Alden and Janae were already stupefied with shock. And now, two more witnesses had appeared! If they continued to be stubborn, they might end up losing their lives!
Looking at the group of underworld boxers with bulging muscles, Janae no longer dared to fantasize about living a life of wealth and glory! She groveled with a loud thud, saying tearfully, "Sir, we had no choice! We didn't mean to frame this doctor!" As she spoke, she tugged at Alden and cried, "Alden, let's confess everything! Losing our jobs is better than losing our lives! I don't want to die here with you!"
Alden also groveled in front of Kingsley, trembling as he said, "S-Sir, we received orders from the chairman… He ordered us to pretend to be the family of the deceased and smear Dr. Kramer's reputation…" As he spoke, he glanced fearfully at the homeless man and continued, "But we don't know how he died… no, I mean, how he faked his death! Our job was to make as much of a scene as possible before the police arrived, to provoke public outrage, and to prevent Dr. Kramer from having a chance to escape…"
Upon hearing Alden's confession, everyone around them showed disgust!
"Pfft! So, you intentionally framed this doctor! That's so malicious!"
"D*mn it! You used our kindness as a tool?!"
Many people also apologized to Alice one after another, saying, "Dr. Kramer, sorry for disrespecting you earlier!"
"That's right. We were all fooled by this despicable person! Don't worry; we now know that you had nothing to do with this!"
Alice's cold face showed a hint of emotion when she heard these words. Her eyes slightly reddened as she knew that she had gotten over this.
Alden prostrated himself on the ground and begged for mercy, pleading, "Sir, I've told you everything I know. Can you spare us now?"
"I can spare you," Kingsley replied indifferently. "But I have to learn the whole truth before I can let you guys off." He had to figure out what Matt's plan really was! What was going on with this man faking his death? And what purpose did the other dead body serve?
Upon hearing his words, Janae yelled at the stunned homeless man, "Do you know something? Speak up! Only if we all tell the truth will he let us go!"
The homeless man scratched his head in confusion and replied, "All I know is that someone paid me a large sum of money and told me to take a pill that would make me fake my death for three hours. Oh, and that person told me not to worry, saying that I could take the money and leave after I woke up in three hours. He would have someone else cremated in my place, after which I could start a new life in another city with the money!"
After listening to the homeless man's words, Kingsley figured out everything! So, this was Matt's plan! He's really gone to great lengths to deal with me, hasn't he? Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he recalled what Alden had said earlier about him acting under the chairman's orders.
"Where do you work?" Kingsley asked coldly. "And who is this chairman you mentioned?!"
Frightened by Kingsley's tone of voice, Alden shuddered all over and replied in a quavering voice, "I-I am a junior manager at Jacob Corporation… Our chairman is Felix Jacob…" Since he had already confessed everything, he thought it wouldn't hurt to disclose the chairman's name as well. And besides, he had already made up his mind. As soon as Kingsley released him, he would immediately flee Cleapolis with his family! Working for Felix was simply too dangerous!
Kingsley smirked coldly. So, Felix is also involved in this. Seems like they've decided to strike first for fear that I'll seek revenge for my father!
On the other hand, when Felix heard Alden's confession, his face turned pale! He cursed inwardly, "D*mn it, that good-for-nothing moron! He's worse than useless!"
