An Understated Dominance Chapter 297

“Enough. Stop fighting. Let us know what happened first.” Florence said worriedly.

“I’m not sure what happened either.” James sobbed. “I blacked out after drinking with my friends. By the time I woke up, I was already in the car, and there was wreckage everywhere. I was so scared I ran away immediately, but I got caught the same night.” “You did a hit–and–run? Do you know how severe this crime is? You won’t be getting out without a decade or two of jail time!” Dahlia spat.

“What?” James immediately paled. “I’m still young. I don’t want to go to jail. Please save me!” “You have to pay the price for your mistakes. How can you think that you’ll be safe after killing someone?” Dahlia sighed. Although she loved her brother dearly, she could do nothing about his crime.

“Sis, Mom, help me! I swear I’ll never do this again! I’ve learned my lesson, I swear!” James swore frantically. unable to stand the thought of living out his life in prison.

“Calm down, James. I’ll call you aunt right now. With the Glenstead Nicholsons‘ help and some money, we should be able to get your out.” Florence quickly drew out her phone and called Jane. “Hello? Jane? James is in danger. He ran his car into somebody and killed them. Could you make a few calls to get him out?” “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Florence, but Dahlia ran away from her date last night, so our family is very unhappy. They’ve given the order that unless Dahlia marries Mr. Longford, our family will not be providing any assistance,” Jane responded calmly.

“What?” Florence stiffened and turned to look at Dahlia questioningly.

“I’ll never marry him!” Dahlia immediately refused.
