Bill smiled, pretending to be kind.
Timothy shook his head and had no guts to bargain, "No, sir."
"Well, you are not that greedy, are you?" Bill sneered.
Timothy had no choice but to bear the humiliation. Now his top priority was to keep himself safe, "Mr. Bright, so…what do you think?"
If it weren't for the fact that he had told Bright that Sophie was the one behind all these, he would be doomed.
After all, Sophie was a member of the Linder family, also the sister of Rose, the wife of Bright. In other words, Sophie was the sister-in-law of Bright. For that reason, perhaps Bright wouldn't do anything serious to punish her but just berated her.
However, Timothy himself was just a stranger to him. He couldn't afford to offend Bright. So he had no choice but to confess the truth.
He kept repeating himself that he was left no choice but to turn Sophie in.
"Well…" Bright picked up the red rose in the vase and smoothed the petal, "That one must be Sophie Linder!"
Timothy was stunned with his eyes wide open. It seemed that he had never expected Bright to know the truth in advance.
"Actually, Rose has been my legitimate wife instead of a mistress. I have taken her back to my family to meet my parents. Even if you made Cruz Gardner go to my family, it would never work. And that's not why my father got mad." Bright opened his thin lips and said in a cold voice casually.
"I faked a break with Rose just because only when she is on the weak side will those culprits appear. That was why you and Sophie exposed yourselves during the party."
Bright ripped the pedals off one by one and dropped them on the ground, "So I don't need you to confess because I have been aware of the truth."
"Actually, you two should be the ones to be blamed. You are so eager to take revenge on Rose and that's why you turn yourselves in."
Upon hearing that, Timothy swallowed nervously and said, "Mr. Bright, that's not the truth. Please listen to me!"
"Mr. Bright has no time to waste on your words!" Bill interrupted.
Since everything was clear, Bright didn't want to hear any single word from him.
What was more, Bright valued his time and he had to make it quick.
He dropped the bald stem of rose on the table and stood up like a gentleman.
He buttoned up his suit and said elegantly, "Bill, it's on you now."
"Don't worry, Mr. Bright. I will have it done perfectly." Bill bowed to him with great respect.
Commonly speaking, Bright didn't have to present here in person for such a trifle. It was Bill's honor to have his arrival today.
When Bright was about to step forward, Timothy hurried to kneel in front of him and was about to grab Bright's leg to beg for mercy. But Bill stopped him in advance by kicking him off.
"Don't stain Mr. Bright's pants! Mr. Fan, I am afraid that you will have no arms to hug any pretty girls." Bill said mercilessly.
"Mr. Bright, please forgive me! I can do anything for you as long as you show me mercy!" Timothy was totally overwhelmed with horror.
"What I need you to do is quite simple. But you have done everything overnight! That's what you deserve." Bright stared at the love bite on Timothy's neck. He seemed to remind Timothy of his orgy last night.
"Mr. Bright, I beg your pardon? I am not that clever to understand what you meant?" Timothy was confused.
Bright had no mood to stay. He strode forward to leave.
Bill stopped Timothy, "Mr. Bright will never take back his words! Don't waste your time! You deserve it! No one can save you! Even your family has to be doomed because of you!"
Bill turned around and left. Only Timothy was left behind, and slumped onto the ground with a bitter smile. Tears streamed down his face.
He could tell how miserable his life would be without the backup of his family. Undoubtedly, no one could afford to offend Bright.
Timothy looked at Cruz, who froze on spot as he was totally horrified.
Timothy dragged him forward and punched him on his jaw, "Cruz Gardner! Let me warn you! Don't try to run away even if my family has gone!"
Cruz also fought back as he had no way back, "Timothy! You deserve it! It has nothing to do with me!"
"If it weren't for your betrayal, I would not end up like that! I gotta kill you! I have nothing left now!" Timothy went crazy.
He strangled Cruz hard with both hands with his blood-shot eyes.
Cruz was older and thinner than him. He couldn't resist Timothy, who was taller and stronger. His face was burning red and he was suffocated. His face turned pale as he was about to faint.
He tried to grab Timothy's hands to get rid of him, but he failed, "Just…let go…let me go…I have an idea to bail you out…"
Upon hearing that, Timothy soon softened his grip, "Don't lie to me! Or I will kill you!"
Cruz struggled to nod. And then Timothy let go of him, "Just say it!"
