Charles Prescott listened to her and said, "Of course not!"
'If it weren't for her, if he didn't want to keep her by his side, why would he care if the Sutton Family lived or died?'
He knew Anne Sutton was just saying these things out of anger.
But right now, he was more afraid that Anne Sutton would further offend his father.
Today's outcome was already the best possible result under the circumstances. His father hadn't acted ruthlessly yet!
He looked at Anne Sutton, not wanting to argue with her about this. He just said, "No matter what, my dad has been your elder for so many years. You shouldn't act like this in front of him. Even with Nathan Fawcett backing you, do you think he can be with you twenty-four hours a day? Besides, he'll be leaving in less than two months. Are you sure you'll really be able to handle my dad then?"
Charles Prescott's words made Anne Sutton fall silent.
