Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Turning Point (Additional updates for over a thousand recommendation votes)

“Mediation.”

Jade Carlson confidently said, “If the other party doesn’t accept monetary compensation, their goal should be something else. I heard from Nathaniel that the female student has a crush on Mr. Jameson. We can use this to our advantage—let Mr. Jameson admit that she is his girlfriend, even promising that she will be the future fiancee of the Jameson Family. Our famous family is well-respected and highly sought after. The female student herself admires Mr. Jameson, so she has no reason to decline. After the dust settles and the public loses interest in the matter, we can find a reason to break up and resolve the issue.”

Mrs. Jameson’s face showed reluctance, “In that case… wouldn’t it mean that Henry has to admit that he is dating his own student? As a teacher, doing such a thing will always be criticized.”

Jade Carlson smiled, “Mrs. Jameson, dating one’s student and sexually assaulting a female student are two different things. Naturally, it’s better to choose the lesser of two evils. Besides, we live in an open society, and teacher-student relationships are not unheard of.”

Mrs. Jameson still couldn’t accept it, looking worried, “If it were a university, it wouldn’t be so bad, but Henry teaches at a high school.”

Mr. Jameson raised his hand to rest on Mrs. Jameson’s shoulder, signaling her not to say any more.

Mrs. Jameson pursed her lips, not speaking any more. She frowned slightly, looking unhappy. Her son was clearly wronged, and they had hoped to see a prosecutor, but now they were asked to accept the female student who framed their son as their future daughter-in-law. For such a literati-proud family like the Jamesons, it was unbearable.

Mr. Jameson asked Jade Carlson solemnly, “Ms. Carlson, is there no other solution besides this one?”

Jade Carlson shook her head gently, her tone certain, “The evidence in the hands of the other party is too fatal. If we lose the lawsuit in court, the court will arrest Mr. Jameson on the spot and the Jameson Family’s reputation will be ruined. That’s why no law firm dares to take the case.”

There was a moment of silence in the living room.

Clearly, the solution brought by Jade Carlson was not what the Jameson Family had hoped for.

Jade Carlson glanced at everyone’s expressions, knowing that the Jameson Family wasn’t too satisfied.

This was within Jade Carlson’s expectations.

She knew that the plan she proposed wasn’t perfect, but she believed she had done her best.

She was invited by the Jameson Family, and she needed to hold herself with pride to be respected by others.

Jade Carlson said indifferently, “If we must go to court to determine the outcome, I won’t insist. In the end, Clearwater City will simply have one more scandalous piece of news. Mr. Jameson should be well aware that with such damning evidence in the hands of the other party, even if they find a lawyer who can argue their case brilliantly, they still won’t be able to clear their name. According to current laws and regulations, the minimum sentence would be over five years.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jameson was shocked and couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

“Let’s talk to her…” Mrs. Jameson’s face turned pale, and she closed her eyes and held her forehead, “Say… that our Jameson Family is willing to marry her and won’t let her lose her reputation.”

As a mother, she was willing to make any compromise rather than watch her son go to prison.

“Why can’t my brother clear his name for something he didn’t do?!”

A female voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone in the living room looked towards the sound, seeing Zara Jameson standing at the doorway.

“Zara…” Henry was startled.

“Zara, don’t cause trouble.” Mr. Jameson’s tone was stern, “This is Ms. Carlson, a prosecutor specially invited by our family.”

Zara bit her lip, her face full of anger and unwillingness, “Dad, Mom, are we just giving up like this?! Letting me call that kind of woman my sister-in-law? Letting my brother marry that kind of woman, and live with her for the rest of his life?!”

The Jameson Family was strict and disciplined, with no instances of broken engagement or divorce.

So it wasn’t as simple as Jade Carlson said: settle the social status and then casually break up.

Jade Carlson said softly, “Miss Jameson, I understand your feelings, but we are forced by the current situation…”

“There is a law firm willing to take our case!” Zara Jameson ignored Jade Carlson and stared unwaveringly at her parents, “They said they are 90% sure of winning the case!”
