Chapter 807: Chapter 825: Misfortune of Being Just One Step Behind (15)

This was equivalent to explaining the ins and outs of the whole situation, so it took some time, but the two people opposite showed no impatience.

Throughout the interrogation room, only Elijah Smith’s voice could be heard.

His tone remained very steady.

Before coming, he did not hesitate.

Twenty years old was the most wonderful beginning for a man, and he had just become sensible not long ago. Once, he was a complete bastard, beyond redemption. However, after meeting Ella Adams, he had been striving to be a good man.

He knew Ella Adams wouldn’t mind, but deep down, he felt guilty.

He had always been choosing between his sister and his lover, but in the end, he couldn’t help but wrong himself and Ella Adams.

He knew what surrendering like this meant. Such a large-scale commercial crime could lead to sentences of ten to twenty years, considering he surrendered on his own accord.

That was the entirety of his life up to now...to spend it in such a bleak prison without freedom; life would have hit rock bottom in an instant, and he was not without fear.

But he had no other choice.

He couldn’t miss this great opportunity, nor could he let his sister encounter any danger. After all, his parents had already left, and Isabel Smith was the only close blood relative left in the world.

The further Elijah Smith went, the calmer he became, even equanimous, until he finally finished confessing everything, and the whole interrogation room fell completely silent.

After a while, the man asking the questions spoke up, "You can have some tea first."

Elijah Smith lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, before the man continued, "You say you’re Timothy Howard, what is your proof?"

Elijah Smith opened his bag, took out the ID card he had prepared beforehand, along with the information about the money laundering company and Sebastian Smith’s criminal evidence, and handed them over.

Then there was the rustling sound of flipping through papers. The two men whispered and pointed at the materials, then lifted their heads and asked Elijah Smith, "What was the motive for breaking the law at first?"

"Business struggle," Elijah Smith had thought all the words through, "In order to seize Smith Corporation."

Another family property dispute case... The two people sitting opposite Elijah Smith nodded calmly, then put away all the materials and said to Elijah Smith, "We appreciate your ability to realize your mistakes after breaking the law. As for this matter, we will now launch an investigation. If everything is established, Mr. Smith, we may handle it impartially then."

Elijah Smith, of course, knew that behind those words lay the price he had to pay.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Under normal circumstances, how long will I be sentenced?"

"You’re not the legal person, but you’re an investor, so your sentence would be lighter than Sebastian Smith’s. Considering you surrendered yourself, your crimes would be less severe, but because the amount involved is too large, I can’t judge right now... However, conservatively, at least fifteen years; if you find a good lawyer, you might be able to fight for ten years."

Upon hearing the length of the sentence, Elijah Smith’s expression remained as calm and collected as ever. He nodded to the two police officers,
