As soon as those words were spoken, Victoria's face instantly turned pale.
"Master Osborn, please give me a little more time. I promise to give you a satisfactory explanation!" She clenched her fist tightly.
"Someone had set me up! They deliberately dumped the bodies on my territory and framed me for provoking Boss Jarett," she added.
Hearing this, Augustus let out a cold smirk.
"Miss Jeanne, your explanation doesn't hold up. Are you telling me that you had no idea bodies were being dumped on your turf?"
Then, he crossed his legs nonchalantly and continued, "And what about your relationship with Kenny? Are you going to claim that's also a false accusation?"
"Umm…"
In response, Victoria hesitated.
It was true that allowing Kenny's men to roam freely on her territory had been a mistake as it could easily arouse suspicion from others.
However, that was not the main issue.
The crucial point was that there were bodies being dumped on her territory, and yet nobody had reported it to her.
She only found out about it after reading the news.
Could it be…
As this thought crossed her mind, Victoria slowly turned her head and looked at Rupert, who was sitting behind her.
However, he kept his head down, deliberately avoiding meeting her gaze.
At that very moment, a sudden realization struck Victoria like a heavy blow.
Rupert had betrayed her.
He had conspired with outsiders to set up a colossal trap for her!
Augustus' face revealed a smug smile. "Miss Jeanne, do you have anything else to say?"
Before she could answer, he immediately instigated,
"Everyone, you've seen it for yourselves. Victoria deliberately killed members of our Cole Gang in an attempt to provoke conflict in the underworld.
"We need to demand justice for our fallen brothers. Any objections?"
