Pierre's expression remained the same. Even after Jason saw through his nonsense, he did not feel even the slightest bit of guilt. He turned to shout, "How can you believe him? I summoned you guys here as witnesses to prove that the bidding document incident has nothing to do with me. In fact, I'm a victim as well. As police, aren't you supposed to deal with such things?"

The officers did not utter a word.

Pierre added, "That guy, Luke, has been going to the Mallory family to give me a hard time. Now that I want to straighten things out with him face to face, he's nowhere to be seen?"

"Boss is still working," Jason stood aside and said. He thought to himself about how ruthless Pierre's tactics were and how much of a drama queen he was.

"How much longer will he take?" Pierre squinted his eyes with annoyance plastered on his face.

However, he did not pose a threat to Jason. A faint but polite smile could still be seen on Jason's face. "I'm not sure about that either as Mr. Crawford is fully-booked today, but he'll deal with the tasks at hand as soon as possible. He'll then come down here to listen to your explanation."

"Hmph." Pierre crossed his legs and glared at the man being held by the police.

He had spent a lot of money to get this man to agree to take the blame.

Jason sat down on an armchair and looked at the handcuffed man as he asked with great interest. "Mr. Pierre, what position does this person hold in your company?"

Pierre rolled his eyes and took out a cigarette from his pocket while fumbling for a lighter. "It's none of your business."

"I'm just curious. Besides, he doesn't look like one of the executives in your company..." Jason said thoughtfully while giving that man another look.

The man who was being looked at lowered his head out of guilt.

He was just a mere employee who got bribed by Pierre to become a scapegoat.
