Chapter 194: Consultant (Long Chapter)

Daisy had processed Val's bail.

Val walked out of the police station's main entrance with his head hung low.

Robert, Luke's grandfather, was waiting outside the main gate; he had paid the bail.

In the United States, there weren't many who could produce tens of thousands of dollars for bail instantly, but Robert was quite capable.

Val sighed and, unable to look at his father, said, "Sorry, I screwed things up again..."

The anticipated storm didn't come; instead, Robert patted Val's shoulder,

"It's not your fault, it's society's problem. Everything is measured by money. Serious matters are taken lightly.

Ultimately, it's the judicial system's inaction, the ridiculous policy of zero-dollar bail, a bunch of lazybones living off taxpayers' money—they are the real culprits behind this mess, condoning crime.

You were just fulfilling your responsibilities."

Robert didn't blame Val this time; instead, he affirmed his actions.
