Emma nodded.
Yet the police came to take a statement from Sophia. The other two people involved in the accident didn't leave immediately, so they had been investigated on the spot.
Besides, the car accident started when Sophia ran a red light. Although the second car was speeding, it was driving normally.
Drake showed the surveillance footage to the police. After seeing it, the police officer said, "Since the car has been tampered with, Mrs. Riley should not be held legally responsible, but.."
Drake looked straight at him, "You can say it!"
"But the family members of the injured might not accept it. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
They all knew that the woman in the second car was badly injured. Although the third car did run a red light too, no one would accept it if the first car, namely Sophia's car, which caused the accident, was held innocent.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
"Okay, Mr. Riley, we won't bother you any longer. Please inform us when Mrs. Riley wakes up, and we'll come over and take notes."
"Okay!"
The police officer told the other two families about the situation. The third family had accepted the result because they indeed ran the red light.
But they thought that they would not have done such a thing if the first car hadn't run the red light first.
Yet now there was favorable evidence proving that the accident was not caused by the driver of the first car. The families of the second and the third cars couldn't accept it.
The two families were sad enough. After hearing these words, they immediately decided to have an argument with the family of the first driver.
Both families sent two people, one aggressive and the other articulate. But when they met Drake, they could barely speak.
Though they were from ordinary families, they could tell the driver of the first car had a strong family background from the Bentley she drove. Yet they were still shocked by Drake's aura of power.
However, thinking that they needed to hold the first driver accountable, one of them said, "We don't accept this result!"
The other person also plucked up his courage to say, "Yes, we can't accept the result. Why would we believe that the brake was tampered with? You guys are rich, maybe you have bribed the police."
"We won't be afraid of you just because you are rich. We believe in justice. If you don't admit your mistakes, we'll take you to court."
Although Drake was angry, he understood their feelings. After all, if this matter happened to him, he would be angry too.
"I understood how you feel, but we didn't lie. The garage can prove it, and so does the surveillance footage. Even if we go to court, we'll be proved innocent."
One of them realized that the family of the first driver didn't want to take the responsibility at all. How could they be so shameless?
"Cut the crap! Who knows if you bribe the garage? The surveillance footage could be edited. I suppose you even bribe the court, right?"
These words were really unpleasant to hear. Drake said, stressing every syllable, "If we are in the wrong, we will be responsible. We don't even need to go to court. I believe it's just a matter of millions of dollars. This tiny amount of money is nothing to me. But my wife did nothing wrong. And she won't take the accusation."
