Hearing that, the woman instantly burst into tears. “My lord, please have mercy! It was this young lady who was recklessly riding her horse and crashed into my son! My lord…”

“The truth will be clear after a thorough investigation at the High Court,” Davon said lightly, not even sparing the mother and son a glance.
