Leonardo had never seen Lester in person. Leonardo looked at the photo in his hands for a while, but was not sure if he was Lester.
Leonardo put down the photo solemnly and knocked on the table with his fingers.
Seeing this, Tim said, "Lester was besieged by Stanley and thrown into the sea. Lester's body was fished out by his subordinates and he was confirmed dead."
Tim couldn't understand why Lester who was dead suddenly came back to life.
Leonardo looked at Tim and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure that Lester was responsible for the recent incident?"
Tim explained after thinking, "There is no enough evidence so far to prove Lester was responsible for it. However, neither you nor Stanley made any actions. So only Lester could
do it."
"Perhaps..." Leonardo paused and said, "The one who died is not the real Lester."
"Mr. Emerson, do you mean ... Lester faked his death?" Tim was shocked.
Leonardo sneered, "Lester's death was reported globally with photos attached. Almost no one suspected that he faked his death."
Even Leonardo hadn't thought that Lester might fake his death.
Although Lester's death was all over the papers, Leonardo did not believe it at once and asked someone to confirm whether Lester was really dead.
Thinking about it carefully, Lester deemed that Leonardo's trick of deceiving Stanley to cooperate with him was so similar to Lester's, as they all relied on the media and public opinion to achieve their goals.
