Chapter 738 - 735: Shameless CEO (5)
"Vera!" Kris Cooper seized her arm. "You know my temper. I won’t leave unless you explain things clearly to me.""Fine!" She threw off his arm. "You want to know, don’t you? Fine... I’ll tell you! Why I want to leave you—it’s because I hate you! I hate the Cooper family, I hate your father, I hate Ashton, I hate Glimmer... I hate this world! Why? Why did you have to be Christoper Cooper’s son? Why did I have to fall in love with you? Why did your father have to destroy Walter Wave? Even if we were your rivals, why did he have to do it that way? Can you imagine how much it hurt when I saw my father fall to the ground?!"
Kris Cooper stood motionless for a few seconds before he began to understand what she was saying.
"No, Vera!" He reached out and held her shoulders. "Listen to me. Things are not as you imagine..."
"Let go!" Vera pulled his hands away. "I know what you want to say. You want to say that it was just normal business competition. I know, I understand. I know it was just business competition, but I can’t accept it... Every time I go to your house, every time I step into Glimmer, every time I see your father... all I can see is my father’s face... covered in blood, his skull deformed. I’ve tried not to think about it, but I can’t. I have nightmares every night, dreaming of my father asking me why I betrayed him. It’s too much. It’s just too much..."
Staring at the girl before him, hysterical and in intense pain, Kris Cooper clenched his teeth. He turned, walked into the living room, and grabbed his phone from the table.
He strode back to her and handed her the phone. "There’s an audio recording on this phone. You have to listen to it!"
"I don’t want to hear it! Kris, just leave!" Vera, her face streaked with tears, looked at him. "Yes, I love you. Apart from my father, you are the most important person in the world to me. But I can’t do it. I can’t be with you... Just leave!"
Kris Cooper reached out, grasped her arm, and pulled her into his embrace. With his other hand, he pressed the play button.
Kris Cooper’s voice immediately sounded from the phone.

"Minister Davis, why did you ask me to come here? What do you want to discuss?"
"I want you to stop the investigation into me immediately. From today on, we stay out of each other’s way."
"Are you begging me, or threatening me?"
"As I said before, this is a transaction."
...
"He caused our family to be torn apart, ruined my husband’s reputation, and drove him to commit suicide in prison. He deserved it. He deserved to die! If it weren’t for him, Ala and I wouldn’t have divorced, and Nathan wouldn’t have lost his father so young!"
"Blood debts are paid in blood. The debts of that year have been settled. He deserved it. My conscience is clear!"
...
"If you dare to go against me, I will tell her the whole truth. I’ll let her know how selfish her father is. I’ll let her know that her beloved Uncle Ye was bankrupted and imprisoned because of her father, and was also killed by her father... And her Brother Nathan, it was because of her father that he suffered such hardship, being bullied and looked down upon abroad..."
...
"Mrs... Mrs. Davis?!"
...
Kris Cooper knew that Liliana Davis was no ordinary person and that finding evidence against her wouldn’t be easy, which is why he had secretly recorded their conversation on his phone.
However, he hadn’t expected Vera to show up. In his panic, he turned off the recording, so subsequent events weren’t captured.
Later, he had let Sophia Thompson listen to the recording alone. Considering the circumstances at the time, Sophia also believed that releasing this audio wouldn’t benefit him. In fact, the opposing lawyer might use it as a pretext to accuse him of murder to silence a witness.

Good afternoon.
