Female Novel
Chapter 2798
Marcos did not mind being kicked out of the room.
After he left, he walked to the entrance of the detention center.
Kastov was surprised to see him walk out of the room. "Why did you get out so quickly?"
"Matysh doesn't want me to see him in such a miserable state." Marcos chuckled as he took a pack ofcigarettes out of his pocket and handed it to Kastov.
"Thanks." Kastov took one cigarette out and commented on Matysh's behavior, "He's not wise at all. Hethinks he doesn't need your help, but he'll regret it."
"He wouldn't trust me even if I am willing to help him." Marcos never did anything that was not worththe effort.
Therefore, he had no intention of helping Matysh.
Besides, there was no need for him to pretend to be eager to help Matysh. After all, it would bepointless since Matysh would not believe him.novelbin
However, Luke also said that he had to put Matysh under pressure. When one was on edge, one'svulnerabilities and shortcomings tended to become glaringly obvious.
When Matysh got desperate, he would implicate all those behind him.
Luke wanted Leia to go to jail, so Marcos might as well lend him a hand. After all, he owed Luke afavor. He was just helping out with a small favor, nothing more.
That was why Marcos showed up when Ethan asked him to come.
There was no way Matysh could remain calm when he saw him.
"Have you sorted out your matters?" Kastov asked again. He was close to Marcos. He came to A Cityto help Marcos to find his biological mother, and Marcos knew that.
"I've made the arrangements. There are others cooperating as well." Marcos looked around andwondered how long would Matysh be sentenced this time.
After Marcos left, Matysh glanced at the police officers.
Ethan had no choice but to tell the police, "I'd like to ask some questions."
The police officer understood what that meant. They were asking him to step aside. After all, Matyshhad not been sentenced yet. His lawyer had the right to request for time alone when they were talkingto each other.
The police officer left and locked the door.
"Mr. Matysh, it's just the two of us now. I'm here on behalf of Old Master Abaza to help you clear yoursuspicions and get out of here. Please, you must tell me the truth," said Ethan as he emphasized theimportance of telling the truth.
He knew what kind of person Matysh was.
The rape case involving the teenage girl was certainly not a false accusation. Matysh must have donesomething like that for the police to file charges against him in relation to this case.
There was another case that was definitely related to Matysh.
Ethan had to find out about it.
"It was me. So, how do you plan to help me clear my name now?" asked Matysh.
Ethan furrowed his brows. Matysh readily admitted it. He replied, "Why don't you give me the details?"
"It's been so many years. How can I remember the details?" Matysh frowned as he thought of callingEthan a blockhead.
He had never thought that there was anything wrong with playing with women. Hence, those womenwhom he could remember either had exceptionally outstanding looks or...
Matysh could not remember the teenage girl who committed suicide.
Ethan did not expect him to say that. A girl ended her life because of his insult.
Yet Matysh said that he could not remember anything about it.
His conscience remained untouched, devoid of any remorse.
Ethan could not help but feel repulsed. However, he was Matysh's defense lawyer. If he returned toRussia without handling this well, it would bring dire consequences to him.
He had to take a different approach and delve into another case. "What about the other case? It hasn'tbeen long since that one. Please try to recall any details you remember."
Matysh felt annoyed, but he did not want to go to prison either. Therefore, he told him what happened.
Ethan finally understood that Matysh was charged with these crimes because of women.
Furthermore, the second case had to do with the woman right next to Luke!
Both cases involved women.
Was this karma for messing around with women?
Matysh asked with an impatient look on his face, "Any more questions?"
Ethan shook his head. Judging from his tone, if he continued to ask questions, Matysh would probablyslap him in the face.
"Mr. Matysh, don't worry. I'll handle this well. I'll also hire the most renowned attorney in A City to helpfight your case in the lawsuit," assured Ethan.
However, Matysh was unconvinced. Then, he reminded Ethan, "Bear in mind that you can't let Marcosintervene in this matter."
"Yes, Sir..." Ethan took note of it. He could see why Matysh wanted it that way. Even though they wereon good terms back then, Matysh indulged in a life of pleasure while Marcos managed the familybusiness for him.
At the end of the day, the two of them were rivals.
It was normal for Matysh not to trust Marcos. Ethan was too eager to help Matysh earlier and did notexpect this.
"Also, you have to promise me that I'll be safe." Matysh clenched his fist tightly. This matter must berelated to the Crawford family in A City.
Luke's company and M Group were in a cooperative alliance.
Perhaps Luke and Marcos were working together to put him in prison.
Once he ended up in prison, M Group would be completely under Marcos' control!
It was good news for Marcos.
If Matysh was able to get out safely, he would take over M Group as he had promised Old MasterAbaza. He would stop fooling around and manage the company.
When he got married and had children, his child would be the first heir, and Marcos would have nothingto do with the company.
Therefore, it was beneficial for Marcos to lock him up in the prison of A City.
It was also a good thing for Luke.
Not only could it solidify his company's relationship with M Group, but his woman would also be safe.
The incident that involved the girl was so long ago. Could the police still find evidence to reopen thecase? Besides, the Norman family...
Matysh only realized that everything that happened was targeted at him.
They were zeroing in for the kill.
A City had death sentences as punishment. If he committed something even more serious, Luke mightjust have him killed.
Ethan was taken aback. Promise?
How could he promise that?
Lawyers were like doctors in a way.
Before performing the surgery, doctors could not promise their patients that everything would be fine.They could only tell their patients that they would do their best.
It was the same for lawyers. They had no idea how it would turn out until the case reached its finalverdict. Therefore, they could only tell their clients that they would do their best to defend them.
Even the most innocent clients were left in uncertainty, so no lawyer would dare to offer assurances, forthe tides of evidence shifted with each passing moment.
"Mr. Matysh, I'll try my best to defend you," said Ethan. His voice sounded hoarse. He had no choicebut to say that.
However, Matysh was not satisfied with his answer.
"I want you to promise me that I'll be fine!" His words rang out with unwavering conviction and power.He had had enough of these days in custody!
No cigarettes, no alcohol, and no women!
Even if he had a large sum of money in his bank account, it meant nothing when he was in thisdetention facility of A City!
The police officer refused to accept his bribes.
Ethan hung his head in despair and replied, "It's hard to say, but I'll do my best."
After that, Ethan stood up and left in a hurry. He asked the police officer who stood outside to open thedoor. He was afraid that Matysh's slap would land on his face if he were a moment late.
