Chapter 432 The Mayor's Appearance Theodore didn't show much emotion when he saw such a scene. The one who did wrong was supposed to be punished, not to mention the amount of harm this woman had done to him. Did they really expect him to help her solve this problem? "Mr. Godfrey, you said this person was the murderer, but where's the evidence?" "You can ask her yourself. I'm sure she's willing to explain the whole process," Theodore said in a cold tone. He didn't have the slightest bit of pity for her.
Joycelyn smiled bitterly. When those people cto kill her, she should have known that this day would ceventually. This was her karma. If she was given another chance, she would never have chosen this path.
She raised her head and looked at everyone. Her voice was hoarse and she began to speak slowly. "It waswho was greedy, that ledto do such a thing. A man named Sandom Meaker found me, and he wantedto drug the volunteer. He said that he would givefive million dollars. He toldthat the drug would only cause allergic symptoms and would not kill anyone. Therefore, I agreed to his request as if I was bewitched, but in the end, I was fooled. Now, the man is dead and I can't get away with it. I wanted to turn myself in to the police but there were other men who attempted to killlast night. It was Mr. Godfrey who saved me, as well as the police. I know I am a sinner, thus I chere to confess to the reporters. That way, I would feel better too." She cried as she spoke. It seemed that she really wanted to repent.
Theodore, who was standing behind her, had a cold look in his eyes. How could he not realize that she was only pretending to be a victim to let everyone know that she had lost her mind just because of money? He scoffed... If it wasn't for this press conference, he wouldn't have listened to her quibble.
"Didn't you ever think that you would be exposed when you did it?" "Yes, but I thought it would only cause a mere allergic reaction at that time. I didn't expect it would hurt him." Joycelyn's words becemotional, and her tears flowed steadily.

"Do you think everything will be fine if he only had allergic symptoms?" At this moment, the reporter behind asked suddenly, "Mr. Godfrey, did you look for a scapegoat on purpose for the press conference?" This sentence was like a rock thrown at the surface of a calm lake, causing layers of ripples.
The reporters all looked at Theodore. They wanted to know how he would respond to this statement.
His eyes flickered as he looked at the reporter, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his lips. As expected, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"The police are right outside the door. After the press conference ends, I'll have her prosecuted according to the law. I'd like to ask, do you think that I, Theodore Godfrey, have the ability to control all of these things and have the authorities put up a show with me?" Everyone agreed with his words. Who had the ability to get the officials to make an appearance and put on an act? The reporter did not seem to give up and continued, "Since it was said that the man named Sandom instructed her to do this, then what about him?" Upon hearing this, Moses flew into a rage. This reporter was obviously here to cause trouble, wasn't he? Why did he always sound like he was trying to draw the topic to Sandom? The coldness in Theodore's eyes grew stronger. "Of course he's in the police station. He can't be here because he's a recidivist." "Mr. Godfrey, can we say that you are just finding excuses for yourself? To put it bluntly, you just sent someone to put up a show for us, right?" The reporter sneered. Apparently, he did not believe in Theodore's words. Sometimes, humans tend to act like that. Once there was a leader who took the lead, people would follow to kick up a fuss. When other reporters heard this, they also asked the squestion. It seemed that they also wanted to know the answer. Moses wanted to speak but Theodore stopped him. "Since you said so, I can only invite the officials to cin then." As he spoke, the side door opened and a man entered in a business suit. Several men strode in behind him.

The reporter who had just asked the question saw the mayor and was flabbergasted. He was bewildered for stime.
His mind went blank. How did it turn out like this? Talbot stood next to Theodore. The aura exuded from him was not much less than his. His features were cold and stern, and his narrow eyes were filled with frost. He looked at everyone in the scene coldly.
His thin lips parted gently. "Sandom killed himself in the hospital last night. This is the proof of his death. If you want to know why, you are welcto cto my office." Theodore stood off to the side, giving the reporter a side glance. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile.
The reporters looked at each other. Who had the courage to question the mayor's words? Seeing that no one was talking, Talbot turned around and spoke coldly, "I'm here today to thank Mr. Godfrey. Sandom was a heinous man, and I've been wanting to catch him for stime. Thank you, Mr. Godfrey, for your cooperation with the police that I am able to arrest him. I'd like to express my gratitude to you." "Don't mention it." Theodore's voice was still deep and cold, without the slightest hint of fear or ingratiation. This time, people were impressed.
Theodore turned around and took out a recording from his phone. It was what Sandom had said before he died. When he met him that time, he held back a trick.
Of course, it had been specially compiled.

Talbot turned his head to look at Theodore. "Since you still have things to take care of, Mr. Godfrey, I won't stay any longer. I'm taking this person with me." "Sure." Theodore followed his gaze and saw Joycelyn standing by the side.
She had been dumbfounded all along. Never in her dreams would she have thought that the mayom hought that would chere and even personally help Theodore with this matter. This time, there was no way for her to escape.
After Talbot left, the scene becquiet. Now that even the mayor had appeared to speak up for Theodore, no one dared to question him. Nevertheless, everyone wondered in their hearts. Why would the mayor cin person? Was it just because of Sandom? At this point, Theodore didn't want to end the press conference like this. "Since a doctor had done such a thing, I won't let it go easily. When I find that person, I'll issue a statement personally." The reporters didn't ask more. Now that the mayor had showed up, what else could they say? Just wait and see.
After the end of Theodore's press conference, Everleigh had seen everything clearly, especially when Talbot cout. Her guess was right. That person was him back then. However, she didn't expect him to be the mayor. When Wilson heard the recording, he was furious. It was fine that Sandom had killed himself, but why did he reveal such things to Theodore? The secretary standing next to him was perplexed too. "Mr. Godfrey, what are we going to do now?" "Do you still needto guide you in such matters?" Wilson's eyes turned cold and the anger in his eyes seemed like it was going to explode any time.
