A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 716

After the beating, Jack lit a cigarette and asked Leslie, "Do you want to live or die?"

"Live! I want to live! I'll do whatever you say if you spare my life." Leslie scrambled over, hugging Jack's leg desperately.

"Great." Jack pulled out a pen and paper and turned on a video recorder.

"Write down every dirty deal the Cline Corporation's been involved in. And while you're at it, list everyone else who's been targeting me."

"I'll write! I'll tell you everything! Please don't kill me." Fueled by fear, he started scribbling furiously, spilling every harmful deed by the Cline Corporation.

Jack was more than pleased to see Leslie so eager to confess. The next day, Leslie—bruised, battered, and barely standing—was released.

When Leslie returned to the Cline Corporation, he saw government officials in uniform swarming the building.

Leslie knew the Cline Corporation was done for. The high-speed rail project alone was enough to bury the company forever. But now, with charges of money laundering, tax evasion, and a laundry list of other crimes surfacing, there was no saving it.

Any one of those charges could have destroyed them. Together, they were a death sentence.

Leslie's father had seen it coming. When the handcuffs were finally placed on his wrists, he lowered his head in silent regret.

Leslie was arrested shortly after. As the vice president of the Cline Corporation, there was no way Leslie could distance himself from the company's dirty dealings.

But the fallout didn't stop with just the Cline Corporation. The company's rise had relied heavily on networks and under-the-table exchanges. Now that the company was collapsing, the officials involved were also being investigated, many placed under disciplinary review.

Even Alnewgo's underworld ruler, Sebastian, was not spared. His ties with the Cline family ran deep. He also had a personal, illicit relationship with Leslie's mother. That was one of the key reasons he had always sided with the Cline family.

Sebastian would naturally be dragged into the mess now that the Cline Corporation had fallen. But he had gone into hiding early.

Sebastian was crouched in a dark corner, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at a pile of documents.
