Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy exchanged shocked glances.
"Did Avery do it himself?"
Evadne's gaze was fiery and intense. "That man is cunning and malicious. It's very likely he's monitoring himself and everything that happens in the office as well. This way, if he ever catches any of the senior executives in a compromising position, he can use it to blackmail them. It's a tactic that has never failed him."
"Hmm, I'm not so sure," Arnold replied, taking a deep breath, his eyes sharp. "I took the camera back and immediately reviewed the footage inside. Guess what I found?"
Evadne was on edge. "Oh, come on Arnold, stop beating around the bush and spill it!"
"It recorded everything that happened in the office that day, the intense argument between Jeff Chambers and his son, their confrontation, and Avery coldly watching his father collapse, yet he took away his life-saving medication without helping him!"
Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy gasped, "What?!"
Arnold pulled out his smartphone, opened a video, and placed it in front of them.
The video captured the entire ordeal: the power struggle within the Chambers family, the standoff, and Avery's ruthless act as his father lay dying at his feet. The hidden camera also clearly recorded Avery's damning words, undeniable evidence of his guilt:
— "Now, you have only one choice. Draft a formal resignation due to health reasons and retire immediately, letting me take over as the chairman of Chambers Group."
— "If you don't agree, I'll play this video on the big screens outside the Chambers Group building. Not only that, but every one of the tens of thousands of employees at Chambers Group will receive this video by tomorrow morning."
