“Yes.” Martha nodded his head instantly.

Honestly, he did admire Harrison for being so observant.

“So, tax evasion is the hard nut to crack! We bought the land at the price of two hundred million back then, but it was also true that one hundred million has been secretly and successively transferred to the private account of Zhang, who’s sold the land. What’s more, the money was transferred to him through the accounts which were opened in the name of some employees from Cooper Group. There was also a private contract here, and you’ve signed on it. There wasn’t thumbprint on it, but there were transfer records. So, the evidence is solid.”

“Any evidence that can directly prove I’ve put them up to it?” Martha asked back, and couldn’t help to say, “Actually, I was also curious why they could have suddenly beat down the price and closed the deal at the price of two hundred million since the opposite party quoted for three hundred million. Well, I should have been more carefull”

“What’s gone is gone. Drop it and face the music. The point of the matter now is that, according to the law of Northfield, and with the witnesses. and evidences against you, you’ll be found guilty if you can’t find the evidence to prove you’re innocent.”

Martha was silent.

“I’ve checked the witnesses and evidences, and found the defect that you didn’t stamp with your thumbprint. But I don’t think the judge will change his mind for it. After all, all the witnesses and evidences are pointing to you. If we don’t have solid evidences, we can’t clear your name then.” Harrison said straightforwardly.

Indeed!” Martha agreed with her.

1 think we need some time to find out the truth.” Harrison said, “Did the courthouse tell you how soon you would be in court?”

“When I left just now, they said they would report to the higher court first and inform me the time in court later.”

“According to the law, a case with witnesses and evidences will be in count very soon. If nothing else, you might be in court within a week.”

“That’s too soon!”

“Because someone will defraud in it.” Harrison said bluntly.

Martha looked at Harrison and said, “You mean, you know who’s set me up in the case?”

“On the whole, yes.”

“Your Uncle Roger?” Martha guessed.

“It’s out of his ability. But I’m sure he is part of it.”

“So…”

“The Sawyer family.” Harrison said straightforwardly.

“But they don’t have so much power, either.”

“Dad, the Sawyer family is always a real piece of work. They’ve been colluding with the City Hall.” Harrison told him the truth, “So, the City Hall is backing them up under the table.”

Martha looked really bad and said furiously, “Surprisingly, the Sawyers are so vindictive. They set me up and seek revenge for themselves!”

“It wasn’t a revenge. In fact, they wanted to lay their hands on the Cooper family long ago. They arranged the marriage between me and Charles only to take our family properties. Now that they can’t work that way, of course they’ll try some crooked ways.”

“Damn the Sawyer family! Your grandpa must be blind back then. Otherwise, how could he want to be in alliance with them!”

“Or, maybe there’s nothing to do with the old Mr. Sawyer. Only the younger generations of the the Sawyer family have changed.”

“All in all, on no account can we let the Sawyer family get their way!” Martha said ferociously.

“Right.” Harrison nodded.

“But, now I don’t know where to start…” Martha said with anxiety.

“Let me handle it, dad. I don’t believe they’ve done it so perfectly without a flaw.”

“OK.” Martha agreed without hesitation, “Do tell me if you’re in trouble.”
