Chapter 496: Father and Son [1]

Arthur was a good man, and in public opinion he helped Dohrin cover up the shocking tragedy that had occurred in Namirinders, because he stood up and testified before the Chief of Police, the Chief of Police Investigation, and the Chief Justice for Life that his father, Mr. John George, had obtained at least 15 percent of the shares of hundreds of newspapers at a very low price, for which Mr. John had paid only 100 dollars.

If Mr. John was able to buy 15 per cent of a newspaper for a hundred dollars, the total value of these newspapers would not have exceeded 1,000 dollars, and he would not be able to clear himself of part of the charge unless he could prove to the Department of Justice and to the public that they were not worth 1,000 dollars at the time he took a stake.

But he can't do it, and even if he can do it, no one will let him do it. In an instant, almost all the newspapers were reporting news about Arthur, which was a spontaneous act of the newspaper company, and no one greeted them.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion about what Arthur was about being an upright man — he took the initiative to testify against his father's crimes, and the judicial process took a big leap forward. With a heavyweight like Arthur and involved in insider trading as a key witness, I am afraid that even if John invites Kevin, it will be difficult for him to completely clear his name.

Or maybe he's a despicable person - after all, Mr. John is his real father, but he stood up and stabbed Mr. John in the back when he needed help the most, and Arthur went too far in terms of universal values and people's emotions.

There are many reasons why people want to pay attention to this news and some of the things behind it.

The George family itself is a legendary industry trust, with a very resounding reputation in the empire, especially in the middle class, where all successful people are their goals and pursuits, and the George family is one of them. Infighting in the extended family is often one of the favorite news stories of these middle classes, who may talk about some stock price movements, as well as possible opportunities and career disasters, all of which are caused by the scandals of the extended family.

At such a moment of "all eyes", Arthur personally came to the First Prison of the Empire and sat in a separate room with Mr. John. There are cameras and tape recorders in the room, which are unpowered and mounted like furnishings on ceilings in the four corners. There were no prison guards in the room either, just the two of them.

This is what Arthur requested. He told the Justice Department that he would do his best to persuade Mr. John to confess, but that they could not eavesdrop on what they were saying, and they could not even leave the footage.

The Ministry of Justice discussed this internally, agreed to Arthur's request, and signed the agreement. If he can persuade John to confess, it will be enough to maximize the credibility of the Ministry of Justice within the empire, and increase more authority.

It is very easy to formulate a law, and several people can come up with a regulation by sitting together and patting their heads, but how to implement it is the real problem and difficulty. When Maggs privately passed the Unlawful Manipulation of Industries Act in the Reichstag, this was the first shot fired for this bill, which could only succeed, not fail. In order to make more people realize the justice and seriousness of the law, and the supreme majesty that God has given to the law, it is obviously the best ending if John Sr. can take the initiative to confess his sins.

The air in the room was a little dreary, and Arthur suddenly sighed, fiddling with the cufflinks on his sleeves. He didn't look up at John, not that he didn't dare, he just didn't want to, "I think you must know what I did that day." ”

John's face was blank, as if he didn't even understand what Arthur meant, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?", Arthur's tone rose a little, and he shook his head, "Have you really forgotten, then...... No, you're lying to me. Actually, the two of us are really very strange to each other, you have already lied to me once, and now you almost lied to me a second time, I don't know anything about you, are you really my father?"

Mr. John remained silent and did not say a word. How could he have forgotten the day Arthur walked into his hospital room and hugged his arm and cried, he really thought for a moment that Arthur finally understood what family was, what family was, and what family was. But Arthur's next move made him angry, and he almost failed to disguise. The bastard actually choked the ventilator tube he was using to breathe.

He could feel the air in his mask disappear for a moment, and if he hadn't been pretending to be unconscious, he might have been killed by Arthur that day.

But he won't say it now, he didn't even tell Mark, now the George family is facing a huge crisis, and at this time any internal friction and infighting are forbidden. His rivals would surely have used such a thing to control Arthur for their unspeakable and despicable purposes. Only when everything is over will he speak out, and then strip Arthur of his inheritance and drive him out of the family.

So he had to keep acting as if nothing had happened.

He knew his youngest son too well, and he put all the guilt he felt about Mark on Arthur, giving him the best of everything, giving him whatever he wanted, and ignoring the consequences of arrogance.

Arthur has always been like a child who has not grown up, and when he has a strong desire to get something but can't get it, his emotions will get out of control. The relationship between them is precisely because Arthur wants, and he does not give it.

There was silence in the room again, and after a few moments, Arthur looked at John, and in that short time he had accumulated enough emotions that he was no longer afraid to face John.

"Mark is dead!"

A very short sentence, only two words, but Mr. John stood up sharply, pressed his hands on the table, and the green tendons beside his temples swelled, making him look a little hideous.

"What do you say? Say it again!"

Arthur said calmly: "Mark is dead, died in a robbery, the robber pierced him in the heart with a dagger, and by the time the ambulance arrived at the scene, he was already dead and could not die again. Unable to resist an impulse, Arthur took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, took a slow breath, spit it out gently, and couldn't help but say: "Look, after a circle, we are back to the starting point!"

This seemingly inexplicable sentence was said by Mr. John to Arthur four years ago.

At that time, Mr. John was extremely disappointed in Arthur, and because Arthur wanted more money and was not satisfied, he colluded with John's brothers and sisters to try to take money out of the public account and squander it. When Mr. John found out about this, he sent Arthur into his study and talked to him once.

It was definitely not a pleasant conversation for the father and son. Arthur uses the clumsy negotiation skills he has learned to make Mr. John understand that everything he does is for the sake of the family and everything is for the sake of the family's business. Arthur was never able to convince Mr. John, and finally said something out of control, telling Mr. John that he was the heir of the George family, and that these things were all his, and that he just wanted to manage them in advance.

In discouragement, John first gave a portion of the estate to Arthur to manage, and at the end, he told Arthur, "Look, come full circle, and we're back to square one!"

"You're just a thief who can never satisfy your desires and keeps stealing money from your father's pocket!"

"Take your money and you're good to go!"

Since that incident, Mr. John has recalled Mark and has high hopes.

Mr. John's brow twitched, and he clearly remembered the conversation, and he grimaced Arthur, his son, with a cold face, and in a tone that was almost merciless. Then he threw him out of the house like a beggar, and told him that there was nothing he was not allowed to come back.

Now, this sentence is used on himself.

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck his heart, which was in a state of grief over the death of his eldest son, and the expression on his face twisted even more, and he pounced on Arthur.

Arthur stepped back in fright, nearly losing his balance and overpowering his chair. He steadied his weight on the ground with his legs, and realized that Mr. John, no matter how long his arms were, could not have touched him across the table.

He straightened his tie with limited embarrassment, and then looked at Mr. John with an eyebrow.

"You, you did it, didn't you? you arranged Mark's death!", Mr. John growled under his breath, white spit spreading from the corners of his mouth, and he flailed his fists in rage, like a monster that chooses to devour people.

An inexplicable chill flashed in Arthur's eyes, and he sneered, "This is slander, father!"

There's nothing more tragic than the loss of a child in old age, especially as he watches Mark grow up fast enough to stand alone and sustain his family. Even if the George family can't resist this time, with his connections and wealth over the years, it is enough to make the George family rise again after fading out of people's sight. But all of this was ruined by this bastard!

All ruined by him!

Seeing Mr. John's teeth and claws, Arthur quickly stood up and walked down the wall towards the door, saying as he went, "I'm just here to tell you this bad news, and besides, I want you to confess." Only when you confess your sins can the family hope to revive itself! Do you know what your family says about you?"

"It's because of you that the family has become like this, you are the one who caused all this, it started with you, and it should end with you!"

He pulled the door open, took one last look at John, who was gasping for air, squeezed out a smile, nodded, and closed the door.

When the Commissioner of Justice saw Arthur leave the room, he immediately greeted him and asked about the outcome of their discussion.

Arthur looked at the commissioner with a serious face, and said very seriously: "My father is not in good health and can't stand such a blow. When we talked just now, he seemed to have a ......", and there was a hint of hesitation on his face, "It seems that he has the intention of committing suicide......
