Athena looked at Byron, then at the file bag. "You don't mean to give me a sum of money or something else to buy my children, do you?"
Byron withdrew his gaze, not bothering to answer that question.
Athena sat back, reached for the file bag, opened it, and took out the contents.
When she saw the file on top, her face darkened immediately.
"Byron, I thought too highly of you." Athena sneered and looked at Byron. "You haven't changed all these years. Apart from threats and intimidation, can't you come up with something new?"
The document she saw was a data certificate about the annual report cost of a listed company under the Stella Group and its listing irregularities.
"Keep reading." Byron lowered his head, unfazed by her scolding.
Athena rolled her eyes and read on.
The rest were similar to the first one, either about companies under the Stella Group or about Rose.
Athena never thought that someone like Rose, who had climbed all the way to the top, would have such clean hands.
She hastily read on.
Her expression hadn't changed until she saw George's name.
until...
Wen Chi's name appeared.
She looked at him. "Byron! If you had a conscience, you wouldn't involve George."
Byron looked at her, thinking of the relaxed atmosphere when she and George ate cakes together that day.
It turned out that these difficult problems were solved by George through illegal means.
"Stella Group tree is deeply rooted," Byron said as he poured himself a glass of lemonade. "The problems in one or two listed companies won't bring Rose much trouble. As for the things she did, it's too long ago, and some sufferers can't be found. At most, she'll be brought down and scolded by netizens. George is different. He is just a nobody, and these things are enough for death sentences for him."
next second.
The next second, Athena picked up her glass and poured the water on Byron's face.
He frowned and closed his eyes.
"There's another document below," Byron said as he slowly wiped the water off his face with a tissue. "You have two choices now. Sign the document or refuse. My people are at the police station, and in half an hour at most, George will go to jail."
"George has already gone abroad. You can't fool me!" Athena sneered.
