re close to Sean. Both of you must’ve planned out everything since the very start!”

Jon was infuriated. He suddenly pointed at Flint.

“You knew that I’m close to Mr. Lennon, yet you still intentionally loaned out the development approval to me. Weren’t you trying to hand it over to us on purpose?”

Flint questioned Jon in return. Jon was rendered speechless.

“You! You!”

Jon was so infuriated that he trembled all over.

Meanwhile, everyone in the audience had odd expressions on their faces.

James was the one who called him over to give his account of the incident as a witness.

Should they believe in Flint’s words or not?

“Mr. Howard, what do you mean by that?

“Haven’t we reached an agreement previously?”

James took a step forward and lowered his voice as he whispered to Flint.

Meanwhile, Flint sneered. He had known Sean for some time now.

He had made a mistake once. He would not dare to make the same mistake twice.

“You don’t understand.

“Do you think that money is the only thing that people in this industry care about?”

After Flint spoke up, he took two steps to the side to put some distance between him and James.

He understood that he only had everything that he had today because of Sean.

If it were not for Sean, he might have been utterly defeated by Charles Christian right now.

Sean had single-handedly brought him to his current position.

How could he push Sean down an abyss right now?

If he set such an example in front of his subordinates, he might not be able to stay in his position for long!

Of course, Flint had never forgotten the words that Sean had told him previously.

If Sean could kill Charles, he could kill Flint as well.

Flint had to consider all of these factors.

“Mr. Thomson, I’ll tell everyone about the development approval since you want me to do “Back then, Mr. Zimmer looked for me and loaned the development approval to me in exchange for 150 million dollars.

“However, Mr. Zimmer did not return the money to me within the agreed deadline. Of course, I had the right to sell off this development approval.

“After all, I can’t develop such a large piece of land. It’s useless for me to keep it either.

“Therefore, I sold the development approval to Mr. Lennon.

“This is the truth behind everything.”

As soon as Flint spoke up, the expressions on the faces of James and the others darkened.

Meanwhile, triumph appeared in Sean’s gaze.

He smiled like he was in total control of the entire situation.

He had watched James put on a show for such a long time. It was about time for him to make a counterattack now, right?

Everyone within the upper social circle of River City was here today. It was the perfect timing for him to overthrow James.

“Thank you, Mr. Howard. I’ll definitely visit you to express my gratitude one day!”

James gritted his teeth slightly. His voice had a threatening tone in it.

“My six hundred men and I will welcome you any time, Mr. Thomson.”

After speaking, Flint dropped the microphone, turned around, and left the gala venue.

Two minutes after Flint left, the atmosphere in the hall was still rather awkward.

“Did you invite us here just to watch you put on a show for us?”

Sean asked James in a sarcastic tone as he remained seated in his seat.

“Sean Lennon, you’re pretty capable!

“However, it’s alright. Everyone in the audience won’t be fooled.

“You know exactly what you’ve done!”

“Mr. Zigger, tell everyone what he has done.”

James slowly turned around to look at Gordon, who was seated within the audience.

Gordon used to be pretty close with Sean as well. However, he was now on James’ side.

“Alright.”

Gordon nodded lightly before walking up the stage.

“I don’t know much about the development approval.

“I’ll just let everyone know where Zimmer Corporation’s 450-million-dollar fund went to.”

As soon as Gordon spoke up, Zander and Harry furrowed their brows.

Gordon had truly been involved in this incident.

After all, it involved the transfer of such a large amount of funds. It would be hard for them. to make a transfer quickly without the help of someone from the government office.

Was Gordon going to tell everyone everything right now?

“Sean Lennon has transferred 450 million dollars to an offshore account.”

Gordon slowly turned his head and met Sean’s gaze.

It was as if he had pushed Sean, who was at the edge of a cliff, down a bottomless abyss with his words alone.
