Jasper and Alyssa were utterly shocked. They helped rissa up from the ground immediately.


    "Please get up, Ms. Sparks! Don''t do this!"


    As rissa''s older brother, Hendrix''s heart ached for her. He, too, tried to help her up.


    "Ms. Alyssa... Thank you... Thank you very much..."


    rissa''s voice was breaking from all that crying. She spoke incoherently. "The favor that you''ve done


    for my father. I will pay you back with my life."


    Alyssa shook her head gently. "You don''t have to pay anything back to me. I just hope that you can free


    yourself from Josh and the Schmidts. That is the oue that I wish for the most."


    Oscar was transferred to the VIP ward for observation.


    In the lounge next door, the Sparks siblings sat across from Jasper and Alyssa.


    rissa had her eyes lowered as she rolled up her sleeve with her shaking hands.


    When Hendrix saw the scars that covered her arms, he lost it. He enveloped rissa in his arms and


    started crying his eyes out.


    "It''s alright, Hendrix. It''s all over," rissa consoled him with a rxed smile on her face.


    Now that Oscar''s surgery was sessful, she had nothing else to worry about. She had decided to


    give her all. She was choosing to walk out of darkness and into the light.


    rissa took out a brown envelope and put it on the table. "This envelope contains some evidence that


    I have gathered. It includes evidence of Josh embezzling the corporation''s funds, giving and receiving


    bribes, and him using the Bright Schrship Foundation under the Schmidt Group tounder money."


    Hendrix looked serious and furious at the same time. "I can testify that during my time working at


    Schmidt Group''s legal department, Josh asked me to go through loopholes in thew to embezzle


    funds for his own profit. This happened more than once.


    "I can''t believe that he even abused rissa. I don''t care if I end up being imprisoned or losing my


    reputation. I will stand up and testify against him! I have to avenge rissa!"


    "Hendrix." rissa choked on her tears. She felt terrible.


    Nheless, she was well aware that the Sparks and the Schmidts were inws. It was inevitable that


    both parties would end up hurt through this dreadful fight.


    Jasper and Alyssa focused their attention on going through all the evidence. With serious looks on their


    faces, they looked very much like one another. They were even in sync when it came to turning pages.


    "Actually, Josh even has attempted murder."


    Jasper and Alyssa asked in surprise, "Who did he try to murder?


    "Previously, David was suspected of sexually assaulting minors. One of the victims, Maggie Madison,


    intended to step forward to testify against David.


    "At the time, Josh had a motive to protect David. So, he seized the opportunity to bribe one of David''s


    subordinates when he was being detained and tried to get rid of Maggie.


    "At that time, he wasn''t doing so to help his brother. Instead, he was just trying to win brownie points


    with Victor. He chose to use David''s subordinate because if this was revealed, he could then push the


    me to David while he leaves unscathed."


    When the incident happened, Alyssa and Jasper had considered this possibility. Yet, when they heard


    rissa''s exnation in person, they still reacted with staggered expressions. They felt perturbed.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    rissa shook her head regretfully and helplessly. She sobbed, "During that time, I was right by Josh''s


    side. I listened to him as he tantly came up with a n to murder that innocent woman. But I was


    completely incapable of stopping him.


    "Even when I asked him more about it, he would beat me up..."


    "Don''t me yourself, Ms. Sparks."


    Alyssa held her hand tightly. She didn''t me her at all. "Maggie was a victim, and so were you. You


    were living in darkness. You have given your all to protect yourself and your family. You''ve really done


    your best. If I were you, I would''ve probably crumbled long ago."


    "It was a pity that I didn''t record what he said at the time." rissa was filled with regret.


    "Even if you had recorded it, it wouldn''t be of much use."


    Jasper put down the documents in his hand. His eyes were glum as he shared his analysis calmly.


    "Firstly, a recording taken without consent cannot be presented as evidence in court.


    "Secondly, Maggie didn''t die, and she is now safe and sound. That means that Josh could even strike


    back by suing you for false usations and defamation.


    "There''s another problem, which is the evidence of his crimes. To the scion of Schmidt Group, one of


    the four wealthiest corporations, these are not impactful enough to go against him.


    "Josh is Victor''s eldest son. Although Victor''s eyes are on Jameson now, he will not give up on him that


    easily. No matter what happens, he will do all he can to cover for him.


    "Using what we have on hand can result in him being sentenced, but it''s highly probable that it would


    just be done as a formality. Once they get an A-ss team of attorneys to take his case, I reckon that


    he''ll get a maximum of two years before he ends up being released."
