The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 867

In the States, illegal arms trafficking is no joke. Once you get slapped with that charge, there's no easy way out.

Andrew had always been trying to dig up dirt on the Shepherd family, and this time, it was serious.

"This feels like a well-orchestrated plot-not just against the Shepherd family, but Sam too," Wyatt whispered, leaning in.

It was too coincidental that Andrew managed to seize the weapons. Plus, Andrew and Sam have always been political rivals, smiling to each other's faces but hiding true animosity. Andrew had been gunning for Sam's top position for a while.

James closed his eyes briefly, maintaining his calm demeanor. "To take down the Shepherd family, he'd need to have the chops."

"But Curtis found something interesting," Wyatt continued.

"Oh?" James glanced at him, curious.

"An encrypted file that Curtis managed to snag from Andrew."

Though it was a rookie mistake, they'd figure out the whole story soon enough.

"However, the file hasn't been decrypted yet, so we don't know what's inside," Wyatt whispered back, pausing before adding, "Whatever Andrew's keeping so hush-hush, it's probably not something legal."
