CEO's Reborn Wife

”Bright Sampton, I won’t allow you to risk your future like this!” Jane Sampson’s tone grew severe, ”You’re only in your 20s, and him? How old is he already? Why should a man who has been an adult for several decades make a mistake and have such a young person like you bear the risk?”

”If you take on this risk, will he appreciate your kindness? You’ll put him in a sanatorium, and he will only curse you! Only hate you! Eventually, he’ll cause you even more trouble!”

”Don’t you care about your future? Don’t you care about your reputation? Do you want to end up in prison together with him later?” Jane Sampson asked. ”Have you thought about these outcomes?”

Bright Sampton had considered it, but even thinking about it was of no use.

Because Bright couldn’t just stand by and watch as their father ended up in prison.

Bright couldn’t do it.

As long as Bright was human, as long as Bright could think of even one solution, Bright couldn’t do nothing.

”Bright Sampton, in any case, I disagree with you taking such a big risk to do this. You should know that once this matter hits twitter hot topics, a countless number of eyes will be watching it.” Jane Sampson finished speaking and sighed heavily, ”Bright Sampton, he’s so grown up now; if he makes a mistake, he should bear the consequences himself, not you.”

Jane Sampson, in the moment of greatest anxiety, almost said, ”If you still recognize me as your sister,” but she held back, knowing that saying it would truly hurt Bright Sampton.

”The Sampton family has no hereditary illness in this regard and no precedent. Rushing into things has great risks.” The lawyer timely reminded Bright Sampton.

”If the situation isn’t worsening further, under the current conditions, is there a way to remedy it, to keep his sentence between three to five years?” James Black suddenly asked.

”Yes.” The lawyer nodded, ”Actively cooperate with the police investigation, proactively compensate the victim’s loss, will result in sentence reduction, and under no further adverse evidence, keeping it between three to five years isn’t a problem.”

”Then let’s do that.” Jane Sampson quickly looked towards Bright Sampton, ”Let him stay in prison for three to five years to clear his mind, so he doesn’t find opportunities outdoors to scam again, ultimately affecting you in turn.”

”His body is still fine; after staying inside for three to five years, sending him directly to a retirement home afterwards is okay.” Compensating the victim’s loss, no matter the amount of money, Jane Sampson was willing to give it to Bright Sampton.

As long as money can slightly resolve the issue, then it’s not a problem. Jane Sampson particularly didn’t want to see Bright Sampton take risks.

”Three to five years is not short for us, but for him, it’s already quite long.” Bright Sampton deliberated overnight, and in the end, couldn’t bring himself to be so ruthless, couldn’t do it.

Moreover, the lawyer said that it requires their father to actively cooperate with the police investigation for the chance of a discretionary sentence reduction, but the issue is, not only is their father still not clear-headed, more importantly, even if done, it can’t guarantee it would truly be three to five years.

Three years might be bearable, but what if it’s five years? Seven years? Or in the event he doesn’t cooperate, it could directly be ten years?

If there’s even more adverse evidence, the lawyer mentioned on the road back yesterday that it could be more than ten years.
