Clarify

"I am here today to clarify the matters regarding what heiress Aphrodite Winterfowl had been spouting. I didn't 'steal' Azriel from her, Mr. Evanders came to me and asked for my hand in dating in which I have agreed, we are still currently doing so. The arranged marriage between the two of them is something that was not legally possible, as our lawyer said so earlier, Mr. Maximile Evanders, biological father of Azriel, has been disowned and removed from Azriel's life through legal means.

"Meaning, he doesn't have any say on matters regarding Azriel's life. We can also consider the fact that Azriel was already of legal age when Mr. Maximile did this and legally had the right to refuse and that's what he did. The heiress managed to get to Azriel through Mr. Maximile, while Mr. Maximile claimed it was what the late Madam Rose – Azriel's mother – would have wanted for her son.
