Looking at the wound on her hand, she suddenly remembered something. Alicia shook her head and said,

"When I got out of the car, I accidentally scratched it!

",

"It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine!

", Cupping her small face, Frederick's high-hanging heart settled down,

"Why didn't you call me when it happened?

", Seeing her savior, she came to her senses and instantly collapsed. She threw herself into his arms and immediately burst into tears,

"Hubby, I seemed to have hit someone. Will I get thrown in jail? I'm so afraid... What should I do?

", He hugged her tightly and kissed her head with much force,

"No! No! Don't be afraid! It's just a traffic accident. It's alright. I'm here. It's okay!

", It was only then that he noticed the commotion in front of him. He saw that Carson was surrounded by a group of people, so he guessed that Alicia must be frightened. Frederick turned to look at Chet.,

"I arranged for someone to obtain the surveillance footage! There should be a reply later! Master Vives already called the police, but he's afraid that they will rush over too soon and it will be difficult to deal with it, so he asked someone to stop them on the road!

", Then, Trevor also said,

"I'll call a lawyer here. After all, they'll be more professional than us!

", Looking at the scene in front of him, Jeremy was completely stunned., Soon, the lawyer arrived. There was also a reply from Chet's side,

"I checked the surveillance footage. Miss Blanchard is not of the main responsibility...

", At that time, he zoomed in and the lawyer spoke.,

"However, the car was off track. Plus, the new policy has just been implemented, and it requires cars to make way for pedestrians. I'm afraid that Miss Blanchard has to bear a part of the responsibility! Now, we have to consider the other three aspects. One is the injury, and one is record of driving, and the last one whether the driver was driving under influence! If it was not DUI, and the patient's life is not in danger, the charge will be much lighter! If you can come to an agreement with the victim's family, you can pay them privately. If you are unable to do that, you'll just have to file another lawsuit. It's okay since you're not of main responsibility. There's no need to go to jail, but if you want to eliminate the bad record, it's too early now. Hence, it's difficult to get it done!

", As soon as the lawyer's finished talking, he asked about Alicia's situation, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, Frederick thought for a while and looked back at the lawyer again.,

"It doesn't matter if there's a record. It's no big deal if she doesn't drive in the future! I estimate that the police will arrive soon. Since the main resonsibility is not on us, we should try our best to avoid all! This, it's not difficult, right?

", The lawyer nodded and smiled,

"Of course!

",

"Chet, go talk to the family members! Do your best to enlighten the situation and try to make peace with them in private!

",

"I understand!

", Soon, the hall was in a mess again. Frederick held Alicia in his arms and accompanied her in making transcripts as he appeased her emotions. The others were responsible for their own work to deal with the aftermath., Soon after, the operating room's lights went out. She subconsciously wanted to go over, but he stopped her,

"Don't go there! There're too many people! Chet is coming...

"

"How's it going? Did anything happen? Is he alright?

", She was anxious. The helplessness and worry in her eyes were evident. Chet could naturally notice it, not to mention, at this time, Frederick looked at him with a warning glance.,

"The operation was very successful. He's no longer in any life-threatening condition, but one of his legs is seriously injured. In the future, he may have post-operative illnesses!

", Hearing that he was fine, Alicia breathed a sigh of relief,

"It's good that he's alive! There's hope if he's alive. In the worst-case scenario, I'll make more money to cure him. It's alright to feed him for a lifetime!

" After all, she was unlucky enough to hit someone!, After saying that, she put her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed earnestly. Frederick exchanged a look with Chet but saw him pointing behind and shaking his head., He couldn't be dead, could he?, Not fully understanding what he meant, Frederick said,

"Well, it's alright now. I'll bring you home first! Chet and Trevor will deal with the following stuff!

", He sent her home and cooked her some soup for a good night's sleep. After watching her sleep soundly, he crept to the study and gave Chet a call.,

"Are you saying that person is fine, but one leg is definitely crippled?

",

"Yes! I consulted the doctor and discussed with Master Vives. The surgery was successful, but he lost a lot of blood, and there was inflammation caused by the surgery, so he's still in a coma with a fever. According to the current situation, he's not in danger. As long as the fever is gone, he should be fine. However, his leg injury is serious. Even after he recovers, he can't do heavy work in the future. He has lost half of his working ability! He's a worker at a construction site. It is estimated that the family all depend on him. They're completely unreasonable. Master Vives said that they asked for three million dollars at the beginning without knowing whether he was dead or not. After that, they saw that we are willing to reconcile, and that we were well off, and the family now wants ten million dollars, not including the medical surgery and subsequent treatment expenses. They aren't willing to have a proper discussion and want us to sign a final agreement, or they'll file a lawsuit against us!

" ,

"Frederick, it's not that I look down on the poor and have no sympathy, but this family is just as difficult to deal with as if they're lunatics! They're unreasonable. No wonder Miss Blanchard was so scared in the hospital. Master Vives is speechless! I'd never seen this kind of family members of a victim! If it wasn't for the surveillance footage that, showed that she really ran into him, I, would have doubted if this family, was a professional blackmailer.

" , As he spoke, Chet was filled with righteous indignation.,

"Frederick, what do you think? Do you want to pay for it? Or go through a trial? Anyway, from old to young, men to women, there's not a good person in this household! The point is that no one has any rationality, let alone knowing the law. It's pure pestering! It's these kinds of people that we can't do...

", Chet muttered as he held his mobile phone. Frederick's gaze turned cold. At first, he wanted to make peace with the family as he sympathized with them. In an instant, his thoughts were replaced by the scene of Alicia throwing herself into his arms and bursting into tears., nět,

"I'm not afraid of violent people! If he's weak, I will really pity him! It's not worth it to show him respect! Let them sue us then. Let's not reach an agreement in private! Find someone to obtain the surveillance footage, find a medical examiner, get an expert to re-evaluate him, examine his injuries... Don't he need to take the main responsibility in the first place? Then, let's turn him into a complete blackmailer now! That's to prevent him from creating trouble and getting sympathy through public means. Before he acts, let's first get to the bottom of his background and get hold of his weakness! I'm going to sue him for blackmailing! I'd like to see what this shameless guy can, do!

" ,

"I'll get it done right away!

" It was much easier to find evidence than to deal with the family!, After returning home, Jeremy was in a state of dejection. His mind was full of the scene that Alicia rushing towards Frederick for help. For the first time, he clearly felt that he had completely lost her!

"Jeremy, you're back? What took you so long?
