Chapter 316 Got the video!!!
Arthur let go of Lucia's arm at this time. Lucia immediately stepped forward to help Wyatt up, but she didn't know how to comfort for a while. She couldn't say "it's okay"...
Wyatt's guilt had been accumulated for too long, so just now he collapsed because of Lucia's words. At this time, Lucia supported him. His feet were already weak, and he could only lift his upper body. There was so much confidence to look into Lucia's eyes, and he still said,
"Miss Webb, although I have left Athegate over the years, I have been following your news. I was overjoyed when I saw the news of your return to Athegate more than a year ago, but since then there has been news that you and Jacob have been entangled. I were worried again. I also thought about going back to you and confessing everything, but I was afraid. I was selfish. I am old and I am afraid if I say this, I will go to prison. What will my family do then? So I could only continue to hide it from my conscience... I didn't expect you to come in person today... I really..."
The words were choked, and a tear of remorse dripped from Wyatt's eyes. Lucia was sad to see him like this.
In fact, when she heard this, Lucia already knew what happened, but she could let go of everything by saying "forgive". She couldn't do it. If he hadn't been lured by money to remove evidence for Jacob, Webbex Group would not be in Jacob's hands. And she would not be exiled abroad, and these hardships really cannot be easily relieved.
Arthur stood up at this point, and he came over to help Lucia who held Wyatt up. When Wyatt could stand on his own, he said,
"Lucia is in trouble now. You should know the news that Jacob has been sentenced, but Webbex Group is the effort of Lucia's father. If you can't prove that the will was not established, then Webbex Group will be destroyed. After many years, I hope you can consider helping Lucia testify in court to prove the truth. Although it is possible to face a period of imprisonment, I believe you can sleep soundly after that." Sleep soundly?
Wyatt raised his eyes which were clear. Arthur's words touched his heart. He had made enough money for so many years, and it was time to pay off his debts.
Raising his hand to wipe away the tears, Wyatt turned to Lucia and said,
"Miss Webb, I'm willing to testify for you in court. After hiding for so long, it's time to face it. Don't worry. I can not only testify for you, but also show the destroyed video."
"What did you say?!" Lucia's eyes widened. She opened her mouth and was almost unable to believe what Wyatt said. Was that video still there?!
Arthur didn't expect such a windfall, and he quickly asked, "Do you still have the video at that time?"
"Yes," Wyatt affirmed,
"We're not born villains either. I didn't have my day when I was a security guard in a hotel. At that time, my child needed a lot of money to go to school, so I couldn't help Jacob's temptation and collected the money with two other people. At that time, I only knew what I did was to help him destroy the video that night. But in the surveillance room, the more I watched, the more I felt that something was wrong. Why did Miss Webb and Miss Knight enter the room and Miss Knight was the only one who came out? And she was still waiting at the door, constantly looking at the camera, until Mr. Davies appeared. I watched her bring the drunk Mr. Davies into the room. I thought something big was going to happen, so when I was about to hand over the shift, I copied the video while the other two were not paying attention, before destroying the records on the computer."
Lucia was overjoyed when she heard this. She didn't expect that today's turning point would turn out to be a momentary reluctance from Wyatt, who was an accomplice.
"You're out of pity since you copied the video, so why don't you just send it to Lucia later?" Arthur asked Wyatt after a moment's thought.
"I also thought about this. After being fired from the hotel, I went back to my hometown. Soon after, I saw the news that the Webbex Group was renamed by Jacob to JTP. I was very uneasy, so I went back to Athegate and found Miss Webb's home. But I didn't expect that Miss Webb had already left at that time. I saw Jacob, but he thought I wanted to continue asking for money, so he gave me another hush money and threatened me if I revealed this, he would make my family restless. I was worried about my wife and children, so I took the money and left. After that, there was no news of Miss Webb."
Wyatt was talking about the past of a few years ago, and he couldn't help sighing. The wicked were rewarded with evil. Now he believed it.
"So..." Arthur whispered and said to Lucia, "Lucia, there is always a way out. The Webbex Group is saved."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Yes," Lucia nodded happily, and asked Wyatt, "Mr. Young, where is that video now?"
"It's on the SD card of my mobile phone. I haven't dared to change my number or my phone all these years, just thinking that if one day, if I can atone for my sins, it will let you contact me. I can give you the most powerful evidence," said Wyatt.
Lucia was a little moved after hearing this. Although Wyatt had done something wrong, he still had kindness in his heart. After the other two accomplices took the money, they must have left in a hurry and changed their mobile phones. He was the only one who kept this clue.
"Mr. Young, thank you." Lucia's attainment was engraved in her bones. Wyatt, who was in front of her could help her, and she couldn't help but thank him, but Wyatt couldn't bear it.
"Miss Webb, don't say that. I really can't afford it. If I hadn't been fascinated by money, you wouldn't have encountered so many ups and downs... I really..." Wyatt quickly expressed his guilt. He was not very literate so he can't tell his emotions, but a pair of clear eyes had already shown his sincerity.
"Can you give us the SD card now?" Arthur asked.
"Okay!" Wyatt replied immediately, and took out his phone as he spoke. Arthur and Lucia saw how worn his phone was, and it was a very simple old-fashioned model.
Wyatt said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I really didn't have the money to buy a good phone before. Fortunately, this phone has a built-in memory card, and the video is stored in it."
As a victim, Lucia felt that Wyatt's heart was shaken in the face of temptation. Life was too difficult.
Wyatt took out his card, handed it to Lucia, and said, "It's not a good thing to say, but I'm really relieved."
