Chapter: 6454

Nate was taken aback, never expecting that the always polite and flattering Jimmy would suddenly turn against him, especially in front of Steve Rothschild, making him furious and immediately questioning: "Jimmy, what do you mean? I've treated you so well just two days ago, and you're calling me a scoundrel?"

Jimmy mocked: "I'm saying you are a scoundrel, which is some slight insult to the term! Do you really think you can buy me off with money?"

Nate suddenly realized that Jimmy was plotting against him, thinking to himself: "Oh no! This scoundrel Jimmy must be holding onto evidence of my setup and crimes. I thought I could buy him off with money and get him on my side, but it seems his appetite can't be satisfied so easily."

He quickly turned to Jimmy and laughed: "Hey Jimmy, I know you're still harboring some resentment about the past, but honestly, I've treated you well too. What's going on that you're turning against me like this?"

Jimmy sneered coldly: "I'm doing it because I want more people to see your true face!"

As he spoke, he turned his attention to the bewildered high-ranking partners and loudly declared: "Gentlemen, there's something I've never told anyone - Nate Ellis is a scoundrel. He set me up during our work together, inducing me to commit a classic financial crime. But I kept it hidden for a long time until recently when I found out that he was trying to get my criminal evidence as leverage against me."

Nate was shocked and his whole body broke out in cold sweat. He quickly grabbed Jimmy's arm and whispered pleadingly: "Jimmy, if you think the compensation I offered isn't enough, you can speak up, and I'll fight for more benefits for you. But please don't reveal my secrets and ruin me like this!"

Jimmy contemptuously replied: "What secrets will I reveal? Even if I do, you'll still give me a good deal, and as soon as I take it, you'll owe me ten years' worth!"

Having said that, he looked at the others and continued: "Gentlemen, each of you should have some understanding of financial crimes. This is something I'm sure you all know, and I can confirm - Nate Ellis has evidence of all your past financial crimes;"

"He values you because of this evidence, which he'll use as leverage against you in the future or as a ticking time bomb hidden beside you;"

"If you're worthless to him, he'll directly use this evidence to send you to prison and ruin the rest of your life!"

Nate quickly protested: "Don't believe Jimmy's words! This guy is just a wolf in sheep's clothing who seeks revenge. Before I left, I signed a new option agreement with him, committing to pay him at least $10 million per year. But now he's turning against me like this, accusing me of all sorts of things, even though I'm still a human being."

"Jimmy sneered and looked at someone in the room, saying, 'Erick, two years ago you secretly handled a divorce case for a well-known golfer, helping his wife take away seven million dollars' assets from him. You took away seven hundred thousand dollars for yourself. According to your agreement with the company, you have already breached the non-compete clause if you didn't get permission from the company and privately accepted legal-related businesses. According to regulations, you need to compensate the company ten times your income, which means that if the company sues you, you'll face a huge fine of seven million dollars. Do you think about this in your heart?'"

"He who was called Erick suddenly turned pale with fright."

"The one he privately handled the case for wasn't a client of Ellis Law, but rather a friend's introduction, and the other party directly approached him."

"Although he thought his actions were seamless, he didn't expect Jimmy to accurately reveal the entire case's target amount and the other party's identity, which was enough to prove that he had already grasped the key evidence of breaching the non-compete clause."

"But he didn't dare admit it in front of his boss, so he could only pretend to be stupid and say, 'Jimmy, what are you talking about? I don't understand.'"

"Jimmy sneered and said, 'You still think this secret is only known to me? I'll tell you, this secret is something Nate told me, that client who sued you was actually introduced by him behind the scenes. His purpose was to grasp all the evidence of your breach of agreement, and since you earned seven hundred thousand dollars, he at least caught you in a seven million dollar trap. If you want to jump ship or start your own business in the future, he'll use these evidence to ruin you, and eventually, you'll have to pay him back with interest for all the money you've earned over the years.'"

"The person listening to this was frozen in an instant, and others were terrified by it. They could see from Erick's expression that Jimmy's words weren't just empty talk, which meant that Erick had indeed done something like that."

"If Jimmy's claims about Nate are true, then Nate's methods would be too ruthless by far!"

"Nate was already completely flustered, looked at Jimmy and whispered, 'Jimmy, what do you want to do? Kill me off? What's the benefit for you?'"

"Jimmy coldly smiled and said, 'Nate, don't worry, I won't kill you off. Don't forget that we just signed a ten-year contract, and in the next ten years, I'm counting on you to take care of me, no one is more anxious than me for you to live well.'"

"Nate's eyes widened in cold sweat as he was taken aback by Jimmy's words. He suddenly realized the benefits and drawbacks involved."

"He cursed himself inwardly, 'No wonder Jimmy was so quick to sign a ten-year contract! It turns out he's got me wrapped around his finger!'"

"Furious, Nate glared at Jimmy with a deadly gaze, gritting his teeth as he asked, 'Jimmy, what do you gain from this? If your actions affect the firm's profits and revenues, won't that also impact your own income? Are you willing to cut off one arm to save my leg?'" JrNovels.com
