In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 364 Accident? Premeditated?
New Jersey, Fort Dix Prison.

The heavy iron door was pushed open by the prison guard, and a man wearing prison uniform and handcuffs walked in.

"Half an hour, you know the rules." The prison guard reminded before leaving.

Steven Hoffenberg looked at the strange man in front of him.

"You're not my lawyer." He didn't sit down.

"I'm employed by another gentleman. We mean no harm." George adjusted his glasses.

"Which investor do you represent? I have already paid the fine. Those money makers should go to the SEC or Epstein. He bought a lot of assets cheaply and I was robbed by him." Steven Hoffen Berg said with some resistance.

"Yes, we should talk about Jeffrey Epstein." George nodded.

In an instant, Steven Hoffenberg realized George’s intention.

"I don't want to talk about him." Steven Hoffenberg finally shook his head.

"The people you have promoted are now living happily on your private jet. Those who should belong to you, don't you want revenge?"

"I wish he would go to hell right now, but..." Steven Hoffenberg trailed off.

"Your employer is Wexner, right? Why, he also found that his property disappeared inexplicably, and Epstein suddenly had a lot of savings?" Steven Hoffenberg raised his eyebrows.

George neither denied nor denied.

"Then let him get lost. This is my only advice and the most appropriate solution." Only then did Steven Hoffenberg sit across from George.

"You seem to be afraid of him?" George saw something.

"I'm afraid of him... I just don't want to offend a big shot. This brat has a very deep background." Steven Hoffenberg shook his head.

"We hope you will be able to provide testimony if necessary, anonymously of course."

"Everyone knows that Epstein designed the financing plan. He is the real mastermind. I don't need to testify."

"Even if it's just to provide the names of a few other parties involved."

"I still want to live for a few more years. At least I have to get out of prison alive."

"Yes, you want to see your daughter when you go out. She is now in middle school, boarding at your sister's house, and has changed her surname. No one knows her relationship with you." George smiled.

As one of Towers Perrin's lawyers at the time, George had access to some unknown secrets about Steven Hoffenberg.

"Bastard!" Steven Hoffenberg jumped up and rushed towards George.

The prison guard outside immediately opened the iron door and pulled the two people apart.

"It doesn't matter." George, who was thrown to the ground, straightened his tie.

"Don't touch her!" growled Steven Hoffenberg.

"Of course, we don't intend to hurt anyone." George nodded.

·
After coming out of prison in New Jersey, George immediately told Ethan the exact conversation he had with Ethan.

"He was willing to cooperate, and his testimony was sufficient to convict Epstein..." George concluded.

Although George's price was high, the work was done quickly.

With the key witness in hand, Epstein looks like a piece of meat ready to be slaughtered.

As for the "big shot" in Steven Hoffenberg's words, although Epstein was a man who pretended to be powerful, Isen would rather believe that he was there than not...

Therefore, Ethan would not reveal this trump card unless absolutely necessary.

"Stop it, it's all over here." Ethan said.

Putting down his cell phone, Ethan heard his teammates not far away talking about a major event that happened some time ago. The impeachment case failed to pass with 55 votes against and 45 votes in favor, which meant that Mei Lianzong retained his position.

Of course, the reason for initiating impeachment is not a lack of personal ethics, but "perjury" and "obstruction of justice."

"DNA was found on Lewinsky's dress, and think about what two people do every day in the Oval Office."

"He is still arguing that Levinsky was just playing the flute, and it is not inappropriate. So, wouldn't every intern be able to do this?"

"Don't forget, it also includes stuffing cigars. Is this part of the job of an intern? He swore that he would leave nothing behind."

"These politicians are always so hypocritical."

"By the way, Ethan, have you seen Levinsky?" someone asked Ethan who was passing by.

Ethan shook his head.

Speaking of which, he was also an alumnus of Levinsky. They both came from Beverly High School, but she had graduated before Ethan enrolled, so the two had never met.

Ethan turned to the young teammates who had gathered to chat.

"Our Oval Office discussion is over, now comes the Peyton Manning discussion."

The Indianapolis Colts are on a roll this year, and whether the Angels can advance to the playoffs is at stake, and Ethan takes it very seriously.

The first step in the hope of breaking through the Colts' defense is the "Jet Screen". After being used proficiently, this tactic has become the symbol of the Angels, helping the Angels defeat several opponents.

Just like the Rams' high-altitude bombing, there is nothing that NFL teams can do with this tactic.

In addition, Ethan also has a secret weapon that he can rely on.

"Ethan, if there is an accident, you have to wear gloves." Andy also came over and said to Ethan.

Since the middle of the season, Ethan and Andy have been secretly conducting a special training. Early in the morning before the two selected players arrived, after a long period of intermittent attempts, Andy felt that he already had the skills to appear in the game. To the extent that, except for the two of them, even Holmgren didn't know that Ethan had this ability.

"Of course, if the team is pushed to a dead end, I will give Peyton Manning a surprise." Ethan nodded.

After today's training, Ethan returned to the office.

Catherine and Kelsey are already here waiting for Ethan. They have also finished their work for the day.

There is no word "confinement" in the dictionary of European and American women. They have no concept of it at all. Three days after completing the delivery, they returned to work. Ethan was a little nervous at first, but then he discovered that the two of them were really Everything was business as usual. Kelsey even returned to dance training a week later, and all she could say was: physical differences.

Today, the two have regained their slim figures, their abdomens are still firm and smooth, and there are no stretch marks at all. In addition to their physical fitness, they also owe it to strict nutrition and dietary habits, and of course, beauty technology. of blessing.

"Tyra Banks is really a big talker..." Catherine said, she was tit for tat with Tyra Banks regarding the conditions of the contract.

"Promise her that she will bring enough rewards."

Ethan said, speaking of it, if Heidi Klum is not counted, Tyra Banks was the first A-list model to defect to him.

Seeing that Ethan had already spoken, Catherine no longer insisted.

"Ethan, should the Angel Cheerleaders prepare to start a new round of recruitment?" Kelsey suggested.

The eight people at the beginning were busy for the entire season. Although there were honorary members among them, the work was still too busy compared to other cheerleading teams. Now that the season is coming to an end, it is time for a new round of personnel expansion.

"You can't find the person you like through regular interviews." Ethan shook his head.

"I will try a new plan after the season." Ethan said. Seeing that Ethan already had an idea, Kelsey could only nod.

"We're talking about work again. We work all day long and we don't have a private life anymore." Grace also walked into the office at this time.

Compared to the two people who have returned to work, Grace has stuck to her job from beginning to end. Recently, Ethan has barely interfered with the daily operations of the club and has completely stepped aside. Grace has to be busy with her daily work and also responsible for the cheerleading team. It makes her extremely busy.

"Catherine is back, she will share the burden for you." Ethan shrugged.

The original arrangement was just right, but who knew something unexpected would happen, such as pregnancy.

"I don't care, Catherine has rested for such a long time, now it's my turn." Grace hugged Ethan tightly.

Ethan feels that it is necessary to hire professional managers next season.

Finding a good professional manager may be more difficult than finding a good coach.

Ethan is going to ask the BDW family for advice to see if they have anyone they can recommend.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door was pushed open again.

"It turns out to be a family gathering." As soon as she entered the door, Charlotte saw Ethan leaning on the large desk, holding one in his arms, and there were two others sitting beside him, and she immediately joked.

She was called over by Ethan to handle the sponsorship of the cheerleading team, and there were still some finishing touches left.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ethan, who was holding Grace.

"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?" Charlotte glanced at the three women around Ethan, and finally looked at Ethan.

"I've been here for so long and I haven't visited your home yet. As a partner, why would you invite me to visit?" she said with a smile.

"I also want to see how your family runs."

"I have no objection, as long as they are willing." Ethan gestured to the three people around him with his eyes.

"Of course." Kelsey agreed directly.

As the head of the cheerleading team, Charlotte helped a lot this time, and of course she welcomed it.

"There's nothing to see." Grace let go of her hand and shook her head.

Finally everyone looked at Catherine.

"As a partner of the Angels, it's really hard to refuse a request for a visit." Catherine laughed.

So Charlotte went home with Ethan and others.

The spacious house did not surprise Charlotte, but she was very curious about the woman around Ethan.

During the meal, I asked many questions.

"Wouldn't you be angry watching Ethan make out with other women?"

"Of course, especially at the beginning, but now everyone is used to it, and they think it's good to be more lively." Catherine explained patiently.

"You also saw Ethan on the playing field. Several people couldn't hold him back. This is the reality. We can only work together to deal with him." Grace shrugged.

"I met Ethan late, so I don't have any objection anyway." Kelsey also followed.

Charlotte's provocation was perfectly resolved by the three of them.

"Charlotte, since your father has no objection, don't leave tonight. Aren't you curious?" Lisa also smiled at this time.

Crazy, these people are crazy! Charlotte smiled on the surface, but she was thinking this in her heart.

After finishing the meal, the frightened Charlotte hurriedly said goodbye and left.

In the evening, Catherine told Ethan about the family New Year's party, and she wanted to go to Walker's Point Manor with Ethan. This is a private estate on the East Coast that has become an important gathering place for the family.

Across the new century, Ethan certainly wants everyone to stay together at such an important moment, but the BDW family really needs to move around. They are the second largest shareholder. Now that the stadium matter is in a stalemate, the family's opinion is very important. , In addition, Ethan also wants to find a suitable professional manager through his family.

After much thought, Ethan decided to go with Catherine.

·
"The spectacular regular season of the last season of the 20th Century is about to come to an end, and until the last round, the American League West Division games are still very close."

"This game will see the Angels visiting the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have performed very well this season. Peyton Manning, the first overall pick in last year's draft, led the Colts to a great season."

"They have already locked up a qualifying spot in the American League East, but they still have to compete with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first seed in the American League. This game is very important to them."

"As for the Angels, they must win this game to ensure they advance to the playoffs!"

In the player tunnel, Ethan, who was standing at the front, put on his helmet and was gearing up to lead his teammates on the field, when a phone call interrupted his rhythm.

The caller was George, the lawyer who had been entrusted by him before.

"Steven Hoffenberg is dead. He died of a heart attack in his cell three days ago. The prison did not issue an autopsy report. I just learned the news." George said on the phone.

This scene felt familiar to Ethan, just like Epstein's mysterious death many years later.

Epstein personally told reporters that he had too many "secrets of big people" that could kill him.

Today’s Epstein is not so capable, and Ethan feels that someone else is responsible.

At this time, the staff signaled that the Angels players could come on stage, and Ethan asked the players to leave first while he stayed here.

"Have you been threatened?" Ethan asked.

"No, not at all."

"Anyway, please be safe. I think the other party already knows our movements."

"It's not us, it's me. I didn't reveal your existence from beginning to end."

"Need protection?" Ethan asked.

"That's no need, I'm very safe now, and I think it's more like an accident, what a coincidence. If it's not an accident, then it's a warning. Like you said before, it's all over it's over."

After Ethan hung up the phone, he saw all the Colts players at home arriving in the tunnel, ready to take the field.

"Ethan, why didn't you play?" Peyton Manning noticed Ethan and was stunned for a moment.

"To wait for you." Ethan handed the phone to the Angels staff.

"To wait for me?"

"Yes, I know I gave you many nightmares."

"Do you think you can continue to win this time?" Peyton Manning sneered.

The next second, the two people who were at war with each other suddenly embraced each other.

Although the two have been rivals from beginning to end, they have become familiar with each other over the past few years, and have developed a feeling of sympathy for each other.

As a result, a rare scene occurred in front of the audience and the camera, where Ethan and Peyton Manning appeared side by side.
