Upon hearing Charlie’s words, James’s hefty frame trembled, and he eximed, “I don’t know anything! What do you want from me?”


    Charlie extracted his mobile phone from his pocket, aimed the camera at James, and smirked, “You have one chance. Tell me the truth – how did the Banks Family murder Deana and Zara? If you cooperate and I’m satisfied, I might just keep you as a pet in my kennel for now. But if you don’t perform to my liking, you’ll be reported as a missing person permanently!”


    James was taken aback. He wasn’t naive; Charlie’s effortless kidnapping showed his immense strength. He thought to himself, “This time, I’ve vanished without a trace. The outside world will struggle to find me. Even if Charlie were to kill me, it would be hard for anyone to discover what happened. Everyone knows the Banks Family is untouchable, yet Charlie dared to challenge that. He clearly doesn’t fear the Banks Family. That’s what frightens me the most. It seems he’s not after money or concerned about family reputation. If he wanted me dead, he could easily do it with a simplemand. If I don’t perform well, I might genuinely be at his mercy.”


    He sighed internally, realizing, “If I betray my father today and survive, he will not forgive meter. But ultimately, the priority is to save my own life. What good is it for my father’s reputation if I lose my head?”


    With these thoughts racing through his mind, he quickly dered, “I-I’ll tell you everything!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie pointed the camera and said coldly, “Face the camera and exin everything word for word!”


    James stammered, “Yes, the Banks Family indeed killed Deana and Zara. However, this was solely my father Lord Banks’s n; I had no part in it!”


    He then recounted the entire scheme orchestrated by his father to eliminate Deana.


    Charlie pondered for a moment and then asked, “Alright, but why did Lord Banks murder Zara? She is his granddaughter; that seems illogical. Was her death ordered by someone else?”<fn97f3> This update is avable on find?novel</fn97f3>


    James felt a surge of anxiety; his breathing quickened as his mind raced. He knew that it was not Lord Banks who wanted Zara dead, but under the current circumstances, he couldn’t admit that.


    “I can’t grasp why Charlie has any interest in Zara,” he thought. “He saved her twice – once in Japan and again in Aurous Hill! If I admit that I wanted her dead, Charlie might turn against me even more.”


    With that in mind, James quickly fabricated a response: “Actually, my father has been very displeased with Zara. He believed she was always defending her mother, Deana, and turning against the family. My father even suspected that Zara wasn’t loyal to the Banks Family, which led him to n the deaths of both her and Deana to eliminate any threats.”


    As he recorded, Charlie asked, “Is that really the case?”


    James nodded vigorously, insisting, “Yes, yes! Everything I’m saying is true!”


    Charlie chuckled, “That’s rather interesting!”


    James looked at Charlie, feeling a knot of anxiety in his stomach. He couldn’t decipher what Charlie meant by that.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
