Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 269 I Will Compensate You

It turned out that on their way to the police station, Liam had contacted the chief to come over and help him settle a minor issue.

At the same time, he had also looked into the woman's background.

Her husband turned out to be a contractor from Quinston City. They were a modestly wealthy family. Compared to the average person, they were actually doing quite well.

The woman's wealthy family background often led her to behave with an air of superiority around her high-tea friends.

As for the nanny, she was used to being arrogant and bossy due to her employer's wealth and influence. She probably didn't anticipate encountering a truly influential family and ended up facing a serious setback.

With such limited standing, it was ridiculous that those people had the audacity to act so superior.

"Just because they've snagged a few minor projects, they act like they're on top of the world. Imagine if they actually gained real power!"

Zoren scoffed, "If you can't educate your children properly, you shouldn't have any. They'll just end up being as pathetic as you, leveraging one's power for bullying."

The woman finally realized the gravity of the situation.

She didn't want this incident to affect her husband's career, so she quickly said, "I'll compensate you. Just let me cover the costs."

Jasper sneered, "No one cares about your meager compensation. You might as well keep it to pay off debts with your husband in the future."

"I thought we made it clear that we would sue you until you lost everything. This outcome seems quite fitting for you."

The woman was at a loss for words.

She was in such a state of despair that it felt like she was trapped in a freezing abyss with no way to escape.

Liam took the opportunity to rub it in, saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Judging from your kid's behavior, it's clear your husband isn't a good father."
