15 minutes later.
Soon, Lester and his lawyer finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Lowell confessed to deliberately crashing into the car, not denying it at all.
His confession shocked Lester and the lawyer. They actually wanted to tackle the case from a different angle, so as to give Lowell more opportunities.
Lowell might even be able to leave unscathed.
However, Lowell admitted to his crimes immediately, which shocked everyone. He was basically giving up on himself. Gary was shocked by Lowell's attitude.
Under Lester and his lawyer's negotiations, Gary was able to meet Lowell. They sat facing each other across the table.
Lowell smiled and said, "Don't be so gloomy. This has nothing to do with you. I started everything and it was all my fault."
"How are you the one who started all of these? Yes, you were the one who introduced her to me, but I did not protect myself well enough either. I should f*cking get a retribution of my own, why did you do this?" Gary gritted his teeth and growled at him, "Do you know what you are getting yourself into? There are thousands upon thousands of ways for us to deal with her, why did you have to do this?"
"That's because this is a type of massacre on its own too. Even if I have to be in prison, it is the price I have to pay. Even if I really went to prison, I will still feel at ease."
"Bullsh*t!" Gary could not help but to curse. He couldn't understand Lowell's thoughts. "Are you telling me that this makes you seem noble? Why do you have to help me deal with my matters? Lowell, why are you doing this?"
"So, you don't have to blame yourself. You should not burden yourself with this matter. These are my own actions, and it has nothing to do with you." Lowell smiled, as if he had already thought about it, and that he could pay any price for it too.
Even so, Gary still felt greatly uncomfortable. He did not want Lowell to do something like that for him.
D*mn it, all of that happened because of that unscrupulous woman, Janice.
He felt really angry.
Gary swore that he would find a way to make Janice pay.
"This is my business, you should not have done anything," Gary said in a low voice, "Forget it, I don't know how to explain it to you."
"Gary." Lowell smiled bitterly. "Even if I have to go to jail, it has nothing to do with you. I am telling you the truth, this is my choice, and you know that I hate scheming women the most."
Gary was startled. All at once, he thought of his grandmother.
Lowell looked at him with a wry smile. "You know why I did what I did. Go back and be well with Celeste."
Gary was startled. He smiled bitterly too.
He felt his heart ached as he shook his head. "I am afraid that I won't be able to be with Celeste again for the rest of my life."
Lowell was shocked.
Gary held on to the forced smile on his face. "Celeste will know about it sooner or later. This is such a huge matter. Besides, with my understanding of her, I am sure that she won't want to be in a relationship with me anymore. Rather than doing this, I think it will be better for me to tell her everything myself."
As Gary said that, he smiled. His smile was so bleak and helpless.
Lowell apologized at once, "I am sorry, this is all my fault. I just couldn't believe that Janice was pregnant with your child. That was why I needed you here, to get the necessary evidence. If I knew that the child was really yours, I could have solved this problem in advance, instead of letting you be in so much pain and difficulty."
"Lowell, how noble of you," Gary roared. He had no choice, he felt a little sad too when he was facing Lowell. "You helped me solve my problem, but at the expense of putting yourself in jail. Do you want to make me feel uneasy for the rest of my life?"
"No, Gary, I just think that you deserve happiness," Lowell said sincerely, "At least between the two of us, you can be happy, and so can Celeste. I have my own reasons for doing what I did. I think it's meaningful."
"If you really want me to be happy, then think about how you are going to explain this to the police, and sit down to cooperate with the lawyer nicely." Gary looked at him seriously. "Mr. Lester and I will try to think of a way to solve this problem for you, but you must cooperate first, do you understand?"
"I won't cooperate." Lowell shook his head, he smiled, but his face was pale, "Perhaps being imprisoned for a few years is the best way to go for me. I also won't have to feel bad for having done this anymore."
"What did you do? You should have thought clearly when you did this. No matter what you are doing, you will remember it for the rest of your life," Gary said in a deep voice, "Also, if you went to jail, what do you think will happen to my parents? Did they raise you for you to go to jail?"
When Heinz and Grace were mentioned, a trace of struggle could be seen in Lowell's eyes.
Gary knew that his words had shot through Lowell's heart.
After that, he continued to attack vigorously, "So, no matter what, you have to cooperate with our lawyer. This is the only way we can minimize the damage."
Lowell pursed his lips, he nodded. "Okay."
When Gary came out of the room, he told Lester and the lawyer, "You two can go in now. He will cooperate with you."
Lester nodded, he told the lawyer, "Go in. He mustn't goto jail."
