“This is all I have to say. Give it some thought.” Larry stood up and left.
“Wait!” A middle-aged woman suddenly shouted.
“You'll let us go if we clarify the truth? she asked.
She was very much aware that she couldnt afford to offend Larry. They can worry about Abelyn after all this is over.
“That's right. I just want the truth. Perhaps you can get my help if you run into any trouble in the future.” Larry said.
“No need. As long as you don't come for us! The middle-aged woman piped up.
What a clever woman! Larry looked at the middle-aged woman with admiration.
The few of them gathered around for a discussion and finally came to an agreement.
“We can post a video clip clarifying the truth,” the woman continued.
Great! This is the best outcome. Larry smiled and nodded in approval.
He left them alone after hearing the woman's promise.
“Mom, what are you doing? How are we going to explain ourselves to Ms. Chipman?” A young woman tugged the middle-aged woman's hand
“Don't worry. Our lives are more important,” she comforted.
At the moment, Joan was wrecking her head on how she could get her business out of the sticky situation.
“Ms. Watts, you should go home and get some rest.” Faye walked over.
“No need. I'll just lie on the table for a short nap,” Joan replied.
“Come check it out, guys. They're clarifying the truth.”
“Really? Why are they suddenly being so thoughtful?”
“It's true. Look. This is the video clip.”
All of a sudden, the office's corridor buzzed as everyone smiled joyfully. Joan's curiosity was piqued as she looked in from the outside.
