This was also the first time Dylan had been abruptly cut off by Augus. He hadn’t even finished speaking.
Judith wasn't a fool. She knew what was going on just by listening to part of their conversation. Her eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful.
"Dylan, are you not going to help me?"
Dylan sighed and walked over, gently rubbing her head.
"I didn’t say that, but the mess Linda and her friends have stirred up has gotten the higher-ups in Greenfield all riled up. You know how unique Linda and her friends are, and you provided the venue, so our dad found out about it. You remember how Dennis got messed up with this stuff? Dad hates it more than anything, which is why he's so pissed."
Judith knew. Dennis had indeed become a mess because of that darn stuff.
Those rich, spoiled people in North America, the ones who claimed to be all about freedom, almost everyone got their hands dirty. But the Sanders family had learned their lesson the hard way, so Augus had warned everyone early on not to touch that stuff.
After Augus' brother Dennis started using, he had a one-night stand with a woman and accidentally got her pregnant.
The woman used the baby to threaten Dennis' wife, who couldn't handle the shock and committed suicide.
The Sanders family was in an uproar. Everyone rushed to Dennis's house. Dennis, who wasn't in his right mind, almost stabbed Arlene Abbott Sanders in the chaos.
Even though he was stopped just in time, Arlene still got stabbed and had to be rushed to the hospital.
When Dennis sobered up, he killed himself out of guilt, leaving behind a high school-aged kid who rarely visited the Sanders family after that. No one knew where he ended up.
Overnight, two lives were lost. Augus' hatred for the stuff was evident.
Now that Judith was involved in this stuff, it was only natural that he went ballistic.
Dylan sighed.
"Judith, even if you go back to North America next time, don't contact Linda for a while. Dad's really mad this time."
Judith lowered her eyes, her eyes welling up with tears. She felt like her father wasn't as fond of her as he used to be.
"What about my marriage to Ian?"
"I'm still working on it. He's been busy lately, but when he can't handle it anymore, he'll agree to marry you."
Judith's hand slowly clenched at her side. She was desperate to know who had set Linda up.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
