Stronger Every Time I Die
Finley pondered. Loyalty requires capital, and he’s just a poor, worthless fool. Why should he talk about loyalty? He’s only holding us back! Such an idiot! But this is perfect, it’s like killing two birds with one stone to catch them all in one net. Finley glanced down at Mia below. The Lovaris family's legal team was notoriously fearsome. However, Finley didn't believe that the prestigious Lovaris family would use their influence for such trivial characters. In this game, Finley felt he held the winning cards! The police officers exchanged glances upon hearing Taylor’s declaration. Someone willingly presenting themselves? Although it was unexpected, with Taylor volunteering, the lead officer waved his hand, directing two officers to surround Taylor. They brought specialized scanning equipment, nodded to each other, and began scanning Arthur. Everyone at the venue held their breath at this moment. Many knew about the friction between Finley and Arthur, and since everyone else who had been in contact with Finley had been checked and cleared, Arthur was the last suspect left. Was the ring on Arthur? Both Hugo and Mateo’s eyes betrayed their nervousness. Their minds raced, thinking of possible moves next. They were both considering the forces they could muster. They were determined to protect Arthur, even if it meant offending the Tremo family. Arthur represented their shared dreams! Just as the scanner was about to reach Arthur, he suddenly lifted his hand, holding something. “Are you looking for this?” The moment he raised his hand, the crowd gasped in shock. “Oh my! Isn’t that the ring Finley lost?” “It’s actually on Arthur! He even dares to pull it out!” “It really was Arthur who stole Finley’s ring! My God! Arthur is so bold!” “I heard Arthur was abused by his family as a child, living a life of hunger and cold. He must be driven mad by poverty! Now that he isn’t lacking money, he still steals expensive items!” “How could he dare do this! Doesn’t he know he couldn’t even sell it if he stole it?”“Thank goodness Finley called the police! Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have handed it over!” “He’s definitely from a small place.” The crowd’s chatter almost tore the roof off, shocking everyone present! Hugo and Mateo on stage had complex expressions, their thoughts racing. If it really was on Arthur, and he brought it out voluntarily, it suggested that Arthur might have already been aware of it before. Does he have a contingency plan? How could they prove that the ring had been planted in Arthur’s pocket? How could they prove Arthur was framed? Amidst the confused thoughts of the crowd, Taylor suddenly shouted, “The ring was placed in Arthur’s pocket by me!” Saying this, Taylor ignored the police’s restraint and lunged for the ring in Arthur’s hand! Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Arthur, anticipating this, sidestepped as Taylor lunged, stabilizing the nearly fallen Taylor. Arthur said resignedly, “Taylor, don’t make a scene, I know what I’m doing.” “Arthur!” Taylor tried to say more, but the police quickly reacted, restraining him. Taylor struggled, still trying to reach for the ring, but how could he break free from the police? The crowd's chatter exploded again. “My God! Taylor is so foolish! Does he really need to go to these lengths for someone he hasn’t known long?” “Taylor is trying to take the blame for Arthur!” “I felt something was off when he went up there; he really did want to take the blame for Arthur!” “Arthur did it himself, why should Taylor take the blame?” “Taylor is really foolish! Has he been deceived by Arthur?” Taylor ignored the crowd’s comments, his eyes filled with urgency. Finley was shocked by Taylor’s sacrificial spirit. Hehe, but if he wants to sacrifice himself, why not let him? Finley quickly approached the stage, pointing at the ring in Arthur’s hand, feigning surprise.“Arthur? How come my ring is in your hand? I clearly wore it properly on my own.” Hearing this question, led by Kent and Henry, the crowd quickly responded. “Of course, Arthur stole it when you weren’t paying attention!” "Arthur is so despicable! He managed to wriggle out of previous accusations, and now, harboring resentment, he actually stole Finley’s ring!”
