Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 337

Charles accompanied her to the police station.

"We will charge Carrie for wounding with intent, and Mr.Stephenson has told us about that, so we will pay special attention to this traffic accident."

Police officer Capener, who was taking over with their case, maintained a serious attitude.

"Since Carrie is still hospitalized, and the hospital has detected that she has a mental illness, you should be extra careful if she lodges an appeal, for many criminals will deliberately escape the legal penalty by the means of mental illness:"

"Is Carrie really mentally ill?"

Hearing this, Christina was flummoxed.

"It doesn't matter if she's really ill or not, now that she has already broken the law by driving intentionally into people.At worst, we shall hire a lawyer to fight against her in court, no matter how long it takes.Who will be afraid of her?"

Charles didn't have much sympathy for Carrie, but he caught another point and turned to look at Christina doubtfully.

"Did Chandler interfere in this case?"

He and Chandler almost grew up together like real brothers, and he knew so well that how scheming Chandler was, but when did Chandler care to poke his nose into someone else's affairs?

Seated opposite them, Police officer Capener heard them mention Chandler and added, "Mr.Stephenson has made outstanding contributions to C city, as he has actively participated in the public welfare of our city every year and continued to donate a large sum of money to help countless

poor families.This case involves Mr.Stephenson's relatives, so our superiors will pay extra attention to it."

Charles was flabbergasted.

Why didn't he know that his brother liked to be a hero in obscurity? The Stephenson family was a literary family, with four generations of professors and academicians in distinguished academies.

However, compared with the traditionally rich families like the Hopkins family and Shepherd family, they definitely did not have the same level of financial resources.

The Stephensons was particularly well-off, but the annual huge donations were still a burden for them.

Charles's mind was a swirl of wild guesses and nonsenses.

Was Chandler not getting along with his money? Or was he so morally inferior that he should learn from Chandler for his noble spirit of counting money for little? Christina didn't even care to pay him any attention, but asked police officer Capener directly, "If Carrie appeals with reference to her mental illness, what is our chance of winning?"

"That's hard to tell.The judge tends to give a judgment based on whether the perpetrator's motive was voluntary at that time and the seriousness of the consequences of the traffic accident."

As he spoke, the policeman opposite them lowered his voice on purpose to give them a reminder, "It also depends on the abilities of the lawyer you hire."

The lawyers found by Charles and the others must be among the first-tier.

It was the reality that some top lawyers could turn black into white, and even turn small matter into a big one so that they could subjugate their enemies forever.

Connie's anxiety was in fact due to her fear to all these relations.

After enquiring, Christina thanked the officer and left the police station.

"Christina, you don't have to worry about this.Do everything you please as usual and leave these to us."

After leaving the police station, Charles was texting lowering his head.

Christina subconsciously glanced at the screen of his phone, but he immediately blocked the screen with his palm as if he was doing something stealthy and ulterior.

Charles tried to put on a solemn face, which seemed to be diverting her attention.

"By the way, don't the Hampton family and the Dickens family know about the matter concerning Carrie?"

Carrie had not divorced Cory, so she was still the daughter-in-law of the Hampton family.

However, the Hamptons had not yet made any move until now.

Also, Connie was the only one involved on the side of the Dickens family.

"I didn't mention it to the Dickens family."

Christina's tone was calm, and she took a few more examining glances at Charles's seemingly guilty face.

"This matter should be handled according to formal legal procedures, and you don't need to interfere too much either:’ Charles grunted a casual reply, as his phone rang right on time. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I have some work to attend to.Take a taxi back to the Dickens family:"

Holding his phone, he trotted hastily towards his car and said quickly, as if he was really busy.

Christina stood still and looked at his hurried figure, feeling that this guy was sneaking around and hiding something from her.

Charles swiftly got into the car and slammed the door.

He looked out the window at Christina with a guilty conscience, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer button on his phone.

"Patrick, you've said that someone had been doing harm to Christina for some grudge unknown.I have a clue now.I guess it might be Cecilia..."

He held the phone and explained to Patrick as logically as possible.

"She's hiding it very well.Carrie's car-crashing was also provoked by Cecilia.She won't do it herself, but she is rather adept at doing harm through the hands of another.So I’m going to send someone to investigate her in detail."

"You have already found someone to investigate?"

Charles squeezed the phone, exclaiming in a surprised tone.

Then he got slightly dejected, for he finally found a new clue and something to do, but it was cut off by someone else.He asked sullenly, "Then what do I need to do now?"

The man on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and then asked ina deep voice, "How is she?"

"She" referred to Christina.

Hearing his question, Charles perked up a little.

"Carrie drove to crash her, but Christina was luckily unscathed nor disabled.But her friend Crystal was slightly injured, which made it even more troublesome.Christina was so stubborn, and she would rather she was the one getting hurt, oh, and Chandler scolded her..."

"Chandler had scolded her?"

The man on the other end suddenly interrupted him.

"Actually, I'm not sure."

Charles was positively excited about the topic.

"Chandler and Crystal seemed to have developed something beyond friendship.Chandler also took the initiative to intervene in this traffic accident, and I guess he felt sorry for Crystal, and then he vented his anger on Christina."

"Oh,"

Patrick responded in an ambiguous tone.

The tone sounded a little grim and creepy.

Charles was startled, as he realized that he might have said too much.

Ever the fast speaker, Charles swore that he didn't mean to get Chandler entangled in.

He just wanted to share gossip with Patrick, but he might have caused Patrick to hold a grudge against his brother by accident.

Charles became cautious and asked a question more secure.

"What are you going to do about Carrie?"

"Send her to jail." Patrick replied coldly.

Charles wobbled.

"But Christina told me just now not to interfere too much and leave it to follow the normal judicial procedures."

Christina disdained to suppress the Yankey sisters with dirty means and Charles also deemed that the traffic accident did not result in serious consequences, besides, Carrie was instigated, so there was no need to go too far.

"She intended to crash people with a car.

Although this time she failed, she'd definitely try the second or the third time.This time Christina escaped by luck, but what if it happens again? Are you going to take up the responsibilities?"

Patrick's voice was cold and resolute.

Charles frowned as he tried to come up with a reply.

If Carrie really hit Christina this time, no one could bear the consequences.
