Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Riding Coattails

Whenever Alistair wanted, he could access the "Time Snapshot" content as videos on his phone.

Unfortunately, while the snapshots confirmed his suspicions that Liam, Rebecca, and Celeste were all guilty, they couldn't be used

as evidence in court.

Rebecca had gone directly to Liam's house with no witnesses present. If Alistair tried to present the video, it would raise too

many questions.

He couldn't reveal where the footage came from, and he definitely couldn't expose the existence of the system.

What they'd done essentially amounted to fraud involving two million dollars. With solid evidence, they could be looking at a good ten years behind bars.

Even if legal constraints prevented him from sending them to prison, Alistair had other ways to get what he was owed.

He was planning to spend a small fortune-200 system credits -to buy a "Secret Obliterator” that would expose all of Liam's secrets and give Alistair leverage over him.

Nearly fifty now, Celeste had spent her entire life being supported by Liam. Her only real talent was keeping him wrapped around her

finger.

They were a package deal. Hurting Liam meant her comfortable life would crumble too.

But there was no way Alistair would let her off the hook. He'd deal with them one by one, sparing nobody. He owed it to himself to make them pay dearly.

It was sadly ironic. While other families shared loving parent-child relationships, his had devolved into open warfare.

What Alistair had forgotten, though, was that he wasn't just someone with the system. He'd also unknowingly secured powerful backing.

Caroline was already investigating Liam's financial transactions from six years ago to prove Alistair had been set up. She was also "accidentally" digging up leverage that could keep Liam firmly under control.

This saved Alistair 200 system credits.
