Chapter 1423


    Chapter 1423 The Police


    The look on both Joseph and Adam''s faces fell after they heard Nichs, while the rest of the family


    gasped in surprise. Joseph and Adam could no longer contain their rage when they saw the way the


    others were looking at them. "You shouldn''t use us like that, Nichs. You''re speaking without


    evidence! The information you gave us doesn’t tell us anything! You have no proof!" Joseph hissed.

    "How do you know I don''t have proof? Well, since you guys are being so stubborn, I''ll fulfill your wishes."


    Nichs shot them a threatening re before he nced in Edward''s direction. Edward nodded and


    showcased all of the evidence he had found abroad. "These are the receipts from the branches in


    Filisburg that show the transactions that were made."


    Once Edward produced the evidence, Joseph and Adam knew that they had been exposed. Their faces


    turned pale when they realized they could no longer stick to their narrative. They had stood tall at first,


    but now they hunched their backs in guilt. Remus and the rest of the family members were furious to see


    the evidence. "Do you guys still treat me as an elder brother, Joseph and Adam? What are you guys


    trying to do here? Are you guys trying to ruin the Sawyer Family''s centuries'' worth of reputation?" Remus


    was huffing with anger. His eyes were filled with rage and disappointment as he stared at his two


    younger brothers.


    The rest of the family members were also displeased with what Joseph and Adam had done, but they


    didn''t voice out as they knew where they stood in the family. Both Joseph and Adam were taken aback


    by Remus'' harsh words—it had been a while since they saw their brother so angry. At that moment, they


    steeled in their resolve to not admit their involvement in these matters.


    Both of them exchanged nces before Adam, who was better at talking, spoke up. "Nichs, it''s true


    that there are some inconsistencies in the ounts of the business abroad. However, the issue isn''t as


    severe as you portray them to be. I know you''ve been dissatisfied with Joseph and me for not working


    coboratively with the headquarters, but you shouldn''t use such horrible ways to frame us for doing


    something wrong." Adam admitted to the issues with the ounts, but he made it seem as if Nichs


    had tempered with the ounts just to use them.


    Nichs scoffed when he heard their words. "Fine. Let''s assume that I made all of this up just to frame


    both of you. Are you saying that your trades with the Golden Triangle are also something I made up to


    frame you? What about the act of smuggling illegal products? Did I make that up as well? By the way, I


    caught the security guard who messed with my car. Should I bring him over to talk to you guys?"


    Nichs asked.


    Joseph and Adam had been unfazed after hearing Nichs'' first few sentences, but their faces fell after


    hearing Nichs''st sentence. Nichs didn''t want to give them any time toe up with a new


    excuse, so he ordered Edward to bring the guard over immediately. Soon enough, a tall and skinny man


    was escorted into the living hall. This was the first time the security guard had been put in such a


    situation, and his legs were trembling with fear. He felt chills running down his entire body when he saw


    Joseph''s threatening re.


    Nichs noticed their interaction, but he didn''t seem too bothered by it. "Tell me—who''s the one who


    ordered you around? I suggest you think your answers through before responding to me." Nichs'' final


    sentence was a warning to the security guard. The security guard looked at Joseph and Nichs as


    firmness surfaced in his eyes.


    "My son is sick, and I need arge sum of money. So, when Joseph''s assistant came to me and told me


    to work ording to his orders, I went along with it as he offered to save my son," the security guard


    exined. Joseph barked at the security guard immediately after that. "Nonsense! Why would I tell


    someone to approach you?" It was obvious that Joseph didn''t want to admit to his faults.


    However, Joseph didn''t have much of a choice as the police had reached the house by then. It turned out


    that Nichs had contacted the police at the start of the family meeting. "Joseph Sawyer, you''re under


    arrest for attempted homicide and smuggling of illegal goods. Pleasee with us for an investigation,"


    the police announced. After showing Joseph his badge, the police stepped forward to bring Joseph


    away.


    Nichs noticed their interaction, but he didn''t seem too bothered by it. "Tell me—who''s the one who


    ordered you around? I suggest you think your answers through before responding to me." Nichs'' final


    sentence was a warning to the security guard. The security guard looked at Joseph and Nichs as


    firmness surfaced in his eyes.
