The words were few but etched into his bones.
He did not need to elaborate further.
The siblings had reconciled at this point.
In Bella’s heart, Asher was as important as Justin, and she could not bear to throw a tantrum with him. She was merely retaliating against her family’s pressure.
“Ash, how did that bastard Charles get bailed out? Why didn’t Wyatt stop it?!” Bella was burning with anxiety.
“I called mainly for this.”
Asher took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Considering Amelia’s reputation and our family’s image, Aunt Celeste decided to withdraw the lawsuit after discussing it with Dad.”
“Withdraw the lawsuit?!” Bella and Justin’s eyes widened with shock!
“How else would Charles get bailed out of the police station?”
Asher could not conceal the frustration in his tone. “Not only that, the Iverson Group had bribed the major media in Savrow, preparing scripts to clear Charles’ name, portraying him as a pitiful victim.
“Even if we fight back, the lawsuit has been withdrawn, and we could do nothing to him.”
“Is Wyatt out of his mind?! For his image, he’s disregarding his daughter’s dignity?! Does the Thompson family need an image to survive?”
Bella was fuming, her shoulders trembling. “Aunt Celeste is gentle and weak. This must be Wyatt’s idea! She can’t defy it!”
“Bella, you’re wrong this time.”
