Chapter 572

Chapter 572:
“Did the family accept the settlement compensation so soon?” she asked with a hint of doubt. It all seemed too fast for her.
“Yes, they did. The truck driver was driving under the influence, and his license has been revoked. He may face charges, and the truck company wanted to avoid any negative impact on their reputation. So, they offered a relatively high compensation for reconciliation to the family, who accepted it. This way, they can pay for the medical treatment and tuition,” he continued to explain.
Candice thought for a moment before asking, “How much compensation did the family receive for the settlement?”
“Three million.”
Candice’s eyes widened in surprise. “Three million?” That was quite generous of the company. Normally, this kind of compensation would take a long time. One million and five hundred…
A thousand would already be considered good compensation, but the trucking company paid double that amount immediately. No wonder the family members agreed right away.
However, it struck her as odd. Three million was not a small sum. Who would be willing to give away that much money so easily?
Milton, on the other hand, didn’t seem to share her skepticism. His view of money was different.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that the trucking company was in a rush to cover something up. It all seemed very peculiar.
“I’ve ruled out Corless as the mastermind and the possibility that the driver wanted to hit you. So the car accident could really just be a coincidence. You just happened to witness it,” Milton said, raising his eyebrows. “I might be overthinking it.”
“Maybe,” Candice replied. Without a more convincing explanation, she had to accept it as an accident.
“If you’re feeling bad, I can offer assistance to the family of the deceased. I can make sure they live comfortably for the rest of their days,” Milton offered.

For him, helping a family financially was effortless.
Candice shook her head.
“No, everyone has their own struggles. They’ve already received a substantial amount of compensation. They chose to forgo pursuing legal action against the driver.”
Despite what she said, Candice still wanted to take time to look into the incident. Once she finished dealing with Corless’ case and sent him to prison, she planned to visit the deceased’s husband and daughter when she had the chance.
With that, she turned around and walked away.
“Where are you going?” Milton stopped Candice as he noticed her heading towards the cloakroom, intending to change her clothes and go out.
Candice replied, “I’m going to the law firm. There’s still work to be done.”
Milton furrowed his brow. “You need to rest. You haven’t fully recovered. Nothing else is more important.”
Brushing him off, Candice said, “I’m not that fragile.” She continued walking forward without hesitation.
