A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 1050

"I support Mr. Cadwallader's opinion on the situation," Patrick said. "Trevell Group has a long and storied history and has contributed much to Tarthy City. Should we deny the good that their company has done just because they're under suspicion of being involved in illegal activities?"

He pinned Jack with an icy look and sneered at him.

"We also agree with Mr. Cadwallader's words!"

A foreigner in a crisp suit stepped forward. He was Winston McMahon, the consul general of the Angleria Consulate in Tarthy City.

"We cannot deny Mr. Trevell's contributions and have also witnessed Trevell Group's contributions toward Tarthy City's advancement. Thus, we can proudly say that Mr. Trevell has contributed spectacularly to Tarthy's expansion by providing more than 100,000 job opportunities.

"In comparison, who knows which hole these men crawled out from. They also look quite dangerous, so we're convinced that they must be malicious individuals!"

Winston's expression of his stance raised the atmosphere in the hall to another high. Patrick and his posse were especially thrilled by Winston's declaration. Winston held a unique position in Tarthy's society. For him to step forward to show his support for Patrick was a great boon to them. His impact was second only to Gerard!

Joy washed over Patrick, Peter, Devin, and Jett while Elias and the others' expressions twisted. The scales had once again tipped in Patrick's favor thanks to Winston's unique identity.

"I also agree with Mr. McMahon!"

Just as everyone assumed that Patrick's authority had reached its peak, a woman's voice rang out clearly in the hall.

Wilhelmina, who had been sitting in the front row, rose to her feet. She spoke in a calm but mellifluous voice, "Everyone in Tarthy City knows that Trevell Group has always been a major taxpayer. Other than that, Mr. Trevell has always been kind and generous and has made countless donations.

"Where is the justice if someone like him is forced to endure having his name dragged through the mud?"

Meanwhile, Elias was wearing an upset expression. He didn't know how to respond to Patrick's authority that continued to grow as the seconds ticked by. Unconsciously, he cast a glance in Jack's direction.

Caspian was also calm, without a hint of fear on his face. His eyes glinted with murderous intent, looking as if he was just waiting for Jack's order for him to unleash his bloodthirsty self.

Specter was observing everything in their surroundings coldly.
