Female Novel
Chapter 1945
The father and son both took the teacups the maid placed in front of them and introduced themselvesto Luke. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. I'm Saul Leo, and this is my terrible son, Yerik Leo. He's theone who caused your leg to be injured. We're here today to apologize to you."
Luca lowered her gaze and thought that she should not be standing there, but she could find anyexcuse to leave.
Luke's eyes were glistening as he looked at the father and son.novelbin
He thought that their attitudes were acceptable but unnecessary.
"I've already handed this matter to my lawyer to settle it. If you have any questions, you may contactMr. Zac from the law firm in Kaston. He'll represent me and communicate with you," said Luke.
Saul's heart skipped a beat. He knew that things would not be settled so easily.
"Mr. Crawford, it's indeed my son's fault this time, and I won't run away from the responsibility. It's justthat he's still in school, so we hope you'll give us a chance to settle this outside of court," he hinted withhis words.
Luke did not lack money. Even if he chose to settle it personally, he would not be greedy and try toextort money like the others. Hence, he brought Yerik over to seize a chance.
If his plan succeeded, Yerik would not need to be punished.
Luke took out his phone and searched for Mr. Zac's number. He passed it to Luca. "Call Mr. Zac andask him to come over."
Luca took it over, and at the same time, she recalled seeing the verdict earlier. There were a few wordsthat indicated Yerik had broken the law. He was driving under the influence, and the alcohol percentage
detected in his system had exceeded the limit.
If Luke insisted on settling it in court, Yerik would be done for. He might even be sentenced.
"Alright, Mr. Crawford." Luca took the phone and saw that Luke had clicked into Mr. Zac's contact info.
However, what left her astonished was that Luke decided to contact Mr. Zac instead of chasing themaway after getting to know their motives.
Saul heard this and immediately asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you agree to settle it outside court?"
Seeing his delighted look made Luke reply with an expressionless look, "No, I just want Mr. Zac tocome here and tell you about the legal procedures in detail."
it was out of Saul's expectation that no matter how he pleaded, Luke did not plan on going easy onthem.
Even though Luke managed to make Luca stay back because of this incident, he was not thankful for it.After all, he had faced so many embarrassing situations because of his leg injury.
It was not convenient going to work in a wheelchair.
"Mr. Crawford, can you please not contact Mr. Zac for now?" Saul knew things were not going to beeasy to settle after listening to what Luke said.
'He's not lacking anything. What should I do to make him agree?'
Luca heard it and did not insist.
Saul suddenly got up and kneeled on the floor. "Mr. Crawford, I'm begging you. Please forgive him.Kids should be punished for their mistakes, but if we take this to court, that'll be the end of it for him. Hewon't be able to complete his studies."
Yerik did not expect his father to kneel in front of Luke. At that moment, he got anxious.
The school knew that he had driven under the influence and crashed into someone. If he wasimprisoned, the school would expel him because they would not tolerate students who defamed theschool's name.
Hence, after Saul sought all ways to bail him out, he immediately bought some gifts and came to Luketo beg for forgiveness.
"Dad..." Yerik was young and proud. He could not understand why his father was kneeling.
"You unfilial son, why are you standing there dumbfounded? Do you wish to be imprisoned? Hurry andget down on your knees. Beg Mr. Crawford for forgiveness." Saul immediately pulled Yerik down tokneel.
Yerik was forced to kneel.
Luca had seen this scene countless times.
Saul really loved his son. He was scolding his son in front of Luke, but he must really love him.
Pampering one's children excessively might cause them to lose their direction. Besides, Yerik hadbroken the law.
Even though Yerik was kneeling, it was clear from his young features that he was dissatisfied. Hedefinitely could not understand why Saul would do this.
After all, he was a youngster. Besides, judging from his branded clothes as well as the expensivesupplements placed on the table, Luca guessed that their family was somewhat wealthy.
Otherwise, Yerik would not end up in such a state.
"Get up. It's useless no matter how long you kneel." Luke did not change his mind just because theykneeled.
Yerik heard it and got furious. "Dad, why are you kneeling when he's not willing to accept your gesture?Get up!"
He got up first and forcefully pulled Saul up.
Saul looked disappointed. He had asked the lawyer. Even though Luke did not have serious injuries, itwas possible that he would be sentenced to a few years of imprisonment for drunk driving and causingharm to others.
Besides, the legal department in A City was very fair. They were famous for doing things according tothe law. If he wanted Yerik to overcome this, he had to get on Luke's good side.
As long as Luke agreed to say that he was drunk at the time and accidentally crashed into Yerik, therewould be a slim chance.
"What do you know? All this is your fault. It's only reasonable for you to kneel here!” Saul knew his sonwas dissatisfied. He blamed himself for always pampering him. He would always settle all the troubleshe caused by bribing the other party. Hence, his son thought he could do anything as his family wasrich.
He even caused such huge trouble this time.
Yerik was still unwilling to kneel, and his eyes gleamed with fury as he stared at Luke.
"Mr. Crawford, he doesn't know anything. If he doesn't kneel, I'll kneel on his behalf. I'll kneel here untilyou forgive him." Saul did not wish for his only son to be imprisoned.
"No matter how long you kneel, it's none of my concern. It's not going to be helpful in this issue. Thisyoung man will need to be educated. Inform Mr. Zac, and in the meantime, report this to the police,"Luke said to Luca.
"Alright." Luca nodded and picked up Luke's phone, wanting to inform Mr. Zac first.
Yerik said furiously when he heard that Luke wanted to lodge a police report, "Hey, Crawford, I dareyou to do that!"
"Why wouldn't I when you're causing havoc in my house?" As Luke was sitting in a wheelchair, Yerikwas looking down at him from above. However, in terms of aura, Luke did not lose.
"I'm going to be imprisoned anyway, so I might as well take you out before I go!” Yerik rolled his sleevesup and was about to swing a punch at Luke's face.
There were no security guards in the villa except for the two weak women. With Luke sitting in thewheelchair, he definitely would not be a match for Yerik.
He had long been angry with him.
Saul heard what his son said but could not get up to stop him in time. He was so scared that his facewent pale when he saw Yerik about to punch Luke's face.
