Chapter 804

Courtesy of Mr Manning

As Justin Lowry stepped into the villa, he was amazed by how luxurious it was.

Hearing what Helen said, he immediately answered, “Mrs. Cunningham, this matter isn’t as simple as
you think. First of all, are you aware of the victim’s background and condition?”

At once, she shook her head.

Justin then continued, “The victim’s name is Bonds and he is a very rich man. He has numerous
properties under his name, not including two companies of his own. And to be frank, 1.6 million or 3
million, those amounts have no difference to him.”

At this moment, Minerva cut in. “Since there’s no difference, why is he asking for money? He’s already
so rich. So why is he trying to scam us? What kind of person is he?”

Hearing that, Justin wasn’t happy. Giving Minerva a side-eye, he voiced out, “Miss, I have to remind you.
First and foremost, this is not a scam. Since you are asking for forgiveness, it is only right to pay them
back. Of course, if you are not willing to compensate, we can always follow the standard procedure.
However, from my experience, a drunk driver who has no license, sped, and not to mention, allegedly
looked for a scapegoat could get locked behind the bars for at least 5 years!”

Upon hearing that, Chloe was about to tear up.

“Mr. Lowry, my son… cannot go to jail. Please think of a way to help him! Please, I beg you!”

He then replied, “Am I not helping you now? I did the best I could. Thanks to that, they only agreed on
the 3 million as settlement. Do you guys think that agreement was done easily? Mr. Tilly’s daughter was
hit by a person who sped, and now she’s crippled and still bound to the bed. Needless to say, he
despises such people a lot. He’ll be very happy to have your son locked in jail for the rest of his life!”





Hearing that, Chloe was stumped. Jonah then urged, “Mr. Lowry, you’re the professional. What do you
think we should do now?”

With a shrug, Justin said, “Give him what he’s asking for. 3 million must not be a big issue for a family
like yours. Just this house alone must be worth tens of millions. So, there’s no need to ruin the kid’s
future just because of this small amount, right?”

Obviously, Justin had assumed that the house belonged to Jonah’s family.

At this moment, Jonah, Chloe, and Minerva were quiet as they put on an awkward expression.

After a brief moment, Minerva said in a low tone, “Mr. Lowry, prior to this… didn’t they agree on 1.6
million? Why did they raise it to 3 million?”

Nodding, he replied, “I know about the 1.6 million bargain. That deal was discussed with the victim by Mr.
Manning himself! However, I really don’t understand what you guys were thinking. How could you offend
Mr. Manning at that time? Do you not know that it was courtesy of Mr. Manning that he could get an
amount as such? He had helped Mr. Tilly in the past, so Mr. Tilly did so as a favor. Mr. Manning had used
his ties with Mr.Tilly to help save up some money for you guys! No other lawyer would be able to get a
settlement fee below 3 million in this matter. In fact, the victim may not even be willing to settle at all! Not
only did you guys not feel grateful, but you thought Mr. Manning tried to scam your money? Had I known
earlier, I wouldn’t have been involved in this matter!”

The way he spoke sounded like he was very annoyed.

At this moment, Jonah, Chloe, and Minerva were completely dumbfounded.

Recalling how they had shamed and scolded him, they felt embarrassed to no end.



Previously, they had even thought that Mr. Manning was trying to scam their money.

It seemed that they had misunderstood Mr. Manning!

It was courtesy of Mr. Manning that they got a deal to settle with 1.6 million. That deal wasn’t that easy to
close!

In the end, they had even scolded Mr. Manning and told him off.
