Beryl, ever the voice of reason, placed a comforting hand on Kendrick's shoulder. "We'll support you, but you need to take responsibility for this," he said gently, his tone firm but compassionate.
Kendrick nodded, his resolve hardening. He knew he had to fix this for Amelia and the company. The evening had taken an unexpected turn, but he was determined to make things right.
Nerissa, sensing Kendrick's confusion, stepped forward, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife. "Kendrick, you really have no idea, do you?" she said, her tone a mix of anger, frustration and pity. "Chun has been manipulating everything, keeping you in the dark. And now, Amelia is paying the price for it."
