Jonah was enraged. "James, get lost in your room! You said you're not gonna solve this issue, so you have no
right to say anything!"
James refuted arrogantly, "This is my house, so why can't | say anything? Jonah, why are you making a scene in
my house? | have the right to chase you out of my house!"
Then, Jonah leaped off the couch. "Try to do it tothen!"
"Matthew, call the police now!" James bellowed. "Just tell them someone has broken into our house in an attempt
to rob us!"
While all of them were astounded, she pointed at her husband. "You, get back into your room! Matthew, go to
your room upstairs!"

James and Matthew traded glances with each other and decided to remain on the sspot. The father-in-law
and son-in-law cto an agreement this time, which was a rare occurrence.
She roared, "What the heck! Even you two won't listen tonow?"
Sasha uttered in a small voice, "Mom, we should try to solve this problem first. Matthew has many friends, so
maybe he can help."
Upon hearing that, Helen cto the realization that her daughter was right. Matthew was friends with big shots
like Tiger and Stanley, so he could possibly help solve the problem. With a different expression, she looked at
him and said, "Matthew, well... Why don't you have a seat first? How do you think we can handle this matter
now?"
James wanted to say something, but when he saw Sasha's glare, he could only keep his mouth shut.
"Mom," Matthew answered. "It's fortunate enough that the person is still alive. As for how to settle this issue, it's
not up to us."
Helen responded in a low voice, "I know, but if we do nothing, your cousin-in-law might be put behind bars."
Chloe started to sob. "Helen, Tate cannot go to jail. He's still young. If he's thrown behind bars, his life will be
over."
Jonah barked, "If my son goes to jail, | won't let all of you off!"
Helen hurriedly pacified, "Calm down. We're trying to cup with a solution now. Matthew, what can we do?"
Matthew felt helpless as he genuinely didn't have any idea on how to settle it. Then, he suggested, "Why don't |
look for a lawyer and ask him about it?"
She immediately agreed. "Contact him now!"
After that, Matthew gave Stanley a call. A short while later, a man clad in a suit arrived at their home. "Hi, I'm
from the Carlson Law Firm. My nis Craig Manning. It was Mr. Carlson who toldto chere. Please tell
The man was respectful to Matthew because Stanley had personally called him to help with this issue. Upon

even went street racing. Even a single charge is enough to get him sentenced to jail. Mr. Larson... This case is
indeed difficult to handle. Based on precedent cases in the past, | estimate that he'll be sentenced to jail for
three to five years."
Chloe's eyes rolled before she passed out, upon which Helen quickly pressed her fingers against her sister's
philtrum and urged, "Matthew, tell him to cup with a solution now. He's your cousin-in-law, so you can't let
him go to jail!"
A helpless Matthew asked, "Mr. Manning, are there other ways?"
After giving it a thought, Craig replied, "Well, the most important thing is whether the victim is willing to forgive
him. We also have to deal with fines and compensation. If we can do these two things well on top of making sure
that you're polite to the victim, then maybe we can do something about it."
Jonah immediately asked, "How much are the fines and compensation?"
Craig shook his head. "I can't give you any numbers now, but it won't be a small sum."
Shifting his attention to Helen, Jonah demanded, "I don't care. You have to fork out the money for us!"
