<b>Chapter </b>739


    Vi looked terribly upset. It took her a while to react. She said forcefully, “<b>Don’t </b>act like we know each other. I don’t know you well at all!”


    “Really?” George gave a strangeugh. His voice had a tone that made others feel ufortable.” But I know you really well. After all, you said you were willing to give me a loan. I was so touched with the offer, Miss Shaw.”


    Vi stumbled. Luther was already staring at her with a warning look in his eye. He lowered his voice and asked her, “What are <b>you </b>hiding from <b>me</b>?”


    George looked at Vi like a venomous snake. “I’m here to get what you promised me, Miss Shaw. You told me that if I took that old man as hostage, Mnie would fork out the money obediently…


    “But I didn’t get a single cent, and I ended up with fucking decades of jail time for his life. You lied to me, Vi Shaw. You did this to me!”


    George looked increasingly savage. He was having a miserable time in prison. Someone had to watch him even when using the <b>bathroom</b><b>. </b>


    This humiliation made George get increasingly furious at Vi.


    Vi’s arrogance deted the moment George appeared. Even her exquisite makeup could not hide the panic in her eyes. It was clear that she was unsettled.


    She denied it in a small voice, “No, you’re lying. I don’t know you at all.”


    Anyone could tell that she was lying.


    George was unperturbed. He hade prepared. He took out a sh drive from his pocket and said wickedly, “The judge will find out soon if we know each other.”


    Heughed and said gleefully, “Fortunately<b>, </b>I’m nothing like that stupid woman. I knew you were up to no good, and I recorded a little something…


    “I was nning to use it to get some money from you to start a business, but you ended up being responsible for my father–inw’s death. You even convinced that stupid woman to jump off a building!”


    George asked darkly, “Miss Shaw, aren’t you afraid of my dear old father–in<b>–</bw climbing into your bed while you sleep?”


    Vi shrunk back in fear from his words. Mnie saw Vi’s reaction.


    When Dn jumped off the building, Mnie immediately informed Zara about this. That was when both of <b>them </b>knew that Dn could not be relied on.


    Zara proceeded to ask Mnie questions about George<b>. </b>She then reached out to him to negotiate the


    situation.

    She was awyer and knew how to y the psychological game well. It did not take much to convince


    George.


    George’s sudden appearance and the evidence he submitted turned the situation around. Zara took the opportunity to conduct an attack that rendered Luther speechless.


    When the judge’s gavel fell, Mnie saw Vi stumble. She fell sitting on the ground.


    Vi waspletely defeated. She turned to look at Luther and begged desperately <b>as </b>she grabbed him, “Think of something, Mr. Laing. There must be something you can do. Help me! What should I do now?”


    Luther was in <b>a </b>bad mood after losing the case. He had lost because of George’s unexpected


    <b>appearance</b>.


    He was a topwyer, and his reputation was now sullied because of this case. He was not in the <b>mood </b>to humor Vi.


    He pushed her hand away and said unhappily, “How would I know what you should do? I asked you before if you had told me everything. Tell me, who’s <b>this </b>person who suddenly appeared?


    “You should’ve taken care of your own dirty work!”


    Luther got even more annoyed and left without Vi.


    Vi watched him walk away in disbelief. “You can’t leave, Luther Laing! Matthew Smith told you to help me!”
