Chapter 655
When Simon heard it, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head, seemingly trying to think, but
in the end, he shook his head. “I’m not sure.”
He looked at Nicole. Her expression was calm and seemed trustworthy. Seemingly looking like she was encouraging
him to continue speaking, he finally plucked up the courage to continue,
“Rhein told me not to supervise the work. He went behind me to make a deal with the Federals. I suspect that the
reason he kept me out of the process was to do something behind my back.”
Nicole looked at Simon’s expression and figured that he was not lying. The latter was still in a state of surviving
death, so his mental state was in tatters, and he should have no will to die.

everything.
Nicole turned to look at Jared. The two had an idea of what had happened at the same time.
She gently tapped her index finger on the table, seemingly in thought. Elijah, standing by the side, knew that she
had already gotten what she wanted out of him, so he turned to Simon before him and sighed.
“Simon, it’s too late for you to realize your faults now.”
“You almost dragged the entire family into this quagmire for your own greed. Have you not considered that if Nicole
had not come, and the other party got the traitor label to stick on us, how long can you be patriarch even if you
manage to be one?”
Elijah’s dark green eyes opened with a pained look within. “The Turmann family can and will never forgive traitors.
So, leave.”
For him to need to deal with two siblings in one day, a pained look appeared in Elijah’s eyes. However, he was the
patriarch of a huge family, and if he could not be fair with his judgments, then what should he do if someone were
to betray the family for their own gain in the future?! Nicole knew this very well as she looked coldly at Simon with
nary any sympathy
‘One reaps what one sows.’
Moreover, Simon was not a good person even before his confession.
Simon could not accept this outcome. When he heard Elijah’s merciless words, a look of disbelief appeared on his
face. Even Eber, who had always been nice to him, did not say anything this time.
“Yeah, fiber is a stickler to rules. He doesn’t dare do anything that goes against the family (teed, but I just made a
mistake Why must they hold onto this trivial matter and not give me a way out?!”

Thinking of this, Simon gave everyone a resentful look, especially Nicole. She was the one who had Pryoulaged him
to tell everything, yet when he spilled the beans, she refused to help him
He could now ser that the person Flijah valued the most was not his owui son but this Nicole
who had popped out of nowhere. If she could speak up for him, even just asking for mercy, perhaps he might have
a chance to stay in the family and continue to enjoy its wealth and power…
Simon looked at Nicole as he slowly spoke. His tone was, however, almost directive.
“Nicole, I’ve told you so much. Why you can’t help me say a word or two to calm Elijah down and allow me to stay?”
Nicole had never heard such a plea before as she looked on impassively at Simon before saying, “I’ve not even
settled the score of you sneaking into my room to steal the blueprint. I’ve only gotten you to admit what you did
wrong so we can come up with a plan on how to salvage this mess. You think this is some sort of contribution?”
