Chapter 136
hapter 136 The Price
"Mr. Buchanna! Welcome. I am relieved by your presence." Patrick was just as vain as people said. When he faced Zac, he beamed with a smile. He tried hard to flatter Zac.
Zac's expression was still indifferent.
He glanced at Patrick and then Carter, who was behind him, said, "Mr. Buchanna's time is limited. It's best to end it within twenty minutes."
"I see. No problem!" He looked behind him, his gaze fixed on Aurora. He then beckoned for Aurora to come over.
Aurora was now representing the Black Rider team. There have been very few female drivers in this
field. In addition, almost everyone knew about her relationship with Zac.
She walked over, and there was already a discussion around her.
But Patrick acted like he knew nothing, said "Mr. Buchanna, this is the representative of the Black Rider team. I invited you here today to explain something. The results of our investigation are here, but I hope this matter ends here."
Aurora raised her eyebrows but did not express her opinion.
"Why?" Zac glanced at her and knitted his eyebrows.
"Well... Mr. Buchanna, you'll know after you take a look." Patrick smiled bitterly, and his tone
carried a hint of flattery.
Just as Zac reached out to take it, Aurora took the lead, "I was there when it happened, and it was best for me to read it first."
Her fingertips swept across Zac's hand.
Zac's froze for a moment. There was no expression of displeasure on his face. His gaze then fell on
Aurora.
Aurora opened the investigation results in front of everyone, but her brows furrowed tighter and
tighter
"Have you finished reading it?" Patrick cleared his throat.
He reached out to take it but Aurora dodged.
She stood up, "Do you still think this is an accident? Even if you wanted to cover up something, there is a limit!" Then, she threw the report in front of Zac.
She stood up, "Do you still think this is an accident? Even if you wanted to cover up something, there is a limit!"
Then, she threw the report in front of Zac.
"Mr. Buchanna, I would like to hear what you would say."
In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Patrick did not expect that Aurora, who looked weak, would be so difficult to deal with when she was angry. Moreover, she dared to get mad in front of Zac... No wonder they divorced.
If he had known it earlier, he would have met Zac alone.
Patrick wanted to please Zac and to strive for the investment for the next competition, but now it was all ruined.
Patrick was mad at Aurora now.
"Ms. Bennet, this is the Racing Association, not somewhere you can act recklessly. If you continue to act like this, I will let you out."
Aurora sneered.
And she took out a digital recorder from her pocket. "It uploads our conversation in real-time. What we said has already been uploaded to my computer. If you throw me out now, I will put the record on the Internet. And everyone will be the judge."
"Aurora!"
Patrick had not expected Aurora had recorded everything, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
At this time, Zac had also finished reading the report. For a time, his face was extremely gloomy.
Previously, Carter only discovered that Wenny had bought two staff members and tampered with the brakes, However, it was only the confession from a witness. He could suppress it with his power.
But...
The situation was different now.
After a week of investigation, the Racing Association had grasped solid evidence and the timeline was very clear.
Based on the evidence they currently had, it was easy to convict Wenny of murder, not to mentior
If this continued, this matter would not be able to be suppressed.
And it was likely to involve the entire Buchanna Group.
Zac knitted his eyebrows. He never did business that would bring him losses. "Mr. Moore, please leave us alone. I want to talk to Aurora alone." Zac emphasized the word 'alone'. "Alright. No problem. Take your time."
Patrick cast a look and all people of the Racing Association left.
Aurora raised her eyes coldly, "I just talked to the people of the Black Ride. We don't accept any bribes or compromises. We want the truth."
"Is that necessary?"
Zac smiled, not serious at all. "This stalemate won't be good for you, Terry, or the race team without any foundation."
Moreover, there was a possibility that this would end Terry's racing career.
After all, no competition wants a tainted participant.
Even though Aurora had mentally prepared herself, when she faced Zac alone, she would feel that his aura was terribly strong.
In this world, only those who had capital had the right to speak.
In front of him, Aurora was just struggling to survive.
Zac threw the report in front of Aurora, and said, "Tell me whatever your conditions are."
He had a deep look in his eyes as if he was certain that Aurora would relent.
The countermeasure that Aurora had come up with was shattered at that moment. Zac knew too well how to grasp the weakness of his opponent. Aurora could grit her teeth and disagree. But what about the others in the racing team? What about Terry?
They needed to keep this team alive.
It was no different from throwing straws against the wind to playing hard with Zac.
But did she allow herself to lose just like that?
Aurora was unwilling. She knew what the truth was and so did Zac!
AS
She bit her lips, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Zac saw all of her reactions. Looking at her hesitant expression, he thought that she was feeling sorry for Terry. For a moment, his tone got heavy.
"Even if it were to be made public, I still have the power to keep this matter down. Right now, you all still have the chips to negotiate. If this continues, you won't have any chance."
His words stabbed into Aurora's heart.
She lowered her head with a lonely look in her eyes.
After a long time, she asked in a muffled voice, "Zac, do you think that everyone is controlled by you and will live as you wish?"
She raised her head again and said stubbornly, "I believe in Terry. He won't compromise."
Zac clenched his fists. "Aurora, I'm giving you a chance."
Was she that considerate of Terry?
Did she have to go against him?
His tolerance and care for her were too much, so much that this woman thought she could fight him
now.
Just as Zac was about to get angry, Aurora suddenly laughed.
Then, in front of Zac, she threw the report into the trash can. "Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Buchanna. We don't need it. Just now, I had asked Terry's manager to contact the lawyer. From now on, we will not listen to the words of the Racing Association.
"Our interests will be represented by the lawyer. Since the Racing Association can't give a fair judgment, then we will wait for the judge to decide."
"Aurora, don't go too far." Something cold moved into Zac's eyes. He didn't want to waste so much time on this matter.
When she met his gaze, Aurora's smile deepened. "Zac, you forced me to do this. That day at the hospital, you knew that this matter was related to Wenny, but you chose to protect her." The more she spoke, the colder her voice became. "She is killing people. Do you understand?"
