Chapter 143

Josh rubbed the rosary bracelet on his wrist with his fingers and it down coldly opposite him.

“You’re right,” Tom said, looking bleak and dejected “Actually, Natalie’s doping scandal at the Rhythm Revolution is a pure Talsification. She was wrunged. I was the one who gave her that glass of water.”

There was a hint of coldness in Josh’s eyes.

Tom smiled bitterly, lost in his remembrance, “Those photos are indeed fake and photoshopped. I gave her that glass of amphetamine water when she took a break backstage?

Josh squinted.

“That silly girl drank it up without hesitation,” “Tom continued, looking up at him sarcastically and madly. “One of the biggest taboos for dancers is to avoid eating recklessly before the competition for fear of being set up by their peers. But guess what? Natalie didn’t drink any water all day. She took that glass of water without doubt because I handed it to her. Don’t you think she is stupid”

Josh pursed his lips and tightened his jaw. “Why did you do that?” he asked in a low and oppressive voice.

“For money. It’s very simple. I did it for money, Tom answered honestly.

Tom smiled sadly. “My wife was diagnosed with kidney failure a year ago. She lay in the hospital bed every day, with all kinds of tubes all over her body. After pulling some strings, I managed to find a compatible kidney, but I was told that it was intended for someone else.

“Then what?” Jonathan Hodge, the chief of the National Police Bureau, asked with a frown.

“Then what? The doctor at that hospital told me he could help my wife get that kidney only if I paid him one million dollars, Tom sneered.

“So you actually did it?” Jonathan asked in disbelief. “If you got the kidney, what about the patient waiting for that kidney?”

“I don’t care! It has nothing to do with me! I only care about my wife! Tom roared

Aside from the sound of the fan, everything in the interrogation room was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop.

“Go ahead!” Josh said, gently fidgeting with the rosary bracelet on his wrist.

Tom held his head in his hands and said miserably, “B–But I didn’t have one million dollars at that time. After working at Gobis University for so many years, I have a good salary. In addition, I have bonuses, cash prizes, and extra income from giving lectures. But if I hadn’t donated all of my money to charity and helped those poor children, I could have already saved one million dollars:

Tom’s voice choked with sobs, “But I didn’t! One million dollars can buy my wife’s life!”

No one spoke on the spot.

Jonathan and the other people felt sympathy for Tom.

Tom raised his head and wiped the tears from his eyes. “At that time, a strange man suddenly came to me. He promised to give me one million dollars if I did one thing for him. I was so desperate that I had no choice but to take his offer.”

Who is that man?” Jonathan pressed.

“I don’t know.” Tom shook his head. “I really don’t know. He’s so secretive that he has never shown me fiis face. Even his mobile phone number is also encrypted”

Chapter 143

“What on earth did he ask you to do?” Jonathan asked.

הילד!

“He asked me to give Natalie that glass of amphetamine water and leaked those photoshopped nude photos to ruin her reputation before announcing the winner of the Rhythmn Revolution, Tom replied with a smile.

Jonathan clenched his fists and frowned.

After a long moment of silence, Josh said slowly. “But she’s your student. She respects you so much.”

“Yeah, she’s my student, Tom replied, looking crazy. His eyes turned red. “She’s the best student I’ve ever had. Without that scandal, she would have become the pride of Gobis University and the best dancer in the country. I would also be proud to have such an outstanding student like her in my life.”

Tom sneered while weeping, “Sadly, none of these happened…”

Josh’s fingers tightened slightly on the rosary bracelet, and a fleeting shadow of menace crossed his

gaze.

Tom looked up at Josh’s cold face and smiled madly. “Don’t be so angry. I used to be a good person. I taught every student at Gobis University with seriousness, fostered innumerable famous dancers, received the National Excellent Teacher Award, donated money to charities, and helped poor children. But a good person also has his weaknesses. He will be in a life–and- death struggle and feel helpless sometimes.”
