Chapter 482 Chapter 482 "I can't accept this! Mr. Edbert, you are advanced in years. What if they sentence you to prison?" A few directors defended Edbert.
Edbert's words made everyone side with him again.
After all, Edbert was an old man.
If the court sentenced him to ten years of imprisonment, Edbert would be locked up for the remainder of his life.
Furthermore, his words gave the impression that Edgar wanted Edbert to take the bland be sentenced to imprisonment.
The meeting room fell silent.
Then, Edgar chuckled and said, "Uncle Edbert, calm down. Let's all sit down and discuss a long-term plan" Edgar pulled out a chair. He had a neutral expression which made him even more puzzling. He was so calm that Edbert could not figure out his thoughts.
"I have snews to tell you, Uncle Edgar. There are good news and bad news. Since you have a heart condition and high blood pressure, I think it is best that you sit down to hear them. Otherwise, you might find them hard to bear" As Edgar spoke, Hiram entered the meeting room with the commissioner from Independent Commission Against Corruption.
"Mr.Zimmer? I didn't ask you to chere. Why..." As Edbert was stunned, Hiram went to Edgar and gave him a document.
"Mr.Edgar, this is the material you requested" Edbert widened his eyes in shock. He never expected Hiram to betray him.
After all, he had made a tremendous effort to convince Hiram to join his side.
How dare he betray me? Edbert glared at Hiram, “Mr.Zimmer, I'm the head of this company.Don't you know whom you should serve?" After saying that, Edbert stood up furiously.

In actuality, he feared Edgar would snatch his position.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him.
Edgar took the folder and tossed it onto the table.
"Uncle Edbert, there's no need for that.Rumors are spreading all around, so it's better to clarify things before everyone. Otherwise, it will affect everyone's profit" The directors grew impatient when they heard the matter would affect their real interest.
Two of the directors even stood up from their seats.
"Mr.Edgar, you said there is good and bad news. What are they?" Edgar glanced at Hiram.
Thus, Hiram immediately explained, "The police have already finished the investigation. Although Royden Group had violated the regulations in this regard, it did not cause severe consequences. Moreover, the debt collectors, who caused a scene at Mr. Edgar's house, confessed that someone arranged for them to do that." "The police are now involved in this investigation and will soon issue warrants against relevant people." After that, Hiram pulled out a handwriting analysis report.
"It seems the matter is heavily related to Edbert" "Impossible! How dare you slander me?" Edbert hit his walking stick against the floor and protested, "I have never seen these people do something like this. This is all fake!" "Uncle Edbert, why are you so angry?" Edgar stepped forward and pressed Edbert back into his seat.
Then, he leaned down and said, "You and I know that everything is fabricated" Edgar created a fake handwriting analysis report, while Edbert fabricated Edgar's signature on documents, hoping to make him the scapegoat.
Thus, Edgar was only paying Edbert back for what he did.
Edbert clenched his fists and said fiercely, "You think you can trust Hiram? He accepted my money.Once I report him, none of you can escape" Edgar stood up slowly and chuckled.
"You're right. This is the other news I wanted to tell you.Mr.Zimmer has surrendered himself.He also chere to complete his resignation procedures." Edbert nearly fainted from fury upon hearing this.
Still, something worst for him was yet to come.
Security had blocked the reporters from entering the building.
Yet, someone helped them to sneak in and even led them to the meeting room door.
The reporters saw the tense scene inside and were eager to get in.
Thus, they swarmed forward and burst through the door.
Sreporters frantically took photos of Edgar and Edbert while the others pointed their microphones at them. "Mr.Edgar, how is the case progressing?" "There are rumors that you and Mr. Edbert have turned against each other. Is it to compete for control over the company?" "Mr.Edbert, the police seem to have received a report accusing you of secretly transferring properties from Royden Group and damaging others' benefit.Is this true?" Edbert's face blanched.
At the stime, the directors all stood up in shock.
"Transferring properties?" It was their first thearing this.
Previously, Edbert had contacted them personally and told them many of his long-term plans.
It turned out they were all deceived by Edbert. He wanted to gobble up Royden Group's properties and steal Edgar's achievements.
The directors only now realized that they had bechis pawn.
Thus, everyone immediately defected from Edbert's side.
Faced with so many cameras, Edbert had no choice but to faint.

George immediately supported him and shouted at the reporters, "These are all unfounded rumors. Mr.Edbert will cooperate with the police investigation.However, he is now unwell.Can you afford to take responsibility if something happens to him? Scram! Stop taking photos!"
Despite George's scolding, the reporters still took he left the meet any photos as room, carrying Edbert on his back. Miles was waiting outside the door. He had called security over for stime.
However, he waited until Edbert fainted from anger before heading in to control the situation.
The directors glanced at each other.
Then, they stood up and went to apologize to Edgar.
"Mr.Edgar, we didn't expect things to turn out this way."
"Previously, Edbert and George met with us privately. However, we did hot know his real purpose. We had no idea that he had planned such things' "Mr.Edgar, please believe us" The directors sounded remorseful.
They were on the verge of kneeling before him..
However, these people had no qualms about abandoning Edgar while he was detained.
They did not hesitate to join Edbert's side.
Therefore, Edgar did not wish to let any one of them remain.
Edgar raised his eyebrows and looked outside the glass door. He noticed a slender figure beside Miles.
"We will discuss this next time" After that, he got up and went outside.
He lifted Jean's cap with one hand and asked, "Did you bring the reporters in?" Jean fluttered her lashes and nodded.
"Did I cause trouble? I thought the reporters might be helpful.” "Hmm, you causedstrouble, Ms.Eyer. You need to take responsibility," Renta! This Vampire Won't Give Up! Madoka Kitaji/Kodansha Ltd:
