Chapter 556 Muted Microphone

• The recording was about to be played. Claude looked at the judge and said in an urgent way, “Your Honor, what she said is not true. I’ve never done that kind of thing. Could you…” The judge frowned, dissatisfied with Claude’s actions. In a formulaic manner, he responded, “True or not, it will be identified.” Claude was stunned. He was at a loss. He was not sure if the recording was real or fake, but they indeed had voiced their intention to kill Declan. What if Gloria was there to record it? He was panic–stricken. He looked at his lawyer and said, “Do something!”
• The lawyer felt helpless and whispered, “Mr. White, there is nothing I can do. Whether the recording is real or not, we have to listen to it and then fire back.” Claude gritted his teeth. What else could he say? The judge’s assistant turned to look at Claude. His eyes were tinted with disdain. This man did such a terrible thing and had the nerve to call him for a favor. The recording was soon played. “This is our chance. He has taken the medicine, and we should hurry up with the next steps.” Gloria pressed the Pause button and explained, “This voice belongs to my aunt and Claude’s wife, Ms. Martha Hunter.” Martha was stunned. Damn it! Where did Gloria get the recording? That’s impossible! Angela panicked too. Gloria continued the play the recording. “Pfft… he is one step into hell. In a couple of days, he will have another heart attack. What’s the rush? The company is ours for the taking.”
• Gloria paused the recording again and explained, “This voice belongs to my cousin and Claude’s daughter, Ms. Angela White.” Angela was petrified. Bitch! Feeling the strange gazes from all around, she didn’t dare to move or show her vicious look again. Instead, he put on an innocent and aggrieved look. Claude gritted his teeth, trying to say something. When the first word came out of his mouth, he was surprised to find that his microphone had been muted. He tried the lawyer’s microphone, only to find it muted too. He was pissed off. This was blatant bias. Why weren’t they allowed to talk? Gloria paid no attention to him but pressed the Play button. “Don’t worry, everything is under control. I’ve united my followers in the company, and they promised to support me unconditionally. When Declan is dead, I’ll let Gloria transfer her shares to me. Then we’ll have no more trouble.”
