In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Chapter 260

“Or was this a trap you devised? What's your goal? To get me kicked out of Amirate?”

There was silence.

Timothy's words were deliberate and left Samuel unable to retort. Samuel stammered, unable to say anything coherent. Timothy ignored him and looked at Grace. He asked, “What do you think, Ms. Lewis?”

Grace looked coldly at Samuel and said calmly, “Mr. Donegan is the heir of the Donegan Enterprises in Frenda. Our families had once arranged a marriage between us as well. He had only joined Amirate out of passion.

“Now we’ve all seen what Mr. Donegan is capable of and how he single-handedly obtained the Dunhill project. | believe that Mr. Donegan is owed an explanation for today’s events.”

Grace swept a glance across the room and finally looked at Mr. Turner. The contempt in her eyes was evident. “Since you reported him, that means you have evidence, right?

“Show us the evidence. If you can’t, then you can be charged for falsely accusing someone. You can be jailed for that.”

Mr. Turner had just been acting according to Samuel's orders. How had things become like this? Hadn't they said that they had already prepared all the evidence and that all he had to do was report?

What was happening now?

Mr. Turner fell to his knees and said to Samuel, “Director Walker, save me! | don’t want to go

to jail!”

Samuel's expression was dark as he hurriedly distanced himself. “What do your actions have to do with me?” “Director Walker, we're relatives! You can’t just stand by and watch me die!”

Samuel panicked. “Ms. Lewis, don’t listen to him. Even though we're distantly related, we’re not very close. We don’t usually interact either. He’s obviously framing me by saying that.”

“Director Walker, weren't you the one who gave me the orders? You said that | just had to report Mr. Donegan and that you would take care of the rest.

“What's going on now? Are you making me the scapegoat?”

Samuel was furious. “Shut up!”

He pointed at Mr. Turner and said, “He’s talking nonsense! I’ve never instructed him to do +15 BONUS

Grace didn’t listen to Samuel’s assertions. She squatted down to look at Mr. Turner and said,.” Mr. Turner, you've been in this company for a while. You know how | work.

“| can give you a chance today, but everything you say from now on must be the truth. Otherwise, no one can help you.”

Mr. Turner nodded emphatically. “Don’t worry, Ms. Lewis, I'll only speak the truth! Only the truth!”

Grace coldly asked, “Who ordered you to do this? What benefits did they promise you?”

Mr. Turner hurriedly answered, “It was Director Walker! No, it was his assistant, Mr. Brown, who found me. They said that Mr. Donegan was blocking their path and needed to be removed.

“He also said that once it was done, he would give me a million dollars so that | could leave. Mr. Brown was the one who gave me all the instructions.”

When Samuel heard that, he quickly tried to assert his innocence. “It was Zane! That traitor! | can’t believe he did something like this in my name. | won't let him get away with it!”
