Backed by the Monroe family and the Jacobs family of Northgate, Joyce Monroe was utterly unafraid and impervious to their pleas. This made Mr. and Mrs. Sutton's expressions grow increasingly grim.
"Joyce Monroe, you should always leave a way out for others. Why push things to the absolute limit? We're all people of status in Graymoor. You can't guarantee you won't need our help someday." Timothy Sutton's words were a clear threat.
"You actually have a point there."
Seeing her finally relent, Timothy Sutton quickly added, "As long as you're willing to have Julian Griffin issue a letter of forgiveness, I'm prepared to offer you an eight-figure sum in compensation."
"That's a lot of money."
"You can name other conditions, too. Anything within our power," Mrs. Sutton said.
Joyce Monroe smiled. "I finally understand why Ina Sutton was raised to be so useless. It's because she has a pair of shameless parents like you cleaning up all her messes."
