Chapter 169: Heaven’s sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot survive
"Ha! Mrs. Johnson, Chairman Johnson, yes, the Johnson Family is wealthy and powerful, but don’t forget, there are laws in this world! Not everything is decided by the Johnson Family!"
"What happened tonight was indeed my fault, I admit it! I shouldn’t have stabbed Alexander Johnson. If you want to call the police, hire a lawyer, or even have me sent to prison, I will accept it. But similarly, he kidnapped my mother—this is his wrongdoing as well!"
"I will also reserve the right to pursue legal action! But if you insist on leveraging the Johnson Family’s power to circumvent the law, then I urge you to carefully consider the consequences! Some things can be hidden for a while, but not forever. Paper cannot wrap fire!"
"I refuse to believe that the Johnson Family can forever wield absolute power as it does now. No, even if you are the wealthiest family in Kyohai, you cannot control everything! Such a large family surely has enemies and rivals—if something slips out accidentally, perhaps triggering a stock crash or something similar, it’s not impossible!"
"So, good deeds bring rewards, and evil deeds bring retribution—what goes around comes around. Mrs. Johnson, Chairman Johnson, I ask you not to push people too far! Heaven may forgive, but self-inflicted sins cannot be lived through!"
Chloe Simpson straightened her back and stood upright in front of Liam Johnson and Gabriella Dyer, every word sharp and resounding.
"You! You little wench, who do you think you are? Daring to point fingers and dictate to me like this! Huh? Let me tell you, one phone call from me, and you won’t be able to stay in Kyohai!"
Gabriella Dyer was truly enraged this time.
Standing off to the side, Liam Johnson’s face also turned dark completely.
"Gabriella, that’s enough. Miss Simpson, we didn’t know so many things had occurred earlier. Rest assured, we will investigate the matter of your mother’s kidnapping thoroughly. If it’s truly Alexander’s doing—"
"Then we will let tonight’s event slide. As you mentioned earlier, your altercation with Alexander stemmed from your mother’s kidnapping, and in the heat of the moment, you unintentionally stabbed Alexander."
