"B*stard! He's framing me! He's setting me up! Turn it off!"
Gordon lost his composure and immediately tried to turn off the big screen.
However, the screen was remote-controlled, and there was no on-off button.
Gordon could not even find the wiring headboard.
He wanted to block everyone's eyes, but he could not.
The scene on the screen continued.
"Mr. Zigger, I thought this was a nice briefcase, so I bought one for you.
"Please pay more attention to that thing with Sean!"
James' voice came from the video.
A brand-new passcode briefcase was also pushed up to Gordon.
The contents of the briefcase were unknown, but they could figure out what it was.
"Sure!
"We'll ruin Sean this time."
Gordon laughed and accepted the briefcase without hesitation.
"Let's talk more about our next plan..."
James in the video continued to talk.
Frantic, Gordon suddenly lifted a chair and hurled it at the screen.
Bang! Clang!
Gordon instantly smashed the screen.
After a few flickers, it darkened instantly.
The image on the screen disappeared too.
"No, it's false. It's all false. I didn't!"
Gordon slowly squatted on the ground, his eyes filled with horror.
However, others had already seen the most critical aspect of the video.
This video was enough to prove that Gordon and James were involved in shady business.
Gordon did take a bribe from James.
If it got exposed, he would be put to prison, never mind getting a promotion.
There was a deathly silence at the wine party.
Many people had aghast expressions.
No one dared to speak first to break the silence for a while.
"You guys conspired to make a plan.
"Then you used me as a scapegoat and treated the entire River City business circle like clowns.
"Is this what you call development for River City?"
It was eventually Sean who spoke first and broke the silence.
"I..."
Gordon crouched, his face ghastly pale.
James was shaking with anger. How could he have known that Gordon had filmed their deal?
It was okay to film it, but how did Sean get it?
Now that everyone had seen the video, what should they do?
Whatever James said, there was no way to hide the fact that he was in cahoots with Gordon.
Jon and Quill slowly slumped in their chairs.
The situation was now out of their hands.
