As Jimmy began recounting his recent experiences in China, he was ovee with emotion and broke down in tears.
He seized the microphone and unleashed his frustration at Knight, much like a confrontation at a public denunciation. Not only did he provide a detailed ount of his ordeal, but he also pulled out his mobile phone, brandishing all the evidence he had previously requested from Knight.
This moment was akin to igniting a powder keg.
One by one, the senior partners present revealed that they held substantial evidence against Knight, with stakes amounting to hundreds of millions of dors. If the truth surfaced, many would either face imprisonment or confront substantialpensation ims.
The atmosphere turned electric with shouts directed at Knight, demanding a satisfactory exnation.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Some senior partners were so incensed that they appeared ready to confront Knight physically.
Knight, gripped by anxiety and fear, realized that his attempts to bribe Jimmy and leverage his connection with Steve had backfired spectacrly. The situation had spiraled out of control. If a confrontation urred, how could he withstand the fallout?
Even if there was no physical altercation, he would still need to face these partners demanding answers. What could he possibly say?
Noticing Knight’s distress, Jimmy felt a sense of relief, as if shedding the burden of his own past experiences in China.<fna375> Newest update provided by find(?)ovel</fna375>
As the crowd closed in on Knight, pressing for an exnation, he thrust the microphone into Knight’s hands and coldly dered, “Go ahead, Knight. Since everyone is eager to hear from you, exin yourself to us all.”
Knight wiped the sweat from his brow and stammered, “I… I want to start by apologizing to everyone… This situation is indeed my fault, but I felt I had no choice. Thepetition in our industry is incredibly fierce. You are all vital to thew firm’s sess. Even if you don’t earn the most, your contributions are invaluable. If anyone leaves or starts a new venture, it would be a significant loss for us…”
He continued, sounding somewhat pitiful, “Honestly, as long as everyone remainsmitted to the Ellis Law Firm, I would never take actions that could jeopardize your safety or career prospects…”
Eric interjected sharply, “Cut the theatrics. Isn’t Jimmy’s case a clear example? He got into trouble in China, and you sold him out!”
Knight replied, his face a mask of sorrow, “That was because he crossed Mr. Rothschild…”
Steve shot Knight a disapproving re, causing Knight to quickly fall silent, looking as forlorn as a scolded child.
Eric pressed on, “Kate, I’m not here to debate who’s right or wrong between you and Jimmy. I want to know what solution you’re proposing regarding the trap you set for us?”
Knight quickly raised his right hand and dered earnestly, “I swear to God, I can overlook these incidents and will never use this against you again.”
Jimmy scoffed, “Pretend this never happened? That’s easy for you to say, but what if one day we cross you or threaten your interests? You could easily bring out that evidence to destroy us!”
“Jimmy’s absolutely right!” someone shouted from the crowd. “I believe the best course of action now is for thew firm to issue a statement dering that all our questionable actions were sanctioned by the firm, waiving any rights to pursue legal action!”
As soon as this suggestion was made, a wave of understanding swept through the crowd, and they all began to echo in agreement: “Exactly! That’s the best solution! Have thew firm sign this statement, then submit it to the judicial department for notarization! Once it’s legally binding, we can sever ties with Ellis! We’ll all be free from each other, ensuring no one causes trouble for anyone else!”
