Chapter 337

Vincent accompanied Stephanie to the police station.

“We will press charges for intentional injury against Claire, and Mr. Roberts has also instructed us to pay special attention to this traffic accident” The officer who handled the case, Beck, was serious. “Claire is still in hospital, and they have detected that she has a mental illness. If she appeals. you should be aware that she might try to use her mental illness to evade legal punishment”

“Does she really have a mental illness” Stephanie was shocked.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. She’s already broken the law by causing the accident. At worst, we’ll hire a team of lawyers to fight the case with ber. I’m not afraid of her.

Vincent didn’t feel much sympathy for Claire. He caught another key point and turned to Stephanie with confusion

“Is Scott interfering in this case?

He had grown up with Scott it since childhood and was surprised that someone as deep and reserved as Scott would get involved in such a matter.

Sitting across from them, Beck chimed in, “Mr. Roberts has made outstanding contributions to Caclorium. He participates in public welfare undertakings in our city every year and continues to make substantial donations to help countless impoverished families. This case involves a relative of Mr. Roberts, so our leadership will pay close attention to it.”

Vincent was stunned. He had no idea that Scott enjoyed being an anonymous hero.

The Roberts family could be considered a scholarly family, with generations of professors at prestigious universities. However, compared to old money, such as the Wellington and Hayes families, its financial resources were somewhat lacking. Although the Roberts family was wealthy, facing large annual donations was quite challenging.

Vincent was speculating wildly. ‘Could it be that Scott values money as nothing more than dirt, or am I not noble enough? Should I also learn from Scott’s noble spirit

Ignoring Vincent, Stephanie asked Beck directly, “What are our chances of winning the lawsuit if Claire uses her mental illness to fight us?”

“It’s hard to say Judges usually base their decisions on whether the perpetrator’s motivation was spontaneous, as well as the severity of the consequences of the traffic accident.” Speaking of which, Beck deliberately lowered his voice to remind them. “Also, it depends on the ability of the lawyers you hire.

The lawyers that Vincent found for them were surely top–notch. Some top lawyers could turn black into white and use a trivial matter to ruin someone’s life forever. That indeed happened before.

Courtney was so worried because she was afraid Stephanie would use a top–notch legal team.
