Edmund was the one who had instructed Samson to commit an act of murder. Thus, he could be charged with voluntary manslaughter. There was no escape for him! After all, in Oskian law, the one who instigated others to commit a crwould be regarded as the principal offender! Edmund had ordered his men to kill. Despite not committing the act himself, once this matter was brought to court, it would at least be life imprisonment! If the crof poisoning Doris's father was added, it could lead to a stay of execution too...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking of this, Edmund had an emotional breakdown for a moment. He fell to the ground and cried, "I am sorry. It was my rashness that caused all these problems. It was not on purpose... It was not on purpose..." 2 Charlie slapped him hard and confronted him, "You ordered your man to murder someone and yet you dare to say that it was not on purpose?! Are you f** king kidding me?!" 1 Covering his face, Edmund wept and replied, "I... I was too obsessed... I wanted Doris for myself! I wanted Doris to resign from Emgrand Group to helpexpand my family's business in Oskia. I wanted her to steal confidential business secrets from the Emgrand Group to help my company quickly gain a foothold in Oskia... Therefore... therefore I planned all of this to force her to comply..." Hearing this, Doris becextremely furious! All this while, Doris had been a very civilized person in public. However, she could not control herself at this moment, and she angrily slapped Edmund as she rebuked him hysterically, "Why?! Why would you do that?! Is my dad's life leverage to expand your own business and fulfill your bestial desires? How could you be so evil?! Tell me, why?!" When Doris's mom heard this, she raged till her blood pressure soared. She shivered and scolded, "You... you are an animal! Return my husband's life!" After she spoke, she suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness. Then, she collapsed.
Doris was shocked and blurted loudly, "Mom!" Charlie quickly held onto Doris's mom. He checked her breathing and noticed that it was due to her anger that her heart could not supply enough blood to the brain. Her life was not in danger. So, Charlie gently placed her on the sofa to lie down.

I can immediately call my man in America and ask them to carry out the kidney removal operation. Tomorrow morning, it will be sent over to Uncle..." 1 "I can also compensate you with ten million dollars. If ten million is not enough, then twenty million..." Edmund continued to cry and beseech, "Doris, I'm begging you, please givea chance! I beg you, please do not sendto the police!"

After all, Edmund was not an Oskian.
He did not have many contacts in Oskia. If he were to be caught by the police and put undex trial, there was high possibility for him to be granted a reprieve. Edmund had sknowledge of the Oskian law. Once granted reprieve, even if there was active rehabilitation, he would need to wait at least twenty years to be released from prison. 1
However, Edmund was the eldest son of a ten billion-dollar family who had the best, the most extravagant, the wildest, and the most fashionable life one could ever have. If he really were to be in prison for more than twenty years, it would be more torturous than killing him straight away! Hearing his plea, Doris was so furious that her whole body shivered at that moment!
She stared at Edmund and yelled, "I'm telling you, Edmund! No matter what, I will not let you escape from legal tlet sanctions! You just wait, I am calling the police to cright now!" Edmund was so frightened that he blabbered and wailed, "No, Doris... I beg you, Doris... Don't sendto the X
