“Bitch!”
James cursed under his breath, feeling both ashamed and furious. But he refused to confront Sasha directly out of pride. It would be like causing a scene in public.
Lance was fuming with confusion. After just one dinner event, his son ended up at the police station as a suspect! This was completely unacceptable!
Celeste felt uneasy. Sweat started to form on her forehead.
‘Rape… Who did Charles rape? Could it be…?’
She couldn’t shake off the worry about her daughter, who had been holed up in her room since coming back home. Amelia said she was not feeling well and refused to come out, no matter how much Celeste knocked.
As a mother, Celeste felt extremely anxious and tense, with her heart racing and her breathing turning labored.
“Chairman Iverson, we see how worried you are for your son.”
Mila held back Sasha, who was extremely furious, her gaze steady and resolute. “Even if Mr. Charles was taken to the police station by Asher, he must have done something wrong. Instead of demanding answers from us here, you might as well find a good lawyer for him.”
"Hey, Aunt Mila, you’re absolutely right!” Axel spoke sarcastically, raising his eyebrows. “I think you can consider hiring Hunter, the eldest young master from the Lovett family. That filthy, profit-driven scoundrel is best suited to handle a case like Mr. Charles’. But then again, currently he must be busy cleaning up after Madam Salvador’s mess. I wonder if he can make time for you.”
The Iverson family father and son were about to explode with rage.
The Thompson family members were sharp-tongued and united like an impenetrable fortress, leaving them no room to attack.
Christopher’s pale face was covered with a thin layer of sweat. If the situation continued to escalate, it might ruin his original plan. But at this moment, he couldn’t afford to step forward and speak for either side. He had to remain invisible, or it would be detrimental to him.
