Chapter 382 She Will Find out the Truth
“Look at the Seyben Group, the top shareholder with 20% of the shares. What can you think of?”
Cecelia perused the information. “I can’t get anything from the surface.”
“Right, you can’t get anything. Then reverse the word order and read the compound again.”
Cecelia reversed the word order and read the compound, “Bensey… Bensey, Bensey…”
A name suddenly flashed across her mind. Cecelia was enlightened and responded, “Is it him-Benson Quinsey?”
“I’ve done an investigation. It’s him! The Seyben Group is an independent company, not under his name, so it’s hard to find it out.”
Cecelia knitted her eyebrows. When she thought of Benson’s unusually beautiful face, her face turned cold.
“It looks like it’s really wrong to judge a book by its cover. He has ambitiously taken so much, but he still wants to get more by working with me. Is he trying to annex the Songo Group?”
Remington analyzed, “Now we don’t know whether the 20% shares were given to him by your great-uncle or obtained secretly by himself. If it is the latter, I believe he wants to avenge her mother and get back what she deserved; but if it is the former, then that’s an interesting story!”
Upon learning that the Seyben Group held shares, Cecelia’s trust in Benson was halved.
She would find out Benson’s role in this!
After coming out of the law firm, Remington received a call from Adam. He got in the car and said, “Go to Kevin now. He says he has found an important clue.”
The two drove to meet Adam. The latter told his sister what he had unintentionally found, “Sis, while I was investigating the Songos, I accidentally got an important message by eavesdropping.”
“What is the message?”
“A man who professed to be Brett called Chris many times to ask for money, threatening that if Chris didn’t give him money, he would disclose what happened five years ago.
“It was clearly a blackmail, but Chris never had the guts to call the police. In the past three months, he has remitted money to Brett three times, with about 45,000 dollars each time. The latest remitting happened in the daytime today.”
After hearing Adam’s report, Cecelia was lost in thought. “What is the dirty thing Chris asked him to do five years ago? Then Brett used it as a threat to blackmail him repeatedly. What on earth is it?”
“If we want to know what it is, find Brett and ask him. We’ll get the answer,” Remington suggested.
“Good idea. Can you track down Brett, Kevin?” Cecelia asked.
“I’ve tapped his phone and found his location. He’s now in the Phoenix Entertainment City.”
“Go, let’s go to the Phoenix Entertainment City.”
They went to the Phoenix Entertainment City with their subordinates. Cecelia and Remington didn’t get out of the car. It was Adam who went to the entertainment city to look for Brett with their team.
The Phoenix Entertainment City was a place where the visitors enjoyed luxury. The underground casino was boiling with liveliness.
Brett, the slovenly man with stubble, was in the crowd of gamblers. He would never leave until he had lost all his money.
He had bought chips with the 45,000 dollars he got in the daytime, but he lost all of them in a few hours.
He became irritated after losing his money. He wished to win his money back, but he didn’t have a penny in his pocket. With a cigarette between his lips, he reached out to feel for his phone all over his body.
Once he got his phone, he was to call Chris to “borrow” money again. But before take a few steps, two unknown men suddenly flanked him and took his arms.
“Ouch, what are you doing? I don’t know you…”
“Mr. Songo wants to see you!” the two men whispered to Brett. One of them pressed a dagger against his waist, and he stopped talking.
After checking Brett’s appearance, Adam took his men to the entertainment city. Coincidentally, as soon as he came in, he keenly saw Brett.
He was taken out from the back door by the two men.
“He’s over there! Follow them!”
Adam hurried to the back door with his men. He thought Brett was leaving with his friends, but when they came out of the back door, he saw that the two men taking him away were punching and kicking him.
“Help! … stop… stop…”
Brett, curling up on the ground, kept asking for mercy.
“Will you dare to try another blackmail?”
“Give us the thing, or we’ll kill you.”
While beating Brett, the two men forced him to give them the thing. Brett was unwilling to tell them, and one man grabbed his collar and showed him his switchblade.
Brett widened his eyes, his face filled with horror.
“Say it or not? Mr. Songo didn’t kill you because he wanted to give you a way out. But you dared to keep a secret sound recording? It looks like you want to die!”
The moment the man raised his knife to stab Brett, Adam threw over a stick, which hit the back of the man’s hand and knocked off his knife.
Before they could figure out who had thrown the stick, a foot had quickly and fiercely reached them, sending them flying.
Adam and his men punched the two men like crazy, and the two men lost consciousness.
Brett peed his pants in terror, hoping to edge away on his hands and knees, but Adam stood in his way.
“Don’t… Don’t kill me… Sir, spare my life…”
“You’re Brett, right? Come with us!”
Adam grabbed the man’s collar and pulled him up.
Brett was brought over and flung in front of Cecelia and Remington. Looking up and seeing Cecelia, he was dazed because he had never met such a beautiful woman.
“Stop looking! If you keep looking, I’ll gouge your f*cking eyes out!”
Adam gave him a kick, and Brett immediately lowered his head.
Eying the seriously beaten man, Cecelia asked, “You are Brett? You used to be Chris’s man, right?”
Brett was terrified and surprised, not knowing what these people wanted him for.
Cecelia brought a bag from behind her back, unzipped it, and tossed it to him. “Here is 150,000 dollars! If you tell me what you know, the money is yours! If you refuse, I’ll send you to Chris. I believe he must be looking everywhere for you.”
Seeing the bag of cash, Brett was stunned. What he wanted most now was money!
“Will you truly give me the 150,000 dollars if I tell you?”
But he still had doubts. He didn’t believe there was a pie in the sky.
“Yes, of course! I have a beef with Chris. I want to know what he had asked you to do and what the thing you threatened him with is.”
Cecelia exposed her relationship with Chris, only to dispel the man’s worries.
Brett was having a mental struggle. If he revealed it, he would have a chance to survive and get the 150,000 dollars; even if he didn’t, Chris would not let him off and might also send men to kill him.
In the face of great temptation, Brett weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to confess. “Okay, I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!”
