Chapter 137
“Okay.

Alter Lyra left, Philip pinned James to the ground and ordered, “Kneel! Apologize to Maeve!”
James struggled for a few moments, but eventually, he was pinned down.
He looked up resentfully at Maeve and forced out, “I’m sorry!”
Maeve hadn’t expected Philip to find out so quickly. Even if James was as dumb as a rock, he should’ve destroyed the evidence.
“Mavy,
this is James’s fault. I’ll take him to the police station right now and let the police handle it!”
Upon hearing this, James instantly became furious.
“Dad, how could you surrender me to the police?”
“You have the nerve to speak when you put yourself in this situation! Surrendering you to the police is letting you off easy!”
If Zion were to handle this privately, James would have lost his life.
“Uncle Phil, there’s no need to take him to the police station,” Maeve suggested. “James is being difficult because Aunt Sharon spoils him too much.”
Philip nodded repeatedly, “It’s all his mother’s fault! He’s completely out of control now!”
“Yesterday James came to me to discuss the Scott family’s inheritance with me. I merely nagged him a little and he tried to kill me. He really needs to be taught some respect.
“What inheritance?”
Philip looked puzzled, completely unaware of what was going on.
James’s face flushed red, and he exclaimed, “Macve, shut up!”
“You shut up!” Philip suddenly came to his senses and kicked James. “You little brat, I’m not dead yet, and you’re already eyeing the Inheritance?”
“Dad, that’s not true!”
James’s cowered slightly, but he still refused to admit it
Maeve said indifferently, “Uncle Phil, it’s not entirely James’s fault. Someone must have planted the idea in his head, otherwise he wouldn’t
know what to say.”
Philip knew Maeve was talking about Sharon. He always doted on Sharon, so he turned a blind eye to whatever she did. But now, woman was scheming against him. He was furious.
his beloved
Initially, he threatened to take James to the police station out of anger. But now he made up his mind and grabbed James, saying, “You’re going to the police station to turn yourself in now. If you don’t, you won’t learn your lesson!”
“Dad, are you serious? I’m your son! Can you bear to see your son go to jail?”
“I don’t have a wretched son like you! When you come out of prison, I won’t give you a single penny!”
Philip picked up his phone and said, “If you don’t turn yourself in now, I’ll personally take you to the police station!”
James was scared by his words. After giving Maeve a resentful look, he got up and left.
He thought turning himself in wasn’t a big deal. Maeve was alright, after all. Even if he went to prison, he would be released early. After James left, Philip had someone follow him.
Seeing Philip dizzy with anger, Marve said, “Uncle Phil, don’t be angry. Perhaps a few days of prison will help James straighten up?” Philip nodded and said, “I’m sorry for bothering you. It’s all my fault for raising such a bastard who almost killed you.” Maeve shook her head. After a while,
e, she added, “Uncle Phil, how did you know James did this?”
“Zion came by. This brat erased the garage’s surveillance footage. Zion came with evidence and asked me to punish him.” “Zion?”
Marye was shamed. He merely found out about her situation an hour ago. How did he manage to get the evidence so quickly?
