Chapter 790


    Initially, James was standing at the door, but upon hearing what Jonah had said, he immediately stepped


    forward. “What do you mean by us forking out the money? Why are you so shameless? It was your son


    who damaged our car, so how can you demand that we pay for thepensation? No way!” he growled.


    Jonah shot a re. “Despite knowing that he didn’t have a driver’s license, you lent the car to my son. so


    you should be held responsible instead. Am I right, Mr. Manning?”


    An embarrassed Craig scratched his head before he gazed helplessly at Matthew, who uttered, “Mr.


    Manning, if you have anything to say, just immediately tell us.”


    After giving it a thought, Craig continued in a hushed voice, “If you still lent him the car despite knowing


    that he didn’t have a license, you’re partly responsible and should pay a part of thepensation in


    ordance with thew.”


    In an instant, Jonah smugly smiled. “Did you hear that? Mr. Manning agrees with me, so what else can


    you say? James, I’m telling you that if it weren’t because my son’s fine, I would’ve made you


    compensate for his injury as well!”


    James was exasperated and flustered. “What does it have to do with us that he was driving without a


    license? Why should we fully pay for thepensation? Aren’t they responsible for this?”


    Craig answered, “Of course they’re responsible. I’m just saying that you’re partly responsible.”


    “Did you hear that?” James immediately uttered. “We’re only partly responsible. Jonah, you wanna extort


    money from us? Dream on!”


    A stunned Jonah growled, “What do you mean that they’re only partly responsible? They lent the car to


    my son even though they knew that he didn’t have a driver’s license. They should be fully responsible!


    How did you even be an attorney? Are you really a professionalwyer?”


    Craig frowned. “I am just telling it as it is in ordance with thew.”


    Jonah yelled, “In ordance with thew? I think you’re just a half-bakedwyer! Without the need to


    think about it, I can tell that they should be fully responsible!”


    As he was displeased with Jonah, Craig’s expression turned cold. Then, he turned to look at James and


    asked, “By the way, Mr. Cunningham, are you sure you really lent the car to his son at that time?”


    Jame scratched his head. “Huh? What do you mean?”


    Craig replied, “I need to know what exactly happened at that time so that I can make a judgment.”


    “I didn’t agree to it when his son wanted to borrow the car from us because I knew that he didn’t have a


    driver’s license,” James responded. “However, he told us that it was his girlfriend who would drive since


    she has a driver’s license. At that time, I thought that since she would be the one driving, there shouldn’t


    be any problem, which was why I lent them the car.”


    Craig’s gaze brightened. “You mean, you actually lent the car to his girlfriend, who had a driver’s license,


    right?”


    James nodded. “That’s right. I’m not a fool, so why would I lend a car to someone without a driver’s


    license?”


    “Bullsh*t!” Jonah immediately refuted. “You didn’t know his girlfriend, so why would you lend the car to


    her? James, why are you so shameless?”


    Just when James wanted to speak, Craig uttered gently, “ording to thew, there’s nothing wrong


    with lending stuff to strangers.”


    With a smug smile, James taunted, “Did you hear that? That was a professional reply!”


    Jonah said through gritted teeth, “It was my son who drove the car in the end, so they had actually lent


    the car to my son.”

    “It doesn’t matter who drove the car in the end,” Craig slowly replied. “The most important thing is who


    drove the car away from you. Mr. Cunningham, do you remember what happened?”


    James hurriedly answered, “It was his girlfriend who drove the car away. I saw it with my eyes. It was his


    girlfriend!”
