Chapter: 6436
Just then, Steve's phone rang. It was the family butler calling.
He immediately answered the phone, and the butler on the other end spoke respectfully, saying, "Young master, I've already spoken with Mr. Ellis' boss, who says he will fire Jimmy Smith immediately and have him banned from practicing law in the entire United States, making it so that he can't even become a lawyer again after being released on parole at age 75."
Steve asked, "Is there anything else?"
The butler replied, "Mr. Ellis' boss just sent me some documents. These are all evidence of Jimmy Smith's involvement in economic crimes. If needed, I can send the materials to the FBI right away. He says that at least he'll be able to make Jimmy Smith serve his sentence until age 75."
"Good!" Steve said with satisfaction. "Just do that! Hand over all the files to the FBI's person in charge, and tell her to say it was my idea. I want this guy to personally oversee this matter, making sure he can't return to the United States."
Butler immediately said, "Okay, young master, I'll take care of it right away."
Steve hung up the phone and looked at Jimmy with a sneer, saying, "From now on you're going to be a wanted person by the FBI. If you go back to the United States, you'll be arrested as soon as you step off the plane and will have to serve at least 20-30 years in prison, so I'm advising you not to go back and instead find work in Jinling. After all, there is no extradition agreement between China and the US, and as long as you haven't been deported, you don't need to worry about going back to jail."
Jimmy's eyes welled up with tears at once, his legs weakened and he fell to the ground begging, "Mr. Rothschild, please let me off, you can scold me all you want, just please don't give the files to the FBI, that would be the end of my life!"
Steve shrugged his shoulders in disdain, laughing, "That's exactly what I want! You won't be complete until then! Where will I put my face?"
Jimmy saw Steve completely disregarding him and quickly looked at Meihua on one side, crying and begging, "Sister-in-law, please help me say something, sister-in-law."
Meihua was still somewhat taken aback by Jimmy's sudden appeal to her for help. She didn't know what to do, only awkwardly saying, "Jimmy, I don't recognize this Mr. Rothschild, you two have some kind of conflict that I'm not familiar with...".
Facing Jimmy's plea, Paul was taken aback for a moment, and beside him, Pablo seemed to be moved with compassion. He turned to Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, although my uncle may have some minor flaws, he is ultimately my father's younger brother. Please consider his true remorse and give him a chance to reform."
When Paul opened his mouth to plead with Ye Chen at this moment, Jimmy was still trying to figure things out in his mind. He thought to himself, "Paul, you're my good nephew. If you really want to help me, why don't you go ask the old man instead of seeking someone else's help? After all, he and Mr. Rothschild are friends, so it would be more effective to seek his help."
Ye Chen curiously asked Paul at this time, "He wants to snatch your father and mother's inheritance, and then you'll have to beg for him?"
Paul smiled awkwardly and said, "I know my uncle well. He came all the way from America because he had no legitimate or legal means of obtaining what he wanted. He tried to take away our shares in Smith Law Firm through me and my mother, otherwise, he would have already sued us in America. Today's actions may be somewhat underhanded, but they are ultimately just a desperate attempt to try his luck."
Jimmy was unaware that his nephew had already exposed all his cards, looking embarrassed and helpless. He said, "Paul, you're right... I'm just mentally unbalanced, wanting to take advantage of this happy occasion to cause trouble. As long as everyone can spare me this time, I promise not to bother you again in the future!"
As he spoke, Jimmy wiped away his tears, looking utterly defeated and saying, "And besides, I've already paid the price for my foolish behavior. I didn't think my boss would deliberately dig a hole just to use it against me if he blacklisted me. If that happens, I'll be out of work forever, possibly even in this lifetime. That's why I'm willing to do anything to get ahead, including putting up with your high-handedness, because I have a wife and children..."
Paul Mei saw him acknowledge his mistake and pay the price, so he turned to Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen... let's just forget about it, okay? Please tell Mr. Rothschild to give Jimmy a way out."
Steve was worried that Ye Chen would actually give Jimmy a chance to redeem himself, quickly saying, "Mr. Ye, you're dealing with a despicable person who deserves no pity. We must immediately eliminate him, or else he'll just forget about his mistakes after sleeping on it and come back to cause trouble tomorrow. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."
Steve had been miserable in Nanjing for so long that he finally found someone to vent to, but this was only half-way, so he must have felt even more frustrated inside.
Jimmy's face turned white with shock, and he didn't dare ask Steve for help, but as he thought about Paul and Mei's earlier attempts to plead with Ye Chen, as well as Steve Rothschild's respectful attitude towards him, suddenly realized that Ye Chen was the real key behind all this.
Steve looked at Ye Chen, crying and saying, "Mr. Ye, my sister-in-law and nephew don't even recognize me anymore, please ask Mr. Rothschild to have mercy on me, I promise not to cause any more trouble in the future! If I break my word, you can send me back to prison anytime!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, saying, "You see, Mr. Rothschild also said that, and there's no extradition agreement between China and the US. You can live in China without any issues."
Jimmy was in a state of panic, saying, "I'm just on a temporary visa... I can only stay in China for 144 hours, if I don't leave within that time, I'll be considered an illegal overstayer..."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a place where you can settle down comfortably. You can stay as long as you like." JrNovels.com
