Chapter 611
Patrick had always valued his eldest son. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
His gaze turned somber. “The only way to resolve this now is to find Serena. We can only get out of this mess if she agrees to let us off the hook p>
It truly was their only option.
After the massive scandal today, it was highly unlikely that any corporation or enterprise would want anything to do with the Wynn family ever again.
They had no choice but to beg Serena.
However, before Benedict could say another word.
Marianne, still nursing her grievances from the slaps, immediately bristled at the thought of going to Serena. “Last time we talked about begging that wretched… begging Serena, we waited out there for ages and practically groveled. And what did she do? She didn’t lift a finger to help us. She just humiliated us and made us look like absolute fools p>
“She won’t even give us the time of day. What’s the point of begging her p>
Patrick, who had just managed to calm down, was instantly re-ignited by Marianne’s reluctant, victimized tone. He slapped her across the face again. “You still have the audacity to complain? This is all your fault! If Serena ignores us, then you will beg her until you have no pride left! You will plead with her to forgive us and help us p>
After that latest string of slaps.
Marianne’s face was completely bruised and swollen beyond recognition.
She was furious but too terrified to make a sound, merely covering her face and shedding angry, humiliated tears.
Benedict felt a massive headache coming on. Frustrated, he lowered his voice and snapped, “Mom, can you just stop talking?
“Do you realize that Hailey is being sued? If Miss Lancaster decides to press charges, we’ll have to pay an astronomical settlement to Isabella!
“And… the person Hailey plagiarized is Queen! Do you have any idea how much the name Queen is worth? For infringing on her copyright and destroying her reputation de you know how much we’ll have to pay p>
“The compensation for both combined is something the Wynn family couldn’t pay off even if we sold every last asset and scraped by for a hundred years p>
Seeing her usually respectful eldest son lose his temper and speak to her with such impatience for the first time, Marianne finally grasped the severity of the situation.
The hand covering her face went rigid. “That… that much money. What happens if we can’t pay it p>
Benedict gripped her shoulders, enunciating every word. “Then, Hailey goes to prison p>
All the color drained from Marianne’s lips.
“Whether Hailey goes to prison or not isn’t the point, the point is the money!” Logan Wynn’s face was deathly pale. “The Wynn family.
simply can’t afford those skynet
settlements! If we can’t pay.
everything we own will definitely be seized and auctioned off We’ll be ruined p>
He had no intention of losing his luxurious lifestyle as a wealthy heir, and he certainly didn’t want to end up sleeping on the streets!
“No!” Marianne reacted as if she had been physically struck, glaring sharply at Logan with a shrill voice. “Hailey cannot go to prison p>
“She suffered out in the world for twenty years! We haven’t even had the chance to make it up to her yet. How can we let her go to prison? No! We have to save her p>
Her poor, precious daughter had been lost to them since birth and had endured so much hardship.
They had just gotten her back. She hadn’t even begun to enjoy the life of a wealthy heiress, and now she was supposed to go to prison?
She absolutely refused to accept that!
Patrick let out a bitter, exasperated laugh. “Save her? With what? Even if you completely drained your family’s savings, we couldnt even scrape together a fraction of the cost! Once those court summons arrive we better all get used to the idea of sleeping on the streets p>
