Chapter 739
Viola looked terribly upset. It took her a while to react. She said forcefully, “Don’t act like we know each other. I don’t know you well at all!”
“Really?” George gave a strange laugh. His voice had a tone that made others feel uncomfortable.” But I know you really well. After all, you said you were willing to give me a loan. I was so touched with the offer, Miss Shaw.”
Viola stumbled. Luther was already staring at her with a warning look in his eye. He lowered his voice and asked her, “What are you hiding from me?”
George looked at Viola like a venomous snake. “I’m here to get what you promised me, Miss Shaw. You told me that if I took that old man as hostage, Melanie would fork out the money obediently…
“But I didn’t get a single cent, and I ended up with fucking decades of jail time for his life. You lied to me, Viola Shaw. You did this to me!”
George looked increasingly savage. He was having a miserable time in prison. Someone had to watch him even when using the bathroom.
This humiliation made George get increasingly furious at Viola.
Viola’s arrogance deflated the moment George appeared. Even her exquisite makeup could not hide the panic in her eyes. It was clear that she was unsettled.
She denied it in a small voice, “No, you’re lying. I don’t know you at all.”
Anyone could tell that she was lying.
George was unperturbed. He had come prepared. He took out a flash drive from his pocket and said wickedly, “The judge will find out soon if we know each other.”
He laughed and said gleefully, “Fortunately, I’m nothing like that stupid woman. I knew you were up to no good, and I recorded a little something…
“I was planning to use it to get some money from you to start a business, but you ended up being responsible for my father–in–law’s death. You even convinced that stupid woman to jump off a building!”
George asked darkly, “Miss Shaw, aren’t you afraid of my dear old father–in–law climbing into your bed while you sleep?”
Viola shrunk back in fear from his words. Melanie saw Viola’s reaction.
When Dylan jumped off the building, Melanie immediately informed Zara about this. That was when both of them knew that Dylan could not be relied on.
Zara proceeded to ask Melanie questions about George. She then reached out to him to negotiate the
situation.

She was a lawyer and knew how to play the psychological game well. It did not take much to convince
George.
George’s sudden appearance and the evidence he submitted turned the situation around. Zara took the opportunity to conduct an attack that rendered Luther speechless.
When the judge’s gavel fell, Melanie saw Viola stumble. She fell sitting on the ground.
Viola was completely defeated. She turned to look at Luther and begged desperately as she grabbed him, “Think of something, Mr. Laing. There must be something you can do. Help me! What should I do now?”
Luther was in a bad mood after losing the case. He had lost because of George’s unexpected
appearance.
He was a top lawyer, and his reputation was now sullied because of this case. He was not in the mood to humor Viola.
He pushed her hand away and said unhappily, “How would I know what you should do? I asked you before if you had told me everything. Tell me, who’s this person who suddenly appeared?
“You should’ve taken care of your own dirty work!”
Luther got even more annoyed and left without Viola.
Viola watched him walk away in disbelief. “You can’t leave, Luther Laing! Matthew Smith told you to help me!”
