Like And Dislike

*Some Minutes Earlier*

Whilst the parents stayed back and argued, Thane interrogated the two involved in the scandal privately.

Having them sit next to each other, Thane settled his gaze on Mallory, and then asked her first. "What happened?"

After a careful five minute explanation, Thane got the full gist of the situation. He was just about to say something, when Matthew piped up, "Those people don't give a damn about Mallory, see how interested they were in pushing their agenda. They're all selfish." He stated.

Thane raised a brow, wondering why his brother was bringing that up, as though he were some saint.

Mallory shared the same sentiment, "I don't need you to worry about my situation, I'm well aware of the sort of family I have." She said, her voice quieted.
