Chapter 581
Tim Goldman shrugged innocently. I wasn't even investigating you. Someone sent this to me."
His expression looked so genuine anyone would fall for his ploy, but Peter was not stupid enough to believe him so easily.
However, he had no idea how something he kept hidden so well in the distant past could be exposed.
It was literally buried six feet under-everyone who knew about it was dead!
"H-How did you get this?!’ Peter growled, finally understanding that Tim was not stopping at simple blackmailing.
However, Tim kept feigning innocence. "I honestly don't know who sent this."
Peter slammed a hand on this desk furiously. ’What do you want?! Just tell me already! I've already given you the project
we competed for while you were busy sorting out your messy divorce, and paid 150 million dollars for your silence! Why
do you keep doing this to me?!"
"Doing this to you? Me?" Tim blinked, and quickly waved him off. "I'm not, and don't blame me when you have no proof,
or I would have to call the po- po to adjudicate this issue."
His words were a naked threat-po-po certainly gnawed at Peter's nerves.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs tension piled in his body, he clutched his chest, which was flaring in agony!
Tim was actually left wondering how fragile the man was-he was not dying right here, was he?
’Hey, die somewhere else, or you'd jinx my office," Tim said, and called for his secretary before turning back to
Peter. "Should I call an ambulance for you?”
However, Peter's chest seemed to have stiffened into a block and he could not even speak!
As his face turned pale and he looked like he would soon pass out, Tim gestured for his secretary to call an
ambulance, and Peter passed out right then from hypertension!
Tim pursed his lips. "Tut, tut. That's all it takes?"
He certainly held contempt for the man, but was not really apathetic either since he would have trouble explaining
himself if Peter died here.
"Still not coming out? Your father-in-law passed out here."
Tim walked over to sit on the couch, while a door opened, and Zachary stepped out.
He cast a cool look at Peter, but joined Tim at the couch.
Tim's interest was actually piqued. "He's your father-in-law even after all that mess, right? And they say that you're
a former doctor with an angelic soul, too... What made you this cold?"
Zachary leaned back on the couch nonchalantly. "It's simple, Mr. Goldman- I want Centric United."
Tim, however, knew better.
The woman called Lulu Adams, who was mentioned in the recording of Peter's drunken ramble, was the key.
He did not expose Zachary, however, since he was making a fortune by working with Zachary!
Why in the hell would he not do it?
Pouring Zachary a cup of coffee, Tim asked, "I'm curious. How did you find out about something he kept so well
hidden?’
"Did you forget? His daughter stays in my house," Zachary said flatly.
He did not call Ember his wife, but merely referred to her as someone who stayed in his house.
Over the last few days, he had been feeding Ember certain prohibited drugs that cause hallucinations.
As a former doctor, it was all too easy to get his hands on such substances, and that in turn allowed him to find out
about secrets no one else was privy to.
’Tut, tut... Honestly, I never knew that he would do anything just to succeed. ' Tim shook his head in disbelief as he

’It's almost inevitable for a fire to break out in that factory since he was using equipment that did not adhere to safety
regulations. Even then, he could have just bought safety equipment which could reduce risk, but he didn't do it just to
save money, and thanks to that, there were seven workers dead and over twenty injured... but somehow the officials
decided that it was an 'accident'. It's a conspiracy, and once the truth is out, it won't just be him who's getting
implicated."
"There's no doubt that he bribed people," Zachary replied. "Him passing out also goes to show how worried that it would
be exposed.’
Tim nodded, held his gaze for a moment and asked, "What if he keeps paying US off?"
"Does he still have any money left?" Zachary asked in return.
Tim chuckled. "Oh, right-we did squeeze him dry."
"But we're going to expose him either way."
Zachary's words made his position very clear.
He was not just doing it for the perished as well, but also for Lulu.
It did not matter what Peter did in compromise-he would reveal Peter's criminal gross negligence to the world!
