Chapter 2244: Chapter 2248

“That’s Brian’s uncle, Aldrich’s father.

He’s probably here to plead with Brian to spare Aldrich,” Rosalynn explained.

As a rising star in the business world, Lyndon had been keeping tabs on the Hughes Group.

He knew that Brian had recently regained control of the company.

Internal conflicts were common in wealthy families, much like in Lyndon’s own family.

Recalling how he had almost been killed by his relatives, Lyndon pursed his lips tightly.

Meanwhile, Brian was speaking to Chase in a cold tone.

“Chase, there’s nothing more to discuss.

Aldrich has committed serious crimes, and the evidence is solid.

Even if I wanted to help, the law will still punish him.

”

Desperate, Chase pleaded, “No, Brian.

If you agree to show mercy, I can handle the rest.

I can use my connections to help Aldrich.

At least he won’t be sentenced to death.

”

Chase believed that if Brian would

relent, he could leverage his connections to lessen Aldrich’s punishment, saving his life and possibly reducing his sentence in the future.

Aldrich might stand a chance to be released early.

As long as Aldrich was alive, they still had a chance to challenge Brian.

Brian glanced at Chase, easily reading his thoughts.

“Chase, I’ll say it once more.

Aldrich has broken the law, and his fate is now in the hands of the justice system.

There’s no point in discussing this further.

”

Seeing that Brian remained unmoved, despite his lengthy plea, Chase felt a mix of desperation and anger.

He suppressed his temper and continued to beg, “Brian, what will it take for you to spare Aldrich? This is all my fault.

I fueled his resentment, teaching him to wait and strike back.

I wanted him to succeed where I failed.

But Brian, he’s my only son.

I’ll even kneel if that’s what it takes.

Please, show him mercy.

”

Chase made a move to kneel, but Brian’s firm voice stopped him.

“Save your breath, Chase.

I won’t repeat my father’s mistake.

I don’t have the power to change the law.

This matter is out of my hands.

Is there anything else you need to say? If not, I’m leaving.

”

Brian’s resolute tone left no room for negotiation, and the weight of his words settled heavily in the air.

Looking at Brian’s retreating figure, Chase slowly straightened his knees, anger and malice flickering in his eyes.

He thought to himself, “Brian, you’re truly heartless.

If my son dies, you won’t have a moment of peace.

”

Brian approached Rosalynn and was surprised to see Lyndon, Tilda, and Sheldon with her.

He slipped his arm around Rosalynn’s waist and nodded to them.

“What a coincidence to run into you guys here,” he said.

“Brian, Lyndon and Tilda brought Sheldon for his vaccination,”

Rosalynn explained.

“Nice to meet you,” Sheldon greeted Brian politely.
