Wayne burst into a laughter that was void of any real joy, shaking his head incessantly.
It wasn't that he doubted Aaron's words; it was more about regretting the past three years of relentless,
unquestioning loyalty. Reflecting on it, he found it all to be futile, unworthy of his sacrifices.
At that moment, he was consumed with remorse and sorrow-
Not for any missteps or for losing the achievements he had fought his entire life to earn, but for the stark
contrast between his upright, honorable younger self and the person he had become: a slave to the devil.
"Besides the evidence we found at your place, is there anything else you'd like to confess?" Aaron asked sternly.
"es."
Wayne's eyelids drooped. "I was involved in the Warner Bright case. It was Avery who was pulling the strings
behind the scenes."

Aaron was shocked. "You killed Warner? | thought it was suicide!"
"It was a suicide, but it was Avery who drove him to it. He even crafted a fake suicide note in advance and had a
lawyer bring it to him to carry. That way, after his death, with my influence, the police would quickly close the
case, ruling it as suicide."
Aaron frowned, still puzzled. "Warner was set to inherit the Bright empire. Mr. Bright, with his pride and ambition,
how could he be so easily manipulated by you guys?"
"Because Avery had something on him that could ruin him."
Wayne's eye twitched. "Warner was one of Avery's key partners in Emsworth. He was deceived into thinking he
was trafficking a new kind of drug that would make him a fortune. That's what Avery led him to believe at the
beginning.
But Warner had no idea he was just helping Avery conduct human trials for a drug. Avery never intended to profit
from it. The offer was too tempting, and that's why Warner took the risk to work with him."
The Bright family was also Aaron's maternal side, now fully under his mother's control as she took over the
Bright Group. With family involved, Aaron's concern deepened:
"The Bright Group is a prestigious family in Skyrim, with assets worth billions. Why would they get involved in
drug trafficking?"
"Zachary Bright and his son have been recklessly expanding their business empire in recent years. Plus, their
pharmaceutical research made little progress, and investors were reluctant to fund them anymore, leading to
financial issues for the Bright Group. That's how Warner fell into Avery's trap."
Aaron's eyes widened in understanding. "What exactly was this leverage?"
"Drug trials led to a series of deaths in EImsworth. When Warner confronted Avery to back out, threatening to
take him down if anything happened to him, we all know what Mr. Chambers is capable of. He would not tolerate
any dissent."
Wayne's expression was as lifeless as ash. "So, one night, under the guise of a party, Avery lured Warner to a
resort on the outskirts. It was a night of debauchery, and Warner, losing himself, ended up in a room with a girl.
That girl died in the early hours, on the bed, from an overdose of hallucinogens injected by someone Avery sent.
But Avery, taking advantage of Warner's drunken stupor, pinned the murder on him. He orderedto dispose of
the body before dawn."
Aaron's eyes widened in rage, "And the girl's body? How did you dispose of it?!"
"In the eastern district, there's a construction site with a partially laid concrete foundation. | dumped her there."
As Wayne finished, he bowed his head deeply.
Regret, guilt, and agony made his tears fall in a relentless stream, their quiet pitter-patter echoing in the stark
interrogation room, amplifying into a tumultuous roar that seemed to engulf him completely.
Aaron, feeling a lump in his throat, looked at the man before him with a complex gaze.
No matter what, he couldn't forgive him.
Nor would the law.
