Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel 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.

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