Chapter 309: March 9 Uneasy_1

Things were not as rosy as they had imagined.

When David Wood arrived at the local police station responsible for the matter with his family, Edward Wood was still detained.

They were granted a temporary opportunity to see him.

Edward, who had not yet been formally imprisoned, couldn’t stand just one day of confinement and burst into tears at the sight of David Wood and his parents.

But only one person was allowed to visit at a time, and in the end, it was David Wood, the one in charge, who went in.

The others waited outside.

"Grandpa, it really wasn’t me, it truly wasn’t me!"

Even though he was high and not in his right mind at the time, he still remembered whether or not he had driven the car.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized what was happening, he was already in the driver’s seat.

Now that brother is unreachable, he also doesn’t know the brother’s parents have already started bribing people here, ready to pin the crime on him and make him the scapegoat.

David Wood’s face was grave as he said, "I know."

Although he didn’t have much power overseas, money could pay for an investigation.

The preliminary evidence from the investigation also suggested that this matter had no direct connection to Edward; however, the drug issue was a bit complicated, and he would inevitably have to pay a certain price.

Moreover, this incident couldn’t get back to China, or else it would have a huge impact on the Wood Family.

Edward looked at his grandfather with hopeful eyes: "Grandpa, I won’t be in trouble, right? You will save me, right? Once I get out, I’ll follow you back to China, and I will definitely behave and never disobey you again."

After this incident, Edward was indeed frightened.

His words were not credible at any other time, but at this moment, they seemed to bring David Wood some solace.

Only the credible cost of what had been exchanged for them made David Wood unable to feel completely relieved.

Still, he scolded with a cold face, "Why can’t you ever exercise a bit of restraint in your behavior? When you were in China, I sent you abroad because I told you plainly that we could not afford to offend the people you had angered. Sending you to America was for your own good, yet abroad you still manage to disappoint me so. Edward, you are the heir of the Wood Family, how can you be so lacking in ambition?"

At this moment, David Wood was also inevitably disappointed.

Edward lowered his head and didn’t dare to make a sound.

A police officer was listening nearby, and even if he didn’t understand Sinaese, there were translators present, so David Wood didn’t want to say too much. He simply explained in few words not to worry, and that Edward would be bailed out soon.

Regardless, they still had to get him out.

When he walked back out, Olivia Johnson and Daniel Wood immediately came up to him, both wearing expectant looks: "Dad, what did they say?"

Daniel Wood was the one who asked, since Olivia Johnson had been scolded when they arrived.

"Hmph!"

David Wood brushed off: "Indeed, he’s your fine son. I don’t believe it was him who caused the accident, but he can’t escape the drug use, and it wasn’t just marijuana. In America, that’s all bona fide contraband, and there were drugs in the car at the time. If he isn’t bailed out, he won’t get off easily; if he comes out, he’ll still be sent to a drug rehabilitation center for a time."

Daniel Wood’s face showed a mix of shame and hesitance, after all, it was his son.

He had failed in his upbringing, and he indeed bore some responsibility.

"First, let’s find a lawyer."

After all, he was his precious grandson, the only male child of the Wood Family; he couldn’t leave him to his fate.

Despite having berated him, David Wood could only sigh and look for a solution.

However, the direction this situation was taking was even more unsettling than they had anticipated.
