Chapter 373:I Have No Evidence
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After hearing Thomas’s words, Yannick suddenly looked upset.
He had never thought that Thomas would still choose to stand on Connor’s side at a time like this.
Standing up to speak for Connor at this time was basically drawing a clear line with him.
In Yannick’s eyes, Thomas had always been a man who understood the situation. He couldn’t understand why Thomas was willing to take such a big risk to speak for Connor.
“Dear lawyers, i admit that Mr. McDonald did violate the rules of the will last night, but all of this was not Mr. McDonald’s intention. After all, if Mr. McDonald did not save her last night, Miss Freya Phillips might have been disfigured. Even if she could recover her original appearance, there would be a huge estrangement between Mr. McDonald and Ms. Freya Phillips. He would never be able to be with Ms. Phillips again. The other party can use this against Mr. McDonald. This obviously makes it impossible for Mr. McDonald to inherit the inheritance. Therefore, I don’t think we can cancel Mr. McDonald’s eligibility as the heir just because of yesterday’s incident!” Thomas continued when he saw that these people were silent.
Jonas looked at Thomas with a hint of hesitation because he felt that Thomas’s words did make sense.
After all, the legal team also knew the relationship between Connor, Freya, and Steven. Why would Steven leave behind such a ridiculous will?
To put it bluntly, what Steven wanted to see the most was Connor and Freya inheriting his inheritance together.
“Mr. Morgan, you just said that someone wanted to frame Mr. McDonald, but as far as 1 know, not many people know the contents of this will. The other party only knew the contents of the will before framing Connor. So who do you think was framing Connor? Or rather, what was the purpose of the other party framing Connor?” At this moment, an older lawyer asked Thomas.
“Mr. Webster, the person who wants to frame Mr. McDonald is in this meeting room right now!”
Since Thomas had already said that, Yannick must have been extremely offended. Therefore, he didn’t mind doing things more ruthlessly!
“Thomas, are you implying that I framed Connor?” Yannick asked with a sneer. “That’s right. It was you!”
Thomas nodded and looked at Jonas. “Mr. Lozano, the woman who threatened Mr. McDonald in the video, is called Stephanie Lee, Yannick’s half-sister. Suppose Mr. McDonald loses the qualification to be the heir. In that case, Yannick will inherit Mr. Steven Lee’s inheritance as the first heir, so Yannick has every reason to frame Mr. McDonald!”
After Jonas heard this, he couldn’t help but turn to look at Yannick, his gaze becoming complicated.
If Thomas didn’t bring this up, Jonas would not have doubted his judgment. However, according to Thomas’s words, Yannick was obviously using the loophole in the will to frame Connor. Things might get a bit complicated.
“Mr. Lee, do you have anything to say?” Jonas asked Yannick.
“…” Yannick sneered, then looked at Thomas and asked, “Mr. Morgan, oh Mr. Morgan, 1 didn’t expect you to come up with such a mean move after holding it in for so long just now.
“I really admire you. As expected of the person my grandfather trusted the most when he was alive. But what you said just now was just your guess. Can you produce any evidence?”
“Evidence?”
Thomas was surprised when he heard this.
“That’s right. What evidence do you have to prove that 1 planned this? If you have evidence, you can take it out now! You can’t just claim 1 ordered Stephanie to force Connor to expose his identity just because she’s my half-sister, right? So, if your son kills someone one day, can I also claim that you ordered him to do so? Also, I, Yannick Lee, am indeed the first heir, but if 1 wanted to take back this inheritance from Connor, why haven’t 1 done it earlier? Why would 1 choose to attack now?
“And if I, Yannick Lee, really want to deal with Connor, do you think I need to beat around the bush?” Yannick snarled at Thomas.
After hearing Yannick’s words, Thomas was dumbfounded and deeply shocked.
He had never thought Yannick to make such a fast comeback. He found the loophole in his words almost instantly.
Connor looked at Thomas and Yannick with a complicated look. At this moment, he finally understood how big the gap between him and Yannick was!
If not for Thomas’s help today, Connor might not even be able to say these words. He could only be like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
Yannick and Connor were about the same age, but their ability to deal with things vastly differed. This might be the difference between an ordinary person and a rich kid!
Most of the time, people would think that rich heirs were just a little lucky to be born into a good family. However, sometimes, these rich heirs were not as simple as ordinary people thought.
“Mr. Lozano, I remember you told me before that your legal team has always been particular about evidence. No matter your decision, you must follow the evidence.
“Since Mr. Morgan has said these now, make him produce evidence. If he can produce evidence to prove that 1 did this, I can accept Connor as the heir of the inheritance. I have no objections. However, if Mr. Morgan can’t produce evidence, he’s just spouting nonsense here. 1 even have the right to suspect that he’s saying this because he benefited from Connor…” Yannick pointed at Thomas and shouted excitedly.
After Jonas heard this, he couldn’t help but turn to look at Thomas. Then, he asked Thomas, “Mr. Morgan, do you have any evidence to prove that Mr. Yannick framed Mr. McDonald?”
“I… 1 have no evidence!” Thomas looked at Jonas and hesitated. Then, he shook his head in despair.
Connor couldn’t help but frown after hearing this. He knew that Thomas had tried his best this time..
