Sam said, "Secretary Lawrence, bye." Katherine didn't say anything else but hung up.
Sam didn't waste time on polite commonplaces with Katherine. After Katherine hung up, he called Willie immediately.
Willie was Sam's college classmate. They had a good relationship, so Sam appointed Willie as Newper Corporation's vice-president.

Sam came straight to the point, "Willie, did Griffin go out tonight? Ms. Reed's secretary, Katherine, called me and said that Griffin had rear-ended Ms. Reed on her way home.
Griffin told them that he was Newper Corporation’s vice-president's son." Hearing that, Willie was shocked and asked, "Sam, what do you mean? | don't understand." Sam said, "Ms. Reed's secretary called me personally. Griffin is young.
Understandably, he is impulsive sometimes, but he shouldn't have offended Ms. Reed!" Willie didn't believe what Sam had said. After all, Griffin was Willie's son, and he thought he knew his son well.
Willie said," Although Griffin is mischievous, it may be a misunderstanding. Please wait a minute. | will call Griffin to learn about that. Maybe Griffin's friends or classmates passed himself as Griffin!" Sam was anxious. As long as it was related to Willie, it would be related to Sam. Sam was reluctant to offend Scarlett. Sam said," Call Griffin and ask him what has happened!" Willie hung up and thought about it. Then his wife ran in hastily and said, "Willie, Griffin has been arrested by the police station!" Willie panicked and asked, "What has happened?" His wife said in confusion, "I don't know what has happened. | received a phone call just now. The person said that Griffin was sent to the police station because of drunk driving and asked us to go to the police station." Willie thought of what Sam had said, and his face clouded over. He said, "I will go to the police station!" Seeing that, his wife pulled his hand and said, "I will go with you!" Willie said, "You... Alright... Hurry up!" In the police station.
Griffin was arrested for drunk driving.
Besides, he didn't keep a safe distance and was distracted by his phone, so he rear-ended Scarlett.
The traffic policemen said that Griffin should be responsible for the accident.

Scarlett's car was a Bentley that was worth 1,000,000 dollars. The rear lights were destroyed. Except for the insurance, Griffin would pay for the rest maintenance costs.
Griffin was unconvinced, but the traffic policemen contradicted him.
After they signed to reconcile, Willie and his wife arrived.
Seeing Willie, Griffin felt happy and said," Dad..." But Willie only saw Scarlett and Raymond at a glance. Thinking of what Sam had said on the phone, Willie became furious and slapped Griffin. Willie scolded Griffin, "Are you out of your mind?" Griffin said, "Dad? What's wrong with you?" Willie's wife was surprised, pulled Willie and said, "Willie, are you out of your mind? He is your son!" Willie said, "I don’t have a son like him!" Willie turned to look at Scarlett and Raymond. Willie said, "Ms. Reed, Mr. Shaw, I'm sorry. | haven't taught my son well. I'm sorry for the inconvenience tonight." Scarlett smiled but kept silent.
Raymond glanced at Willie coldly and said, "Mr. Ramsey, you haven't taught your son well indeed." Then Raymond left the police station with Scarlett, hand in hand.
