Elliot remained silent, turning his head to look at Dylan, the victim of the incident.
Dylan's expression was furious as he firmly refused, "I don't want to see him right now. I might have a panic attack! Let him talk to Mae's lawyer instead!"
Elliot understood and glanced at the National Investigation Bureau officer.
The officer immediately got the message, bowed slightly, and closed the door again.
The conversation in the ward continued.
Elliot analyzed the situation and said, "Technically, this is a family dispute. The usual approach is to mediate and reach a settlement. If Nathaniel covers the medical expenses, compensates you, and apologizes in person, earning your forgiveness, the matter could be resolved quietly."
Dylan quickly responded, "I won't accept his apology or compensation! Mae's well-off now too, and we don't need his money! I want him to face legal consequences. He's violent, and he needs to divorce Mae. He should be the one at fault in the divorce, and Mae should get custody of Callum!"
Though he was angry, Dylan was well-articulated.
He even managed to gesture animatedly despite only having one mobile arm, clearly worked up.
Mavis was at a loss for words.
Her foolish brother probably did not realize just how wealthy and powerful the Nicholls family was in Froania.
Her money was probably just a drop in the ocean compared to theirs.
Elliot explained the legal perspective to Dylan, "If you don't accept a settlement, we'll have to follow standard procedures. You struck first, and while you're more severely injured, his actions could only be considered excessive self-defense. Based on your injury assessment, he could face jail time, but you'd also be detained for disrupting public order if you don't settle."
Dylan was stunned, and he fell silent.
Not only did he get beaten up and his arm broken, but he might face detention too?

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
