Chapter 909

Harvey was utterly shocked and immediately made a frantic call to cancel the meeting.

Avery was helped back to his office, collapsing onto the couch. His chest heaved in pain as if his insides were on fire. His trembling hand touched his feverish forehead, his vision turning dark.

"Mr. Chambers, please, have some water," Harvey pleaded, kneeling by his side with reddened eyes. He pressed the cup to Avery's still-bleeding lips. "I've called your personal doctor. He's on his way as fast as he can. Just hold on a bit longer..."

With a snap, Avery swatted the cup away, his voice a hoarse whisper of dark intensity: "For years... Wayne has been my fixer, handling the dirtiest jobs with not a trace left behind. How could there possibly be evidence? Let alone video evidence!"

"It's like walking by a river and not expecting to get your shoes wet! Wayne might be exceptional, but he's not invincible," Harvey gritted his teeth. "Since he's in the hands of the police, he's a liability we can't afford. I'll do whatever it takes to silence him. We can't let this fire spread to you!"

"You make it sound so easy," Avery coughed painfully. "Wayne, being the Chief of Police, is no small fry. Even if guilty, he'd be locked away in a high-security cell, heavily guarded. Our people can't just walk in there."

Harvey's lips thinned, frustration boiling over.

Soon, the personal doctor arrived, providing Avery with some immediate care.

"How is Mr. Chambers?!" Harvey asked, filled with concern.

"Has Mr. Chambers been taking various strong medications over the years?" the doctor inquired cautiously.

Harvey's heart skipped, "He has taken some... What's the situation?!"
