Chapter: 6459
However, the one everyone was paying attention to, Steve, seemed to have no intention of standing up and making a statement at this moment.
He saw both sides staring quietly at him and understood what Leaf had just said.
If he directly stood up in support of Jimmy, today's situation would be out of control. Knight's authority and threat in front of these people would be swept away. These people would leave Ellis Law Firm immediately and then head to the next station with great speed, without looking back. That way, they would almost certainly not serve Leaf in China.
So, these people still needed Knight to constrain and balance them.
Since that's the case, he absolutely couldn't directly stand up for Jimmy.
Therefore, the scene quickly became stuck as Leaf had said.
Jimmy finished his grand speech, Knight didn't respond, and those high-level partners standing behind Jimmy one by one hesitated and dared not make a statement. The scene suddenly fell silent, with even some awkwardness.
Since Leaf was nearly transparent to these people, he stood quietly watching each person's facial expression change on the side.
As this awkward situation continued for a longer time, the expressions of those people behind Jimmy became increasingly tense and anxious, while Knight on the opposite side seemed more and more relaxed.
This is because Knight was very clear that Steve had sufficient power and resources to directly take a stand, making himself have to give in, and he certainly had no possibility of resistance.
But the key is that Steve has not spoken up yet.
This proves that Steve does not want to do so.
This situation is naturally beneficial for him.
At this time, those colleagues behind Jimmy were already getting restless, with someone whispering quietly into Jimmy's ear, "Jimmy, you're more familiar with Mr. Rockefeller, can't he help us say something? Our future depends entirely on him..."
Jimmy was well aware of Steve's actions and knew that everyone treated Leaf as transparent. He knew everything was under Leaf's control, including when to intervene, how to intervene, and what kind of plan to present. These questions were undoubtedly following Leaf's instructions.
So he replied quietly, "Mr. Steve was only willing to help me resolve this problem before, so I don't know if he would be willing to help everyone resolve the issue, after all, he doesn't owe us anything."
When the person heard these words, they became even more anxious inside.
At worst, if Steve was only willing to help Jimmy, then everyone else's future would basically be ruined.
Just at this moment, Leaf gave Steve a look, and Steve understood the implication, opening his mouth to say, "Everyone, you've been arguing for so long. Why don't I just offer a fair word?"
As soon as Steve started intervening, people's hearts suddenly lit up with hope, while Knight looked on nervously, fearing that he would actually stand up for these people.
Steve said at this moment, "I've got some understanding of your situation. From my perspective, each and every one of you has a problem."
He then glanced over at Jimmy behind him and spoke seriously, "Objectively speaking, your problems are even bigger!"
When people heard this, their hearts sank immediately, and Knight's face was filled with surprise.
Steve continued, "You're blaming your boss for giving you a hole to dig into and setting traps for you. But have you considered if you had been faithful to one employee's duties, you would never have fallen into his trap."
As he spoke, Steve glanced at Leaf unconsciously before continuing, "There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A moth won't sting an unripe egg.' You're all a bunch of holes and weak points, and it's only natural for others to attack you. And don't forget, the mistakes you've made are not just moral issues; they also have legal implications."
