Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage novel Chapter 796

After sending off the three Campbells, the few of them collapsed onto the sofa in defeat—that family was a difficult one to handle.

Meanwhile, Helen continued to ramble on and said, “You need to settle the money quickly, Sasha. You can’t let anything happen to your cousin. After all, your aunt…”

Sasha snapped back in frustration, “Stop it! I’ve already agreed to help him pay up. Is that not enough for you?”

With that, she dragged Matthew along and went upstairs.

Immediately after that, James headed inside as well and slammed the door shut.

Helen stood in the living room as tears streamed down her face. She said furiously, “How can you all be so ungrateful? If it weren’t for your aunt back then…”

Despite her efforts, no one was listening; the incident tonight had physically and mentally exhausted the entire family.

The next day, Mr. Manning personally went over to settle the matter. He was one of the most influential lawyers at Carson Law Firm, and he was extremely well-connected as well.

After a long and busy day, he finally resolved the issue.

However, the required compensation was pretty hefty—it was a whopping 1.6 million.

That night, the Campbells gathered at the Cunningham Residence while Mr. Manning explained the situation to all of them.

Chloe was stupefied as soon as she heard the amount. “1.6 million? Why can’t he just steal the money from someone else? It’s not like anyone ended up dead—why does he need such a huge compensation? Mr. Manning, y-you’re not trying to trick us, are you?”

Whatever it was, he couldn’t lose his temper for Matthew’s sake.

After leaving the villa in his car, Mr. Manning sent a text message to his lawyer group chat with a brief explanation of the situation.

In just a second, the group chat exploded with responses; nobody had ever seen such a bizarre client. At the same time, the group members swore that they wouldn’t be willing to take the case either.

Inside the villa, Chloe was still complaining in dissatisfaction. “What kind of lawyer is he, Matthew? Didn’t you say that you two were close? From what I see, he’s just here to scam us. Some people only scam their close friends; such things do happen, you know?”

Matthew’s brows knitted. “Mr. Manning is a professional, Aunt Chloe. He wouldn’t do such a thing. Besides, we’ve already agreed that our side will cover the compensation fee. What are you even mad about?”

Chloe glared at him wide-eyed. “Nonsense! Even if it’s your money, I can’t sit by and let someone else scam you. Do you think money grows on trees at your command? I’m just worried about my sister; did you collude with the lawyer to rip us off for another 600,000? Wait, that’s not right—something like this wouldn’t even need a few hundred thousand to settle. Are you really planning to suck us dry?”
