Peace and trouble ahead

 Suzy's mother gulped and buried her gaze on the ground as she attempted to speak to Aidan.

However, Ruby could see Aidan shivering, and she decided to take hold of his hand and buried it in her palms as she cared for it to calm him down.

Aidan raised his head and looked at Ruby, and she smiled at him indicating 'it's okay' and he nodded before averting his gaze to the woman before him.

"Mr. Aidan," she called out." I must apologize for the pain my daughter has caused you and your family. I'm pleading on her behalf to have mercy on her because she was blinded by money," she begged shamefully.

It was a shameful thing that their daughter did this to her poor parents rather than making them proud.
