Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 104: Effect

"B-Because... no one... got..." he stammered, still trying to crawl toward me.

No one else had been here except me, so he had every reason to believe the camera would remain undiscovered.

They showed conversations with various people-wealthy and influential figures-discussing illegal transactions. It seemed he kept these as leverage to blackmail them if they didn't comply with his demands. Tricky, but I had to admit, I liked it.

"Is this how you handled the situation five years ago?" I asked coldly, staring at him. My symptoms were worsening, but my anger overpowered the pain.

My vision darkened when I saw two specific videos. There was no audio, but I could clearly identify the people in them. One featured Silver, the other Simon. Was this why my father wanted him executed?

When he didn't answer, I removed the memory card from the camera and tucked it into the tip of my shoe.

"Johanson Windwood, a senator for almost a decade, soon to run for president... What do you think will happen when everyone finds out about your dirty secrets?"

I trusted Evangeline to extract more evidence against this scumbag, but what I held now was substantial enough to ruin his reputation and his illegal ventures. "W-Who are you?" he croaked.

"Oh, I'm Sapphire," I answered with a smirk. "Simon Parker's illegitimate daughter."

I noticed him attempting to press the red button under the table, but I swiftly pulled him away.

"This is for your own good, senator. You're going to get killed."

I wasn't lying. The contents of his camera would undoubtedly lead to his assassination if anyone else discovered them.

But I needed answers before the poison took me.
