"But didn't you just say …" Feng Bujue asked again, "'Although Miller knew a lot of John's crimes, neither of them were the kind of people who would leave evidence behind. Besides, Miller himself was also John's accomplice in many of his crimes. So, even if Miller wanted to blackmail John, he couldn't find a way to do so. '"
The despicable Feng Bujue repeated the words that Zuo Yan had said two chapters ago almost word for word, and he added a line of despicable words to it.
Of course, I also know that when you read this section, you may think that the despicable author made an evaluation of Feng Bujue's words in the previous line, so he despicably added another line.
Then, I ridiculed myself and added another line.
Then, I complained about how I complained about myself. What the heck …
Well, before you start to suspect that this chapter is all about the same thing, let's stop this meaningless cycle. Put down your middle fingers, and I'll get back to the topic … "
"Also, in the years after Miller was fired by John, he was reduced to the point of being a pickpocket, but I didn't see him blackmailing John." Feng Bujue paused for a second and added to his question, "Then … why did he suddenly pick up this' blackmail 'plan three years ago?"
"Because …" Zuo Yan replied, "By chance, he discovered a … big secret about John."
When he finished, he looked at John.
John, who had been listening for a long time, had basically settled the score in his heart. He took the opportunity to say, "Well … I admit that I'm not related to Old Herbert by blood."
After all, John was a shrewd person. He knew that … at this point, this matter was destined to be exposed. As long as someone compared his DNA with Old Herbert's, the result would be clear.
So, he chose to explain himself to gain the initiative, "Three years ago, Miller, that rascal, came to me in a desperate situation, hoping that I could give him another job." When John said this, a look of disdain appeared on his face, "And … of course, I rejected his ridiculous request …"
"And I humiliated him in public," Zuo Yan interrupted.
"Well … that depends on how you interpret the word 'humiliated.' I think … based on the atmosphere of the conversation at that time, I was being very polite by calling the security guard to 'escort' him out." John was undoubtedly good at talking. As a successful businessman, it was not surprising that he had the gift of the gab. "But the rascal didn't give up. He flew into a rage out of humiliation … That night, he went to the cemetery in the suburbs and dug up my mother's grave."
"Oh?" When Feng Bujue heard this, his eyes lit up, "Miller … wanted to use his actions to tell you — f * ck your mother?"
His question silenced the entire room for a full thirty seconds …
"My mother passed away when I was twelve years old. Her photo is still on my desk to this day …" Half a minute later, John decided to ignore Brother Jue's words and continued, "She was Old Herbert's first wife. When Old Herbert became rich, my mother became … in Chinese terms, a wife who went through thick and thin. Like most men, after Old Herbert became rich, he neglected my mother and turned his attention to some younger and more beautiful women … Sam's mother was one of them. "
"You better watch your f * cking mouth." Sam, who had been silent for a long time, finally said something, and it was a curse that asked others to watch their words.
"A few years later, my mother also had an extramarital affair and became pregnant with me." John ignored Sam's words and continued, "I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but when my mother confirmed her pregnancy, Old Herbert didn't realize that I wasn't his child. After I was born, my mother wanted me to grow up in a better environment, so she broke off her relationship with my biological father and preserved my identity as the eldest son of the Herbert family.
"Eleven years later, my mother passed away. A few days before she died, she called me to her bedside and told me … I wasn't Old Herbert's biological son, but she didn't say my biological father's name until she died.
"Less than two weeks after her death, Old Herbert couldn't wait to marry his second wife … She was Sam's mother. At the same time, he also brought Sam, who was almost three years old at the time, back home. Just like that, I had a younger brother.
"There's nothing much to say about what happened after that. The key is that night three years ago …
"That son of a bitch, Miller, also knew that he couldn't do anything to me, but he obviously couldn't take it lying down. I guess he thought about it for a long time and finally remembered that he always saw my mother's picture on my desk. So, he thought of taking revenge on me by destroying my mother's grave."
"I didn't expect that Miller would unearth the truth that should have been buried with your mother forever …" Zuo Yan continued.
"Sigh …" John sighed. "When my mother was buried, other than the clothes on her body, there was also a necklace. I saw that necklace when I was young, and it had a picture of me inside. Later, I found out that there was another layer inside the necklace, and there was something else inside. "
"Oh … Oh …" Feng Bujue looked like he was watching an eight o 'clock show. "Let me guess … Is it something related to your biological father?"
"I don't know what's inside, because it was always in Miller's hands, and he didn't tell me any details," John replied. "I can only speculate that the rascal found the necklace after opening the coffin, so he wanted to steal it and exchange it for some money. Then, he accidentally found the interlayer and saw what was inside. That's how he found out about my family background …"
"Well, your speculation is mostly correct." Zuo Yan continued, "Although Miller helped you when you forged the will, he was also involved in the case at that time. Plus, you were very cautious, so he didn't leave any evidence in his possession. Even if Miller wanted to blackmail you by 'turning himself in to the police,' you wouldn't be afraid of him. As long as you hired a good lawyer, it would be easy for you to pin a false accusation on someone like Miller, who had been kicked out of the house for misappropriating public funds and only had testimony but no evidence.
"However, when Miller found the necklace, the situation was completely different …"
"Mr. Zuo Yan," John said. John's train of thought was also very clear. He was not led by the other party's logic. "I only admitted that I was blackmailed by Miller because of my identity, but I never admitted that I forged the will. Please remember, that's all your speculation … There's no proof so far."
