Chapter 2577
“Other than the Home Minister, the rest of the people refused to admit their doings. It
seems like Lucius has a lot of confidence.”
Nollace squinted and thought for a while. “I guess we can only try our luck on the Home
Minister.”
Since he was the only one willing to admit the guilt and take the blame, Lucius must have
threatened him.
Yorrick patted his shoulder. “We have only three days. Try your best.”
After that, he turned around and left.
Nollace came to the room that detained the Home Minister. The middle–aged man inside
looked haggard. Apparently, losing his freedom was not a pleasant experience.
When he saw Nollace, he was stunned for a moment, but he averted his gaze and remained
silent.

He gnashed his teeth and said, “I don’t understand what you are talking about, Your
Highness.”
“It’s okay. After all…” Nollace leaned on the door. “None of you are getting away with it.”
The Home Minister was stunned again, but he did not say anything.
“I heard that you love your daughter very much, right?”
His expression changed, and he said, “This has nothing to do with my daughter. I hope you
won’t get an innocent person into this, Your Highness.”
“If your daughter is innocent, then what about other people?”
Nollace turned around to look at him, and his face was bereft of emotion. “As far as I know,
you guys have cheated a lot of innocent businessmen into investment scams. They trusted
you guys, but you took advantage of their trust and scammed all their money. Some of
them even went bankrupt because of you.”
The Home Minister pressed his lips firmly and clenched his fists tightly.
Nollace chuckled. “Of course, they’re the ones who willingly jumped into the trap. After all,
everyone would have pushed their luck if there was an opportunity to earn a fortune before
them.
“However, even if they’re greedy, people like you who set up the trap for them and treat
them like sheep waiting to be slaughtered are not innocent either. It’s no wonder that even
my grandfather couldn’t get any evidence of Mr. Taylor’s deals. Even if something happens,
there are scapegoats like you who’ll take the blame for him.”
The Home Minister raised his head and looked at Nollace. “I’m guilty. I’m the one who did it.
Since I’m already here, I’ll accept whatever the result is.”
In other words, he was telling Nollace that he would not sell Lucius out no matter what he
asked. Nollace nodded. “Okay. But I’m afraid your wife and daughter won’t be able to
sustain their life after you’re sent to prison.”
“Your Highness!” The Home Minister shouted, “I told you that they have nothing to do with
this!”

“It doesn’t matter. What matters the most is whether you really think your family won’t be
affected if you become the scapegoat.” Nollace said, “Or do you think Lucius will treat your
family like you did or save you from prison?”
The Home Minister was stunned.
Nollace looked at him and continued. “Do you have any idea what your family will have to
go through while you’re serving your sentence in prison? Besides, this recording belongs to
you. You’ve disrupted all his plans and led the police to him. Do you really think he’ll let you
off the hook if you take the blame for him?”
The Home Minister pressed his lips thin and cold beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.
“Do you know that a female inmate was killed in prison? Are you sure that you won’t end up
like her? Sir, think carefully. When a boat is capsized, only one can live while others need to
die, including you.” Nollace looked at him one last time before leaving without turning his
head back.
