Chapter 3165 He Set Me Up

Knight was so frightened by Jimmy's words that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he instantly understood the interests involved.

He cursed in his heart: "No wonder Jimmy signed the ten-year agreement so readily, it turns out he was trying to trap me!"

Furious, he stared at Jimmy with murderous eyes and asked through gritted teeth: "Jimmy, what good will it do you? If it affects the performance and profits of the law firm, your own income will also be greatly affected. Are you willing to cut off one of your arms in exchange for one of my legs?"

Jimmy smiled and asked him back, "We signed a basic salary agreement, regardless of the law firm's income. You have to pay me a fixed amount of 14 million US dollars every year, so no matter how much money you make in the future, my share of the money will be constant. In this case, of course I will not let you have it too easy."

Knight suddenly remembered at this moment that Jimmy, the bastard, did not accept the options he gave him, but used the options to discount the annual cash dividend of 10 million.

Foolishly, I thought he was too narrow-minded and only focused on the present, but now it seems that this guy has already made all the preparations!

Knight stared at Jimmy with hatred and threatened, "Jimmy, I will not pursue all the things you just said, but I warn you, don't continue to oppose me, and don't continue to reveal more secrets, otherwise I will never let you go!"

Knight knew very well that he had been fooled by Jimmy yesterday and sent him all the evidence he had on other people.

Jimmy just said one of them. If he chose to say all of them, these people would turn against him and regard him as their biggest enemy.

Therefore, the top priority now is to control Jimmy's mouth and not let him expand the negative impact no matter what.

At this time, Steve on the side looked at Knight and asked coldly: "If I heard correctly, were you threatening my friend just now?"

"Ah? Your friend?" Knight was stunned for a moment, then he quickly said, "Mr. Rothschild, you don't know the hidden truth. It's obviously him who set me up! I just signed a ten-year agreement with him before I came here... ten years!"

Steve said calmly, "How could I not know what's going on here? Didn't you deliberately find someone to create opportunities for Jimmy and other senior partners to make mistakes, and then use them to blackmail them? Since you played such a dirty trick yourself, you can't blame others for being ruthless to you."

After that, he looked at Jimmy and said loudly: "Jimmy, since you already know a lot of secrets of your law firm, and now the core members of your law firm are basically all here, you might as well talk to everyone about what you know, so that everyone can see the true face of Ellis Law Firm."

"Okay!" Jimmy was waiting to add insult to injury, but when he heard Steve say that, he immediately picked up the microphone on the conference table and was about to speak.

Knight was extremely horrified. He never expected that he had originally intended to use these secrets and the ten-year contract to stabilize Jimmy, but Jimmy turned around and wanted to expose and whip his corpse. If those secrets were really told out, these senior partners would probably hate him to the core.

If they want to leave his law firm, how should he deal with it? Expose all their secrets and arrest them all? If so, it will inevitably cause a shock to the entire American legal profession, and everyone will avoid him. In that case, how can the law firm operate in the future?

However, if they were allowed to leave directly and everyone kept the secret, it would be a huge loss for the law firm.

You have to know that many of the evidence is obtained by directly handing ready-made cases to them, which is equivalent to giving them money in exchange for their evidence. If these evidence is not used in the end, then the money will be wasted.

By that time, both people and money would be lost, and the backbone of the entire Ellis Law Firm would be lost, resulting in heavy losses.

So, he said to Jimmy in a pleading tone: "Jimmy, we are colleagues. If you have any demands, you can tell me directly. There is no need to destroy the internal unity of the law firm..."

Before Jimmy could speak, Eric, who was just named by Jimmy, shouted loudly: "Jimmy, tell us all the secrets that concern us! If Knight really has something on any of us, we must unite and fight together! Otherwise, if he defeats us one by one, we will all be doomed!"

Eric was feeling angry and scared at the moment. Although Knight's behavior of playing tricks on him was shameless, the mistake was his own after all. It felt like a wife deliberately finding another woman to secretly hook up with her husband in order to get more property in the future divorce. Although this behavior was indeed very vulgar, once the man really couldn't resist the temptation and had an affair with that woman, it would confirm the fact of cheating and it would be impossible to wash it off.

Therefore, his idea now is very simple. He can hear from the conversation between Jimmy and Knight that Knight must have set a trap for more than just himself. It is very likely that other senior partners have also fallen into the trap without knowing it. So the best way now is to let Jimmy tell everyone else's affairs, and everyone can form an alliance and advance and retreat together. In this way, it will be more certain to deal with Knight.

Although the others remained silent, they all knew clearly that since Knight could set a trap for Eric, the other senior partners would probably not be able to escape. In the past few years, they had all been tempted to take orders privately or directly intercept the company's orders. Although they could not be sure which of those behaviors were high-risk, they could guess that Knight must have something on them, so the top priority now was to figure out how big the risk was for them.

Then, a crowd of people spoke up.

Someone said, "Jimmy, since everyone is here, you might as well tell us everything you know!"

"Yeah, Jimmy! Eric is right, we must stand together at this time!"

"Jimmy, don't be afraid. With Mr. Rothschild here and our support, no one dares to do anything to you!"

Jimmy nodded, picked up the microphone, and said, "Since everyone is so united, I will tell you what I know. What I want to explain first is that all the senior partners, including me, have evidence in the hands of Knight and the board of directors that can send us to jail!"

After these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became even more nervous.

Knight saw that things had come to this point, and hurriedly explained palely: "Don't be enlightened by Jimmy. I admit that I did take some extraordinary precautions for the stability of the team and the company's business, but I will not use these secrets against you unless it is absolutely necessary..."

Jimmy snorted coldly, "Don't have any illusions about Knight. Although he hasn't exposed your handle yet, he will betray you without hesitation if necessary!"

After that, he continued, "Just two days ago, I had a small misunderstanding with Mr. Rothschild in Jinling. After Knight found out, he either fired me from the law firm or gave all my evidence to Mr. Rothschild's butler and sent me to jail. If Mr. Rothschild and I hadn't reconciled, I'm afraid I would have been arrested by the FBI now!"
