Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 587

When Ethan was taken to the police station, Janet contacted his lawyer, prompting him to come as soon as possible.

"Sir, the Lester family is suing you." As soon as he arrived at the police station, the lawyer handed the file to Ethan.

Ethan looked through it and sneered coldly. "I didn't expect them to take action so quickly." "Seth is the plaintiff. He's suing you on behalf of his brother under the charge of intentional injury. The hospital has provided the prognosis, which points to Ritchie's paralysis as a result of falling down the stairs." The lawyer systematically handed the materials and photos to Ethan.

Ethan didn't even bother to go through them and tossed all the papers on the table. In an almost leisurely tone, he simply said, "You know what to do."

The lawyer understood immediately. After gathering all the files, he bowed slightly and left to get to work.

In fact, a week ago, Ethan had called his lawyer to inform him that he would receive a lawsuit sometime soon, so the lawyer was already prepared for this moment.

After he left, Ethan kept silent.

In fact, he had been expecting all of this.

A week ago, Ethan secretly asked his subordinate, Luis, to take charge of a project and contact Ritchie. Because the Larson Group was pulling some strings, the Lester Silk Fabric didn't receive any orders in the past month. At the chance of getting a new project, Ritchie accepted it without hesitation. He and Luis were in frequent contact because of this so-called project and often shared meals to discuss the cooperation.

On the day of the accident, Ethan had instructed Luis to ask Ritchie out for dinner. Luis was good at getting people to drink, and that was precisely what he did with Ritchie.

After getting plastered, Ritchie decided to get a room in the hotel.

"Why not go home instead?" Luis put down his glass and squinted at Ritchie curiously.

"My brother said that Ethan's coming home to see Grandma today. If I go home, all hell will break loose. The less trouble, the better." As Ritchie rambled on drunkenly, he stood up to leave.

Luis smiled meaningfully. "He's just a bastard child. Why are you so afraid of him? If you don't go back and teach him a lesson, he'll probably think that you're a coward."

The drunken Ritchie couldn't stand such provocation. He kicked the chair nearby furiously and roared, "How could I be afraid of a bastard like him?"

Then, he stormed off angrily.

Seeing that Ritchie had fallen right into his trap, Luis texted Ethan to say that Ritchie was on his way back home.
