Chapter 1000

Before the other three parents could speak, Bethany spoke up first. "Mr. Hamilton." She addressed Derek, no longer using his first name. "We can sort out the right and wrong later, but the fact is, Asher injured Aidan and Joshua. I agree they should get checked out right away. If something happens to the kids due to the delay, I won't take responsibility." "Mr. Hamilton, please stop blocking this," Waylon advised, his patience clearly running out. Derek knew that if he kept intervening, it would only make things worse. He straightened up, saying, "Of course, they should go for a check-up. But before that, I'd like Ms. Reyes to apologize on Asher's behalf to the parents here." From the start, Derek had noticed Bethany's refusal to admit Asher was wrong. He hoped this would buy him some time to figure out another solution. After all, Robert definitely didn't want them going to the hospital. Sure enough, when the parents heard this, they immediately demanded an apology from Bethany.
