Yeates and Saxton were truly two extremes, but they both perfectly confirmed the saying, "You reap what you sow."
After a few days, Charlotte and Joe arrived at the police station together.
According to Yeates's statement, the man who had come to bribe her was an average-looking guy. He seemed to be taking orders from someone else, frequently exchanging messages with others as if seeking someone's opinion.
The police decided to have Yeates attempt to contact that man, so they informed Charlotte and Joe to come along. If they could apprehend that man, they could also determine whether he had any conflicts with them.
Charlotte and Joe went willingly.
In just a few days, Yeates had become noticeably worn out.
Upon seeing Charlotte, she immediately grew excited. "Charlotte! Please save me! I'm willing to become a key witness to help you find the real mastermind behind this! I beg you, I can't afford to have a criminal record!"
Charlotte looked at her expressionlessly. "If that's the case, why did you still let yourself be bribed?"
Yeates was momentarily speechless. Suddenly, she glared at Charlotte with a fierce intensity. "People like you, born with everything handed to you, what do you understand? You didn't even have to do anything, yet you gained the favor of Gideon. And me? I've been pursuing him for three years, but he wouldn't even give me a proper glance!"
"If it weren't for being pushed to a corner, why would I sell your design plan..."
Joe took a step forward, blocking Yeates's gaze.
He lowered his gaze, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "Starting from when you devised the plan to distance her from Gideon to later stealing the design plan, who forced you into this? Does this even qualify as being compelled?"
Yeates was about to say more, but even the police officer beside them couldn't bear it any longer. He knocked on the table. "Do you not know why you're here? Quickly make the call!"
