If It's Not Me
Sensing the attention from those around him, Daniel calmly said, "The evidence is not with me.' After hearing the man's words, everyone else rolled their eyes upward in an annoyed manner and sniggered at him. At the same time, a bright smile showed on Ingrid's face, enchanting almost every man who set his eyes on her beautiful face. Just as I expected, Daniel doesn't have the evidence to testify against us. Meanwhile, Cameron also heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Daniel's reply. Daniel's next response instantly caught everyone's attention once again. "The evidence is in your phones, though. Check it out yourselves." Ingrid furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what Daniel was up to. Nevertheless, she refused to allow Daniel's aura to dominate her at all. "Fine, let's take a look at your so-called evidence. I'm going to check my phone out now." The lady confidently smiled and reached for her phone. As soon as she unlocked her screen, she was greeted by the sight of tens of messages that occupied her screen. When she read through them, the smile on her face stiffened. Sensing something wrong with Ingrid's facial expression, everyone else reached for their phones, and their faces were filled with surprise the next moment. At the same time, the entire atmosphere of the place was filled with an oppressive silence. Meanwhile, Cameron, who was standing on the stage, anxiously turned around and asked, "Is everything alright, Mr. Murphy?" Nevertheless, all he could see was a gloomy look on Samuel's face after Samuel saw what was on his phone. "What's wrong with everybody?" Tia, who was sitting among the crowd, felt bewildered upon sensing the strange reaction from everyone else's faces. Skeptical, she reached for her phone and was also greeted by the sight of more than a dozen messages that filled her screen. 'Breaking news! Goldshore's Cameron Doyle murdered his own son in cold blood!' 'The conspiracy within the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce of Goldshore is surfacing, and the truth is…' Tia was shocked when she read the headlines of those news. She then saw a video and decided to watch it. When the footage began playing, it was quickly revealed that it was secretly taken with multiple shots from different angles in the ward where Fletcher could be clearly seen sleeping in bed. Then, Cameron entered the ward with two bodyguards after they closed the door right behind them.On the other hand, Cameron stood beside the bed and looked at Fletcher with a complicated look on his face, seemingly murmuring something inaudibly. The next moment, the bodyguards quickly got a hold of Fletcher and forcefully opened his mouth before they shoved dozens of sleeping pills down his throat. Needless to say, Fletcher was awoken as he tried hard to struggle, but when he saw his father standing beside his bed tearfully, he seemed to have understood something, shedding tears of despair from his eyes. Not long after that, he seemingly gave up struggling, allowing the two bodyguards to continue stuffing him with sleeping pills. When they were done, Fletcher instantly felt a strong discomfort in his body, his breathing getting weaker and weaker. He then turned his attention to Cameron and said something that broke Cameron's heart. Based on the movement of his lips, the viewers were able to tell that he was saying, "I'm sorry, Dad." While the video was only five minutes long, the last two minutes were fast-forwarded. After making sure Fletcher was dead, the two bodyguards placed his body in the wheelchair and covered his face with the blanket before leaving. When the video ended, the viewers took a deep breath and gazed at Cameron on stage with a horrified expression. Deep down, none of them could believe that he really killed his son, surprised to learn that Daniel was actually telling the truth. Since the reporters had never seen or heard something like that, they were all stupefied by the news. Gosh! Cameron killed his son in cold blood just to fake his innocence and frame someone. The reporters were stunned, their eyes left wide open as they struggled to calm themselves down from the shocking news. On the other hand, Daniel reacted with a smile on his face. Ingrid, this is my present for you. Although he had all it took to reclaim the Hardon Group for himself, he knew that was not enough to compensate for the days he spent in the past ten years for having been framed, not to mention clear his name. Deep down, he was aware that Ingrid was an ambitious woman who thought that everyone was envious of her success. Since the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce is the source of your confidence, I'm going to shatter it bit by bit and weaken you slowly. By then, you're going to feel as if the whole world has abandoned you. On the other hand, Ingrid also noticed the smile on Daniel's face, feeling so angry that she nearly lost her mind. I can't believe Daniel really has the evidence to testify against us. At the thought of that, she realized she had fallen for Daniel's trap. He must have intentionally let Fletcher live after killing Douglas, making me go after him instead. After all, if Fletcher was still alive, the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce would fall victim to the negative rumors, which could eventually cost them their chances of securing the Sky Project. However, Ingrid had no idea that the move she made by having Cameron kill Fletcher was now used against her by Daniel, knowing clearly that it would severely cripple the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce's power. How cunning of you, Daniel! You're even harder to deal with than I thought, but do you really think this is all it takes to bring me down? Ingrid clenched her jaw and said, "Mr. Doyle will be punished accordingly for his actions." In the meantime, Cameron was shaking like a leaf with a pale face, struggling to say a single word; it seemed as though there was something stuck in his throat. "Where is the timestamp and date of this video, though?" She pointed out her observation coldly. Indeed, the time and date weren't revealed in the video, which could not prove whether Fletcher died either the day before or two days ago. Therefore, it was not deemed to be valid evidence to prove that the Doyle Family put a hit on someone, or the theory of Cameron driving a wedge between Jacko and Raymond. However, everyone tacitly knew the truth because Cameron didn't have to kill his own son if he didn't hire the assassin, but of course, none of them was willing to put their lives on the line and speak their mind. "In that case, what proof do you have to accuse me of killing Douglas Warren?" Daniel asked calmly. "You can ask the police about that! Somebody! Please arrest him!" Ingrid shouted indifferently. As the man and the lady exchanged gazes in a hostile manner, the tension in the atmosphere escalated quickly. "That's all for the press conference today. You may leave now, ladies and gentlemen!" Asher shouted, glaring at Daniel unhappily from the stage. At that moment, the reporters quickly rose from their seats, leaving the place without even looking back. Meanwhile, Tia was worried about Daniel, but Aidan seized her arm and dragged her away from the hall. In that instant, the hall became empty and silent as it was left with only Daniel and his alliance, along with a dozen bodyguards. As soon as the press left, Asher angrily shouted, "What are you guys waiting for?! Arrest them!" When the man finished his words, the bodyguards quickly surrounded the trio with stun batons, ready to charge at them at any moment.Nevertheless, Daniel remained calm and collected as if he was the fearless God of War. In that instant, he radiated a strong glacial aura, filling the hall with the atmosphere with his indifference and nonchalance that sent chills down everyone's spine. Suddenly, a painful scream broke the reigning silence.
