If it weren’t for them, he and Eva would happily be together. How did it come to the point of falling out?
As Andrew, who was already impatient, shifted all his hatred onto the two brothers, Andrew coldly spoke again:
“Jayden, if you confess how you framed Mr. Simpson clearly, I’ll let you go back to France. Otherwise, you’ll stay here forever, and don’t even think about walking out that door.” After Jayden snapped back to reality, he snorted in disbelief.
“Do you think Arcadia is your own place and you can do whatever you want?”
A deep, bottomless look flashed in Andrew’ eyes.
IIS SIX-1001- gure and walked step by step towards Jayden.
As the tall and upright figure approached, Jayden instinctively blinked his eyes.
Andrew lifted his slender finger and grabbed Jayden’s chin, forcing him to raise his head.
“Mr. Sherwood, you may not know this, but in Arcadia, I truly can do whatever I want.”
The condescending action, the disdainful tone, and the overwhelming gaze all fueled Jayden’s anger.
Why did the Evans family always have the upper hand just because their background was slightly better? Did that give them the right to disregard him?
“I don’t care what you want to do, I will never admit it.”
“Very well.”
After a slight nod, Andrew released his grip on Jayden’s chin and turned to look at Dr. Lee, who stood beside them, helpless.
“And what about you?”
Under pressure, Dr. Lee instantly didn’t know what to do.
When Stella mentioned that other forensic experts had Sherwood, indirectly admitting to falsifying the report.
Now, Andrew was asking him again, but he just wanted him to explain the whole process of the incident so that they could proceed with the case.
If he stubbornly refused to admit like Jayden, Stella could simply expose the recording, which would be enough to ruin his career as a forensic expert.
If he cooperated now, perhaps Mr. Evans would be lenient with him, after all, he was just an accomplice, not the mastermind. Mr. Evans wanted to deal with Jayden, not him. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Dr. Lee made a request to Andrew:
“Mr. Evans, I know that once I reveal this, you will surely use the audio and video recordings to clear Mr. Simpson’s name. But my career will also be ruined. I am willing to take the risk and tell you the truth, but you need to find a way to minimize my losses. At least protect his identity from the outside world, so even if he couldn’t make it here, he could go abroad and start anew.
Dr. Lee regretted taking the money from Jayden, but if he wasn’t in need of money, he wouldn’t have done something that goes against medical ethics. But now that things had come to this, he could only try to secure his own future.
Jayden clenched his fists tightly and glared at Dr. Lee when he proposed this condition. However, Dr. Lee didn’t even look at him and kept his gaze fixed on Andrew.
“Mr. Evans, do you accept this condition?” Andrew smirked slightly.
“You’re the first person to negotiate with me.”
Dr. Lee’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Andrew would refuse, but he nodded.
“Okay.”
Dr. Lee breathed a sigh of relief and explained in detail how he Lee’s confession, all they needed now was to extract the reason why Jayden concealed the patient’s condition…
Andrew returned to the couch, crossed his long legs once again, and lazily looked at Jayden kneeled on the ground.
“Dr. Lee not only explained everything, but also provided transfer records as evidence. Even if you don’t admit it, it won’t help you.”
“Then take Dr. Lee’s accusations against me and sue me.”
Since the body had already been cremated, the autopsy report made by the other forensic doctors might just a lie Stella used to trap Dr. Lee. Jayden believed that as long as he stubbornly denied it, Dr. Lee’s accusations alone wouldn’t be enough to easily bring him down.
But obviously, Andrew didn’t want to go the legal route.
“Mr. Sherwood, do you think Llocked you up here just to sue you?”
Jayden’s heart sank as he squinted his eyes and looked at the man sitting in the light.
“Then why did you do it?”
Andrew didn’t answer, he just beckoned to Andrey who was standing beside him and gestured with his finger.
Andrey quickly took out a small knife from his military boots and placed it in Andrew’ palm.
With a gloved hand, Andrew flicked the sharp blade.
“I heard that a doctor’s hands are precious. What would you do if I severed your tendons?”
His casual tone carried a cruel, bloodthirsty undertone, causing Jayden to instinctively tighten his grip on his own hand.
“If you resort to torture to force the truth out, it won’t hold up in court.”
“It seems you still haven’t understood what I mean…”
Even Dr. Lee, standing on the side, couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
“Mr. Evans means that he only wants to expose what you have done to the medical field, so whether he used extreme methods to get the truth out is inessential.”
Dr. Lee anxiously finished speaking and earnestly advised Jayden, “Mr. Sherwood, please stop resisting. Mr. Evans just wants to clear Mr. Simpson’s name. If you confess everything, he will let you return to France. This way, you can still establish yourself in the medical field abroad. But if your hands are ruined, you will never be able to become a surgeon!”
“What about my Nobel Prize in Medicine?!” Jayden shouted angrily, leaving Dr. Lee stunned.
“That is Mr. Simpson’s research achievement, what does it have to do with you?”
“How does it not have to do with me?!” Jayden glared at Dr. Lee through gritted teeth.
“You only helped him, it wasn’t your own development…” Dr. Lee couldn’t comprehend Jayden’s thought at all.
“So what? If I want something, I must have it!”
Andrew, sitting on the sofa, propped his elbow on his knee, leaning slightly forward, his eyes fixed on Jayden, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
You want to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine, don’t you?”
“Which doctor doesn’t want to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine?!” Jayden candidly admitted his ambition, causing Andrew to lightly smirk.
“While you desperately want to obtain something, I’m sorry, the more you want it, the less I will let you have it.”
