The lawyer skillfully read out the relevant treaties of the law, Abigail’s hand was constantly sweating. If the police check the fingerprints and find out that the real culprit was her sister, then her sister will never have the chance to go to Oxford University to continue her study.
Mr. Caunter helped her out.
“According to our investigation, you run a red light and you were driving a car that should be applied for scrapping three years ago. Therefore, you should take full responsibility for this accident.”
Abigail nodded apologetically if she was more resolute and didn’t let her sister drive the car, maybe this accident wouldn’t happen. That car should have been replaced a long time ago, but she needs to repay the debt she owed for her mother hospitalization costs and her sister’s education fees. All these years, she didn’t have any savings and that’s why she can’t afford to get a new car.
But she needs to run this business, so, she continues to use the worn-out delivery truck.
It was her fault!
The lawyer took out a document from his bag and placed in front of Abigail. “Here is the contract, you may read it, if you find it acceptable, then you can sign it, if not agreed, then this case will be handled by the authority.”
“I agree!” Without any consideration, Abigail signs her name on the contract.
“Very well. Does Miss Abigail still need to read the contents to understand the detail?” The lawyer asked with satisfaction after she signed the contract.
The girl in front of him seems didn’t know what kind of contract she was signing, and she was not knowing who the person signed the contract with her. The lawyer didn’t have the heart and kindly reminding her, hoping to get her attention.
But Abigail was so engrossed in the joy that his sister could be free of responsibility that she didn’t care about the content of the contract.
“Well, from today onwards, Miss Hanson will start fulfilling the contract and move to Caunter’s house, there will have some people will lead you and tell you the details.” The lawyer put away the deed and made a gesture of invitation.
So soon? Abigail stood up hesitantly. She knew that her sister must be still waiting for her. Although Will stays with her sister to avoid she came to the police station to surrender herself, it was necessary to notice her.
If this matter wasn’t resolved properly, she would never go to England to finish her studies.
She must get her sister out of the country as soon as possible!
She mustered up the courage and called the lawyer. “Can I have a call with my family?”
Seeing no response from the lawyer, she asked again. “Please, the only family I have is my sister, and I don’t want her to worry about me…”
The lawyer finally agreed to her request.
Abigail took out her old cell phone, but she didn’t dare to call her sister’s. So, she called Will.
“Will.” When the name was called out, Will’s was relieved and it was a weight off his mind.
“Are you alright? How are things work out? If you hadn’t asked me to keep an eye on Breslin, I would have come to the police station…”
“Will, I’m fine.” She was trying to change the topic.
“Breslin… is she okay?”
“Nope, she kept yelling at me that she was going to turn herself in and she almost got into a fight with me. I had no choice so I lock her in the house, you can hear that she still yelling at me.”
