Chapter 54: We’ll Give You 100 Million!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Joshua Hayes’ face changed slightly upon hearing Zander Goldman’s words.

Rather than saying that Joshua retired from the capital, it would be more accurate to say that he failed against the competition, so his next best option was to retreat to Mediterranean City and enjoy his golden years in peace.

?

For several years, Joshua, with the contacts he had made from his years working in the capital, managed to make the Hayes family one of the three biggest families in Mediterranean City.

There had been a few years of peace, but once those people in the capital caught wind that the Hayes family had contributed a sizable amount to Mediterranean City’s economy, old enemies might come looking for trouble.

Perhaps a huge disaster was awaiting the Hayes family in the near future!

“Mr. Zander, why do you have to be so bitter? I’d be really grateful if you could let this matter go.” Joshua cracked a bitter and helpless smile.

Zander picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. “The great Joshua Hayes is begging me for a favor? You were so mighty and powerful when you were in the capital. When I begged you for mercy, you sent my son to prison without even blinking an eye! Now, your grandson has made a mistake, and you dare ask me to be accommodating? What makes you think I should let him go? Intentionally assaulting someone, and in public! He has such a bad attitude. We’re looking at a minimum sentence of ten years, I’m sure you realize?”

Eight years ago, Zander’s son had made a mistake and Joshua wanted him to be punished.

In the end, Zander’s son was sentenced to ten years in prison.

He was still in jail now!

How could Zander let go of such a good opportunity for sweet revenge?

As the saying goes, ‘an eye for an eye’. If Joshua made Zander’s son rot in jail for ten years, Zander would personally make sure Joshua’s grandson would rot in jail for ten years too!

Joshua’s lips curled inwards.

If Jeremy Hayes was sentenced to ten years, his entire life would be ruined.

Moreover, he was the only son of Jackson Hayes and Helena Carter.

Although they still had Ginny, their daughter, they would still be losing their only son.

Jeremy was meant to be the family’s successor. If he were to serve in prison for ten years, the Hayes family legacy would be finished!

Jackson and Helena looked at each other in dismay.

If it was any other ordinary person, the Hayes family could have easily taken care of the matter.

However, they were dealing with Zander Goldman! He was a powerful man who hailed from the capital, and he even had video evidence of Jeremy beating up that man.

If Zander refused to let go of his grudge, Jeremy would definitely go to jail!

“Dear, Jeremy would never intentionally hurt anyone. It has to be Clarence’s fault!” Helena frowned.

“Yes! Dad, it’s all because of that Clarence. He must’ve instructed Jeremy to beat up that guy! If we take it to court, we can argue Clarence must’ve put a spell over him. We’ll hire the best lawyer to defend him! I’m sure Jeremy will get one or two years’ jail time at most then, right?” Jackson Hayes immediately put all the blame on Clarence.

Johnson Golding’s mouth was agape. He could not believe that Jackson and Helena were so shameless.

Jeremy stepped forward, “Mom, Dad, it’s not like that! I was the one who did it. It was entirely my fault.”

“You shut up!”

Jackson furiously growled, “If I say that Clarence made you do it, then Clarence made you do it!”

He was fuming! This idiot, can he not just pretend and go along with our act?

If Clarence was convicted, Jeremy would be considered an accessory at worst.

Even if Zander refused to let go of this, he would at most spend only two years in prison.

Clarence, on the other hand, had been coercing others to commit a crime, a more heinous offense than assault. He would be jailed for at least fifteen years!

“Dad, but...” Jeremy still wanted to say more.

Helena stepped forward and slapped him across the cheek. “Shut up and listen to your father! You’re our family’s only hope. You cannot go to jail!”

“Clarence didn’t…”

Helena slapped Jeremy again. “I told you to shut up!”

Jeremy rubbed his sore cheek and finally stopped talking.

Zander looked at Jackson with surprise, before his gaze fell on Joshua again. “Joshua, I’m surprised your son is so ruthless. I heard that this Clarence person saved your life. Don’t tell me that your family is going to throw him under the bus?”

Joshua smiled and shook his head. “I’m not throwing him under the bus. He’s simply outlived his usefulness! We’ll talk to Clarence later and compensate him a huge sum of money! We’ll have him voluntarily admit to coercing Jeremy into beating up another person. This way, it won’t be a big deal even if you refuse to forgive Jeremy!”

Zander Goldman’s expression changed slightly.

He had underestimated the extent of the Hayes family’s shamelessness.

Johnson Golding silently felt sad for Clarence. He saved the Hayes family’s patriarch, only to be punished by the family themselves.

Just at that moment, a voice came from outside the hall, saying “Miracle Doctor Clarence, why are you just standing there and not going inside?”

“Clarence?”

“He’s here?”

The faces of the Hayes family shifted a little.

Clarence strode into the hall.

Joshua and Jackson gave him a strange look.

Helena, on the other hand, remained calm. “Clarence, I believe you must have overheard our conversation just now.”

“You bet.” Clarence nodded his head gently, his expression composed.

Zander was a bit surprised. The Hayes family was so determined to put all the blame on Clarence. How could he be so calm?

Helena nodded, a satisfied look on her face. “In that case, we’ll give you 100 million and a downtown property. If anyone sues my son, you will take the initiative to admit to coercing him into hurting people! We’ll hire the best lawyer for you, don’t worry.

“You’ll spend at most fifteen years in prison. We’ve checked your identity. You’re just the trash son-in-law of the Murphy family.

“You’re only making a measly salary of $3,000 a month!

“100 million must be an astronomical amount for you. Given fifteen years, you wouldn’t be able to make even close to that amount by slaving away. Not even for 150, or even 1,500 years!

“It’s a great deal for you, staying in prison for fifteen years in exchange for 100 million.”

Helena spoke in a commanding tone.
