Thriller Paradise

"You're right. There's no way we can reverse the case ... It's been seven years, and all the evidence has been lost. Whatever we say here is just a guess." Zuo Yan continued,"this is also the reason why you are able to maintain such a fearless attitude."

"I'm fearless because I have a clear conscience. " John's tone carried a hint of pride."Unlike some people ..." As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Sam."...They're about to go to prison for hiring a Hitman."

"That might not be the case." As Feng bujue interjected, he also stood up and poured himself another glass of red wine."Many times ... Something that is not to be doubted at first glance can be completely different from what it appears to be."

When he said that, John, Sam, and dauste didn't understand what he meant. They just thought he was deliberately mystified.

However, Zuo Yan ... Had already detected a trace of strangeness in her words. Victor, who was hiding in the dark, was even more shocked when he heard this ... The feeling of being seen through made him explode.

"Zuo Yan, please continue." Two seconds later, Feng bujue picked up the new glass of red wine. As he walked back to his seat, he turned to Zuo Yan and added,"

"Um ... Okay." Zuo Yan hesitated for a moment before continuing,"at this point in time, the situation is more clear ... What Miller has is very fatal to John. As long as Miller exposed the fact that John and old Herbert were not related by blood, then according to the law, John would be an outsider living in the Herbert family without the knowledge of the person involved, and without the adoption papers.

"This way ... Even if the so-called 'will' was forged by Sam, it wouldn't have any impact on the order of succession. Since old Herbert had never left behind any real will, after confirming that the existing will was fake, the Heber family's assets should be distributed according to the general rules of inheritance, and the only legal heir was Sam.

"Of course, even so, John isn't really in Miller's hands. After all, John has plenty of resources. If Miller disclosed the matter, John would definitely hire some expensive lawyers to help him fight this lawsuit ... Whether it was from the 'legally recognized de facto adoption relationship' or the 'time limit of action of the inheritance law'... It couldn't be said that there was no chance of winning.

"There's no doubt that when Miller started blackmailing John, John had already calculated this, but he still had a guilty conscience ... Who knows if there were any more flaws in the inheritance case, so ... John still paid.

"However, he didn't give much. As a businessman, John naturally knew how to bargain. He clearly calculated the bill with Miller and put it on the table to negotiate with the other party.

They're both involved in the case, and they're both guilty. There's no benefit for Miller to reveal the truth ... It's nothing more than harming others without benefiting himself. Plus, there's the new crime of 'blackmail'... If the two really fight to the death, Miller will be even more miserable.

"Therefore, after a round of 'negotiation', the extortion became a situation similar to charity.

"For the past three years, John would transfer a sum of money to an overseas account in his personal name every month. The owner of the account was, of course, Miller. The amount of money was neither too much nor too little. It was about a month's salary of a middle-class person.

"To John, this doesn't matter at all. Even his expenses on raising a dog are higher than this. And for Miller ... At least in the beginning, these conditions were not bad, because that was when he was at his lowest. People who were about to sleep on the streets usually wouldn't be picky about money.

"However ... Not long after, Miller, who was able to live without putting in any effort, began to be greedy again ...

"After he calmed down, he must have realized ... He knew that he had such a big secret, but he only got some leftovers in exchange for it. As a result, he gradually became dissatisfied with his life, and then he went to social media to vent his anger, and then he wanted to go back to his old career ... But he was not willing to take the risk of giving up his stable 'income'.

"In the end, the only thing Miller could think of was to go to John to renegotiate, but he was firmly rejected.

"Not long after that incident ... He went to find Sam."

At this point, Zuo Yan fell silent for a moment, as if he was waiting for everyone to digest this piece of information.

"I understand Miller's motive for finding John. It's for money ..." After a while, Feng bujue was the first to speak."But why did he find Sam?"

…………

"This guy ... He's asking the obvious ..." At the same time, Victor, who was hiding in the ventilation duct, muttered in his heart.

"What?" No one else could hear this, but Zuo Yan could. He immediately used the mental communication method to ask,"are you talking about brother Jue?"

"I don't know what his purpose is, but he seems to be guiding us to explain the case in as much detail as possible ..." Victor replied."But in fact ... I can feel that he has as much foresight as I do."

"This ..." Zuo Yan pondered for a moment."Does that mean he's trying to help us?"

"I don't know." Victor replied,"in short ... You can continue to tell me, and I'll observe ..."

…………

No one else could hear the conversation between the human and cat. In their eyes, Zuo Yan had only been silent for a moment.

"It's simple," he said."It's also for money, but the amount and method of obtaining it are different."

"I understand!" "Sam!" All of a sudden, Daoist Daoist Daoist dawned on Sam like a kid who had just solved an extremely difficult riddle."As long as John is killed and the secret that he's not old Herbert's biological son is revealed, then ... There won't be any lawsuits anymore. At least Sam will inherit all of John's assets that used to belong to the Herbert family!"

"Actually, it's fine if he doesn't announce it." Zuo Yan continued,"from another perspective ... If Miller didn't reveal the secret, then in the eyes of outsiders, John's assets should also be inherited by his only 'brother' in the world after his death."

"The truth of John's past ... Is Miller's trump card." At this moment, Sam, who had a serious expression, continued,"if I'm obstructed in the process of inheriting the inheritance, he can use that to turn the tables. In addition, when he first came to find me, he already knew that ... As long as he showed me his trump card, I would help him. "
