Chapter 162

The prosecutor asked with furrowed brows, “Mr Dupont, didn’t you say that you knew about the fund transactions but that you were coerced to perform those illegal transactions?”

Dupont faked a smile and answered, “I said that I was coerced, yes. But I didn’t say I had been aware of the transactions.”

“So, what did you think you were coerced to do?”

“I was told to keep quiet about whatever the Duke was thinking of doing. But I didn’t know I’d be paid to be silent.”

“The document I’ve just placed before you shows the list of properties you acquired in the past eighteen years. Tell me, Mr Dupont, do you own them?”

“Yes.”

“How did you purchase them?”

“With money.”

“Money from your salary?”

“Well, that’s what I thought. It wasn’t until you sent the audits to my lawyers did I realize that part of what I spent may well be from the government.”

“And a percentage was transferred to a company, Wu Bi Corporation, why?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of the company. Perhaps it’s the missing Duke’s?”

“Do you have evidence that Greg Claw is the owner?”

“Well, no. It was simply a guess.”

“So, you’re saying that you never knew that you’ve been transferring funds to Wu Bi Corporation, and that you had been spending the government’s money?”

“Yes, I didn’t have a clue.” Dupont acted so well that Lucianne was even thinking of nominating him for an Oscar award. Xandar, on the other hand, wondered how many hours Dupont practised his act in front of the mirror before taking the stand.

The prosecutor’s eyebrows raised in disbelief as she questioned, “You truly believed that your salary was enough to acquire a stamp collection in the millions, and palatial mansions in the billions?”
