The father and son both took the teacups the maid placed in front of them and introduced themselves to Luke. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. I'm Saul Leo, and this is my terrible son, Yerik Leo. He's the one who caused your leg to be injured. We're here today to apologize to you."
Luca lowered her gaze and thought that she should not be standing there, but she could find any excuse to leave.
Luke's eyes were glistening as he looked at the father and son.
He thought that their attitudes were acceptable but unnecessary.
"I've already handed this matter to my lawyer to settle it. If you have any questions, you may contact Mr. Zac from the law firm in Kaston. He'll represent me and communicate with you," said Luke.
Saul's heart skipped a beat. He knew that things would not be settled so easily.
"Mr. Crawford, it's indeed my son's fault this time, and I won't run away from the responsibility. It's just that he's still in school, so we hope you'll give us a chance to settle this outside of court," he hinted with his words.
Luke did not lack money. Even if he chose to settle it personally, he would not be greedy and try to extort money like the others. Hence, he brought Yerik over to seize a chance.
If his plan succeeded, Yerik would not need to be punished.
Luke took out his phone and searched for Mr. Zac's number. He passed it to Luca. "Call Mr. Zac and ask him to come over."
Luca took it over, and at the same time, she recalled seeing the verdict earlier. There were a few words that indicated Yerik had broken the law. He was driving under the influence, and the alcohol percentage detected in his system had exceeded the limit.
If Luke insisted on settling it in court, Yerik would be done for. He might even be sentenced.
"Alright, Mr. Crawford." Luca took the phone and saw that Luke had clicked into Mr. Zac's contact info.
However, what left her astonished was that Luke decided to contact Mr. Zac instead of chasing them away after getting to know their motives.
Saul heard this and immediately asked, "Mr. Crawford, do you agree to settle it outside court?"
Seeing his delighted look made Luke reply with an expressionless look, "No, I just want Mr. Zac to come here and tell you about the legal procedures in detail."
it was out of Saul's expectation that no matter how he pleaded, Luke did not plan on going easy on them.
Even though Luke managed to make Luca stay back because of this incident, he was not thankful for it. After all, he had faced so many embarrassing situations because of his leg injury.
It was not convenient going to work in a wheelchair.
"Mr. Crawford, can you please not contact Mr. Zac for now?" Saul knew things were not going to be easy to settle after listening to what Luke said.
'He's not lacking anything. What should I do to make him agree?'
Luca heard it and did not insist.
Saul suddenly got up and kneeled on the floor. "Mr. Crawford, I'm begging you. Please forgive him. Kids should be punished for their mistakes, but if we take this to court, that'll be the end of it for him. He won't be able to complete his studies."
Yerik did not expect his father to kneel in front of Luke. At that moment, he got anxious.
The school knew that he had driven under the influence and crashed into someone. If he was imprisoned, the school would expel him because they would not tolerate students who defamed the school's name.
Hence, after Saul sought all ways to bail him out, he immediately bought some gifts and came to Luke to beg for forgiveness.
