Holden's face went pale. "Saskia just made a mistake. Please, give her another chance."
Saskia was his only sister; how could he stand by and watch her get kicked out of the Lynette family?
"Why are you begging him, brother?"
Saskia, too proud to apologize to Yuri, retorted, "If I have to leave the Lynette family, so be it. I don't want to stay here. Just spend your life with Brittany!"
With those harsh words, Saskia stormed off.
Gabriel was shocked by her boldness, apologized to Yuri on her behalf, and chased after her.
Holden stood rooted to the spot.
Once Yuri had calmed down, he turned to Brittany, "Don't worry, I'll make sure this gets sorted for you."
"Okay."
The evidence was irrefutable.
Saskia was suspected of framing someone, and by dawn the next day, the police took her away for questioning.
When the news broke, the Brandt family was furious.
Gabriel couldn't believe Saskia had been so reckless. Knowing Yuri's favoritism towards Brittany, she still dared to harm her!
"Gabriel, you must make amends with the Lynette family properly," Mrs. Brandt said sternly. "Even if I don't like her, she's still part of the Brandt family. Once this is settled, as long as she keeps her head down, we can support her."
After all, it was about supporting a family member, and taking care of Saskia wasn't too much to ask.
"I understand."
...
Brittany's name was cleared.
"Dad, did you find those pieces of evidence?"
"Some of them, yes. But most of it came from an anonymous email," Yuri admitted. "Bri, I'm sorry I let you down."
An anonymous email?
Brittany couldn't think of anyone who would help her... unless it was Isaac.
"Dad, can I see the original email?"
