After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Turning Point (4)

Half an hour later, the session restarted.

Maxwell was taken to the court.

Never did he expect that his doomsday still came to him after he left Cooper Group.

After the prosecution party restated the fact, Jesse said to Maxwell, “Now you are accused of conspiring with Dore to illegally extract private interest. Is it true about the accusation?” Hearing that, Maxwell fell into panic.

It had been a year. How did they notice that?

He considered it a flawless plan at that time.

After he managed to help Dore run away with the money, he believed no one else could ever notice that, for which he thought there was nothing to worry about.

Was Dore out of his mind? Why did he turn himself in?

Why did he even try to frame up Miguel?

What an idiot!

“Maxwell, please answer the question.” Jesse continued seriously.

Nervous, Maxwell still managed to collect himself.

He couldn’t help taking a few glances at Roger, who was sitting in the public gallery.

Both of them had been conspiring all these. Now he was taken to the court, but what about Roger?

Roger tried to avoid any eye contact with him.

But still, he shook his head while facing Maxwell.

Obviously, he wanted him to deny.

Maxwell struggled to calm himself down again.

Before he was about to utter, Oscar suddenly stood up, “Mr Watson, before you defend yourself, there is something you need to be aware of. First, you have illegally signed three private contracts aiming at bank transfers, which is clearly proven. The bank accounts. involved in those contracts were exactly the same as those making payment for Zhang. Second, the total of bank transfers between your account and Dore’s has been proven to be 600,000,000, which had been clearly recorded. Of course, I don’t mean to frighten you. I am just stating the evidence against you we found. Here is my kind reminder. Lying in the court. will only bring yourself a heavier penalty.”

Hearing that, Maxwell was obviously frightened.

He didn’t expect that they had got such crucial proof.

Of course, he knew he couldn’t simply deny that, nor could he figure out any evidence to

prove himself innocent.

Silent, he dared not make any remark.

Oscar said to the judge, “Your Honor, if the suspect refuses to talk, shall we confirm the crime he committed?”

“If the suspect refuses to talk, his silence shall be deemed as a kind of acquiescence of his crime.” The judge confirmed.

Oscar said to Maxwell once again, “Mr Watson, were you conspiring this commercial fraud with Dore together?”

Gritting his own teeth, Maxwell still refused to talk.

“Mr Watson, your confession may commute your penalty. Are you sure you are gonna keep silent?” Oscar asked again.

Maxwell suddenly nodded, “Yes, I did conspire with Dore to extract a sum of money from the Group.”

His confession jarred the public.

So it turned out that Miguel was framed up.

“Silent!” the judge hammered his gavel.

Then the air finally stayed quiet again.

“Did you embezzle all the construction fee of 600,000,000?” Oscar questioned.

“Yes, but I only took part of it. While Roger took the rest.” Maxwell didn’t hesitate to turn Roger in.
