Nate was shocked out of a cold sweat by Jimmy’s words, and also instantly figured out what was at stake.
He angrily cursed in his heart, “No wonder Jimmy was so quick to sign the ten year agreement, it turns out that he trapped me!”
Exasperated, he stared at Jimmy with a murderous gaze, gritting his teeth and questioning, “Jimmy, what’s in it for you if you screw up like this? If it affects the law firm’s performance and profits, your own income will likewise be greatly affected, are you willing to break one of your own arms in exchange for one of my legs?”
Jimmy smiled slightly and asked him back, “We signed a base salary agreement, regardless of the law firm’s income? You have to pay me a fixed amount of fourteen million dollars every year, so no matter how much or how little you make in the future, my portion is constant, and in that case, I certainly won’t make it too easy for you.”
It was only at this moment that Nate suddenly remembered that Jimmy, the son of a b*tch, had not accepted the option he had given him, but had instead discounted the option for a cash dividend of ten million dollars a year.
Stupid self, previously thought that he was too small pattern, only look at the immediate, but now it seems that this guy has long been prepared for everything!
Nate stared at Jimmy with a hateful gaze and threatened, “Jimmy, I won’t pursue everything you just said, but I warn you, don’t continue to fight against me and don’t continue to reveal more hidden information, or else I definitely won’t let you go!”
Nate knew very well in his heart that he had taken Jimmy’s bait yesterday and sent him all the evidence he had on the others as well.
And Jimmy had just revealed just one of them, if he chose to reveal all of them, then all of these people would turn against him and treat him as their greatest enemy.
Therefore, the top priority now was to keep Jimmy’s mouth shut, and say nothing to allow him to expand his negative influence.
At this time, Steve on the side looked at Knight and asked in a cold voice, “If I heard correctly, just now you were threatening my friend?”
“Ah? Your friend?”Nate was first stunned, and then hurriedly said, “Mr Rothschild, you don’t know the secret of this, it was clearly him who set me up! I just signed a ten year agreement with him before I came …… ten years ah!”
Steve faintly said, “What is the hidden agenda in your case that I don’t know? Isn’t it that you deliberately found someone to create the opportunity for Jimmy and the other senior partners to make mistakes, and then grabbed them to blackmail them? Since you’ve played so dirty yourself, you can’t blame others for coming down hard on you as well.”
After saying that, he looked towards Jimmy and said in a loud voice, “Jimmy, since you already know a lot of your law firm’s hidden secrets and the core members of your law firm are basically all here now, then you might as well have a good chat with everyone about what you know, or so that everyone can recognise the true face of Ellis Law Firm.”
“Good!”Jimmy was waiting to fall on his sword, and when he saw that Steve had said so, he immediately picked up the microphone on the conference table and made to speak.
Nate was horrified to the core, never realising that he had originally planned to use these secrets along with the ten year contract to stabilise Jimmy, but Jimmy had turned his head and was about to expose himself to a flogging, and if all of those secrets were really told, all of these senior partners were afraid that they would hate themselves to the bone.
If they were to leave their law firm, what should they do? Expose their secrets and arrest them all? In that case, it will certainly trigger the shock of the whole American lawyers industry, then everyone will avoid themselves, in that case, how can the law firm operate in the future?
However, if you let them go directly, we keep secrets, unannounced, that is also a great loss for the law firm.
