Chapter 171

The phone rang for nearly forty seconds before Robert answered it.

After the call was answered, the person on the other end of the line remained silent.

From that, Robert could probably guess what Marilyn wanted to say.

Robert heaved a si gh and took the initiative to speak."See you at 6 p. m., Fairsaint Restaurant. I'll send you the private room number later."

After finishing his words, Robert hung up the phone and checked the time. It was almost time for him to drive directly to Fairsaint Restaurant.

At six o'clock in the evening, Robert looked at Marilyn sitting opposite him in a private room of Fairsaint Restaurant. Marilyn wore the same clothes as when he met her in the hospital the day before, and her hair was not washed. She put on a cap to cover her haggard face.

There were several snacks and a pot of coffee on the table between them. The duo had been silent since they met.

After a few minutes, Robert took the lead in breaking the silence.

"There's no room for discussion regarding thismatter. He broke the law and committed both crimes of assaulting and selling falsified medicines. If it weren't for the recording pen, what he had done would have destroyed Zabinski Group."

Robert's voice was soft, yet his words were firm.

Marilyn's body shook slightly. Although she had already assumed that Robert would not let things off, she still felt worried after receiving the affirmative answer.

After all, the perpetrator was her younger brother, the person she watched growing up.

However, what Robert said was true. Matthew broke the law and murdered for money.

"Mind your own business, Robert!"

The door was suddenly pushed open. Spencer and Lena, accompanied by Kendrick rushed into the private room.

The haggard pretty face of Marilyn looked anxious when she saw her parents."Dad, Mom, what are you doing here?”

"What are we doing here? Your brother will bedoomed if I'm not here. I asked you to do something, but you mentioned nothing about

it. Are you pretending to be dumb here?" Lena pointed at Marilyn with disappointment.

Spence r glanced at Robert and said,"Robert, right? My daughter mentioned you to me before. Maybe we can talk about this matter."

After saying that, Spencer sat opposite Robert and lit a cigarette."I know Matthew has gone too far, but he is still young and ignorant. Luckily, he had not caused trouble, and those who had taken falsified medicines were not in danger. We are willing to compensate. As for your assistant, she's not in danger, too. We can compensate her 300 thousand dollars. This is a very high price."

Robert smiled faintly."Mr. Quesnell, it's not up to me to deal with the crime. I neither have the qualifications nor the right to do that."

"Robert! Stop beating around the bush here!"Lena shouted."Why are you so ruthless? No one is dead. Why are you still targeting Matthew? Did the car hit you? Or did you take the falsified medicines? Nothing, right? Why are you putting up an act here? You have indeed transformed from a poor boy to the chairman of Zabinski Group, but you are always a poor guy in front of us. You should think about the consequences before doing something. Understand?"

"Robert." Spencer puffed on his cigarette andblew the smoke out."We know what the specific situation is like. You don't have sufficient evidence for the case and may not be able to win the case in court. Don't get into big trouble for a moment of pleasure. It's just an assistant and is not so important."
