The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 6154

The judicial system in the United States was very different from that in the East, especially in Oskia.

Perhaps the biggest difference was the issue of compensation.

In Oskia, the definition of compensation was often based on per capita income, so it was often relatively low. However, in the United States, if the nature and impact of the case were severe, the compensation could skyrocket to an astronomical amount.

For example, a scandalous incident had erupted in an American airline where a foreign doctor had been assaulted and dragged off the plane. It was exposed online, causing a massive public outcry. Eventually, the two parties had reached a settlement. The exact amount was not disclosed, but many sources speculated that the compensation was likely around 140 million US dollars.

This kind of compensation was unimaginable in Oskia but not uncommon in the United States.

Since the Rothschild family had admitted that it was their fault, albeit unwillingly, according to the conventions of American society, Raymond could demand a huge settlement from them.

Moreover, with the influence of the incident and professional lawyers, he could easily ask for 300 million dollars from the Rothschilds.

However, Raymond said in a calm tone, "I don't want compensation. Please tell their lawyers to prepare an unconditional settlement agreement. I will sign it."

"Are you sure you want to settle this unconditionally?" The Chief Judge was taken aback. "Mr. Cole, this case has now garnered the attention of the entire American public. While my position doesn't allow me to say too much, i-it's somewhat inappropriate if you refuse compensation..."

Since the Rothschild family had decided to release Raymond without charges, they needed to provide him with reasonable compensation. This would please the public who were following the case, allowing them to feel content and eventually shift their attention elsewhere.

Raymond raised his voice and asserted, "I hope that everyone will remember this incident, remember that the Rothschilds are abusing American law, remember that they abused public tools for private purposes and controlled the entire prison in their own hands, and remember that they torture others to get what they want!"

At this point, he got a little agitated as he continued, "I hope people can remember that their ancestors once used extremely dishonorable means to plunder a large amount of wealth from the East and Oskia, and caused countless tragic casualties. I hope that people will always remember their ancestors' enormous crimes!"

"So, I can't take their money, and I don't want it!"

The Chief Judge pursed his lips awkwardly at this moment. If Raymond did not want a penny, his refusal to compensate would surely spark another public debate. When the public discussed this matter, they would likely believe that the harm caused by the Rothschild family was so severe that Raymond, completely disregarding the temptation of a large sum of money, had resolutely refused to take a single penny from the family.
