Miss President wants to talk to you

Chapter Sixty: Richard's Confession

"I don't!!!"

Rogers’ denial was almost a shout.

Subverting the Federation—that's a serious crime; I absolutely cannot admit to it!

Moreover, Rogers didn't believe Richard would report him.

Having served Morgan Stanley for over a decade, we have no shortage of trust between us.

He's bluffing me!

Rogers had seen through Eleanor's tricks.

They're trying to scam me!

Come and launch a sneak attack!

Thinking about this, Rogers calmed down.

“Mr. Hopkins, you don’t need to play these tricks on me.”

He said weakly, "Anyway, you've found the evidence. I won't deny it. I was the one who planned to cast the spell on you."

"But if you try to pin other fabricated charges on me, I will never admit to them."

Rogers leaned on the table, grabbed his hair, and looked dejected.

Elinor Hopkins, that guy is really ruthless.

To get revenge on himself, he was able to fabricate such a serious crime.

But something that hasn't been done is simply not done.

Even if Eleanor said it a thousand times, Rogers still couldn't admit it.

However, Eleanor's expression did not change after hearing these words.

He retorted, "You think what I just said was all a lie?"

"Is not it?"

Rogers gave a wry smile. "You won't even let me see a lawyer, isn't that just trying to make my case airtight?"

"So that's what you were thinking?"

Eleanor took out a file folder and threw it in front of Rogers.

"Open it and see for yourself."

"what is this?"

Rogers, filled with doubt, opened the file folder.

They took out the documents inside.

He froze on the spot after seeing just the first line.

"I, Richard Morgan, would like to make the following statement to the Bureau of Investigation regarding the conduct of Anguido Rogers."

This is!

Richard's confession!?

No, impossible!

How could such a thing exist!

Rogers simply didn't believe that Richard would go and give any statement.

He immediately exclaimed, "This is a forgery!"

Eleanor didn't argue, she just said:

"Don't rush to make a judgment, let's continue to observe."

Rogers sneered. It seemed Eleanor was quite confident in what he had fabricated.

Go ahead and watch!

He refocused his attention on the document and read through it line by line.

Rogers' breathing gradually became heavy.

The statement reads:

"Angido Rogers served the Morgan Group for many years, and was responsible for political lobbying, media relations, and some matters that could not be made public."

"I must admit that Rogers has indeed handled many sensitive issues for Morgan Stanley over the past decade."

"For example, during the Black Lake coal mine strike in 1923, Rogers provided three grants to the local sheriff's office through the Mason Charitable Foundation."

"In 1925, Rogers personally arranged for the printing press to print anonymous leaflets overnight, attacking two members of the Antitrust Inquiry Committee."

"In 1926,..."

As Rogers looked at these words, he was overwhelmed by an indescribable emotion.

betray.

Yes, it's a feeling of betrayal!

Everything stated in these written statements is true!

Rogers did all the dirty work for Morgan Stanley.

But it was all kept extremely secret; no one else knew about it except for myself and Richard!

Rogers had thought that these secrets would be taken to their graves by him and Richard.

however.

At this very moment, these secrets appeared in Richard's confession, which he readily admitted.

why?

Rogers couldn't understand why Richard would betray him.

Didn't we agree to keep this secret for life?

If you say all this out loud, you won't be able to escape the consequences!

Rogers continued reading.

"...In recent years, Rogers' approach has become increasingly radical."

"He was no longer satisfied with ordinary lobbying, but frequently and proactively proposed high-risk solutions."

"He once suggested that a collective spell be cast on Mr. Eleanor Hopkins to induce mental disturbance and influence the president's decision-making."

"The above plan has already been implemented."

"Afterwards, Rogers also suggested to me that I use delaying tactics to disrupt the hearings on the Banking Act, and I agreed to this."

"Everything I have said above is true, and the evidence is conclusive."

"I am willing to plead guilty honestly, accept the subsequent court judgment, and will never appeal."

"I just want a chance to start over."

Rogers is about to break.

He was now 100% certain that this was Richard's testimony.

Because there are too many secrets that only the two of them know, they cannot be faked.

Why? Richard, why did you betray me!

A thought suddenly popped into Rogers' mind.

He knew Richard; he was by no means a decent man.

I won't do the foolish thing of turning myself in just because I suddenly have a change of heart.

Moreover, Richard is extremely adept at calculating gains and losses.

He was willing to betray himself and confess to these crimes, surely in order to cover up even greater crimes!

What is it?

Rogers frantically flipped through the confession.

Finally, he saw this sentence.

"I admit that I have placed too much trust in Rogers in the past and have failed to restrain his behavior."

"But it must be stated that:"

"I have no knowledge whatsoever of his secret collusion with foreign forces, smuggling of weapons, and plot to overthrow the federal government!"

"If Rogers insists that his actions represent the Morgan Group, that is a false defense to evade personal responsibility!"

Rogers clutched his heart.

pain!

It hurts!

Why would Richard give such a statement, smearing himself with completely fabricated accusations?

He clearly didn't do it!

"No, it wasn't me... Richard is lying! He's lying!"

Rogers could no longer maintain his previous composure; tears welled up in his eyes, and he began to sob.

"I did not collude with foreign forces, I am not a spy, I am innocent!"

Eleanor looked calmly at Rogers, knowing full well that he was innocent.

Because it was I who was wronging him.

This confession was fabricated by Eleanor, and the unknown secrets within it were thanks to the system's help.

It took two whole days.
