Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 274

Helen cleared her throat before saying, “Sasha’s solution sounds workable too. Liam, you’ve always been very nice to us, and we know that very well. But this time, the two of you really did take the jade bracelet and sell it off, so it’s perfectly reasonable for you to take the blame for its loss. Why don’t you just admit to selling it? The Grahams look like a bunch of generous people, and they might not hold you accountable for it.”

James nodded in agreement. “Yes, Liam; she’s right. We will remember what you’ve done for our family. Even if the Grahams are really going to get you arrested, we will get you the best lawyer to reduce your sentence! By the time you’re released from prison, our family will become one of the prestigious families in Eastcliff! As our son-in-law, you’ll become a member of high society too!”

Liam cursed them continuously in his mind for how nice they tried to make it sound.

If he was going to be sent to prison, they might ask Demi to marry another man right after that.

By the time he was released, he wasn’t even sure whether they would still recognize him as their son-in-law.

Liam knew the old couple well enough just by seeing how they had treated Matthew. There was no way he was going to take the blame for the loss of the jade bracelet.

However, he also understood the need to maintain a friendly relationship with the two. After all, he was still trying to get his hands on Cunningham Pharmaceuticals!

Pretending to be respectful, Liam agreed, “Dad, Mom, you are right. I’ll do whatever you tell me to.”

James and Helen were overjoyed to hear that from him. They were worried at first that it might be challenging trying to convince Liam.

They never thought that Liam would readily take the blame.

Helen pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes as she said, “You’re really such a nice kid. In fact, I wouldn’t be willing to put you through this if it wasn’t the last resort. Don’t worry, as soon as we get the 300 million back, we’ll try our best to get you out of prison. In future, we’ll treat you as our own flesh and blood!”

James nodded his head vigorously. “Liam, you really didn’t let me down! You are a tough guy who’s willing to shoulder responsibilities, so much better than a certain useless guy who depends on our family for a living! Sasha, look at him. Your husband is a far cry from Demi’s!”

Looking smug, Demi snickered, “Sasha, take a look at what true love is!”

Sasha looked bewildered. She had not expected Liam to agree with the arrangement so readily. “Something’s off. I wonder why he accepted it so quickly,” Sasha told Matthew in a low voice.

Matthew only shook his head. “He didn’t really mean it. I’m sure he won’t allow himself to be put behind bars. Just wait and see, he’ll soon find himself an excuse to get away with that.”

Moments after Matthew said that, Liam exclaimed, “Oh dear, I suddenly remember something. Dad, Mom, if I’m going to take the responsibility, I’m afraid that Demi will have to be sent to jail too…”

Demi was frightened. “Why would you say that?”

Liam explained impatiently. “Try to think about it—the CCTV footage shows the both of us taking the bracelet to sell at the shop! Since everything is on tape, it won’t be convincing even if I wanted to shoulder the responsibility alone! Demi won’t be spared if the Grahams get to the bottom of this! What’s more, it was Demi who handed over the jade bracelet at the shop. When the footage is shown in court, Demi will surely be assumed as the principal of the crime. I’m afraid she will even get a heavier sentence than mine!”

Instantly, Demi’s face turned extremely pale. She questioned in a quivering voice, “W-What should we do about this? Dad, Mom, I-I can’t be sent to jail! My whole life will be doomed if I am sent to jail at such a young age!”
