Chapter 98: Demonstration (10)(2/3)

Cyrus couldn't help but look at Paige, who shrugged at him and indicated that you are the boss and you should answer.

Cyrus thought to himself, this is your grandfather, he loves you as much as he loves you.

But he knew that after last time.

Peggy Morgenthau disagrees with the continued investigation of Smith Capital.

It was Cyrus who insisted, and Robert suddenly supported him later.

Only what happened yesterday happened.

Therefore, Cyrus had no choice but to continue: "As for Smith Capital, we have no evidence that they have violated the law.

It’s possible that the account books and information brought back are not all complete, or there may be some fraud in them.”

"That is to say." Robert said:

"Except for those two little shrimps, Smith Capital has no problems, is that what you mean?"

Somewhat unwillingly, Cyrus still nodded, "You can say that."

"That's fine."

Robert spoke:

"Temporarily seal the materials related to Sophia Kender and Jace Bledsos."

"Send back Smith Capital's information and ledgers."

"This matter is over for now."

Cyrus frowned, but fortunately there was no need for him to speak. This time Paige spoke.

"Mr. Morgenthau, do you mean not to prosecute Sophia Kender and Jess Bledsoe?"

"It's just temporary. We have enough information and evidence to send them to jail at any time." Robert responded to his granddaughter.

"But now is not the right time. Let's do it some time later."

Peggy looked at her grandfather's serious expression, nodded slightly and said no more.

Cyrus didn't even say a word, hoping that Peggy would take the initiative to communicate with Robert.

In fact, Cyrus really regrets it now.

Cyrus felt like he was being taken advantage of.

It was taken advantage of by Robert and some people behind Robert.

"Okay, let's leave it like this for now," Robert said.

"Cyrus, you can go out to work. Paige, please stay, I have something to tell you."

Cyrus stood up, nodded in agreement, and left without hesitation.

Peggy also stood up because she saw her grandfather standing up as well.

As a result, Robert handed Peggy the copy of today's New York Observer newspaper.

"Looking at the headlines, what do you think the Wolf of Wall Street wants to do?"

Peggy took the newspaper and read the headline on the front page. She was a little surprised.

"Uh~Okay, let me take a look." Peggy said.

Robert nodded and let his granddaughter read the newspaper.

He himself took a walk in the office, walked a few steps and then walked to the window, opened it and admired the street view outside.

Peggy read patiently, and within a few minutes she made the same judgment as her grandfather——

There's something wrong with the newspaper, Malcolm Gladwell must have been paid.

Because this is too much of a boast, not many people will believe it without charging money.

But at the same time, Paige also noticed that although many parts of this article were fictional and made up.

But there is also a lot of data that really exists.

For example, Smith's donations to those charitable foundations are very accurate.

This strengthened her belief that Malcolm Gladwell must have been paid to write this article.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for this young and famous writer to know these numbers so clearly.

She read half of it and felt that Malcolm Gladwell's writing was really good.

Just when I was about to continue reading, I suddenly heard my grandfather calling.

"Peggy, come here."

Peggy turned her attention away from the newspaper and looked up at her grandfather.

She found her grandfather at the window and waved to her.

"What's wrong, grandpapa?" Peggy walked over holding the newspaper.

She stood next to Robert, who was a head shorter than Robert.

Robert pointed downstairs and said softly: "You are a young man, your eyes should be better. Look over there, over at John Lard's Restaurant."

"Yeah." Paige looked over obediently.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has its office address in Upper Manhattan.

It is a 7-story building, all owned by the prosecutor's office.

Among them, Robert's office is on the third floor, where he can overlook the street view below while ensuring that the line of sight is clear enough.

"like."

Looking at the edge of the restaurant, near the prosecutor's office building.

"It seems to be Abel Smith. The one next to him also looks familiar."

"It looks familiar. That's Wayne LaPierre. You met him at your birthday party last month." Robert smiled.

"Chief vice president and CEO of the NRA Association?" Paige was surprised.

"Yes, that's him."

Robert said: "Cyrus and you just went to his company yesterday.

Today he showed up downstairs to have dinner with LaPierre."

"Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"No." Paige said with a serious face, "There is no such coincidence."

Robert took a deep breath. The Manhattan prosecutor especially didn't like this feeling of losing control of everything.

Downstairs, Hallard Restaurant.

Sitting by the window on the first floor, Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the National Rifle Association, said with admiration:

“This, this is really Abel, you are such an excellent member!!

I must tell the board of directors and tell them about your support and help to the association!"

The CEO of the nra association looked a little excited.

The reason why he was excited was because of the young man in front of him just now.

Promise him that within the next six months.

The other party will donate US$8 million to NRA.

Even if NRA is a behemoth with 5 million members and annual revenue of over 400 million US dollars.

A donation of eight million US dollars is still a huge amount of money for the NRA.

This is equivalent to 2% of the NRA's annual income, and is almost equivalent to the one-year membership dues of 400,000 Rifle Association members.

Facing the CEO, Abel smiled and said: "I am a lifelong member of the NRA Association. Now that I have the ability, I should naturally give feedback to the association."

The annual membership fee for NRA is US$30, and renewal for one year is only US$19.99.

It is very cheap and even poor people can join.

For $1,500 you can become a lifetime member and get a leather jacket with the association's logo.

It's easy to join, which is why it has more than five million members.

This tax-exempt non-profit organization has always been very interested in participating in the American House of Cards.

Its impact on both parties has always been at the forefront.

No matter who it is, as long as they want to play in the American house of cards.

You have to worry about NRA's attitude.

"Hahaha~" Wayne LaPierre said:

"If all people in nra were like you, then nra would definitely be better."
