---- Chapter 264 A few dayster, another case for ckwood Enterprises went to trial. Asher had flown to Germany early that morning to attend an important international business summit and wouldn''t return to Kingston until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. He couldn''t be there to observe Thalia''s court appearance. Thalia, with her strong professional skills and thorough preparation, walked out of the courthouse feeling confident and refreshed, She checked the time-.
Asher should be busy now. Though she missed him and wanted to call him, to hear his voice, Thalia held back. She didn''t want to disturb him while he was working. Today Thalia was driving her Porsche Panamera, the most understated and least expensive car in her garage. While still a luxury vehicle, it at least didn''t look quite as ---- shy. As usual, na was driving. Half an hourter, they approached thew firm. The road beneath the firm''s building was always congested with traffic.
It was now the midday rush hour, and the road waspletely jammed. The white Porsche Panamera crawled along in the long line of cars. suddenly, an elderly man appeared out of nowhere and copsed right in front of Thalia''s car. Driving over him was obviously not an option, so Thalia had to get out to check the situation. Just as she was about to open the door, something urred to her.
She looked up and asked na, "Is the dash cam on?" "It is." Thalia thought for a moment and said, "na,e with me ---- and record with your phone." "Okay." Thalia got out to check on the elderly man. He had gray hair, appeared to be in his seventies or eighties, and was very thin and frail-looking. The old man had his eyes closed and was moaning in pain. He looked genuinely unwell, not like someone deliberately staging an ident forpensation.
Thalia didn''t dare try to lift him, fearing she might cause further injury. She called an ambnce immediately. The ambnce arrived quickly and took the old man to the hospital. Thalia and na followed them to the hospital. The old man was rescued, and the doctor said he had suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Fortunately, he''d been brought to the hospital in time, saving his life. If they''d been anyter, he would have died. ---- Soon, the old man''s family arrived at the hospital.
There were three people-a couple who appeared to be in their fifties and a young man in his twenties. Leading them was the old man''s son. At first, the man was reasonably cordial. He said to Thalia, "Thank you for bringing my father to the hospital. Miss, could we talk somewhere else? It''s noisy here with so many people." Thalia wanted to see what this man was up to, so she nodded. "Alright." The man''s wife and son behind him didn''t say anything.
The three left the hospital building and went to an open area outside. Thalia discreetly scanned her surroundings. No security cameras. So she turned on her phone''s voice recorder. Once outside, the man finally revealed his true colors.
