The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2364

Edmund was the one who had instructed Samson to commit an act of murder. Thus, he could be charged with voluntary manslaughter. There was no escape for him!

After all, in Oskian law, the one who instigated others t o commit a crime would be regarded as the principal offender!

Edmund had ordered his men to kill. Despite not committing the act himself, once this matter was brought to court, it would at least be life imprisonment!

If the crime of poisoning Doris’s father was added, it could lead to a stay of execution too...

Thinking of this, Edmund had an emotional breakdown for a moment. He fell to the ground and cried, "I am sorry. It was my rashness that caused all these problems. It was not on purpose... It was not on purpose...” 2

Charlie slapped him hard and confronted him, "You ordered your man to murder someone and yet you dare to say that it was not on purpose?! Are you f** king kidding me?!" 1

Covering his face, Edmund wept and replied, "I... I was

too obsessed... I wanted Doris for myself! I wanted Doris to resign from Emgrand Group to help me expand my family's business in Oskia. I wanted her to steal confidential business secrets from the Emgrand Group to help my company quickly gain a foothold in Oskia... Therefore... therefore I planned all of this to force her to comply..."

Hearing this, Doris became extremely furious!

All this while, Doris had been a very civilized person i n public. However, she could not control herself at this moment, and she angrily slapped Edmund as she rebuked him hysterically, "Why?! Why would you do that?! Is my dad's life leverage to expand your own business and fulfill your bestial desires? How could you be so evil?! Tell me, why?!”

When Doris's mom heard this, she raged till her blood pressure soared. She shivered and scolded, "You... you are an animal! Return my husband's life!"

After she spoke, she suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness. Then, she collapsed.

Doris was shocked and blurted loudly, "Mom!"

After all, Edmund was not an Oskian. He did not have many contacts in Oskia. If he were to be caught by the police and put under trial, there was a high possibility for him to be granted a reprieve.

Edmund had some knowledge of the Oskian law. Once granted reprieve, even if there was active rehabilitation, he would need to wait at least twenty years to be released from prison. 1

However, Edmund was the eldest son of a ten billion-dollar family who had the best, the most extravagant, the wildest, and the most fashionable life one could ever have. If he really were to be in prison for more than twenty years, it would be more torturous than killing him straight away!

Hearing his plea, Doris was so furious that her whole body shivered at that moment!

She stared at Edmund and yelled, "I'm telling you, Edmund! No matter what, I will not let you escape from legal sanctions! You just wait, I am calling the police to come right now!"

Edmund was so frightened that he blabbered and wailed, "No, Doris... I beg you, Doris... Don't send me to the police! Even if you don't want to forgive me, you must think of your father's life! If I was really caught, who would help you find a kidney?! Who would save your father’s life?! As a daughter, how could you let your father die like that?!" s
