Chapter 310: 0310 He’s simply a brute_1

The rich kid who actually caused the fatal accident reported it to his family as soon as he returned.

The parents of the other party were also wealthy people in Sina and reacted extremely quickly.

They immediately seized the surveillance footage from the scene, and even bribed a batch of people, determined to make Edward Wood the scapegoat at all costs.

David Wood’s people couldn’t find the key evidence, so they couldn’t prove that Edward Wood wasn’t the one driving the car at the time.

They certainly knew someone was pulling strings, as there were other surveillance videos that could prove Edward Wood wasn’t driving at that time, just missing the key segment.

But the other party adamantly denied it, and with some influence in the country, they forced David Wood to make a harsh statement, "You should know I have a granddaughter, Ellen Young, who is of significant status in Sina. If anything happens to my grandson Edward Wood because of this, do you think I would let you off?"

The other party was indeed intimidated by his words.

Ellen Young’s affairs had been causing such a stir these last few days, almost shocking the entire nation, not to mention her connection with the Wood Family.

But they both had sons, and if Edward Wood went free, their son would be in trouble.

This was a criminal case, with no possibility of an out-of-court settlement. Even if the victim’s family forgave them, they could not avoid trial.

The difference lay in the length of the sentence.

The evidence in this case was overwhelming; there was no denying it.

David Wood wasn’t merely speaking empty words; he was well aware that if this matter wasn’t resolved, they would have to remain in America indefinitely, and the Wood group back home could not be left unattended, so he could only temporarily send his son back.

But his son was a useless fool, and even after returning, the Wood Family’s affairs would still have to be managed by David Wood. After all, he was aging and had been angered several times. He also had the issue with Carol Sean, and before that matter was settled, he suddenly suffered a brain hemorrhage and was admitted to the hospital.

Because he was too anxious and overwhelmed with numerous matters, his condition wasn’t good following the hospitalization for the brain hemorrhage.

With him in a coma, the Wood Family was nearly in chaos.

Without their mainstay, not even Carol Sean could be rescued. With Daniel Wood returning to the country, Olivia Johnson was now in charge.

What could Olivia Johnson care about anyone else?

She nearly panicked in a foreign land all at once.

With all the issues piling up, Edward Wood did pay a large bail sum and temporarily got out.

But on the very day of his release, David Wood fell into a coma and was rushed to the hospital for surgery. Even the doctors said that while his life was saved, he might suffer severe after-effects upon waking up and cautioned the family not to harbor too much hope.

Olivia Johnson sent Edward Wood to the hospital to watch over his grandfather, since he was still the accused awaiting trial and couldn’t leave America.

But unexpectedly, Edward Wood found the hospital too boring and didn’t want to go, so he made Daisy Wood go instead.

Daisy was somewhat incredulous at the time, "Bro, I’ve been extremely busy with mom these past two days dealing with your case, and you’re of no help. What’s wrong with staying in the hospital watching over grandpa?"

Edward Wood was indifferent, "Why should I stay to watch over him? Isn’t he lying there being looked after by someone? Am I a nurse? There’s nothing in the hospital. It’s boring to death. I’ll wait for you at home, playing video games."

They owned a house in America too.

Daisy was stunned.

She instantly felt an immense chill. She thought she could understand the behavior of Olivia Johnson and the Wood Family, but her brother—could he possibly be so heartless?

No, he wasn’t heartless.

He was purely an animal!

Edward Wood continued, "Isn’t grandma still locked up? Hurry up and get grandma out so she can take care of grandpa."
