Julian was slightly surprised when he heard Tristin's parents asking to see him. He knew that Phil had been aiming at Tristin's parents recently, but he thought Tristin's parents would strongly support his son and fight against Phil and them to the end. After all, Tristin was their son.
However, he didn't expect Tristin's parents to ask to see him. He learned from the messenger that Tristin's parents wanted to reconcile with Phil. In order not to be targeted, they had severed ties with Tristin.
Thinking for a while, Julian agreed to see them.
In his office, Julian met Tristin's parents, who had haggard faces.
Marcel's eyes were bloodshot. He looked at Julian and said sincerely, "We have disowned our rebellious son and frozen all his bank cards. From now on, Tristin and we are strangers. So, we would like to ask you to help us to persuade Mr. Henderson."
"There are so many employees in our company who need to make a living. What should they do if the company goes bankrupt?"
"If it is aimed at us, we will do whatever we can. I know that 'Father is to blame for his son's faults. We are willing to pay the price for what our son has done, but the employees are innocent. Many of them are old employees who have worked with me for many years. How can I watch them lose their jobs..."
In the end, Marcel almost cried, "I didn't expect this rebellious son to be so paranoid. I thought the time and distance could make him give up after Miss Willigen and he studied in different countries. However--"
Marcel sighed and couldn't go on.
Julian said calmly, "Phil took action against your company to teach him a lesson and let him stop. I wonder if you have communicated with your son?"
Menna's tears fell down, "We contacted him. We did communicate with him. But he... he didn't think about us at all. Instead, he blamed us for not supporting him."
"If he did something right, we would fully support him and try every means to help him. But he did bad things and made us lose everything. How should we spend the rest of our lives?"
The attitude of Tristin's parents made Julian raise his eyebrows slightly. He felt that Tristin's parents' views on the world were quite correct, but he didn't understand why Tristin became paranoid.
"I will tell Phil about what you said today." Julian replied, "As for what Phil will do, I can't control it."
Marcel begged again, "Mr. Hughes, I know you have a good relationship with Mr. Henderson. Could you please persuade him to let us go?"
Julian sneered, "Do you know what your son told Phil?"
"He said that he deliberately provoked Anya and hoped Anya could have an accident that killed her baby."
While saying this, Julian's eyes fell on Menna, "Mrs. Murphy, you've been pregnant before. Anya is in the third trimester now. You should know that she might die once something serious happens to her!"
Menna's face suddenly turned pale, and her legs trembled.
She thought that Tristin played some tricks to provoke Phil, but she didn't expect him to do such a horrible thing. If something really happened to Anya and her child, he would be the killer!
Marcel was also shocked that his blood pressure rose again. He covered his chest for a long time, losing his breath.
Julian read their thoughts, so he said, "If he just used some tricks to trouble Phil, Phil wouldn't care about him, let alone aim at you. But Tristin is hurting Phil's beloved woman and child. If you were Phil, can you stand it?"
Menna cried loudly, "We can't do anything with him. We persuaded him and we have disowned him. But neither of them can stop him. We really don't know what to do."
"We have worked hard for most of our lives, and we don't want to live poorly for the rest of our lives. Mr. Hughes, please say some good words for us."
