Chapter 293
“What?” Paris was utterly baffled.
As Mr. Clement rose to leave, Quincy and Nina had already arrived outside the door with a swarm of bodyguards and police officers.
Paris’s face turned as white as a sheet. “Nina, are you setting me up?”
Nina smirked coldly, “I’m not setting you up. You’re the one who’s showing your true colors.”
Mr. Clement and Serene were her main suspects. She had planned to bait them out, but before she could act, Paris approached after overhearing her conversation with Quincy. Nina had been cautious, hoping it would lead to Paris.
If Paris was involved, that would be perfect. She could follow the trail back to Paris.
If Paris wasn’t involved, then it would be Paris trying to steal her credit, in which case she would have to apologize later.
But who would’ve guessed that the truth would come out so soon?
Indeed, people were greedy and would easily lose their composure.
And just like that, both Paris and Mr. Clement were escorted away by the police.
With the recording and things having progressed this far, Paris was the first to confess, “Mr. Clement approached me first, saying that if I followed his instructions, I could push Nina out. Then, I would become the top female secretary at York Corporation.
“I followed his instructions, falsifying some contracts. As for the drug smuggling, I had nothing to do with it. That must have been Mr. Clement’s doing. Except for my dislike of Nina and my desire to gain Mr. York’s approval, I wouldn’t dare to do anything else!”
Her plea fell on deaf ears with the police.
Mr. Clement, on the other hand, remained stubbornly silent until he saw Mr. York.
He slammed his hands on the table, “Mr. York, don’t get too cocky! You’re only able to turn the tables because you have a loyal lapdog by your side. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to make a comeback this time!”
A loud thud echoed as Mr. York kicked Mr. Clement out. He strode boldly, his face darkened like a demon’s, and approached Mr. Clement.
The next moment, he forcefully stomped on Mr. Clement’s back. “Mr. Clement, you’ve been with York Corporation for quite some time. You should understand that I, Nash Ford, never forget a grudge and always protect my own.”
“Ahh!” A piercing scream echoed from the interrogation room.
In less than a minute, Mr. Clement was already covered in blood with his front teeth knocked out.
No one dared to intervene because they knew about the collusion between these two. Following their investigation, including their communications, Quincy quickly gathered all the evidence against Mr. Clement.
Mr. Clement was charged accordingly, while Mr. York was cleared of all charges.
The families of the deceased workers in the eastern part of the city, upon receiving substantial compensation, chose to settle peacefully.
At that time, local news in the capital reported Mr. Clement’s crimes.
Nina breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news report.
Her colleagues outside also quickly started discussing.
“That saying ‘the innocent have nothing to fear’ really holds true. I thought Mr. York would end up in jail, but look at this! He turned the tables so quickly!”
“You thought Mr. York would end up in jail, yet you’re talking about innocence? Isn’t that contradictory?”
“In cases like this, investigations usually take longer. And when something goes wrong below, the boss has to take responsibility!”
“Ugh! What a mess Paris made, harming herself in the process.”
“This time, it was Secretary Nina’s strategy. She exposed Paris first, then dragged out Mr. Clement. Secretary Nina is really clever!”
“Of course, she’s been by Mr. York’s side for seven years, how could she not be smart?”
“Mr. York, Mr. York.” Someone among them shouted, and then the voices outside ceased. Soon, footsteps approached from afar.
Then, Nina saw Mr. York walking in from outside, his clear eyes dark and profound.
