There was a sudden silence in the yard, and everyone looked at Jeffrey with surprise in their eyes.
Cyril was also completely stunned, his face was burning with pain, but he never expected that his father would slap him in front of so many people.
"Evil! Do you dare to disobey the city lord's palace?" Jeffrey said sternly.
"I..." Cyril was frightened and frightened. He didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look to Denise for help.
"Master, you have to help our son. He has been wronged. How dare he do anything illegal and against the precepts." Denise came forward, wiping her tears and begging: "You and the City Lord Sir, please tell him not to arrest Cyril."
Snapped!
Jeffrey raised his hand and gave another loud slap, this one falling on Denise's face.
When the servants in the yard saw this, their eyes widened a bit, and they all looked away, not daring to look further.
Cyril was also stunned, looking at the beaten Denise and the cold-faced Jeffrey with his mouth open, and his heart was already half cold.
Mrs. Denise was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. She covered her face and still looked at Jeffrey in disbelief. Her voice suddenly became sharper and she wailed: "You...you Hit me!"
"Loving mothers often fail! If you hadn't been so pampered and doted on him, he wouldn't be in the situation he is today. Up to now, you still don't want to repent, and you still want to do evil things. If you don't beat you, why are the family rules true?" Jeffrey looked at him coldly! Holding her.
"You're such a heartless man, you beat your wife at an early age. If it weren't for my natal family's help, you wouldn't have the illustrious family background you have today. Now you think I'm old and lustful, and you want to beat me to death, don't you?! I told you It's not that easy for you! Today I..." Denise sat down on the ground and started to act.
"Take her down!" Jeffrey ordered coldly without even looking at her.
Although some old ladies on the side looked embarrassed, they did not dare to disobey grandpa's order. After all, big mouths are not delicious, so they took Denise away with half a pull and half support.
"You caused the matter yourself, and you are responsible for it. This time, no one will wipe your butt for you." Jeffrey glanced at Cyril, almost nodded his head at the city lord official beside him, and turned around Leave.
"Father..." Cyril took two steps to catch up in panic, but was grabbed by the shoulders of two officers.
"Master Cyril, please come with us now." The leading official smiled, waved his hand, and dragged Cyril away.
The servants stepped out of the way one after another, and no one dared to stop him even though Cyril screamed at his throat.
Although none of them knew what exactly Cyril had committed, they all had a consensus in their hearts that Master Cyril was completely finished, and Miss Gloria would have to make the final decision in this family from now on.
The two criminals were detained and taken to the City Lord's Mansion. Also present at the City Lord's Mansion were Mag, who had changed his appearance, and Cynthia, who was present as a witness.
The chief judge of the case is Dix, an old friend of Mag's.
As for the efficiency of the City Lord's Mansion being so high, it was actually because he said hello to Dix and should have reported it to Michael, so as soon as the paper was handed over, the person was detained directly.
Cyril and Delma were taken separately to record confessions. Under the supervision of spiritual magicians, as ordinary people, they could not lie and could only tell the whole process.
The facts of the case are actually very simple, it is a breach of contract case.
As long as the money can be repaid, the guilt is not big, but the amount is huge, so the two people were arrested first.
Dix looked at the confessions of the two and the contract provided by Mag, and nodded: "It seems that the case is very clear. The two of you signed this contract with Lev, promised to be responsible for breach of contract, and there was someone as a guarantee. People take responsibility.
Now Mr. Lev has issued proof that the original author gave up writing the book and requested that it be removed from bookstores. This is a complete violation of the terms of the contract, and the prior commitments made by the two of you were fraudulent.
Now Mr. Lev demands to terminate the contract and requires you to compensate the corresponding amount of 60 million copper coins. "
"Bitch! You're kidding me! You clearly promised that you would continue to write well!" Delma pointed at Cynthia standing on the witness stand and yelled.
"I have gone to your publishing house this morning to clearly inform my attitude. Many people in your company have heard our conversations and disputes. As for the agreement you mentioned, I don't know about it. You can provide evidence." Cynthia calmly said said.
"You lied! You obviously said that!" Delma grabbed the railing, her knuckles turned white, and veins popped out on her forehead.
Sixty million copper coins, even if he and Cyril had half of it each, it would still be thirty million copper coins.
Even if he sells the publishing house, he can't afford the compensation!
"Be quiet in the courtroom!" Dix shouted coldly.
Cyril looked at Delma, his heart already feeling cold.
Thirty million copper coins was a large amount of liquidity for the Moulton family, and for him, it was money that he couldn't even get out of his pocket.
In the past, he might have thought that his father would come to help him find out.
But today Jeffrey has told him clearly that this matter will not help him at all.
So where will he find these 30 million copper coins? !
"Sir! Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. I was deceived by him into signing. I didn't get anything. This matter has nothing to do with me. I shouldn't have to bear anything, right?" Cyril looked at Dix. said.
"Isn't it written in black and white? You are the guarantor and bear half of the liability, so you get half of the compensation." Dix glanced at him and smiled: "And it's not like you didn't get anything. As you have already said in your confession, Delma promised you five million copper coins in benefits, but you are taking money from others to do things for them, how can you do anything good without taking risks?"
Cyril's face suddenly turned pale, and he pointed at Delma and Mag and said: "Then... they teamed up to deceive me! How could such a coincidence happen? I just signed the contract in the morning, and I didn't even have the money yet. If you get it, is this a breach of contract?! Sir, I was wronged! I was the one who was deceived!"
Dix ignored him and directly pronounced the verdict: "The facts of this case are simple. The evidence is clear. Delma and Cyril breached the contract and committed fraud. They paid Lev 60 million copper coins according to the contract amount, and each of them took half." , respectively paying compensation of 30 million copper coins.
In view of the large amount of money, you two will be temporarily detained. You will ask your family to raise liquidated damages and send them to the city lord's mansion. After paying the full amount, you will be released as soon as possible with the understanding of the victim. If you are unable to pay the liquidated damages in full, you will be convicted based on the difference! "
"My lord is wise." Mag smiled and handed over his hand.
