Chapter 169

Sitting in the long-awaited commercial vehicle, Kendrick nodded at Leon and signaled him to speak.

Leon nodded and said,"Matthew was charged with two cases now. The first case was about selling falsified medicines. Fortunately, during the process of selling the medicines, no invoice was issued, which means there was no legal effect here. There was no evidence that the falsified medicines in the hands of patients were bought from Fortuna Hall. Since the falsified medicines hidden in Fortuna Hall had already been destroyed, the police couldn't find direct evidence to convict the crime. And I already checked with Matthew. He hadn't touched the falsified medicines he used to frame others and left no fingerprints on the medicines. So, as long as he refuses to admit anything, no one can do anything about it."

After Leon finished speaking, Spence r and Lena looked much more relaxed.

"What about the other charge?" Lena hurriedlyasked again.

"It's about Matthew deliberately hittingsomeone by car, which is debatable." Leon glanced at Marilyn and continued, "There were

no surveillance cameras around but only one witness at that time. In some cases, the witness shall not be used as evidence for sentencing. In other words, this matter can be judged as negligence or an intentional tort. The specific situation depends on how we're going to manage it. If it's a negligence tort, only medical expenses need to be compensated."

"Compensate for it, then! How much does shewant? 150 thousand dollars? Or 300 thousand dollars? Just give it to her!" Lena shouted.

Leon frowned."The crux of this matter is whether the other party is willing to settle it in private now. As far as I know, the injured person is the assistant of Robert, the chairman of Zabinski Group, and they are a couple. I'm afraid the other party doesn't care about the amount of money at all. Therefore, it'll be best if we can send someone as the lobbyist. Marilyn, you and Robert used to be lovers. If you could persuade him not to pursue the matter, everything would be easy to solve. As for the recording, just leave it to me. The recording has only sounds but no pictures. I can turn the tables even if everything is showing Matthew hit someone on purpose."

Leon had absolute confidence in turning the tables.

"Marilyn, I'll leave it to you. Since you knowRobert, you should go and tell him," Lena ordered directly,

Marilyn bit her red lips and thought,"Go and tell him? What can I say? The truth was Matthew sold falsified medicines and deliberately hit someone after being caught. Now the injured is still in the hospital. How can I be so shameless and beg Robert for mercy?"

She could not bring herself to reject Lena because Matthew was her younger brother.

Even though one should be fair and selfless, no one could bear to watch their family stay in prison for the rest of their lives when things happen to their own family.

"Marilyn, say something!" Lena was furiouswhen she did not get any response from Marilyn."Go find Robert and make him let Matthew out of trouble. Do you hear me?"

"I…" Marilyn stopped herself from sayingsomething. Seeing the expressions on her parents' faces, she took a deep breath and changed her mind."Let me give it a try."

"You're not giving it a try but to make Robertgive up! Otherwise, Matthew's life will be ruined!" Lena's voice was loud and indisputable.

Marilyn did not say anything more.

At Yrinas Firstmon t Hospital, Robert walked into the intensive care unit after attending the meeting.

A young man about eighteen years old was standing by the bed. It was Sophia's younger brother.

Sophia's condition was much better now. Robert had asked the doctor, and it wouldn't take long for her to discharge from the hospital.
