Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2386

"What you’re saying is..." After a long moment of silence, Charles lifted his head to stare intently at Jim's face. “When you first started working for Landry Group, you were brainwashed by Butler Fred and Mickey into committing these acts of treachery?"

He furrowed his eyebrows and added, "But even though it was seven or eight years ago, Rosalyn and I had still treated you well, hadn't we, Jim? If so, why would you be persuaded by Butler Fred into betraying our family? Besides, even if he had successfully talked you into doing these, what happened after that?"

Charles raised his uninjured hand and snatched the documents out of Jim's hand.

There was a hint of fury in his wizened gaze as he glared at Jim. "All these papers show that the companies registered under your name are still in business until now. Not only that, but they're becoming more and more successful by the day!

"Rosalyn and I can understand when you say you were brainwashed and didn’t know better. After all, every one of us had committed mistakes when we were young, but even after knowing you made a mistake, you never tried to correct yourself and instead started investing more effort into running these private companies.

"Moreover, you never tried to help the Landry family financially despite knowing about the hardship we had gone through for the past year."

Charles fixated his angry gaze on Jim's face and snarled, "How’re you going to explain yourself now?"

Jim furrowed his brows in exasperation when faced with his father's blatant fury. He sighed and plopped down in a chaise lounge, then turned to glance at Butler Fred, who was still restrained. "Are you going to explain, or do you want me to do it?

The servants had managed to help Butler Fred up from the ground, but at this moment, his face was stained with dirt and dust. When he heard Jim talking to him, he could not help sneering as he replied, "Are you kidding me, Young Master Landry?

"If I told them the truth about everything, will you be able to convince the L>h'?XKT> ry and Lynch families to let me go and show me mercy?"
