Always Been Yours

Chapter 1422 What’s Going On?
The rest of the people were stunned as well. "Master Joseph?"
"Joseph, you..." There was clear suspicion in everyone's voice. Even Remus scrutinized Joseph. Joseph felt himself panicking at
the sight of everyone's gazes. However, he was a man of experience—Nicholas might have shocked him with this sudden attack,
but it only took him a while to calm down. Joseph then decided that he would take a more aggressive approach in return.
Joseph widened his eyes and glared at Nicholas before barking at him. "What are you trying to say here? Are you suggesting
that my assistant tried to hurt your brother?" Nicholas remained calm even when he saw Joseph trying to deny the truth. "Well,
why are you in such a rush to deny it? I haven't made any accusations," Nicholas replied with a smirk. In other words, he was
implying that Joseph seemed a little too defensive.
The rest of the people exchanged glances after hearing Nicholas' words. They seemed rather speechless for a while, and most
of them ended up turning to look at Remus. Meanwhile, Remus was staring at the ground. There was a dark look on his face, but
no one could guess what was running through his mind.
Stefania, on the other hand, couldn't contain her emotions after hearing the conversation. She turned to Joseph with a look of
fury in her eyes. "Why? Why would you do that? You watched Kieran grow up!" she said behind gritted teeth.
Joseph felt a mixture of shame and rage. "You don't have any evidence of your claims. Stop making accusations!" he cried.
"I'm sure Nicholas wouldn't make groundless statements. Judging by what he said, it's clear that this has got something to do
with you." Stefania had complete trust in her son's words. Joseph, on the other hand, was furious when he heard Stefania.
However, he knew that there was no point in arguing with her, so he turned to Nicholas instead. "Well, are you saying that I might
be involved in this matter simply because my assistant spoke to that security guard?" he asked.
"Why are you so anxious if you're not involved, Granduncle Joseph?" Nicholas shot him a provocative glare. Before Joseph had
a chance to explain himself, Nicholas continued, "Well, I'm glad that you're anxious because it just shows that you're guilty. Since
that's the case, I'll just put the accusation forward now. This was all you," Nicholas hissed.
Joseph's expression sank after that. He knew that Nicholas would only speak in such a firm manner because Nicholas had
evidence that could be used against him. However, Joseph wasn't prepared to give in just yet. "You're speaking without
evidence. How could you just claim that I'm guilty?" Joseph uttered.

"Well, I have the evidence, of course. This accident might seem rather sudden, but there's a clear reason behind it," Nicholas
explained. Edward was already standing by his side, and Edward took action after receiving Nicholas' signal. Edward stepped
forward with some files before he handed a copy to every single person in the room. They seemed confused at first, but their
expressions turned serious after they read them.
Even Remus was filled with shock when he first read the file. His initial shock was soon replaced by a powerful rage. "Are these
things true, Adam and Joseph?" He questioned them through gritted teeth.
Both Adam and Joseph were feeling guilty, yet they stubbornly insisted on denying their involvement.
"You know us well, Remus. We might be greedy, but we wouldn't do something to harm the company's interest." Adam tried to
highlight his character flaws just to calm Remus down a little. Joseph chipped in as well. "Well, if all of this is true, then we
probably ruined the company years ago. The annual reports would have indicated some internal issues by now. Yet, years have
passed, and no issues have surfaced. This just shows that the data here is inaccurate," Joseph suggested.
There seemed to be some truth in his words, and Remus shot Nicholas an uncertain look after hearing Joseph's words. What's
going on? Remus raised an eyebrow.
Nicholas gave Remus a reassuring gaze before he turned back to glare at Joseph and Adam. "Well, you were good at patching
one issue up by creating another minor issue elsewhere. That, along with a few fake accounts and someone who can cover your
ass in the headquarters... Of course, no one realized anything over the years."
