Chapter 88 I Forgot That You Are All Single
"Tell me, who is responsible for reporting my company?" Alexander stood up with excitement, visibly tense, as his entire wealth was at stake.
"It was me," Curtis replied coolly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Alexander's face hardened in an instant. After he finally came back to his senses, he shot an angry look in Curtis' direction and said, "Are you kidding me? We hold no grudges at all! As far as I know, Mr. Riley is not someone who would meddle in the affairs of others."
"Indeed, because the only person I care about is my wife," Curtis nonchalantly crossed his leg, savoring the sight of Alexander's furious face. "Victoria didn't tell you that she was the reason I destroyed your business. In retaliation for Victoria's treatment of my wife, I made her lose her ten million dollar investment."
Alexander was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "That's impossible! My aunt has always treated me well and never asked me for that ten million back. Don't try to fool me!"
Curtis chuckled lightly and remarked, "That's because she knows you couldn't repay it on your own. Instead, she reasoned that having a loyal dog to deal with me would be a better choice. After all, it's not easy to find someone willing to confront me in Prodiff."
Alexander had a hesitant expression on his face.
Curtis then played the recording of his conversation with Victoria.
After listening to it, Alexander slammed his fist on the table in frustration, producing a resounding bang.
"That despicable woman! She apparently knew everything! She manipulated me, made me provoke you, and imprisoned me!" Alexander seethed with anger, his teeth grinding together and his eyes clouded with gloom. "Don't blame me for retaliating against you, Victoria."
As he spoke, Alexander provided Curtis with the password to a safe: "Go and get it. Inside there are recordings of Victoria's every visit to my company for investments and dividends."
"Thank you," Curtis said, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
Steffen pushed his wheelchair and took him away, leaving Alexander alone, consumed by anger.
Shortly after leaving the detention center, Steffen took the initiative to speak up, "Mr. Riley, I can go and retrieve the evidence now."
"There's no need to hurry. I already have some evidence of what Victoria had done, but I haven't made it public yet because I want to show my brother some respect," Curtis replied calmly.
Steffen asked in astonishment, "You didn't come to the detention center just for that?"
"Not really," Curtis responded nonchalantly. "I was bored in the office and wanted some excitement."
Steffen was at a loss for words.
Curtis continued to make statements that rendered Steffen unable to respond.
"Don't you think it's funny that Alexander went insane when he discovered the truth? After discovering the truth, he felt trapped and manipulated and developed a desire for vengeance. But, he had to stay helpless in jail."
Steffen inwardly sighed, thinking, "You're even more cunning than them!"
