Chapter 530
Chapter 530:
Beal was different from Jacoby. He had always been more capable than his younger brother. In fact, he had gained the attention of his family at a very young age, and his mental fortitude was remarkably strong.
Although he was beginning to waver, he felt that Ashton’s words were bait, meant to draw something out of him. He swore he would never fall for such interrogation tactics. So, he closed his eyes without saying a word, completely ignoring Ashton.
When Ashton saw this, he raised an eyebrow, tilted his head, and looked at Beal with a playful smirk on his lips. “It seems you don’t believe me. Then, I will share some interesting information with you. For instance… the warehouse used by the Dark Night Organization for their underground research is actually owned by a subsidiary of your Sup Group. Also, you participated in the land bidding last time because you intended to provide a venue for your organization’s activities. And the two pharmaceutical companies that suddenly went bankrupt six months ago? They posed a threat to you. A reporter who seemed to be investigating the Dark Night Organization was abruptly stopped by a traffic accident you orchestrated. Am I right?”
Beal remained silent, but his expression betrayed him. As Ashton continued to lay bare each piece of information, the tension on his face grew more palpable.
After all, everything Ashton said about the Marquez family and the Dark Night Organization was true. But how could Ashton possibly know so many intricate details? The only plausible answer was Jacoby.
When Ashton noticed the subtle changes in Beal’s expression, he couldn’t help but smile inwardly. He could tell his words were hitting their mark.
Actually, all the information he mentioned had been gathered by Milena. It would be used as evidence against the Marquez family.
At first, he wasn’t sure if all the information was accurate. But seeing Beal’s reaction now, he already had his answer. Beal desperately tried to suppress his emotions, fighting to keep his face impassive. Inside, however, his mind and heart were a chaotic storm.

Could that fool Jacoby have really betrayed him completely just to reduce his sentence?
Beal clenched his fists and shook his head slightly, trying to dispel the nagging thought that Jacoby had betrayed him.
Jacoby wasn’t smart, but he was afraid of death. He knew the consequences of revealing any information about the Dark Night Organization, so he wouldn’t say anything easily.
Anything. Beal tried to convince himself that Jacoby, despite his shortcomings, wouldn’t betray him.
Beal was confident in his understanding of Jacoby. They were brothers, after all. So, he gritted his teeth and chose to remain silent.
Looking at Beal, Ashton couldn’t help but feel a twinge of admiration for his resilience. Indeed, this man was tough and unyielding.
Actually, Ashton didn’t interrogate Jacoby because he knew Jacoby was a spoiled brat who didn’t know as much as Beal did. However, Ashton recognized Jacoby’s worth despite his limitations. He could use Jacoby as a crucial chess piece to destabilize Beal’s mental fortitude.
