Chapter 1485: 1485. William Hall was arrested

This greatly facilitates Jones’s plan to develop a natural scenic tourism area in the Atlanta mountains.

While things are looking bright for Jones, William Hall’s situation is anything but promising.

Ever since he was scammed during that land purchase, he’s been paranoid every day, terrified that any of his other dealings might get uncovered.

He’s likely given up hope for the Hall Clan, longing only to extricate himself from his previous messes.

But before he could take any action, he was already intercepted by the police detectives.

“Mr. William Hall, you are suspected of multiple counts of premeditated murder. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

A team of cops went straight to the Hall Clan’s office building and escorted him out from the chairman’s office.

This unexpected turn of events left the employees of the Hall Clan utterly shocked. One by one, they watched William being taken away, their faces full of bewilderment and dismay.

William Hall did not resist at all as he was taken away by the police, managing to preserve the demeanor and poise of a corporate tycoon without appearing too disgraced.

Once the elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened, he found himself face-to-face with Harry Hall, who was standing just outside.

Harry’s gaze landed on the handcuffs William was wearing. The cuffs gleamed with cold light, their surface so shiny that they reflected William’s grim and vicious expression.

With an indifferent smile, Harry pointed to the cuffs and praised:

“Nice bracelet. It suits you.”

William’s face darkened as he stared at Harry, gritting his teeth: “It was you.”

Watching him get arrested, Harry showed no surprise at all—it was clear he had anticipated this outcome long ago.

“Dad, what are you rambling about now?” Harry replied, wearing an expression of feigned bewilderment.

William froze for a moment. He couldn’t recall the last time Harry had called him “Dad.”

Even though the two were now at each other’s throats, hearing Harry call him “Dad,” with such a gentle tone—his brows relaxed and even carried a smile—felt surreal.

But his eyes were icy cold, piercing straight to William’s core.

He… truly didn’t care about his father going to prison.

A pang of pain and disappointment struck William’s heart.

“Did I force you to do those things? Or did I participate in them?”

Harry retorted with a mocking smile, the mirth never touching his eyes, “At this point, you still want to pin the blame on me? You really are aging backward, aren’t you?”

The next moment, Harry’s smile steadily faded away. “Take care of yourself.”

With that, he bypassed William and pressed the elevator button.

“Wait.”

William turned to look at Harry, clenched his teeth, and asked:

“I know I’ve lost to you this time. I just want to know—what do you plan to do with your younger brother?”

“My younger brother?”

Harry’s face first showed a hint of puzzlement, followed by a dawning realization. “Leo Hall?”

William silently stared at him as Harry said, “Relax. As long as he stays out of my way and doesn’t provoke me, I won’t bother targeting some childish brat.”

After finishing his words, the elevator doors opened; Harry didn’t wait for William to speak further before stepping inside the elevator.

And William, just like that, was dragged away under the incredulous stares of the Hall Clan’s employees.

“Oh my god, what just happened? Why was the chairman taken away?”

“Are you still confused about what’s going on?”

A nearby employee pointed upstairs and remarked, “The Emperor lost the fight for the throne against the Crown Prince.”

The strained father-son relationship between William Hall and Harry Hall had always been an open secret within the company.
