A displeased look flashed across the faces of the heads of the Ten Greatest Families because everyone
here tonight was from their family. By saying that the murderer was among them, wasn’t that as good as
saying that a person from the Ten Greatest Families had killed Zachary?
In the meantime, everyone was silently judging others around them, watching their expressions and
trying to look for a trace of a tell-tale sign.
Mad with fury, Harvey burst out, “Mr. Larson, you’re still trying to sow discord among us when you’re at
the brink of death? Everyone present is a friend of the Jacksons, so how could they have killed my
nephew? Don’t try to frame others, I tell you!”
Matthew retorted with a small laugh and said, “There’s no need for me to frame another. I am telling you
that I have the evidence! Weren’t you speaking about conclusive evidence earlier? Fine, I’ll show you
what a real conclusive evidence looks like!” Pointing a finger at Harvey, he questioned him, “Let me ask
you, did you check Zachary’s cellphone and his call records?”
Startled, Harvey stammered, “O-Of course I did!”
“Really?” Matthew sneered. “Since you’ve checked it, then you should know that Zachary made a call
after I’ve left. May I ask, how could he have made the call if I’ve already killed him?”
Again, his words created a commotion in the room. Everyone from the Ten Greatest Families were
stunned. Was there going to be a turn in the chain of events now?
Harvey flinched and rebutted in a cold tone, “What call? I’ve checked Zachary’s cellphone and there
were no calls made after that at all! Mr. Larson, don’t try to confuse the people here!”
“Mr. Jackson, I’ve always thought that you’re just harboring malicious intent and picking on me, but now I
realized that that’s not the case. The truth of the fact is, you’re just really dumb!” Matthew ridiculed.
“What did you say?!” Harvey exploded.
“I’m praising you!” he exclaimed. “What a dumb piece of trash you are! If you were the killer, wouldn’t you
clear the scene? If there was unfavorable information to you in the cell phone, wouldn’t you delete it? So
what’s the point of checking his cell phone then? Don’t you know how to check his call records from the
service provider? That can show where the real problem is, and it’s also something which can’t be
deleted!”
Samuel who was seated nearby suddenly froze when he saw how the situation had spun out of his
control.
Timothy clapped and agreed, “Well said! The Jacksons must have been blind to put you in charge of the
investigations, Harvey! You actually have the nerve to investigate with just that little intelligence you
have?”
Unable to rebut, Harvey’s face flushed bright red. “I-I…”
Old Master Jackson let out a deep sigh seeing that this son of his was actually not that capable after all.
“Mr. Larson, you said that Zachary made a call, but it was merely a call. That only proved that you didn’t
kill him, but what happened afterward? After you left, couldn’t you have turned back?” he pointed out
calmly.
Matthew glanced at him; it was true that the older was wiser— Old Master Jackson was much sharper
than Harvey.
Delighted, Harvey nodded earnestly. “That’s right, that call can’t prove anything!”
Meanwhile, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the Jacksons would speak up for him and he
didn’t have to find a way out himself.
Snorting, Matthew agreed, “It’s true that the call can’t prove anything. I raised this point only to
demonstrate Harvey Jackson’s stupidity, and it was a success!”
The whole room roared with laughter and Harvey’s face was scarlet from anger, yelling, “Enough with
your nonsense, Mr. Larson! If you don’t have other evidence proving your innocence, I’ll kill you with my
own hands!”
Matthew snickered. “Don’t rush, I’ll show you the evidence now! May I borrow your computer for a
second, Mr. Jackson? I happen to have a piece of footage to show everyone.”
