Knight was taken aback by Jimmy’sments, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He quickly grasped the underlying motives at y.


    Internally, he cursed, “No wonder Jimmy was so quick to sign that ten-year agreement. He was setting a trap for me!”


    Fury surged within him as he red at Jimmy, his eyes filled with rage. Through gritted teeth, he demanded, “Jimmy, what do you stand to gain from this? If thew firm’s performance and profits take a hit, your own earnings will plummet too. Are you really willing to sacrifice one of your arms for one of my legs?”


    With a slight smile, Jimmy responded, “We have a basic sry agreement that guarantees me a fixed payment of 14 million U.S. dors each year, regardless of the firm’s ie. So no matter how well or poorly you do financially, my cut remains the same. Naturally, I won’t make it easy for you.”


    In that moment, Knight recalled that Jimmy had rejected the stock options he had offered and instead chose to discount the annual cash dividend of 10 million. <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He had foolishly assumed Jimmy was only focused on the short term, but it was clear now that Jimmy had meticulously nned his strategy!


    With a look of pure hatred, Knight warned, “Jimmy, I won’t pursue what you just said, but let me make this clear: don’t oppose me any further or spill more secrets. If you do, I will make sure you regret it!”


    Knight was painfully aware that he had fallen into Jimmy’s trap yesterday, sending him all the incriminating evidence he had on others.


    Jimmy had only mentioned one piece of information. If he chose to reveal everything, those individuals would turn against Knight and see him as their enemy.


    Thus, the immediate priority was to silence Jimmy and prevent him from amplifying the negative repercussions.


    At that moment, Steve, who had been observing the exchange, turned to Knight with a cold gaze. “Did I just hear you threatening my friend?”


    “Ah? Your friend?” Knight was momentarily taken aback, then quickly replied, “Mr. Rothschild, you don’t understand the whole story. It was he who set me up! I just signed a ten-year agreement with him!”


    “How could I not know the whole story?” Steve replied nonchntly. “Didn’t you orchestrate situations for Jimmy and the other senior partners to falter, only to use their missteps against them? Since you’ve yed dirty, you can’t be surprised when others are ruthless with you.”


    He then turned to Jimmy and dered, “Jimmy, since you are aware of many hidden truths about yourw firm and since the core members are all here, why not share what you know? Let everyone see the real nature of Ellis Law Firm.”


    “Okay!” Jimmy was eager to seize the moment. With Steve’s encouragement, he grabbed the microphone from the conference table, ready to speak.<fnc483> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n FιndNovel</fnc483>


    Knight’s heart raced with horror. He had intended to use those secrets and the ten-year contract to keep Jimmy in check, but now Jimmy was poised to expose him and deliver a crushing blow. If those secrets wereid bare, the senior partners would likely turn against himpletely.


    What would he do if they decided to leave the firm? Expose all their secrets and have them arrested? Such actions would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the entire American legal industry, causing everyone to distance themselves from him. How could thew firm possibly function under such circumstances?
