Chapter 229 Leave In The Lurch

Sylvie Larson fell onto the sofa and trembled with fear.

How could I be caught within such a short span of time?

How did Nathan Cross and Penny Smith mobilize all the television stations to refute the rumors and

broadcast all my crimes?

What kind of abilities do they possess?

Even Jerry Zabinski and Giovanni Russo were dumbfounded.How did Nathan Cross do this?

Jerry was the first one to regain his composure and exclaimed, "I think Nathan Cross is just faking it. I

don't think he has conducted any investigation before jumping to the conclusion that you were the

mastermind."

Giovanni echoed, "That's right. After all, you didn't follow his instructions to issue a public apology, and

Penny Smith's doctored photos appeared on television instead. Of course Nathan Cross could guess

that you were the one behind it."

Jerry nodded. "Yes, I am very sure that he must have just guessed it. He would need some

supernatural ability to be able to investigate everything thoroughly in just a few minutes. There is no

way he could be that capable."

With a trembling voice, Sylvie said, "But, every single television station in the country right now is

refuting the rumors. How could Nathan Cross do this if not for his immense influence and power?"

This was something that Giovanni could not figure out as well, so he turned to Jerry.

Jerry had a slight smile on his face as if he had already figured out everything. "It wasn't Nathan

Cross's ability that made all the television stations take action at once," he said as he sneered.

Both Jerry and Sylvie were befuddled and Sylvie asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"

Jerry began to analyze the situation confidently, "Based on my knowledge, the person in charge of the

Channing Television Station, Maja Ivanov, was transferred here from the North. Apparently, she comes

from quite a distinguished background and is not here because of her ability. Now that the channel was

hacked with the broadcast of Penny Smith's doctored photos, it definitely must have infuriated Maja. I'm

guessing that Maja used her family connections to clarify this incident with all of the television stations."

Giovanni felt that Jerry's analysis made a lot of sense.

Relieved of his worries, he finally smiled and said, "There you go. I've already said that there was no

way a retired soldier like Nathan could have such astounding abilities."

Sylvie was caught in conflicting emotions when she heard Jerry's analysis.

She was relieved and happy to hear that Nathan Cross and Penny Smith were not as capable as she

had thought, and that Nathan Cross's influence was not as far-reaching as she had expected it to be.

However, she was worried as it was her idea that had infuriated Maja Ivanov, the head of the Channing

Television Station. Consequently, the police were on their way to arrest her.

Sylvie felt that her only chance at life now were Jerry and Giovanni.

She immediately said to them, "Mr.

Zabinski and Mr. Jerry, now that I've been exposed, I really hope that you will save me.

Sylvie's face fell and she could only place her final hope on Jerry.

However, Jerry looked completely detached and said coldly, "Sylvie, it's not that I don't want to save

you. However, now that this has blown up, someone has to bear the consequences. In my opinion, you

are the perfect candidate." Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the vicious look in Jerry's eyes. That scared her into

immediate silence.

With his family's influence, he could easily wipe out the Larsons and even kill her!
