Benjamin couldn't answer her. He had always sided with Sussan and Celia, and he had never really listened to what Grace had to say. Was that one of the reasons she had divorced him?Guilt flooded him when he thought about that. "Apologize," he ordered Celia with a stormy look. She lowered her head but refused to speak.Aaron came to Grace's side. He had a domineering expression on his face and was clearly seething."You think you can heal three years of humiliation and the slander you've spread after the divorce?"

What kind of people have you been serving?" he asked.Then he remembered his sister's embarrassment and composed himself. "It's your choice, but if you end up embarrassing the family, I'll hold you responsible."

On the other hand, the Hawkins family was in a gloomy state. Benjamin was sitting on the couch with a stormy look, and he hadn't said a word in ages.

Celia was probably going to jail. Benjamin's lawyer estimated her sentence would last at least three years.Susan had just woken up. When she heard that her daughter was going to jail for at least three years, she was shocked."Listen to me, Benjamin! Your sister cannot go to prison!" Susan said shakily, in disbelief.
