Jayden didn't explain much, just said, "Everything Stella said is true. I provoked James with Ryan."
Seeing him like this, Eva stayed silent for a long time before speaking up, "James coming to find you wasn't about getting involved in our business. It was because his brother was wrongly accused and ended up in the emergency room. He made it clear from the beginning. He even let you come up with a solution on your own. He did all this just to get you to apologize to Paul. But instead, you used Ryan as a weapon to retaliate against James."
Jayden lowered his gaze and asked, "Paul was the one who started bothering you first. He should be the one apologizing, not me. Why should I apologize to James?"
Eva looked up at him and said, "Yes, you're right. Paul was in the wrong initially, but you could have stood your ground. When James asked for a solution, you could have used that opportunity to demand an apology from Paul first. I believe James is not unreasonable. Even if he is, he would agree for my sake. But you chose to provoke James with Ryan. Do you think that's going to convince James to stop seeking justice for his wrongly accused brother? And you still want to stand on a moral high ground and condemn the three of them for their past actions!"
Jayden opened his mouth but couldn't find words to refute. He really did want to condemn James from a moral high ground.
