"Philip Hale, what have you decided? You should know that almost all the money you've earned over the years has been paid out as compensation to the manufacturers suing you. Your case isn't closed yet, and you're barely hanging on with what little family savings you have left. If you sell your business to me, I can give you a fair price, giving you a chance to make a comeback. I can also arrange for the best lawyers—I'll even take care of your daughter and help her get into a university in Aethelgard!"
The terms Justin Hale laid out were exceptional and very tempting. He knew exactly how Philip Hale's mind worked. After being held at the police station for so many days, Philip Hale's greatest wish was undoubtedly to be acquitted and released.
Even if he were convicted, he would still want some assets left to make a comeback after his release. And after that, he hoped his only daughter would have a bright future.
