Chapter 820: The Hoffman Family Still Wants to Negotiate Privately

"Yes, Mr. Zachmann, I've watched Phoebe Hoffman grow up since she was a child. She's not the kind of person with a vicious heart. There must be some misunderstanding in this matter. She was only playing around with Ms. Quinlan, just trying to scare her a bit; she would never really intend to harm her," Lincoln Hoffman immediately found an excuse and said a mouthful in a humble tone.

"Grandfather..." Caryn Zachmann wanted to say something more, her eyebrows and eyes just beginning to move, when Mr. Zachmann swept a chilling glance toward her, and her voice trailed off, daring not to continue.

She bit her lip, feeling quite indignant.

"Mr. Zachmann, I know this time it's our fault, even though Phoebe was just joking with Ms. Quinlan, she shouldn't have made such a joke."

Caryn Zachmann dared not continue to speak for Phoebe Hoffman, but Lincoln Hoffman had no choice but to continue speaking against his will, raising his eyes with a look that was both urgent and embarrassed.
