NovelEnglishJasper and Alyssa were utterly shocked. They helped Clarissa up from the ground immediately. "Please get up, Ms. Sparks! Don't do this!" As Clarissa's older brother, Hendrix's heart ached for her. He, too, tried to help her up.
"Ms. Alyssa... Thank you... Thank you very much..." Clarissa's voice was breaking from all that crying. She spoke incoherently. "The favor that you've done for my father. | will pay you back with my life." Alyssa shook her head gently. "You don't have to pay anything back to me. I just hope that you can free yourself from Josh and the Schmidts. That is the outcome that | wish for the most." Oscar was transferred to the VIP ward for observation.
In the lounge next door, the Sparks siblings sat across from Jasper and Alyssa.
Clarissa had her eyes lowered as she rolled up her sleeve with her shaking hands.
When Hendrix saw the scars that covered her arms, he lost it. He enveloped Clarissa in his arms and started crying his eyes out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's alright, Hendrix. It's all over," Clarissa consoled him with a relaxed smile on her face.
Now that Oscar's surgery was successful, she had nothing else to worry about. She had decided to give her all.
She was choosing to walk out of darkness and into the light.
Clarissa took out a brown envelope and put it on the table. "This envelope contains some evidence that | have gathered. It includes evidence of Josh embezzling the corporation's funds, giving and receiving bribes, and him using the Bright Scholarship Foundation under the Schmidt Group to launder money." Hendrix looked serious and furious at the same time. "I can testify that during my time working at Schmidt Group's legal department, Josh asked me to go through Boles in the law to embezzle funds for his own profit.
This happened more than once.
"I can't believe that he even abused Clarissa. | don't care if | end up being imprisoned or losing my reputation. | will stand up and testify against him! | have to avenge Clarissa!" "Hendrix." Clarissa choked on her tears. She felt terrible.
Nonetheless, she was well aware that the Sparks and the Schmidts were in-laws. It was inevitable that both parties would end up hurt through this dreadful fight.
Jasper and Alyssa focused their attention on going through all the evidence. With serious looks on their faces, they looked very much like one another. They were even in sync when it came to turning pages.
"Actually, Josh even has attempted murder." Jasper and Alyssa asked in surprise, "Who did he try to murder? "Previously, David was suspected of sexually assaulting minors. One of the victims, Maggie Madison, intended to step forward to testify against David.
"At the time, Josh had a motive to protect David. So, he seized the opportunity to bribe one of David's subordinates when he was being detained and tried to get rid of Maggie.
"At that time, he wasn't doing so to help his brother. Instead, he was just trying to win brownie points with Victor.
He chose to use David's subordinate because if this was revealed, he could then push the blame to David while he leaves unscathed." When the incident happened, Alyssa and Jasper had considered this possibility. Yet, when they heard Clarissa's explanation in person, they still reacted with staggered expressions. They felt perturbed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClarissa shook her head regretfully and helplessly. She sobbed, "During that time, | was right by Josh's side. | listened to him as he blatantly came up with a plan to murder that innocent woman. But | was completely incapable of stopping him.
"Even when | asked him more about it, he would beat me up..." "Don't blame yourself, Ms. Sparks."
Alyssa held her hand tightly. She didn't blame her at all. "Maggie was a victim, and so were you.You were living in darkness.You have given your all to protect yourself and your f | family. You've really done your best.
f If | were you, | would've probably n : crumbled long ago." "It was a pity that | didn't record what he said at the time." Clarissa was filled with regret.
"Even if you had recorded it, it wouldn't be of much use." Jasper put down the documents in his hand. His eyes were glum as he shared his analysis calmly. "Firstly, a recording taken without consent cannot be presented as evidence in court.
"Secondly, Maggie didn't die, and she is now safe and sound. That means that Josh could even strike back by suing you for false accusations and defamation.
There's another problem, which is the evidence of his crimes. To the, scion of the four wealthiest corporations, these are not impactful enough to go against him. "Josh is Victor's eldest son. Although Victor's eyes are on Jameson now, he will not give up on him that easily. No matter what happens, he will do all he can to cover for him.
