Ashton Heath looked at Jeremy Lawrence with narrowed eyes. His gaze became somewhat profound.
"Jeremy, first answer me a question."
"Speak, Ashton."
"If Regina Kelloway hadn't asked you for help, would you still think the other members of the Kelloway family are innocent?"
The color drained from Jeremy's face.
"Jeremy, it's not that I don't want to give the Kelloway family a chance. I've stated my conditions and if they can fulfill them, I will help. But if they can't, what happens to the Kelloway family is none of my business."
"I know that Regina Kelloway is your classmate and that you would feel bad refusing her request for help. If she asks about it again, just relay what I said to her."
Jeremy stayed silent for a moment, moistening his lips before nodding. "I understand."
