Chapter 289 We Can’t Just Sit and Wait

Edgar paused briefly before continuing, his voice low and steady. “That’s because not long after the incident… Thomas came to see me.”

“What?!” A ripple of shock spread across the courtroom. Gasps and mururs burst out like wildfire.

“There’s more to the story?!”

“Thomas tried to silence him, didn’t he?”

“Damn… I think the truth’s finally coming out.”

“This is really turning upside down–holy hell!”

In front of the screen-

Clatter!

Thomas swept everything off his desk in a sudden burst of rage. Papers flew and scattered across the floor.

He clenched his fists, grinding his teeth, the whites of his knuckles stark against his flushed skin.

Edgar. That little bastard. He’d completely underestimated him.

Back when they’d talked, Edgar had never mentioned any photos. He’d just claimed—

That he hadn’t seen much. That he’d only heard some muffled noises.

Thomas had believed him. He hadn’t thought twice.

He told Edgar that if he hadn’t seen anything, all the better. Just keep quiet and don’t tell anyone.

The kid had seemed young, naive, harmless. That had made him lower his guard–made him believe Edgar didn’t have the cunning to pull anything like this…

But now?

He’d walked right into a trap.

“Thomas?” Selena had appeared at his side at some point, cautiously watching his face. His sudden outburst had clearly rattled her. “Are… are you okay?”

Thomas said nothing. His lips were pressed into a tight line. He shook his head slightly.

Selena knew full well how dire things had become.
