Chapter 534 This Operation Left Everyone Stunned
Sable's face turned pale, and Xavier's voice grew impatient: "Get out!"
Sable struggled to steady herself and continued, "You killed someone and still act so arrogant. If this matter isn't resolved, we'll sue you directly. I don't believe you can cover the sky with one hand. Can a murderer really go unpunished?"
At this moment, the lawyer beside them stepped forward, "What are your demands?"
Hearing this, Sable thought there might be a chance.
Maybe Xavier found them troublesome and wanted to compromise to get rid of them.
At this point, getting a sum of money would be a pretty good compensation.
Sable immediately said, "One billion dollars."
The nearby police officers thought this woman must be crazy.
It was Sable's husband who tried to assault Grace, and now she wanted a billion dollars in compensation.
The lawyer calmly replied, "First of all, the cause of Daniel's death hasn't been determined, and you refused an autopsy. We have reason to suspect that Daniel had some underlying health issues that you concealed to extort money."
This lawyer looked very young but was already a top attorney. He handled many cases for the DG Group and had never lost a case.
People from the DG Group were never ordinary. Any lawyer from their company could ensure this case wouldn't be lost.
"That's nonsense! You're slandering us! My husband is so old, and you want to perform an autopsy? That wouldn't even leave him intact! And how are we extorting you?" Sable argued.
The lawyer continued, "Extortion of a certain amount can be prosecuted, and you just demanded one billion dollars, which is an enormous amount. You could be sentenced to decades in prison. We have surveillance footage and witnesses present. We will compile the evidence and file a lawsuit."
Sable couldn't believe that one sentence could be considered extortion.
No wonder she thought Xavier was being reasonable; he was setting a trap for her, watching her fall into it.
"You... I'm not extorting; I'm asking for compensation!"
The lawyer remained unflustered, "Secondly, Daniel's actions towards Ms. Lewis were premeditated. Based on current surveillance footage and previous hotel records, along with Daniel's purchase of large quantities of sedatives and testimonies from his associates, it can be proven that Daniel intended to harm Ms. Lewis."
"Attempted kidnapping, drugging multiple people, attempted rape—these were all done by Daniel. And the Gunter family has no evidence to prove they were unaware of these actions. We will formally file a lawsuit, and the legal notice will be sent soon. These charges are enough to put you in prison for life."
Sable and Toby were stunned. They were planning to sue Grace for murder, but now Xavier was suing them?
And if this matter wasn't clarified, the entire Gunter family would be doomed.
Sable quickly said, "What Daniel did has nothing to do with us. We had no idea about his actions."
The lawyer replied, "Whether you knew or not isn't up to you; it's up to the evidence. We are already cooperating with the police to gather evidence, and we believe results will come soon."
Sable was completely bewildered and realized she was in big trouble this time.
Even if they didn't know Daniel was targeting Grace, any so-called evidence, whether real or fabricated, would be considered evidence.
For Xavier, creating evidence was too easy.
Sable's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground, "We were wrong, we were really wrong. It was all Taylor's idea. She told us to insist that Daniel's death was caused by Grace and to extort money from you. Otherwise, Grace would go to jail."
Sable tried to crawl to Xavier's feet, terrified, "It was all Taylor. Only Taylor knew about this. We really didn't know."
Xavier kicked her away, "Get out!"
Just looking at them made him feel dirty.
Xavier's demeanor was icy, and his gaze was murderous.
"Bring Taylor here."
He was like a judge, deciding these people's fates.
The Gunter family's issues weren't simple, and it wasn't just about these charges.
Over the years, Daniel had played with many women, and not all of them were willing. Xavier had already found a lot of evidence and many women ready to sue the Gunter family.
Sable couldn't have been unaware of this; she was even an accomplice.
She knew she couldn't control Daniel and was aware of his disgusting habits and love for beautiful women. But as long as Daniel was happy, she would help him do whatever he wanted.
If Daniel got tired of them, Sable would help get rid of these women.
For the Gunter family, it was just a matter of spending some money. If they couldn't handle it, it was just a matter of how much money.
Even their son Toby had played with many women behind the scenes.
Xavier had already gathered a lot of evidence. If Daniel hadn't died so suddenly, his good days would have been numbered.
And Xavier didn't plan to let the Gunter family off the hook. They should pay for what they did.
The Gunter Group might completely disappear in the next few days.
The Gunter family members were kicked out by Xavier, and soon, Taylor was brought in.
When Taylor arrived, she saw Sable and Toby looking like lost souls. Sable, who was usually so formidable, couldn't last two minutes in front of Xavier. So why did Xavier call her over...
Taylor was terrified, especially since she was the one who actually killed Daniel.
Grace's stab, although it hit Daniel, might have been slightly off.
At that moment, Taylor went over and pushed the knife deeper into Daniel's stomach, so he died before he could be taken to the hospital.
Grace didn't remember how deep she had stabbed, and there was only that one wound, so naturally, it was assumed that Grace had killed him.
"I don't know anything, I don't know anything." Taylor's hair was a mess, and she looked terrified.
This matter had blown up, and she never expected it to get so big.
She still remembered Daniel's incredulous look when he died.
Daniel probably never expected Taylor to make a move, let alone take his life.
