The next day, Tim Payne visited the Hale Family, as his mother had entrusted him with something to give to his sister.
Peter Lewis had good relations with the Hale Family, so he specifically pulled William Hale aside, hoping that the introduction through him would have a higher chance of success than if he approached by himself.
"Who needs medical treatment?" William Hale asked directly.
"Miss Jones' grandmother."
"Are you close?" Mr. Hale, always perceptive, eyed his cousin with a probing look.
"Just acquaintances."
Just acquaintances?
Was there a need to ask personally?
Was his cousin deceiving him, or was he deceiving himself?
He had already learned about last night's incident from his lawyer and, honestly, he admired Cressida Jones, a young girl who had endured and kept a low profile for years, dealt with a family of scoundrels, and finally got what she wanted.
"What's the matter? Not convenient?" Tim Payne raised an eyebrow.
"I'll ask for you and get back to you."
