After the security guards left, they did not come back again. A shot soon rang out from the courtyard. Subsequently, an army squad dressed in khaki uniforms dashed in from the courtyard and subdued everyone in the banquet hall at once. A 40- year-old commissioned officer walked out, yelling through the walkie -talkie, “Listen up, everyone. Hurry up and put down your guns. You guys have been besieged. There are snipers everywhere, so don’t act rashly. Otherwise, you’ll be killed.”
All the guests in the hall immediately panicked. Even the security guards whom Finn sent here were at their wit’s end.
Gavin felt anxious as well. How did the army barge in when his people had already surrounded the entire manor? “Don’t panic, everyone…”
“Who are you guys? Stop moving.” Finn clutched Rodney in a state of panic. “Quickly put down your guns, or…”
With that, a bullet penetrated Finn’s head. He widened his eyes right before he plopped down to the floor.
“Snipers!” Someone screamed.
However, it was too late. All the security guards in the banquet hall had been shot dead within seconds.
“As I said, don’t act rashly, ” the commissioned officer said through the walkie -talkie once again. His gaze was extremely cold.
Petrified, everyone instantly kept their mouths shut. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
Even Wesley and the Meads were shivering all over. Clearly, the abrupt twist to the situation had caught them off guard.
At this point, they still could not figure out what was happening. They had gained control of Canberra, had they not? Why had everything changed all of a sudden?
After the commissioned officer came down from the second floor, he knelt on one knee in front of Nathan. “Prime Minister Snow, I’ve dealt with everyone outside as per your instructions. Those at the gate of the Snow family’s house have been arrested as well. At present, the whole manor is already within our control.”
“Great job. You may get up.” Nathan slowly nodded, his deep eyes sweeping over everyone in the banquet hall.
A lot of them looked ghastly. They had chosen to betray Nathan and even addressed Gavin as the prime minister, proving that they were all part of the conspiracy.
At this moment, they were frightened and shocked. Some of them were even consumed with regret.
One of the senators whose last name was Jarman promptly laughed and said, “How wise of you, Prime Minister Snow. In fact, I knew from earlier on that you had another plan. Sure enough, you did. No one is more capable than you, Prime Minister Snow.
Australia needs you so that it can achieve greater heights. Gavin signed his own death warrant. How i s he even comparable to you?”
Nathan let out a deep laugh. “Senator Jarman, you’re clever at acting based on the situation. Unfortunately, I think I overheard you addressing Gavin as Prime Minister Mead. In that case, you should remain faithful to him. Take him down…”
He waved his hand. Subsequently, someone dragged Senator Jarman away.
“Forgive me, Prime Minister Snow! It was my fault. I’ll never do it again.”
His anguished pleas lingered in the banquet hall, which made everyone numb with terror. However, nobody dared to say anything for fear that they would be the next person dragged away.
Needless to say, Wesley and the Meads were the ones most frightened now, Hannah as well. Her face, which had been applied with makeup, was filled with dread. She was even on the brink of a breakdown.
Just a few moments ago, she was going to become the prime minister’s daughter, whom Shaun would be forced to subservient to. How did everything change?
“Why did things turn out this way?” she yelled, ” Why, Dad? Didn’t you say your plan would work?”
Gavin fixed his eyes on the commissioned officer dressed in a khaki uniform. “As long as you stay loyal to me, I can pay you however much you want. You can name any amount.”
The officer kept his face impassive.
Shaun stopped jabbing the gun at Hannah. He shoved her roughly to the floor and said indifferently, “It’s no use paying me. What’s more, are you sure you still have so much money?”
“Absolutely.” Gavin nudged Wesley, who was beside him. “He’s the wealthiest person in Australia. He can pay you however much you request…”
“Cool.”
Wesley gritted his teeth. Looking at the current situation, he knew he had to get himself away from this at any cost.
After pausing for a moment, he smiled at Nathan and said, “Prime Minister Snow, I was also fooled by Gavin before this. From now on, I’ll be loyal to you. I can pay hundreds of billions in taxes to Australia if you’d like. Besides, if you have me backing you in the business industry, you can consolidate your position. Look, I’m a lot more capable than Shaun.”
“Wesley Sanderson, how dare you betray me?!” Incredulous, Gavin tried to punch him.
Wesley dodged Gavin’s punch and even pushed him to the floor. “Gavin, you have only yourself to blame for being incapable and unlucky. Prime Minister Snow is head and shoulders above you.”
“You b*stard! If it weren’t for me, would a simple man like you have become who you are today?” Gavin criticized as he pointed at the tip of Wesley’s nose.
“I became who I am today based on my abilities.” Upon finishing his sentence coldly, Wesley said to Prime Minister Snow flatteringly, “Given that I own Lyons Corporation and Golden Corporation, I can solve the country’s unemployment issue by providing tens of thousands of job opportunities. What’s more, I was only aware of Minister Mead’s plot to rebel, but I didn’t take any part in it. In fact, whoever becomes the prime minister of the country doesn’t matter to a businessman like me.”
Nathan observed him calmly with a smile.
Rodney could not bring himself to listen to Wesley. “Wesley, how f*cking shameless you are! Do you take the Snows for fools? Earlier, you told Gavin that he’d dominate the political domain while you’d dominate the business industry. How brilliant! How dare you say you weren’t involved in the conspiracy when both of you intended to take control of Australia?”
Wesley broke into a smile. “Young Master Snow, I really am influential in the business industry now. In truth, as long as the Snow family is willing to let go of the past and accept my help, you guys can rise to a higher rank.”
“Wesley, even at this point, haven’ t you realized why you lost?”
Shaun suddenly walked up to Wesley and shot him a profound look. “Gavin had the audacity to rebel all because of you. It was because you could support him with an endless supply of funds. Although you spent so much money bribing many people, have you ever thought why the Snows managed to barge into your manor without alarming you guys?”
Wesley was stunned. By the time he came to his senses, his mind flashed with unease.
“It was because those people had already received a piece of news.”
Rodney laughed and said, “Today, the whole world has blacklisted and is boycotting Golden Corporation. Moreover, Sheryl from Lyons Corporation plans to cancel the transfer of shares to Jeffery, while Wade was arrested half an hour ago. Oh, by the way, Jeffery and Sheryl are suspected of massive fraud. The police are now on their way to arrest them. So what do you have now? Only Golden Corporation that deals with the local market remains.”
Ryan reminded gently, “Rodney, although Gavin owns shares in Golden Corporation, he’s now suspected of rebelling. We suspect that Golden Corporation is involved in some shady dealings. We have the right to halt the company’s operations and shut it down. In other words, there won’t be a company called Golden Corporation from today onward.”
“I see.” Grinning, Rodney said, “In that case, you’re left with nothing, Wesley. How can you assist the Snow family and dominate the business industry now? Pfft. You’re f*cking shameless.”
Wesley’s head buzzed.
“This is impossible. It’s impossible.”
With a pale face, he shook his head. He still could not resign himself to this fact. “Sheryl couldn’t possibly have canceled the share transfer.
Furthermore, if Sheryl assisted Golden Corporation, she would be able to solve the company’s crisis as well. She wouldn’t dare to reject me. She wouldn’t dare do so.”
He took out his phone and was about to call Jeffery to look for Sheryl.
Matthew was still in his clutches. If she chose not to help him, he would kill Matthew.
“You don’t have to look for Sheryl.”
Looking at his mad behavior, Shaun interjected nonchalantly. “Sheryl has already learned the truth.”
“Truth?” Wesley began to laugh wildly. “She’s mentally ill. How would she know the truth?”
“I didn’t know that you’ve always taken me for someone who’s mentally ill.”
Suddenly, a female voice rang out.
Nathan and the others moved away as Titus walked in holding Sheryl. Sheryl fixed her eyes ferociously a t Wesley.
Never had she thought that she would one day fall into this young man’s clutches for such a long time.
It was because of him that she harmed her biological daughter and son. She nearly ruined her whole family as well.
Following behind her was a young and thin figure. That person was none other than Matthew.
Matthew glowered at Wesley resentfully as well.
Wesley’s legs turned to jelly. He tottered a few steps backward and hit the chair behind him.
Titus’ gaze was cold. “You planned to threaten my wife with Matthew because you thought he was still with you, right?”
“He… How did he escape?!” Wesley roared hysterically.
He had asked his confidant to hide Matthew in a place where no one would think of searching. It was the most bustling karaoke place in Melbourne. Who would have thought that he would hide someone in the most bustling place?
“You have only yourself to blame for being wicked and insane. Even your dear ones hate you.”
Shaun said indifferently, “You sank so low as to kill your biological sister’s son. How could she not take revenge on you? Unfortunately, she knows you too well even though you tried to drive her back to Melbourne. She knew from earlier on who you’d assign important tasks to. By getting people to tail you, she found out where your confidants usually headed to. Since Matthew is so important to you, you surely wouldn’t let him die. Needless to say, you’d usually ask your confidants to keep an eye on him, so we got to know where Matthew was.”
