Although Michael Linton couldn’t be seen on the other end of the phone, Fabian Hols could feel that Michael was angry now because of what he had just said.
This was the last situation he wanted to see, as it was not conducive to resolving the predicant he was currently facing.
"I didn’t an anything else; I just wanted to tell you that Theodore posted that because he learned about the situation." He suppressed his resentnt, trying to maintain a calm deanor.
"What does the past incident have to do with Easton? Or with Lily? What right does he have to spout nonsense online? Just because he’s your son?" Michael was very dissatisfied with Fabian’s attitude of shirking responsibility, and a surge of anger arose within him as he angrily questioned the person on the other end of the phone.
Although he felt no family bond with that boy, he also held no prejudice against him. The past incident was a grudge among adults, and the two children were innocent.
Even now, Michael held no prejudice against Theodore Hols. At this mont, his anger was still directed at Fabian, and his words were not directed at Theodore, but directly at Fabian.
Fabian sensed Michael’s fury, but he didn’t feel it was directly aid at him. He foolishly defended Theodore, saying, "Theodore is young and impulsive, he posted that in a mont of impulsivity, please don’t be angry."
Young! Impulsive! That was his explanation for Theodore’s actions.
"Your son may be young, but you are not. Can you tell your son what he can and cannot do?" Michael really wanted to rush over to Fabian now, open his skull, and see what was inside Fabian’s head.
Seeing her husband speaking so aggressively, Serena Zimrman poked her husband’s arm, silently signaling him to be more polite.
The person on the other end of the phone was his own brother-in-law, and she felt it was improper to speak so rudely. She didn’t want the phone call to damage the harmony between them.
Feeling his arm being poked, Michael instinctively turned to look at Serena sitting beside him. All the ssages Serena wanted to convey were written on her face, and it was hard not to understand them.
Being questioned by his brother-in-law like this repeatedly made Fabian very uncomfortable. No matter how bad he was, he was still his brother-in-law, but Michael always faced him with a superior attitude.
He was like a righteous judge, while Fabian was the unforgivable criminal being judged.
Thinking of all the years of criticism and bla from Michael, Fabian felt very frustrated and angry, wishing to shout over the phone: Who do you think you are? Speaking to like this.
But thinking about the consequences of doing so, he suddenly beca cowardly.
"I understand, I will definitely educate Theodore well from now on." Although he spoke these words reluctantly, he still said them, pausing before continuing, "Can you now help persuade Easton? Tell him not to take Theodore to the police station. If he ends up at the police station, Theodore’s life will be ruined."
Once a person has a criminal record, they will carry it for life, and that’s not a glorious thing.
If it was for so other reason, it might be understandable, but he felt it wasn’t worth it for a minor conflict between brothers.
