Cordelia's tone turned icy. "Mr. Newhouse, you rushed here to see us today. Aren't you going to explain things?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Your son lost his life in this conspiracy. Haven't you thought about seeking justice for your son?"
Wilfred wiped his sweat, taking a deep breath. After some time, he sighed. "It's a family scandal... Mrs. Hamerton, please don't push this further. Regarding Harvey's funeral, I'll handle it out of respect for my wife. But right now, I need to resolve my daughter's matter."
Wilfred almost kneeled before them. "Please consider a compromise. Don't let Jojo go to jail! This is a family scandal, but still a family affair. I promise to handle it well and give the Hamertons an explanation!"
"A family affair?!" Zephyr slammed the table, standing up and glaring at him. "This is your family's issue, not mine! Your daughter dared to harm my son. I won't let her off!"
"Mr. Hamerton, my son saved your son. Can't you consider this as compensation?"
"Wilfred, are you kidding?!" The meeting room door swung open, and a formidable woman entered. "Is Harvey a Newhouse? Hmph! Those are two different things. Don't confuse these matters!"
Everyone was surprised, turning their attention to Whitney entering the room.
Whitney nodded in acknowledgment. "Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, I didn't intend to come, but I'm concerned. There's something crucial I must announce in front of you."
She looked at Maisie with an affectionate gaze and offered her a smile. Then she turned to face Wilfred.
"Newhouse, even at this point, you persist in pleading for that little wretch, Jodie?"
