God-Tier Like System
Liliana’s eyes were extremely hollow. She stared blankly ahead, not knowing what to say as her body trembled involuntarily. Regret was crashing into her heart like a turbulent wave. But, at this moment, she knew that there was no going back. Even Tim wouldn’t have a single solution when faced with such ironclad evidence of tax evasion. As long as one person reported her, she would face the strict handling by the judicial authorities. The same was true for Callum. At present, he was extremely remorseful. Initially, he thought that Christopher would certainly be dealt with by the Kelley Family after provoking them. To his surprise, not only did the Kelley Family not kill him, but Brentwood City’s prestigious family, the Myers, came forward and stopped the Kelleys, to the point that they dared not speak up. Callum fully understood it now. From the beginning, Christopher never once held him with any regard. He just wanted to see how far Callum could go before he ruthlessly made him pay. Nevertheless, Christopher didn’t go all out. If he did, Callum would be dead on the streets by now. Even if he wanted to resist, he wouldn’t have the slightest power to. It was only then that Callum realized how weak he was.When everyone heard what Christopher, Liliana, and Callum were saying, they realized they were wrong to blame Christopher. They were aware that the two people kneeling in front of them were the ones they should be scolding. “Lady, he saved your father, yet you don’t know how to be grateful, and you even made a false countercharge!” “I know, right? So venomous. You’re quite beautiful, so how could you have such thoughts?” “Exactly. And young man, why did you have to report false news and frame other people?” “Now, someone must be unable to stand them any longer and have taken action to teach them a lesson. They deserve it!” Initially, many of the people who were criticizing Christopher began to berate Liliana and Callum. Meanwhile, Christopher simply let out a cold laugh. Someone’s unable to stand them any longer, huh? If it weren’t because he went looking for Andy and Harold, the two of them would certainly still be arrogant at this moment. One would be thinking about how to kill him, while the other would be coming up with ways to stink up his reputation. As for the good Samaritan the crowd was talking about, were they helping him because they couldn’t stand it either? In fact, Christopher was well aware of the truth. Liliana and Callum, however, couldn’t bear to hear their curses anymore. They were thinking about their fate from here onward. If they actually had to spend a few years in prison, they feared that after they got out, their lives would be completely ruined. At this thought, the remorse they felt seemed to seep into the atmosphere and spread over their bodies, making their faces paler. Why did we have to provoke Christopher? If we hadn’t, these things wouldn't be happening now. If I could turn back time, I definitely wouldn’t have offended him. Both Liliana and Callum were having similar thoughts. However, the two of them understood that because of the trouble they’d caused, there was no chance to redeem themselves at this point. A few seconds later, Liliana’s face was pale as she shook her head. Then, she stood up and took a few steps, her eyes looking empty. Just as she was about to exit the crowd, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. Immediately after that, a touch of ecstasy appeared on her face, and her body began to tremble slightly. Her huge chest shook violently a few times, then she turned around in an instant and ran toward Christopher. While she ran, her voice was loud as she cried out, “Christopher, I’ve got it. About Tim’s affairs, as long as you let me go, I have a video of him and me—”When Christopher heard Liliana’s remarks, an inexplicable gleam flashed across his originally cold eyes. Without waiting for her to finish speaking, he interrupted her. Christopher shot a glance at the woman, who was suddenly a little excited, then said faintly, “Come in with me.” Christopher knew very well that there were certain things that couldn’t be discussed here, especially matters that involved Tim. He was the Deputy Director of the Department of Public Security of Brentwood City, so Christopher had to be cautious about how he handled this. As for Callum, Christopher didn’t even spare him a glance. He said that he would ensure he was imprisoned, so he wasn’t going to get soft-hearted. In The Serenade, only a few people had offices—only Luna and a few other people had one. Naturally, Christopher didn’t have one, but for safety’s sake, he brought Liliana into Luna’s office. Liliana had no protests but simply cast him a suspicious glance. There were many things about him she didn’t understand, but when she saw that he didn’t say anything, she didn’t ask either. “Talk. Whatever you say next determines your fate in future!” Christopher stared intently at Liliana, his eyes filled with frost as he got to the last part of his sentence. Upon hearing this, Liliana shuddered. To get rid of the nervous look on her face, she took a deep breath and hurriedly said, “Tim is having an affair with me, and w-we’ve slept together many times. Two of those times, I filmed a video. The videos were very clear and high—” Liliana’s expression changed. She seemed to be hesitating about whether or not to tell him those things, but she gritted her teeth and spoke quickly with a resolute expression on her face. Before she finished speaking, Christopher cut her off again. Naturally, he knew about the improper things Tim and Liliana did, so he could pretty much guess what she was going to say next. It was just that Luna and Scarlett were here, so Christopher reckoned it wasn’t suitable to let Liliana continue speaking. Otherwise, even if Liliana wouldn’t feel awkward, he would. “Hand the video over to Harold. If he confirms that there’s no problem with it, I’ll ask him to reduce the amount of tax you evaded, and when the time comes, the punishment the tax authorities impose on you will be lighter. If you’re unsatisfied with my terms, you can choose not to give the video. Then, whatever happens next would be beyond your control.” Christopher was tempted to ask Liliana to give him the video, but after taking a glance at Luna and Scarlett, who were giving him unpleasant looks, he figured it was better not to. Liliana could barely conceal her delight when she heard Christopher’s statement. She immediately kneeled down and said while trembling, “I’ll hand it over. I will. Christopher, I’ll hand the video over right away!”
