Chapter 714

Over the years, Matthew’s sins had piled up like a mountain of discarded coffee cups!

One scandal that shook the nation was the exploitation of young women through the Chamberlain Foundation, a so–called benevolent fund under the Chambers Group umbrella. The public outcry was deafening, with the reputation of the Chambers Group shattered beyond repair.

Jeff had indeed assembled a top–notch legal team for his eldest son.

Everyone thought that, despite the litany of charges, the absence of a murder charge combined with slick lawyers and corporate maneuvering would have Matthew walking free in seven to eight years.

But no one saw this coming! Five days into Matthew’s detention, new evidence

surfaced with the police.

Simultaneously, the accomplice previously mentioned by Elva – who had helped Matthew dispose of a body and had witnessed the whole tragic incident – had a crisis of conscience and turned himself in, laying bare all of Matthew’s misdeeds.

Under the pressure of the formidable K Group and Abernathy Group, it seemed that even the once–feared Chambers Group was no longer so intimidating.

Once the favored son and heir to the Chambers Group presidency, Jeff’s pride, Matthew was now a fallen man, scorned and spat upon by the masses!

Matthew had always believed he was the smartest of his siblings, yet his downfall was the most tragic of them all.

Watching his most hated adversary crumble, Avery’s face was as dark as if he were attending a funeral.
