Chapter 218 Revelations
Brandon insisted on not admitting anything, and he targeted Alex.
He clapped his hands, the office door opened, and Secretary Gerald came in with a box in his hand. He put the box on the table and walked up to Brandon.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Brandon, you must regret not killing me that day, right?"
Brandon looked pale and said reluctantly. "What do you mean? I cannot understand"
He watched the dying enemy helplessly. Gerald passed by and said. "I think Mr. Brandon knows better than me about how the billboard fell off. If you hadn't pushed me to the right place, I wouldn't have been hurt."
"What are you talking about? Don't spray people with blood, you don't even remember the day of the accident, don't listen to other people's made-up lies. Brandon went to a foreign hospital where Gerald has been treated. The attending doctor confirmed that Gerald did lose his memory.
"Unfortunately, I have never lost my memory." Gerald clearly saw the ripples of panic in Brandon's eyes. "You have a lot of confidence in yourself, so you lose your guard against people like me who have no memory. This is good for the investigation and I must thank you very much." Gerald said.
Brandon clenched his fist after the sarcasm, and he closed his lips and refused to admit or say anything.
Alex, who had been silent, pushed the box forward. Secretary Gerald opened the lid and took out the phone inside.
"Tell others that you played tricks with billboards at the party."
Secretary Gerald opened his cell phone and played a piece of audio, which was the voice of Brandon.
"Do you have anything to say? Don't tell me you don't recognize your voice."
The evidence was clear, Brandon did not refute and he said forcefully. "Yeah, I did it. But I just wanted to teach you a little lesson so that you won't make a fuss in front of me. I didn't think the consequences will make him like that."
Brandon bowed his head and politely said, "I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to you. Now that you're safe and sound, I won't be held accountable, right? Anyway, this is a familiar place and we have known each other for a long time."
For the first time, Alex and Gerald saw that a person could be so thick-skinned, especially Alex, who was shocked by the behavior of his friend. He gave the signal and Secretary Gerald immediately took out a USB, plugged it into the computer and turned on the projector.
The video showed Brandon entering an intensive care unit a year ago. The second half of the video showed Elly in the ward before he left a year ago.
Elly was suffering from a mild depression and Alex was worried that her behavior would harm her, so he put a camera in the room. Although after she left, the video was deleted and he would not find the reason until now.
At present, Brandon's video has interrupted the repair and restoration of the relationship between Elly and Alex. The words uttered were conclusive evidence.
No one could enter the intensive care unit. He was the last one who entered that room. As soon as he left, nurses and doctors appeared, and John was confirmed dead. Gerald explained it with the hatred on his face.
Alex replied, his voice was cold. "My friend you became cruel in order to achieve your goal."
Alex showed his resentment for the first time. "If you hadn't deliberately fabricated things, Elly would not have left suddenly without news. Because of you, Elly lived in hatred for a year, she hated me, we missed too many things for a long time. It turned out that it's all because of the friend I've always trusted."
"Yes, I did it on purpose. I want her to hate you." Brandon had no repentance on his face and his voice was confident in his opinion of himself. "Well, you can give up the interests of the company for her sake. A useless woman who is always holding you back is not worth standing next to you."
Gerald was filming the video and laughed at Brandon's shameless words. Even Alex was disappointed by Brandon's foolish argument.
Alex gave an order to Secretary Gerald. "You go out first."
"But, boss."
"It doesn't matter. I can handle this myself."
Secretary Gerald was afraid to leave the office and stood outside the door, waiting. He was afraid that if a person was pushed to the limit, he might turn around and bite, and he was afraid that Brandon would hurt Alex.
Alex suddenly stood up and that action made Brandon's body tense up. He went to the window and the glass stretched from the ceiling to the floor. He looked at the cars outside and muttered to himself.
"Brandon, I have always regarded you as a good brother, so I was very grateful to you. Since I knew you wanted revenge, I was willing to support you, took you to the work column and trusted your important position. I didn't expect you to repay me with such cruel means."
Without taking his eyes away from the scene under the building, Alex tapped his fingers on the glass like the beating of Brandon's nervous heart.
"You leaked the company's deals and offers. You sold the new product concept that the company intended to put on the market to other companies. You tampered with the contracts withdrawn by the partners. You're a spy from the Torch team, am I right?"
Alex' voice was absolutely sure that all the traps he has prepared were just waiting for the prey to be caught. He was trying to tempt Brandon to take a good bite of bait.
At this point, Brandon neither denied the accusations nor did he feel guilty. He knew that Alex had enough evidence to make it impossible for him to deny the crime.
"Yes, I admit, I did all this."
"I was just for your confession."
When they finished talking, the office door opened and Secretary Gerald together with the police came in and Brandon stood up in silence.
"All the evidence is here, comrades, you can take him."
Brandon was taken away by the police before he could regain his spirits.
The room soon returned its calmness, the keen eagle eye no longer seemed ferocious and determined. Alex felt sad about the result of his friendship with Brandon. They have been good friends for many years. He always gave in to Brandon and gave him a chance to turn around and change himself, but he never stopped. The next thing he did was even more cruel than before. The result of this day was brought to himself as a result of his greediness.
Secretary Gerald patted Alex on the shoulder. "Some people are not worthy of your trust."
In the design studio, Elly knew that all of Hargreaves' recent problems had been created by the Torch Group and she was very shocked when she discovered it. It made her numb all morning. She never thought that Aron wanted to frame Alex and tried to seize the contracts and projects of the Alex' company.
Later that afternoon, Elly stood at the gate of the Torch group, but she was stopped by security guards.
"I'm sorry, You're not an employee of the company. You're not allowed to go inside."
Elly smiled sarcastically. She didn't believe that the guard could not remember her face. She dialed Aron's number on the phone, her voice was very calm. "I'm in front of your company and the security guard won't let me in."
However, Aron's answer was a cold one. "Then, go home."
Elly stood in the same place in surprise. She did not expect that one day, her relationship with Aron would turn into this.
She called him again twice and he hang up all of her calls. It indicated that Aron did not want to see her.
The security guard witnessed everything and politely advised the kind-hearted person he personally knew. "I think you should stop wasting your time here and leave."
