Chapter 163

Mr Clark began, “Mr Dupont, in your years as minister, did you ever have direct access to government funds?” 1

“No. I’m only a deputy. Marie is the one with direct access.”

“So, you can’t access the funds without her approval?” Mr Clark clarified.

“Well, to be fair, neither of us can access it unless the government, as a whole, approves it.” Dupont clearly rehearsed this well versed answer.

“So, the funds which were disbursed were approved by the government?”

“Yes, it was to be given to wolf packs. But I have no clue how a part of it ended up in my account. I can tell you I was shocked beyond words when I was informed about it.”

Mr Clark smiled at his impeccable answer. “And do you keep your phone with you at all times, Mr Dupont?”

“No, that’d be ridiculous! I leave it on all parts of the house all the time.”

“So, it is possible that one of your ten servants could have accessed it without your knowledge, if they were being careful enough.”

“It’s very possible, Mr Clark.”

“As for your daughter’s education, isn’t it true that she works part-time, hence earning a decent wage?”

Dupont smiled with pride. “She does, indeed.”

“Thank you, Mr Dupont.”

The prosecutor got back up for the re-examination. “Mr Dupont, how much does your daughter earn in her part-time job?”

“I don’t know about that.”

The prosecutor faced the judge and said, “My Lord, I ask that the accused’s daughter, Ms Dupont, be called to the stand to be questioned.”
