Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 539

Brandon was dumbfounded and looked at the lawyer blankly. “Wh-Who are you trying to scare? For just a small sum of fifty thousand, you want to put me in jail for ten years? Don’t think just because you’re from a law firm that you can say whatever you like. I’m not afraid of you!”

The lawyer gave him a faint smile. “Mr. Atkinson, three years ago, there was a machine operator in your workshop who was involved in an accident. He was sucked into the machine and died on the spot. We have enough reasons to suspect that this accident was related to the substandard quality of these equipment.”

“Coincidentally, this batch of equipment was purchased by you, and it was also the batch you received a kickback on. If you see it this way, Mr. Atkinson, you taking a kickback and causing the death of a worker would be a huge matter!”

Brandon’s expression changed drastically. “That’s slander!” he said anxiously.

Still wearing a faint smile, the lawyer said, “Mr. Atkinson, the worker may be responsible, but there were also problems with the quality of the equipment. When the time comes, if you really go to court, both of you will probably be punished. Even if you are only taking secondary responsibility, it is also not a trivial matter.”

Brandon felt his body go weak and slumped directly on the sofa.

At this moment, he really was in a panic.

He wouldn’t care if it was just a few months in jail.

However, he wouldn’t be able to stand it if he really had to go to jail for ten years!

Laura gritted her teeth angrily. “D-Don’t try to scare us with your nonsense here! You think you’re the only ones who can hire lawyers? We can hire our own lawyers as well! I’m telling you, my husband—”

Before she could finish speaking, the lawyer interrupted her, “Your husband is Mike, correct? We’ve already investigated him. He has been cutting corners for several of the projects that he’s doing recently, and we have already asked the quality inspection department to inspect his projects. If they really find evidence of him cutting corners, your husband will face more than just penalties.”

“I checked his family’s situation. If these claims are verified, my guess is that even if he sold everything he owned, it won’t be enough to compensate. At that time, as his wife and as a joint creditor, you will have to bear at least five million in debt!”

Laura was dumbfounded. Marrying into such a family had always been something she was proud of.
