“What are you going on about?! I never hit my daughter! I never did! Shouldn’t you be held accountable. when my daughter died in your company?! Instead, you bring in a lawyer to bully us! You people are unbelievable!”

After all, the case would take a long time to resolve if it was presented to the court, and it would be ages before they receive any compensation.

Amanda crossed her arms and squinted her eyes slightly as she watched the Knox couple and their lawyer whisper to each other. They had been discussing for almost half an hour, and she didn’t know what they were saying.
