Chapter: 6456

As soon as Jimmy speaks up, no one dares to do anything to him.

Jimmy nodded and picked up the microphone, opening his mouth to say, "Since everyone's so united, I'll tell you all what I know. First of all, including myself, all high-level partners have enough evidence to be sent to prison, which is in Knight's and the board's hands!"

Everyone's expression became even more tense at this.

Knight saw that things had reached this point and hastily explained, "Don't let Jimmy mislead you. I acknowledge that for the stability of our team and company business, I have indeed taken some extraordinary measures to prevent this, but these secrets will not be used unless absolutely necessary, nor will I use them to attack you all..."

Jimmy sneered, "Don't harbor illusions about Knight. Although he hasn't exposed your evidence yet, once it becomes necessary, he'll hesitate to betray you all!"

He added, "Just two days ago, I had a minor misunderstanding with Mr. Rothschild in Jinling, and Knight knew about it afterward. If not for me patching things up with him, I might have already been arrested by the FBI and thrown into prison!"

This time, it's considered a thorough detonation of gunpowder. All high-level partners present had one thing to grasp in Knight's hands - massive evidence - and almost all were targets worth hundreds of millions of US dollars. As long as the matter was exposed, either they would be imprisoned or face huge compensation.

The scene inside was filled with curses directed at Knight, prompting him to give everyone a reasonable explanation.

Even some high-level partners who had been stirred up by emotions wanted to rush over and take a swing at Knight.

Knight himself was worried and scared. He thought he could buy Jimmy's favor and borrow his influence to mend ties with Steve, but little did he know that he had fallen into Jimmy's trap. Now the situation was completely out of control, and if things got physical, he wouldn't be able to hold up.

In a step back, even if he didn't want to get involved in a fight, these people would still find him accountable - how could he explain?

Jimmy saw Knight looking worried, with a bad temper brewing inside. This was compounded by his previous experience in the Chinese market, which had eased off slightly.

Seeing everyone surrounding Knight wanting an explanation, Jimmy slipped the microphone into Knight's hand and spoke calmly: "Come on, Knight! Since everyone wants you to give an explanation, why not just do it right here, right now?"

Knight wiped away a cold sweat and nervously said: "I... I apologize first... This matter is indeed... indeed my fault. But I also had no choice... The industry competition was always very intense. You all are pillars of the law firm, even if you don't earn the most, but you produce the most. As soon as someone jumps ship or leaves to start their own business, it's a huge loss for the law firm..."

As he spoke, Knight looked slightly resentful and said: "Actually... actually, as long as everyone can just work quietly at Ellis Law Firm, I would never do anything that threatens anyone's personal safety or career prospects..."

Eric coldly said: "Stop pretending and be real, Jimmy's situation has become a typical example, hasn't it? He just got into trouble in China and you sold him out!"

Knight looked down with a mournful expression: "It's because he offended Mr. Rothschild..."

Steve heard this and raised an eyebrow at Knight, who quickly shut his mouth, looking dejected like a wronged woman.

Eric continued to press: "Knight, I don't want to argue about who's right or wrong between you and Jimmy. I just want to know what kind of solution you're prepared to offer us regarding the plot we've been set up with?"

Knight hastily raised his right hand, speaking solemnly: "I swear on my honor that these things never happened, and I will not use them to extort any of you again."

Jimmy spoke down his nose: "You're saying it didn't happen? That's simple, but who knows when we might offend you or affect your interests, and then you'll bring out all this evidence to kill us?"

"One person shouted: "According to me, the best solution is for the law firm to issue a statement, stating that all our illegal operations were approved by the law firm. The law firm will give up its right to pursue legal responsibility!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone was suddenly enlightened and began to nod in agreement: "That's it! This method is best! Get us to sign this statement and then have it notarized by the Department of Justice! Once it has legal effect, we can terminate our employment contract with Ellis and never bother each other again!"

Others also quickly raised their hands to show approval.

At present, they are most afraid that these evidence will be used by Knight to sue themselves. If Knight, representing the law firm, gives up this right, then there will be no legal risk whatsoever, even if the FBI comes to investigate, because it is allowed by the company. JrNovels.com
