Chapter 789

Jonah was enraged. “James, get lost in your room! You said you’re not gonna solve this issue, so youhave no right to say anything!”

James refuted arrogantly, “This is my house, so why can’t I say anything? Jonah, why are you making ascene in my house? I have the right to chase you out of my house!”

Then, Jonah leaped off the couch. “Try to do it to me then!”

“Matthew, call the police now!” James bellowed. “Just tell them someone has broken into our house in anattempt to rob us!”

Helen suddenly took a cup from the table and hurled it to the ground before she snarled, “All of you,shut up!”

While all of them were astounded, she pointed at her husband. “You, get back into your room! Matthew,go to your room upstairs!”

James and Matthew traded glances with each other and decided to remain on the same spot. The father-in-law and son-in-law came to an agreement this time, which was a rare occurrence.

She roared, “What the heck! Even you two won’t listen to me now?”

Sasha uttered in a small voice, “Mom, we should try to solve this problem first. Matthew has manyfriends, so maybe he can help.”

Upon hearing that, Helen came to the realization that her daughter was right. Matthew was friends withbig shots like Tiger and Stanley, so he could possibly help solve the problem. With a different expression,she looked at him and said, “Matthew, well… Why don’t you have a seat first? How do you think we canhandle this matter now?”

James wanted to say something, but when he saw Sasha’s glare, he could only keep his mouth shut.

“Mom,” Matthew answered. “It’s fortunate enough that the person is still alive. As for how to settle thisissue, it’s not up to us.”

Helen responded in a low voice, “I know, but if we do nothing, your cousin-in-law might be put behindbars.”

Chloe started to sob. “Helen, Tate cannot go to jail. He’s still young. If he’s thrown behind bars, his lifewill be over.”

Jonah barked, “If my son goes to jail, I won’t let all of you off!”

Helen hurriedly pacified, “Calm down. We’re trying to come up with a solution now. Matthew, what canwe do?”

Matthew felt helpless as he genuinely didn’t have any idea on how to settle it. Then, he suggested, “Whydon’t I look for a lawyer and ask him about it?”

She immediately agreed. “Contact him now!”

After that, Matthew gave Stanley a call. A short while later, a man clad in a suit arrived at their home. “Hi,I’m from the Carlson Law Firm. My name is Craig Manning. It was Mr. Carlson who told me to comehere. Please tell me about the case in detail.”

The man was respectful to Matthew because Stanley had personally called him to help with this issue.Upon listening to Matthew’s narration, Craig knitted his brows together. “He was drunk driving without alicense and even went street racing. Even a single charge is enough to get him sentenced to jail. Mr.

Larson… This case is indeed difficult to handle. Based on precedent cases in the past, I estimate thathe’ll be sentenced to jail for three to five years.”

Chloe’s eyes rolled before she passed out, upon which Helen quickly pressed her fingers against hersister’s philtrum and urged, “Matthew, tell him to come up with a solution now. He’s your cousin-in-law, soyou can’t let him go to jail!”

A helpless Matthew asked, “Mr. Manning, are there other ways?”

After giving it a thought, Craig replied, “Well, the most important thing is whether the victim is willing toforgive him. We also have to deal with fines and compensation. If we can do these two things well on topof making sure that you’re polite to the victim, then maybe we can do something about it.”

Jonah immediately asked, “How much are the fines and compensation?”

Craig shook his head. “I can’t give you any numbers now, but it won’t be a small sum.”

Shifting his attention to Helen, Jonah demanded, “I don’t care. You have to fork out the money for us!”
