The old Mr. Keating asked Asher Keating what was going on. Instead of explaining, Asher simply showed him the surveillance footage.
After watching it, the old Mr. Keating only said one thing: "This younger member of the Sterling family... she's a far cry from Morgan Sterling."
After that, he didn't bring the matter up again. He knew his grandson's character well. Since Asher had already made it clear he would not marry Madeline Sterling, he wouldn't do something like that.
Calling him back to ask was merely a formality. The incident had caused quite a stir, after all. The main branch of the family, especially Aaron Keating, had been making snide remarks for two days straight.
After dinner, Asher's parents called him into their room. His mother, Ruth Hughes, asked, "Asher, are you really not going to offer an explanation?"
Asher patted his mother's hand reassuringly. "Mom, there's no rush."
