Chapter 368: This Circle Is Truly a Mess
Thea Shaw finished her talk with Old Master Rhodes.
When she came out, Franklin Rhodes was still waiting at the door.
He stared at Thea, his eyes somewhat unfriendly: "Is the Sutton Family going after the Abbott Family?"
"What do you mean the Sutton Family is going after the Abbott Family?"
Thea seemed not to understand, her face breaking into a smile: "Young Master Rhodes, if you say it like that, people who don’t know might think that the Abbott Family did something wrong. Why would our Sutton Family go after the Abbott Family for no reason? There’s more than one family with the surname Abbott in this world, which one are you referring to?"
Franklin was choked silent.
He happened to know Shirley Abbott.
Previously, at a banquet abroad, he was amazed by Shirley Abbott’s dance.
Not to the point of treasuring her, but she was considered a friend.
Now that the Sutton Family’s issues had been exposed, Franklin, who didn’t know before, now realized that the Sutton Family was indeed targeting Shirley Abbott’s father.
But if the Sutton Family really went after the Abbott Family, what would Shirley Abbott do?
Would he just watch his friend be bullied?
Franklin couldn’t say anything else, given that nothing had happened yet. Saying this made it seem like the Abbott Family had done something unforgivable.
Even though everyone was speculating that the child from the Sutton Family who was taken away years ago might have been taken by the Abbott Family.
Before the truth comes out, naturally, reckless speculation wouldn’t be appropriate.
Franklin pressed his lips together and only said: "Shirley Abbott is innocent, she couldn’t control what her parents did back then."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Thea found it baffling: "This has nothing to do with me."
She threw down this sentence, and as she was about to leave, Franklin added: "But if it turns out to be related to the Abbott Family, what will you do then? Will you sue Benson Abbott?"
Thea was not inclined to discuss such morally-laden issues with someone whose intelligence was questionable, but Franklin was Old Master Rhodes’ grandson, and his family background was formidable. Thea turned back with a slight smirk on her lips: "Well, what else would we do? If it was indeed Benson Abbott, then we’d do what needs to be done. Don’t tell me you think such a thing, once it happens, can still be forgiven?"
Franklin looked at Thea, unable to say more.
His relationship with Shirley Abbott was good, but not overly close.
Having said those two sentences was enough for now, and he knew the main reason was that the old master wanted to intervene, and he couldn’t help Shirley Abbott anyway.
Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Thea chuckled inwardly and turned to leave.
She had seen many young masters from powerful families, all of them more or less had some issues because they simply didn’t regard others.
Simply put, if it weren’t for the old master wanting to intervene today.
Franklin, due to his relationship with Shirley Abbott, would certainly step in to help the Abbott Family.
He wouldn’t care what the Sutton Family had gone through; he would only feel that Shirley Abbott was wronged.
Now that the old master had spoken, he naturally didn’t dare do anything.
Thea had seen many people with such mental issues, making her miss Landon Ford all the more.
At least Landon Ford seemed to be such a normal person.
Unfortunately, he had gone abroad these days to attend that... Ian Quinnell’s engagement banquet.
That’s right, even though he’s an illegitimate child, the person he’s getting engaged to is a famous heir from a powerful family in the USA, both father and son from the Ford Family needed to attend.
Not knowing much else, Landon did reveal some gossip to Thea before he left.
Previously, this heir tried to seduce both father and son, but failed.
Upon learning about this, Thea’s first thought was, the circle truly is chaotic.
