Theodore Linton went on the offensive, holding them accountable before Jameson Valerius even had a chance to speak.
This was the first time in Jameson Valerius's life that he had been publicly rebuked. Although the man before him was not his equal in status or age, he couldn't say a word in his own defense. As things stood, the Valerius family was clearly in the wrong.
Seeing the grim look on Jameson Valerius's face, Liam Valerius quickly stepped forward to take the heat, putting on a show of filial piety. "VP Linton, please don't be angry. My father only just found out about this, and he's just as shocked. Of course, no matter how you look at it, the Valerius family was at fault from the start. As chairman of the group, my father came to Portcove to meet with you in person to show our commitment to this project. So please, I ask that you not be angry."
