Bethany's eyes instantly widened, but Andrew, who was sitting next to her was still nodding his head in agreement.
It did not take long until he finally realized what was truly happening. He stood up and looked at Clint in astonishment, "What are you talking about? Aunt Bethany is the Chairman of Valiant East! Weren't you going to tell us about Amos' misdemeanors?¹'
Clint looked at them innocently. "I wasn't!"
The rest of the shareholders didn't know what was going on. It was a little strange to see the confrontation between the two sides.
"What on earth is going on?"
Clint smiled and said, "It's exactly like what I've said earlier! If you don't believe me, you could ask Madam Hamilton about it."
The shareholders had initially supported Bethany because they were certain that she had the Old Master Granger's genuine will in her hand. They were also told that Amos was the one who caused Old Master Granger's sudden injury.
However, the truth seemed to point at the complete opposite. If Clint was telling the truth, it meant that Bethany was the true villain.
Everyone was at a loss and they did not know what to say.
Bethany was first to speak. She stood up and shouted, "You're slandering me!"
"That's right. Why would Aunt Bethany hurt anyone in the Granger family? She had devoted her whole life to the Granger family. You can't frame her like that! Clint, if you keep spouting nonsense like this, you will have to pay for it!"
Everyone turned their eyes toward Clint again. Clint smiled and said, "Well, I don't know if I would get retribution for this, but since I have already said it out loud, this shows that I'm not lying. Last night, I also received a large sum of money from Madam Hamilton!"
He took out his bank card and showed it to everyone in the room, "The evidence is here. You may ask the Finance Department to investigate this thoroughly."
Bethany's heart skipped a beat. She finally understood why Clint had asked her to turned the villas into cash.
At that time, she thought that he was just being greedy. Now, it seemed that he clearly wanted to keep the evidence. Had he accepted those villas, he would not be able to encash them in such a short time.
It was different for cash!
Andrew had obviously realized everything at this point, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A*shole."
Clint curved his lips and smiled. "Not as much as you are, Mr. Hamilton."
The shareholders clearly wanted to know what was going on, so they immediately called the Finance Department to check the card.
With the modern technology they had, the department figured out the amount of money and its source in no time. As expected, the money was from Bethany.
Andrew was still trying to cast the blame away, "That's because Clint wanted to sell us the secrets of the bad things that Amos had done."
Amos smiled. "It turns out that my private affairs are so valuable. What do you want to know? Why don’t you give me the money instead? I'll tell you everything."
Bethany gritted her teeth in anger. "Did... did you think that you would be able to ruin me just like that? Whatever you said was just your own thoughts. I'm telling you now that I have done none of those! Why would I have to do any of those things? I'm the First Lady of the Granger family and my son had always been the rightful heir of the Granger family. Even though he's gone now, I still have a grandson. No one would dare to forsake me in the future. I don't have to do these dirty things!"
Andrew immediately nodded. "Yes, Aunt Bethany is right."
Unexpectedly, Bethany's thoughts were still misguided at this point.
Amos looked at Clint knowingly, the door of the conference room was immediately opened. A familiar voice could be heard.
"Your grandson is not your biological grandson!"
Bethany froze when she saw Kaylene entering the room.
