A Threat To Divorce
The moment Ethan laid eyes on his team of lawyers, he barked harshly at them. "What's taking so long? Why haven't I been granted bail yet?!"
His head lawyer dropped his briefcase on the only table in the visitation room. "Sir, we've applied for bail, but unfortunately, it's been denied. The victim is demanding $2.5 million in damages."
Ethan's eyes widened in shock, "What?! You can't be serious!"
The head lawyer went on, "His lawyer has made it clear: if we don't pay the damages, they won't drop the charges. Our only option now is to take this to court."
Ethan had to sit down and catch his breath, "What the hell?! This is extortion! Why is the amount so large?"
One of his lawyers replied, "Sir the car that you crashed into was a limited edition, with it's starting price at $45M."
Forty five million? Ethan cracked a nervous sweat.
