Chapter 634: Chapter 604: The Past is Too Painful to Look Back On_2

-

Abigail Johnson leisurely walked from the other end of the hall, saw William Griffith and the others, and slowed down. She raised a faint smile and slowly approached them. Her gaze swept over them one by one, finally stopping at William Griffith and Cherish Turner. Mockingly, she said, "William Griffith, you’re amazing! You could actually go to this extent!"

"Speaking of amazing, no one is better than Miss Johnson, oh no, I should say Johnson Clan!" Yannis Griffith squinted his eyes and retorted.

Abigail Johnson laughed, "Hehe, with Daniel Peacock in jail, you two can be together in peace?" She turned to glare at William Griffith, and gritted her teeth, "Carry this burden for the rest of your lives! Hahahaha!" She walked out of the hall, her steps unsteady, and her whole body swaying.

Abigail Johnson laughed to herself as she left the police station, and people entering and exiting looked at her with strange gazes. She didn’t care. As she stood on the busy street, her mind suddenly went blank, and a subtle possibility emerged. If, from the beginning, it was just Daniel Peacock’s premeditated plan, then was that account just a smokescreen?

No, it’s impossible. How could there be such a stupid person in this world!

Would he transfer that dirty money into his account?

Abigail Johnson shook her head. She had not lost or failed.

Daniel Peacock lost, William Griffith lost, and Cherish Turner, that woman, lost even more! Abigail was the winner!

For now, Daniel Peacock was locked up in the police station, waiting for trial.

From start to finish, he maintained a silent attitude towards the police interrogations. In the dark room, the cold atmosphere, and even the sunlight seemed to be a luxury. He might need to get used to this kind of life. He sat on the bed leaning against the wall, looking up at the skylight to the blue sky outside, and the rain finally stopped.

Suddenly, he thought of the past.

The bits and pieces of his time with Cherish Turner, but the past was too bitter to look back on.

-

Since Daniel Peacock’s arrest, the police had submitted the case to the Attorney General’s office, and the lawsuit was inevitable. While they were running around to find any possibility to win the lawsuit for Daniel Peacock, more bad news came. Old Johnson had a heart attack the moment he found out about Daniel Peacock’s imprisonment and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Fortunately, he was treated in time, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If something happened to Old Johnson at this time, they would not be able to explain it to Daniel Peacock.

Old Johnson lay on the hospital bed, wearing an oxygen mask and breathing weakly. Uncle Liam stood by quietly. As he recalled the course of events, he suddenly regretted everything.

His ambition was too great, and now it had hurt Daniel Peacock and Fei Fei. If only he hadn’t been so deluded and agreed to their marriage, things might have been different.

Old Johnson struggled to speak, mumbling, "Ah Liam... I want to go to the police station... I want to turn myself in..."

"Master!" Uncle Liam shouted anxiously and relayed what William Griffith said, "President Griffith of the Griffith clan said that you can’t go! Nothing will happen to President Peacock, please rest assured!"

Old Johnson’s eyes were dim and unclear. When he closed them, tears suddenly flowed out, wetting the pillow.

The Griffith clan finally found some peace, but there were still many problems to deal with.

Everyone gathered in the office on the top floor to discuss solutions. Yannis Griffith frowned and said, "I just asked Lawyer Goodman, and he said that there’s less than a 30% chance of winning this case!"

"I’ve also contacted several lawyers who specialize in commercial cases, but they all say they will try their best to reduce the sentence to a minimum." Cherish Turner continued making phone calls and hung up just now, looking equally exhausted. If Daniel Peacock were imprisoned, he would waste so many years in jail, which was absolutely unacceptable.

"Let’s gather them all together and discuss how to handle this case!" Yannis Griffith concluded, and Cherish Turner nodded in agreement.

"I know someone who can definitely win this case!" Cherish Turner whispered.

"Who?" Yannis asked in surprise.

Cherish Turner said the name, "Oscar Winston."

Oscar Winston? The well-known top-notch lawyer Oscar Winston? Of course, Yannis Griffith and Yvette Chapman were familiar with this name. It was said that Oscar Winston once had a law firm in the United States, ranked number one in the country. As long as he personally took the case, each and every one was won. Even those sentenced to death could have their sentences changed to life imprisonment.

"It seems that Lawyer Winston doesn’t accept cases anymore!" Hailey Griffith previously had friends in Australia who tried to hire him for a case, but they were directly refused by his assistant. However, it wouldn’t hurt to try and maybe there would be a turnaround. "Why don’t we give it a shot?"

Cherish Turner was about to say that William Griffith and Mr. Winston were friends but was interrupted by him, "No need to try, he won’t accept it."

William Griffith had been silent all along, and his sudden remark was shocking.

"How do you know?" Yannis Griffith asked in confusion, not even having tried yet but already knowing the outcome?

William Griffith lowered his eyes, indifferently saying, "He has three rules when it comes to accepting cases. First, he won’t take uninteresting cases. Second, he won’t deal with ones he dislikes. Third, he won’t accept cases when he’s in a bad mood."

"So arrogant?" Yannis Griffith scoffed.

"Big brother, how do you know this so clearly?", William Griffith briefly replied, "I know him."

"Can we contact him then?"

William Griffith naturally knew Oscar Winston and had informed him over the phone, but he remained aloof. That guy would never come to Hail City if he didn’t want to join the excitement. His chest felt too suffocated, and he coughed softly. His handsome face suddenly became pale, and he mentioned the name of a hotel, "He’s here in Hail City."

"Big brother, why do you look so pale?" Hailey looked at his face and asked anxiously.
