Be was lost for words.


    Justin facepalmed. "You''re a grown-up, Mr. Hoffman. Get a grip."


    After the call ended, Charles wet himself again.


    "Ha. There you have it. We have an eyewitness and evidence. Try and talk your way out with the police


    and my dad now."


    The stern look on Be''s face was chilling.


    Charles lost it.


    He came from power and wealth, so the police did not scare him. Wyatt was a different story, though.


    The Thompsons were long-time family friends of the Iversons, but Wyatt was protective and merciless


    when he wanted to be. Charles had heard stories about Wyatt from his father.


    With his deeds exposed and the evidence thrown at his face, Charles would face a more horrible fate


    than jail time when word got to Wyatt. It would be the end of a friendship between both families, and his


    father would likely disown him.


    Charles crawled to Be''s feet like a dog and pleaded in tears. "M-Ms. Thompson, please. I was


    foolish. I came up with the stupid idea because I was desperate to defeat Christopher. I was wrong. I


    admit I was wrong. Please. Our fathers have been best buddies for so long. Let''s just put this behind us


    this once."


    Be scoffed, unfazed by his crocodile tears. "You can reflect on your crimes behind bars.


    "But I think before you are sentenced, my brothers and Wyatt will have a word with you." In ast-ditch


    effort to save himself, Charles spilled the beans on the humiliating truth.


    "I-I didn''t vite Ms. Amelia. I-I... Couldn''t get it up...''


    Everybody was shocked.


    Amelia''s eyes widened while Steven held her cold hand.


    "I don''t know if it was the surgery or the drugs, but I don''t feel anything when I have Ms. Amelia to


    myself. Since my n didn''t work, I took off her clothes and made it look like we slept together."


    "Then, you''d have a reason to make Chairman Thompson marry Amelia to you." Justin''s eyes flickered


    harshly. "Do you think that it makes your sin any less? Even though you couldn''t carry out your n,


    you had every intention to hurt her."


    Be had operated on Charles before, so she knew Charles was likely telling the truth. She burst into


    laughter.


    "Haha! This is karma. That''s a worthy punishment. Even if you''re telling the truth, the damage has been


    done. You didn''t seed in going through the whole thing, but you have seen her body without her


    consent. If you want to atone for your sins, you can dig your eyes out. Then I''ll consider letting you go."


    Charles shuddered in fear.


    He was already a cripple. He did not want to be blind as well.


    Asher''s and Justin''s phones rang.


    The calls were from their fathers.


    Asher and Justin exchanged nces and took the calls.


    They were told the same thing. They were to return to the hall as the highlight of the event was about to


    happen.


    The Reeds were about to announce who they were going to partner with on the new project.


    "Be, you should head on with Justin."


    Asher looked askance at the human garbage on the floor. "Arnold and I will sort things out here. Just


    leave it to us, Amelia and Steve." "I''ll be right back, Ash."

    Be was about to leave when Amelia teared up and grabbed her arm. "Be, please. Don''t tell Dad


    about what happened to me." "Amelia, you..."


    Amelia shook, and tears streamed down her face. "Don''t tell Dad. He''s getting old, and his health isn''t


    great. I''m worried that—”


    "Rx. I know what to do."


    Be clutched her hand tearfully. "I''ll do anything to help you cut ties with the Iversonspletely."
