Seeing that he did not refute, Rogers immediately seized the opportunity.
Richard wanted the White House to believe that the Rhine Empire had already extended its reach into the Federation.
"He wanted to anger the president and panic in Congress."
"As a result, the Federation's attitude toward the Rhine Empire will inevitably deteriorate!"
“The hostility from the Norton Federation is something the Rhine Empire would never want to see.”
"When the Rhine Empire is in a state of chaos, Richard can step in and demand that the Rhine treat its Zionites well. That will be much more effective!"
Eleanor frowned: "What good would this do for Morgan Group?"
"There's no benefit to it."
Rogers immediately said.
"So this is not in the interest of the Morgan Group, it is in Richard's own interest."
"Or rather, it's his personal obsession; he wants to put pressure on the Rhine Empire!"
At this point, Rogers swallowed hard.
“I admit that what I said about bloodline might have been a bit of a stretch.”
“But Richard’s sympathy for the Zionians must be true.”
It must be true.
Otherwise, Rogers really couldn't think of any reason to continue spouting nonsense.
Eleanor remained silent for a moment, while Rogers waited anxiously.
I don't know if the other party will accept my explanation.
at last
"Alright! I admit your argument has some merit."
Eleanor finally nodded.
In fact, as long as Rogers could provide a plausible explanation, no matter how outrageous it was, Eleanor would have said the same thing.
Moreover, Rogers' logic is relatively self-consistent.
Upon hearing this, Rogers, whose face had already turned deathly pale, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
at last!
I don't have to die!
“Mr. Hopkins, you must believe me, the spy is Richard Morgan himself! I am innocent! I am patriotic!”
Whether you love your country or not is not something you can decide for yourself.
Eleanor shook her head. "Even if Richard might be colluding with foreign forces, it doesn't mean you're patriotic. Don't forget, you've done Richard's dirty work for over a decade."
"Then I'm willing to be a witness against the prosecution!"
Rogers' eyes gleamed. "Mr. Hopkins, to tell you the truth, Richard's testimony just now was incomplete."
"He only talked about the dirty work I did, but he remained silent about his own many more stains."
"But I know all of this!"
"I am willing to give a statement and expose all the scandals of the Morgan family!"
Chapter 62: The Federation Will Perish Sooner or Later
Speak freely and without reservation.
This is Rogers' current state.
As he assured him, Rogers confessed to almost everything Richard Morgan had ever done.
nothing left.
His heart trembled as he confessed.
Thinking back on my time with Richard, it was such a pleasant time working together.
How did things come to this?
Do not!
He did nothing wrong; Richard betrayed him first, and he was merely retaliating to protect himself!
"Thanks for your hard work."
Eleanor took the record of Rogers' statement from the clerk.
After looking through it and confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Rogers.
"Sign it."
Rogers picked up the pen, his hand hovering in mid-air as he signed.
He suddenly asked, "What will happen to me?"
"what?"
What will happen to me next?
Rogers asked, head bowed, "You wouldn't believe Richard's ridiculous accusations, would you...?"
It turns out he wanted to bargain with himself.
Eleanor shook his head and said, "I can't give you any guarantees right now. Everything depends on the value of your statement. You don't have to sign it if you don't want to."
"No, no, no! I'll sign..."
Rogers finally gritted his teeth and wrote down his name.
What could he possibly do?
Signing the document might offer a glimmer of hope, but refusing to sign it would solidify his status as a spy.
Eleanor took the statement and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the signature "Angito Rogers" on it.
I finally got it.
With Rogers' signature, this statement is valid evidence.
It can be provided at a hearing and can withstand scrutiny by anyone.
Unlike the fabricated Richard confession from before, which could only be used as a tool for bluffing.
“You made the right choice, Mr. Rogers.”
Eleanor stopped giving her statement. "I'll instruct the Bureau to rearrange your accommodations and treat you well. Don't worry, they shouldn't misunderstand me this time."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left.
Rogers watched Eleanor's departing figure, recalling everything that had just happened.
There's still a sense of unreality.
A nameless sadness welled up in my heart; my once respectable life was gone forever.
He betrayed his employer, and even if he gets out of here, he will never be able to work in this industry again.
What should I do?
Rogers was utterly bewildered at this moment.
……
Eleanor did not leave the Bureau of Investigation headquarters, but went to the next room.
When he opened the door, he saw Andrew Walstead huddled in the corner, his pupils unfocused, looking like he'd been thoroughly messed up.
"You hit him?"
Eleanor frowned and asked Edgar.
"no!"
Edgar vehemently denied it, saying, "How could I hit someone randomly! It's his own problem!"
Having said that, as if worried that Eleanor wouldn't believe her, Edgar approached Andrew, wanting to help him up to testify for himself.
Before Edgar could even get close, Andrew jerked violently as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Don't come any closer!"
He clutched his head, his voice filled with unspeakable fear.
"I've already told you everything! Don't give me a shot! Don't give me a shot..."
Edgar's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't actually give you a shot."
"Yes, yes, no, no..."
Andrew nodded frantically, cooperating perfectly.
"I'm talking nonsense! Chief Hoffer did nothing!"
Eleanor had nothing to say.
Edgar really has some skills; the chairman of the Judicial Committee was scolded like this.
That leaves no semblance of dignity for a member of parliament.
At that moment, Edgar seemed to remember something and, as if to take credit, placed the confession on the table in front of Eleanor.
"He confessed everything!"
Edgar said, "I never imagined that someone who seemed so respectable would be doing such shady things behind the scenes!"
Eleanor took the statement.
After just a few glances, his brows furrowed tightly together, never to be separated again.
Tax evasion, bribery, sex scandals...
