A month passed in a flash and the work load had increased overtime. Nikolai was able to win the case against Conrad after his family took upon themselves to go ahead with him suing Conrad for defamation which drove him to commit suicide. That is a logic reason you can present but they didn't have much evidence since all the evidence Nikolai brought to prove Conrad was driving him down was actually true so in the end they have to pay Nikolai all the money he lost because of Conrad.
Nikolai tried dropping the case against Conrad after his death but since his family pushed it he asked for that in return and now his family is trying to convince him to compensate with them but he has turned a deaf ear since they brought it upon themselves.
