Chapter 337
Charles apanied her to the police station.
"We will charge Carrie for wounding with intent, and Mr.Stephenson has told us about that, so we will
pay special attention to this traffic ident."
Police officer Capener, who was taking over with their case, maintained a serious attitude.
"Since Carrie is still hospitalized, and the hospital has detected that she has a mental illness, you
should be extra careful if she lodges an appeal, for many criminals will deliberately escape the legal
penalty by the means of mental illness:"
"Is Carrie really mentally ill?"
Hearing this, Christina was flummoxed.
"It doesn''t matter if she''s really ill or not, now that she has already broken thew by driving
intentionally into people.At worst, we shall hire awyer to fight against her in court, no matter how long
it takes.Who will be afraid of her?"
Charles didn''t have much sympathy for Carrie, but he caught another point and turned to look at
Christina doubtfully.
"Did Chandler interfere in this case?"
He and Chandler almost grew up together like real brothers, and he knew so well that how scheming
Chandler was, but when did Chandler care to poke his nose into someone else''s affairs?
Seated opposite them, Police officer Capener heard them mention Chandler and added,
"Mr.Stephenson has made outstanding contributions to C city, as he has actively participated in the
public welfare of our city every year and continued to donate arge sum of money to help countless
poor families.This case involves Mr.Stephenson''s rtives, so our superiors will pay extra attention to
it."
Charles was bbergasted.
Why didn''t he know that his brother liked to be a hero in obscurity? The Stephenson family was a
literary family, with four generations of professors and academicians in distinguished academies.
However,pared with the traditionally rich families like the Hopkins family and Shepherd family, they
definitely did not have the same level of financial resources.
The Stephensons was particrly well-off, but the annual huge donations were still a burden for them.
Charles''s mind was a swirl of wild guesses and nonsenses.
Was Chandler not getting along with his money? Or was he so morally inferior that he should learn
from Chandler for his noble spirit of counting money for little? Christina didn''t even care to pay him any
attention, but asked police officer Capener directly, "If Carrie appeals with reference to her mental
illness, what is our chance of winning?"
"That''s hard to tell.The judge tends to give a judgment based on whether the perpetrator''s motive was
voluntary at that time and the seriousness of the consequences of the traffic ident."
As he spoke, the policeman opposite them lowered his voice on purpose to give them a reminder, "It
also depends on the abilities of thewyer you hire."
Thewyers found by Charles and the others must be among the first-tier.
It was the reality that some topwyers could turn ck into white, and even turn small matter into a
big one so that they could subjugate their enemies forever.
Connie''s anxiety was in fact due to her fear to all these rtions.
After enquiring, Christina thanked the officer and left the police station.
"Christina, you don''t have to worry about this.Do everything you please as usual and leave these to
us."
After leaving the police station, Charles was texting lowering his head.
Christina subconsciously nced at the screen of his phone, but he immediately blocked the screen
with his palm as if he was doing something stealthy and ulterior.
Charles tried to put on a solemn face, which seemed to be diverting her attention.
"By the way, don''t the Hampton family and the Dickens family know about the matter concerning
Carrie?"
Carrie had not divorced Cory, so she was still the daughter-inw of the Hampton family.
However, the Hamptons had not yet made any move until now.
Also, Connie was the only one involved on the side of the Dickens family.
"I didn''t mention it to the Dickens family."
Christina''s tone was calm, and she took a few more examining nces at Charles''s seemingly guilty
face.
"This matter should be handled ording to formal legal procedures, and you don''t need to interfere
too much either:’ Charles grunted a casual reply, as his phone rang right on time.
"I have some work to attend to.Take a taxi back to the Dickens family:"
Holding his phone, he trotted hastily towards his car and said quickly, as if he was really busy.
Christina stood still and looked at his hurried figure, feeling that this guy was sneaking around and
hiding something from her.
Charles swiftly got into the car and mmed the door.
He looked out the window at Christina with a guilty conscience, took a deep breath, and then pressed
the answer button on his phone.
"Patrick, you''ve said that someone had been doing harm to Christina for some grudge unknown.I have
a clue now.I guess it might be Cecilia..."
He held the phone and exined to Patrick as logically as possible.
"She''s hiding it very well.Carrie''s car-crashing was also provoked by Cecilia.She won''t do it herself, but
she is rather adept at doing harm through the hands of another.So I’m going to send someone to
investigate her in detail."
"You have already found someone to investigate?"
Charles squeezed the phone, eximing in a surprised tone.
Then he got slightly dejected, for he finally found a new clue and something to do, but it was cut off by
someone else.He asked sullenly, "Then what do I need to do now?"
The man on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and then asked ina deep voice, "How is
she?"
"She" referred to Christina.
Hearing his question, Charles perked up a little.
"Carrie drove to crash her, but Christina was luckily unscathed nor disabled.But her friend Crystal was
slightly injured, which made it even more troublesome.Christina was so stubborn, and she would rather
she was the one getting hurt, oh, and Chandler scolded her..."
"Chandler had scolded her?"

The man on the other end suddenly interrupted him.
"Actually, I''m not sure."
Charles was positively excited about the topic.
"Chandler and Crystal seemed to have developed something beyond friendship.Chandler also took the
initiative to intervene in this traffic ident, and I guess he felt sorry for Crystal, and then he vented his
anger on Christina."
"Oh,"
Patrick responded in an ambiguous tone.
The tone sounded a little grim and creepy.
Charles was startled, as he realized that he might have said too much.
Ever the fast speaker, Charles swore that he didn''t mean to get Chandler entangled in.
He just wanted to share gossip with Patrick, but he might have caused Patrick to hold a grudge against
his brother by ident.
Charles became cautious and asked a question more secure.
"What are you going to do about Carrie?"
"Send her to jail." Patrick replied coldly.
Charles wobbled.
"But Christina told me just now not to interfere too much and leave it to follow the normal judicial
procedures."
Christina disdained to suppress the Yankey sisters with dirty means and Charles also deemed that the
traffic ident did not result in serious consequences, besides, Carrie was instigated, so there was no
need to go too far.
"She intended to crash people with a car.
Although this time she failed, she''d definitely try the second or the third time.This time Christina
escaped by luck, but what if it happens again? Are you going to take up the responsibilities?"
Patrick''s voice was cold and resolute.
Charles frowned as he tried toe up with a reply.
If Carrie really hit Christina this time, no one could bear the consequences.
