Chapter 796

After sending off the three Campbells, the few of them collapsed onto the sofa in defeat-that family was a

difficult one to handle.

Meanwhile, Helen continued to ramble on and said, "You need to settle the money quickly, Sasha. You can't let

anything happen to your cousin. After all, your aunt..." Sasha snapped back in frustration, "Stop it! I've already

agreed to help him pay up. Is that not enough for you?"

With that, she dragged Matthew along and went upstairs.

Immediately after that, James headed inside as well and slammed the door shut.

Helen stood in the living room as tears streamed down her face. She said furiously, "How can you all be so

ungrateful? If it weren't for your aunt back then..."

Despite her efforts, no one was listening; the incident tonight had physically and mentally exhausted the entire

family.

The next day, Mr. Manning personally went over to settle the matter. He was one of the most influential lawyers

at Carson Law Firm, and he was extremely well-connected as well.

After a long and busy day, he finally resolved the issue.

However, the required compensation was pretty hefty-it was a whopping 1.6 million.

That night, the Campbells gathered at the Cunningham Residence while Mr. Manning explained the situation to

all of them.

Chloe was stupefied as soon as she heard the amount. "1.6 million? Why can't he just steal the money from

someone else? It's not like anyone ended up dead-why does he need such a huge compensation? Mr. Manning, y-

you're not trying to trick us, are you?"

Mr. Manning's brows furrowed as he replied solemnly, "Mrs. Campbell, feel free to find someone else if you think

that I'm not qualified to settle the problem. I'm only doing this for you on behalf of Mr. Larson, for | would never

meddle in unlawful acts like this otherwise!"

Chloe snapped back, "What's so unlawful about this? It's just a small matter, and you don't have to exaggerate

the severity of it to make yourself look good. You previously told us that it'd only be a million, but now you're

insisting that it's 1.6 million. Obviously, this is your fault! You're planning to swallow the remaining 600,000 for

yourself, aren't you?

Mr. Manning was utterly vexed at this point. He stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Larson-I'm afraid | can't take

this case. | apologize if I've caused you any inconvenience!" Matthew replied helplessly, "I understand, Mr.

Manning. | should be the one to apologize, for I've put you in a difficult position."

With that, Mr. Manning bade him farewell with a polite gesture before he turned around and left without another

word.

Chloe rushed up to him as she yelled, "Hey, stop right there! You'd better tellwhy you're charging an extra

600,000! Don't think | don't know how you people do things-you're just trying to swindle innocent people. You

don't even have a sense of basic etiquette; what a piece of garbage!"

Just then, Mr. Manning turned behind and cast a piercing glare in her direction, but he eventually swallowed his

anger.

Whatever it was, he couldn't lose his temper for Matthew's sake.

After leaving the villa in his car, Mr. Manning sent a text message to his lawyer group chat with a brief

explanation of the situation.

In just a second, the group chat exploded with responses; nobody had ever seen such a bizarre client. At the

stime, the group members swore that they wouldn't be willing to take the case either. Inside the villa, Chloe

was still complaining in dissatisfaction. "What kind of lawyer is he, Matthew? Didn't you say that you two were

close? From what | see, he's just here to scam us. Speople only scam their close friends; such things do

happen, you know?"

Matthew's brows knitted. "Mr. Manning is a professional, Aunt Chloe. He wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, we've

already agreed that our side will cover the compensation fee. What are you even mad about?" Chloe glared at

him wide-eyed. "Nonsense! Even if it's your money, | can't sit by and let someone else scam you. Do you think

money grows on trees at your command? I'm just worried about my sister; did you collude with the lawyer to rip

us off for another 600,000? Wait, that's not right-something like this wouldn't even need a few hundred thousand

to settle. Are you really planning to suck us dry?"
