As soon as those words were spoken, Victoria's face instantly turned pale.

"Master Osborn, please give me a little more time. I promise to give you a satisfactory explanation!" She clenched her fist tightly.

"Someone had set me up! They deliberately dumped the bodies on my territory and framed me for provoking Boss Jarett," she added. Hearing this, Augustus let out a cold smirk.

"Miss Jeanne, your explanation doesn't hold up. Are you telling me that you had no idea bodies were being dumped on your turf?"

Then, he crossed his legs nonchalantly and continued, "And what about your relationship with Kenny? Are you going to claim that's also a false accusation?"

"Umm..."

In response, Victoria hesitated.

It was true that allowing Kenny's men to roam freely on her territory had been a mistake as it could easily arouse suspicion from others.

However, that was not the main issue.

The crucial point was that there were bodies being dumped on her territory, and yet nobody had reported it to her.

She only found out about it after reading the news.

Could it be...

As this thought crossed her mind, Victoria slowly turned her head and looked at Rupert, who was sitting behind her.

However, he kept his head down, deliberately avoiding meeting her gaze.

At that very moment, a sudden realization struck Victoria like a heavy blow.

Rupert had betrayed her.

He had conspired with outsiders to set up a colossal trap for her!

Augustus' face revealed a smug smile. "Miss Jeanne, do you have anything else to say?"

Before she could answer, he immediately instigated,

"Everyone, you've seen it for yourselves. Victoria deliberately killed members of our Cole Gang in an attempt to provoke conflict in the underworld.

"We need to demand justice for our fallen brothers. Any objections?"

His words were crystal clear. It was now the crucial moment for everyone to take a stand.

Everyone exchanged glances and responded one after another.

"No objections. It's crystal clear that Victoria harbors treacherous intentions. She deserves severe punishment."

"Agreed! Boss Jarett is the backbone of the underworld in Solaris Province. Anyone who dares to challenge his authority is asking for trouble!"

"I'm with you! Let's take down the Jeanne Gang and wipe them out of the underworld for good."

Augustus nodded in satisfaction as the others pledged their support.

However, Victoria felt a chilling sensation running through her veins as she almost reached the point of despair.

At this moment, Kingsley, seated in the corner, slowly straightened his body. There was a touch of indifference playing at the corner of his mouth.

He had anticipated that Jarett would come up with some elaborate scheme or conspiracy.

It turned out to be nothing more than the same old frame-up and trap.

His motive for silently observing from the sideline was to see if the members of Cole Gang had any other tricks up their sleeves.

Now that he knew the opponent's trump card, it was his turn to take action.

Just as Kingsley was about to stand up with his hands on his knees, Cassius unexpectedly stood up before him.

Seeing this, he slowly sat back down.

He was curious to see what this man was up to.

Seeing Cassius suddenly standing up, Augustus raised an eyebrow. "Mr. White, what's wrong? Do you have any objections?"

Cassius' face was marked with concern as he responded, "I have something to say about Ashton.."

Just moments ago, he had grown increasingly fearful, sensing that the military had already set their sights on the underworld.

Before he could truly let his guard down, he had to solve the mystery of Ashton and Xanxus' downfall.

If he didn't address the issue promptly, the underworld of Solaris Province could be in grave danger.

However, Augustus just impatiently waved his hand. "Ashton is already dead! Why waste time on irrelevant matters? We should focus on resolving the killing of our Cole Gang's member." Securing the Sunshine Casino for Boss Jarett is all that matters to me!

Why the hell should I give a d*mn about how Ashton died?
