Chapter: 6455

"Jimmy smiled faintly and countered, 'We're signing a fixed-salary contract, regardless of how well the firm does. You have to pay me $14 million annually, so whether you make more or less money in the future, that portion of your income is always fixed. Given that, I certainly won't let you get away with it.'"

"Nate suddenly realized that Jimmy hadn't accepted his offer, but instead used an option to receive a cash dividend of $10 million per year."

"How stupid was he? He thought Jimmy was too narrow-minded and only cared about the present, but now it's clear that this guy had already made thorough preparations!"

"Nate glared at Jimmy with hatred, warning him, 'Jimmy, everything you just said is off limits. But I'm warning you, don't continue to cross me or reveal more secrets, or else I won't let you get away with it!'"

"Nate's heart was filled with clarity, and he knew that yesterday he had been duped by Jimmy and had handed over evidence of others' involvement as well."

"Jimmy had only just revealed one aspect, and if he chose to reveal everything, these people would turn against him and treat him as their greatest enemy."

"So, our top priority now is to keep Jimmy's mouth shut and prevent him from spreading negative influence."

At this moment, Steve looked at Nate with a cold tone and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, were you just threatening my friend?"

"What? Your friend?" Nate was taken aback before hastily saying, "Mr. Ross, you don't know the background here; he's been playing me along! I signed a 10-year agreement with him... 10 years ago!"

Steve spoke in a tone that was as flat as water, saying, "What kind of background could there be here that I wouldn't know? Isn't it just that you deliberately created opportunities for Jimmy and others to make mistakes, then use those mistakes to blackmail them? You're playing dirty yourself, so don't blame others for getting tough with you."

He glanced at Jimmy, speaking loudly, "Jimmy, since you already know a lot about our law firm's secrets and the core members are all here, why not tell everyone what you know and let people see the true face of Ellis Law Firm?"

"Okay!" Jimmy was waiting for his cue to strike, but when he saw Steve saying this, he immediately picked up the microphone on the conference table and prepared to speak.

Nate was shocked to the extreme, having never thought that his original plan to use these secrets and a 10-year agreement to keep Jimmy in line would backfire. Jimmy was about to expose him, revealing all those secrets, which could make these high-level partners hate him to the bone.

If they were to leave their law firm, what should he do? Expose their secrets and then arrest them all? That would certainly cause a shockwave throughout the American legal profession, making everyone avoid him. But if he just let them leave without saying anything, it would be a huge loss for the law firm."

However, if he directly allowed them to leave, everyone would keep their secrets and maintain confidentiality, which would also be a significant loss for the law firm."

To know, many tricks are actually set up by themselves and then handed over to them. It's like giving them money in exchange for their tricks, but if these tricks can't be used in the end, it's like throwing away money.

By that time, it would be a huge loss, not just financially but also personally. The entire Ellis law firm would lose its backbone and suffer greatly.

So he spoke to Jimmy with a pleading tone: "Jimmy, colleagues one after another, what's your grievance? Don't break the internal unity of the law firm..."

Before Jimmy could respond, Eric who had just been named by Jimmy loudly exclaimed: "Jimmy, if there are any secrets related to everyone, let them all come out together! If Nate really has our tricks, we must unite against him! Otherwise, once he takes us down one by one, we'll all be done for!"

Eric's emotions were a mix of anger and fear. Although Nate had manipulated himself, the mistake was still his own. This feeling is like when someone's wife finds another woman to seduce her husband, knowing that it will eventually lead to divorce. Although this approach is indeed very lowly, once the man gives in to temptation and has an affair with the other woman, it becomes a fact that can't be washed away.

So his thought was very simple: he could hear Nate's plan from Jimmy and Nate's conversation, Nate must not only have set a trap for himself but also possibly for other high-level partners who are unaware. Therefore, the best approach now is to let Jimmy reveal everything and form an alliance with everyone, so that they can jointly deal with Nate.

Although others had not spoken up yet, their hearts were all clear: since Nate could manipulate Eric, it's likely that none of the other high-level partners would be spared. They had all engaged in behaviors such as secretly dating or taking orders away from the company, and now they couldn't even confirm which ones were high-risk. Therefore, it was urgent to find out how much risk they were facing.

As a result, everyone started speaking up.

Some people said: "Jimmy, since we're all here, just go ahead and reveal what you know!"

"Right, Eric! You're right this time! We must stand together now!" JrNovels.com
