An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Oh? Really? Then, show them the evidence. Let everyone see for themselves.

Langdon swallowed hard, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Had his entire past really been dug up in just half a day?

“First, I investigated Mr. Langdon’s assets and income sources,” Axel said, pulling out a stack of documents and placing them on the table.

He explained firmly, “His spending far exceeds his salary. He owns 18 luxury homes, dozens of high-end cars, and a private collection of gold, antiques, and famous paintings.

“Altogether, his assets are worth tens of billions. Given his salary, it would take him several thousand years of saving every penny to afford that. So I have to ask-where did all this money come from?”

The moment those words left his mouth, all eyes turned to Langdon.

Everyone knew he was corrupt, but no one expected it to be on this scale. If his fixed assets alone were worth billions, his liquid assets must be even more staggering.

“Langdon, is this what you call being upright and innocent?”

Austin flipped through the documents and barely skimmed them before tossing them at Langdon’s feet. His words landed like a punch to the gut.

“No! This is impossible. Someone is framing me!” Langdon barked, kicking the papers aside. But the forced bravado in his voice did little to hide his unease. “I’ve always served with integrity. How could I possibly be involved in corruption? Every bit of this is a lie.”
