    Chapter 357 50 Million Dors in Compensation


    Seeing that Saul had apologized, Jessica and Kevin lowered their heads.


    Meanwhile, Cora was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she started trembling.


    All the aggrievedness she felt exploded out of her, and her tears kept flowing.


    She was indeed a member of the lowest ranks of society.


    If not for Caspian, she and Flora might be dead by now.


    Cora led Flora over to Caspian and Willow. Then, nodding, she said, “Mr. Lynch, Ms. Stewart, thank yo


    u so much.


    She dared not imagine what would’ve happened to her and Flora if they hadn’t met Caspian and Willow


    .


    The Masseys had no regard for unimportant people like her.


    Meanwhile, her sobs got on Saul’s nerves.


    Exasperated, he took out a check and scribbled a figure on it.


    “Here!” Saul said as he passed the check to Cora with great reluctance. His heart ached for the money


    he had to spend. After all, 50 million dors was no small sum.


    But because of Caspian, he had to fork out all that money.


    Saul was disgruntled, but he couldn’t do anything about it. If he didn’t hand over the money, Caspian mi


    ght get the authorities to investigate the Masseys. If that happened, the family would lose far more than


    just 50 million dors.


    It might spell the end for the entire Massey family.


    Saul didn’t want to win the battle but lose the war. He could still discern what was truly important.


    “That’s…”


    Cora froze in shock as she stared at the 50 million dor check.


    Hands trembling, she dared not take it.


    50 million dors was an unimaginable sum to Cora.


    She only earned a little more than a thousand a month as a street cleaner. She would never earn 50 mi


    llion dors in her lifetime.


    Her sudden change in fortune overwhelmed her.


    “What’s the matter? You don’t want it? I’ll take it back if you don’t,” Saul snapped.


    He wanted to get out of this ce at once. Just the sight of Caspian alone suffocated him and


    reminded him of the amount of money he was losing—courtesy of the former.


    “Well…”


    Cora was still hesitant. She didn’t know whether to take the check or not.


    She nced at Caspian to seek his opinion.


    “Take it, Madam Upton. You deserve to bepensated. Go on. With me around, no one will dare to d


    o anything to you,” Caspian dered coolly.


    He knew what she was worried about. Compared to the Masseys, she was like an insignificant


    speck of dust. Furthermore, she had witnessed just how vicious the Masseys were.


    The Masseys could easily wipe her off the face of this if they wanted to.


    With Caspian’s assurance, Cora finally had the guts to reach out and take the check, though. her hand


    s kept trembling the whole time.


    It was 50 million dors! What an unthinkable sum that was to her.


    Cora couldn’t describe the emotions she felt.


    Meanwhile, Saul was upset beyond words.


    After taking a deep breath topose himself, Saul looked at Caspian and asked, “We can leave now,


    right?”


    “Sure,” Caspian replied with a nod. “But before that, I have a word of advice.”


    His expression turned icy as he continued, “There’s no way of hiding the truth. You know very well what


    you Masseys have done. If you want to save yourselves before


    it’s toote, turn yourselves in. Maybe you’ll get a more lenient sentence.”


    Saul stiffened.


    He picked up on the hostility in Caspian’s words and figured thetter didn’t intend to let the Masseys o


    ff the hook.


    Caspian was merely holding back for the time being,


    Faking innocence, Saul retorted, “That’s nonsense. I don’t know what the hell you’re saying!”


    In reality, he was fraught with anxiety.


    “Let’s go!” Saul barked before leading Jessica and Kevin out of Riverside Vi.


    As Kevin walked out, he nced at Eric. He knew that Eric was done for.


    Eric was still kneeling with a hollow expression, while Diego was lying injured on the floor. Caspian n


    ced at both men before instructing, “Take them away. Hand them over to the Inspector General’s office!


    ”


    “Mr. Lynch! Please have mercy! Since I gave you the records, please go easy on me!” Diego shouted.


    s, no matter what he said, Caspian remained unmoved.


    On the other hand, Eric didn’t even bother to speak. He didn’t want to fight to get out of this situation an


    ymore. He knew it was pointless, so he didn’t want to waste his breath.


    “Hubby, is the situation really that simple?” Willow murmured after approaching Caspian.


    She had remained quiet all along because she didn’t think it was right for her to get involved.


    After all, Saul was still her uncle, and she didn’t want the Masseys to end up too terribly.


    However, deep down inside, she knew that Eric couldn’t havemitted all those crimes alone.


    Therefore, she didn’t try to put in a good word for the Masseys. If she did, she would’ve felt bad for all t


    he people who had suffered at the hands of the Massey family.


    Willow chose to have faith in Caspian, and from the looks of it now, he didn’t seem to be going after the


    Masseys. That was rather unlike him.


    “It’s not that simple, of course. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated,” Caspian replied with a


    faint smile.


    Willow shook her head sullenly. True enough, things weren’t quite so simple, and Caspian would get to


    the bottom of things.


    s, the Masseys had brought the whole thing upon themselves.


    Meanwhile, Kate’s greed was stirred up by the 50 million dor check that Cora was holding.


    She didn’t care about the situation between Caspian and the Masseys.


    It didn’t matter that she was a Massey. All she cared about was money!


    Walking up to Cora with a haughty expression, Kate shamelessly held out her hand and shrieked, “Hand


    With a scornful expression, she continued, “A street cleaner like you doesn’t deserve to have 50 million


    shame? Can you even live with yourself if you ept the money?”


    Cora froze. She thought Kate had a point. She shouldn’t be epting this money.


    Since Kate was Willow’s mother and Caspian’s mother–inw, it seemed reasonable


    enough to give the money to Kate instead.


    But Cora didn’t understand why Kate had to degrade her that way. Why did a man as principled and righ


    as Caspian have such an unreasonable mother–inw?


    Nevertheless, Cora dared not say anything. After all, she was merely an impoverished member of societ

    pleased with Cora’s silence. She reached out to snatch the check away from Cora.


    “Hold it!” Caspian snapped as he came over.


    He grabbed the check and stuffed it into Cora’s pocket.
