Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482

"I can't accept this! Mr.Edbert, you are advanced in years.What if they sentence you to prison?"

A few directors defended Edbert.

Edbert's words made everyone side with him again.

After all, Edbert was an old man.

If the court sentenced him to ten years of imprisonment, Edbert would be locked up for the remainder of his life.

Furthermore, his words gave the impression that Edgar wanted Edbert to take the blame and be sentenced to imprisonment.

The meeting room fell silent.

Then, Edgar chuckled and said, "Uncle Edbert, calm down.Let's all sit down and discuss a long-term plan"

Edgar pulled out a chair.He had a neutral expression which made him even more puzzling.He was so calm that Edbert could not figure out his thoughts.

"I have some news to tell you, Uncle Edgar.There are good news and bad news.Since you have a heart condition and high blood pressure, I think it is best that you sit down to hear them.Otherwise, you might find them hard to bear"

As Edgar spoke, Hiram entered the meeting room with the commissioner from Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"Mr.Zimmer? I didn't ask you to come here.Why..."

As Edbert was stunned, Hiram went to Edgar and gave him a document.

"Mr.Edgar, this is the material you requested"

Edbert widened his eyes in shock.He never expected Hiram to betray him.

After all, he had made a tremendous effort to convince Hiram to join his side.

How dare he betray me? Edbert glared at Hiram, "Mr.Zimmer, I'm the head of this company.Don't you know whom you should serve?"

After saying that, Edbert stood up furiously.

"I don't see the need to continue with this meeting.Edgar, please go to my office.We must have a good talk so that we don't make everyone worry"

Edbert spoke as if he wanted to maintain peace in the company.

In actuality, he feared Edgar would snatch his position.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him.

Edgar took the folder and tossed it onto the table.

"Uncle Edbert, there's no need for that.Rumors are spreading all around, so it's better to clarify things before everyone.Otherwise, it will affect everyone's profit"

The directors grew impatient when they heard the matter would affect their real interest.

Two of the directors even stood up from their seats.

"Mr.Edgar, you said there is good and bad news.What are they?"

Edgar glanced at Hiram.

Thus, Hiram immediately explained, "The police have already finished the investigation.Although Royden Group had violated the regulations in this regard, it did not cause severe consequences.Moreover, the debt collectors, who caused a scene at Mr.Edgar's house, confessed that someone arranged for them to do that."

"The police are now involved in this investigation and will soon issue warrants against relevant people."

After that, Hiram pulled out a handwriting analysis report.

"It seems the matter is heavily related to Edbert"

"Impossible! How dare you slander me?"

Edbert hit his walking stick against the floor and protested, "I have never seen these people do something like this.This is all fake!"

"Uncle Edbert, why are you so angry?"

Edgar stepped forward and pressed Edbert back into his seat.

Then, he leaned down and said, "You and I know that everything is fabricated"

Edgar created a fake handwriting analysis report, while Edbert fabricated Edgar's signature on documents, hoping to make him the scapegoat.

Thus, Edgar was only paying Edbert back for what he did.

Edbert clenched his fists and said fiercely, "You think you can trust Hiram? He accepted my money.Once I report him, none of you can escape"
