Chapter 492: Conclusive Evidence (Up for recommendation, please follow!)

"How is that possible?" The square-faced middle-aged man who had raised doubts earlier shook his head vigorously, "Mr. Poli might go to the United States to seek refuge, but he would never collude with the French people!"

"Mr. Cesare, then why did he embezzle the money Mr. Chalmers funded to the Restoration organization?" Bartolomeo said coldly.

"Obviously, Mr. Poli went to the United States with the intention of retiring," Girolamo immediately added fuel to the fire, "He took that twenty-five thousand British Pounds as his pension."

The crowd nodded in agreement:

"That's probably the only explanation."

"He might also have received a sum of money from the French."

"That wouldn't be surprising, he might have been assassinated by the French if he hadn't compromised."

Only Cesare remained unconvinced, but he evidently could not find a reason to refute the argument and just shook his head persistently.
