As the repercussions of the case were considerable and the criminal's testimonies were inconsistent, not to mention the issue was related to Ackleton's business tycoon, Cayden Moore, the higher-ups began investigating that matter thoroughly.
Despite their efforts, they failed to discover any new information.
The appearance of the person committing bribery in the video matched Kayden's current looks, and Marvin also repeatedly confirmed on-site that the signature affixed on the agreement was “Kayden” instead of “Cayden.”
Of course, Kayden's identity was also confirmed. His background was simple. He was an orphan and had no other relatives. All the information about his life since his youth was unambiguous. That was a man who genuinely existed in reality.
GC Group was also an authentic corporation. The company had been established for ten years, with a moderate business scale, and the name of the legal representative of the group was Kayden.
Furthermore, Sid presented a land transfer contract, signed by Kayden Moore with the current CEO of Trident Group, Cayden Moore, from ten years ago, proving that he had obtained the land from Marvin and transferred it to Cayden.
Sid eloquently explained insider details of the transaction at that time to the judges. He had a silver tongue and could keep his composure when facing the volleys of questions.
As an internationally renowned swindler, his lies were so convincing that even the FBI couldn't tell if he was lying, let alone the public prosecutors.
The prosecutors were unwilling to give up and persisted in their investigation for a long time.
In the end, they found that all the land transfer contracts were genuine. They couldn't even discover any loopholes.
Ultimately, due to sufficient evidence from all aspects, the bribery case was settled.
The media announced the case's final verdict to the public. Marvin Sheen's bribery case was unrelated to Trident Group's CEO, Cayden Moore. The real culprit was the director of GC Group, Kayden Moore. Considering Kayden had turned himself in and demonstrated a good attitude for admitting his offenses, the court sentenced him to fifteen years imprisonment and confiscated his property.
The news instantly caused an uproar in Ackleton.
The media reported that the director of the local GC Group was involved in a major bribery case and was arrested with court approval.
Bribery cases were not unusual, as such dishonest incidents would happen in every city. What shocked the public the most was that the handsome criminal, Kayden, looked exactly like Trident Group's CEO, Cayden. Even their names were almost identical. The uncanny resemblances sparked much speculation and heated discussion.
As Cayden was a prominent figure in Ackleton, that news circulated in the headlines of all major media outlets for a long time and prompted members of the media to request interview sessions with Cayden. However, they were all turned down by Trident Group's secretaries with the excuse that Cayden was swamped with work.
Only after a prolonged period did that sensation finally gradually subside.
Avery sat quietly before the floor-to-ceiling window inside the mansion, leisurely enjoying the night breeze.
It was a particularly charming night. A crescent moon hung in the sky, and countless sparkling stars adorned the vast sky.
She wore a faint smile, and her delicate facial features appeared extraordinarily gentle in the soft light.
Cayden's and the children's laughter reverberated in the air as they washed the dishes inside the kitchen.
Occasionally, she could also hear Rory's cooing and Zachary's disdainful voice. “Daddy, that's not how you wash the dishes. You're using too much detergent. It's wasteful. Even Rory is doing a better job than you.”
Zachary spoke with the bearing of an adult, insisting that men should learn to do housework instead of relying on the housekeeper. Since their father didn't know how to cook, he should at least wash the dishes to help their mother with the household chores and prevent her from getting overworked.
