At that moment, their father slowly let out a heavy breath as he turned to Nathaniel, who was still fuming. His brows were drawn tightly, his arms crossed over his chest, and his lips pressed into a thin line. The tension in the room was thick, but their father, older and far more patient now, spoke with calm wisdom.

“Calm down,” he said softly, placing a hand gently on Nathaniel’s shoulder. “I understand you. I truly do. I know exactly how you feel, and I understand every bit of that anger boiling in you right now. But he’s your brother.”

He paused, locking eyes with him. “He’s just angry… that’s all. Hurt people talk from a place of pain. You’ve seen how much he’s gone through, how much he held in. Right now, his pride won’t let him see clearly. But one day, when he finally comes to his senses, he’ll come back running. And when he does, I will still be here. I won’t be mad at him. I won’t turn him away.”

He gave Nathaniel’s shoulder a small squeeze and added, “And you, too… I don’t

    At that moment, the entire hall seemed to burst into a wave of restless whispers, louder than before, spreading like wildfire from one end of the table to the other. Voices overlapped in agreement sharp, irritated, and fed up. “Yes, yes, he’s right!” some muttered harshly. “We cannot allow this anymore.” Others nodded, saying, “How can a newcomer take us for a ride like this? It’s disrespect of the highest order.” Their words rolled together until the noise was thick, heavy with collective frustration.Many of them no longer spoke with caution. Their whispers carried tones of resentment, openly admitting that the association was slowly turning into a laughingstock. What was supposed to be a body of respect and discipline was now being mocked in their minds as a place where rules bent for one individual. The more they agreed, the bolder their voices grew, as if feeding off each other’s anger.At that moment, Mr. Brown, who had been watching the tide of discontent rise, abruptly pushed

    At that moment, hearing what Dave had just said, Soma slowly rose to her feet again, her eyes steady but softer than before. There was no need to raise her voice her gratitude was clear in the way she carried herself. “Mr. Dave,” she began, her tone calm yet warm, “I am very, very grateful. I’m happy with the way you’ve handled this whole situation. The way you calmed everything, the way you stood your ground it went extremely well. And I truly mean it when I say, I am happy about it.”There was a pause, and her words seemed to ease some of the tension that had been lingering in the room. A few of the stern faces that had been frowning earlier now softened just slightly, though not all.Mr. Dave gave a small, approving nod. He didn’t smile, but his eyes reflected a quiet satisfaction. “No problem,” he replied evenly. “That is the best thing to do. The right thing to do. And I’m not shying away from it. When a matter needs to be handled, it should be handled directly, and I’ll always s

    She looked down briefly, then lifted her gaze again with a small, respectful nod."I'm not trying to be rude to anybody, and I hope it didn’t come across that way. Honestly, I was just surprised. Surprised that this even came up… especially here, of all places."There was a slight pause. Some people shifted in their seats, sensing that she was building toward something else."But still," she continued gently, "thank you for considering me. For putting me first. For thinking of ways to support me… I don’t take that for granted. I really don’t."She looked around again, this time with a more firm expression."But I need to say this too," she said, her voice tightening with quiet resolve, "what I want to do this thing I’m working on it’s something I’ve decided to do by myself. Just me. No committees, no extra hands, no discussions."Her tone wasn’t proud or defiant it was simply honest."I know you all mean well. And I appreciate the care, I really do. But I don’t need to explain my plan

    At that moment, Abigail could only shake her head, the weight of disappointment pressing heavily on her chest. Her perfectly styled hair barely moved, but her fingers twitched by her sides, curling slightly in silent frustration. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go—not at all. She had walked into this meeting with the confident belief that she held the upper hand. She thought all it would take was a bit of pressure, a few sharp words, and Summer would eventually fold. That she would give them what they wanted. That the girl would break under the tension of so many eyes watching her, judging her.But Summer didn’t.And now, Abigail stood there, silently swallowing the chaos that was erupting within her. Because this wasn’t just about authority or pride. No, it was far deeper than that.She had come here with a purpose—one purpose only. Not for politics. Not for status. She wasn’t here to punish or prove anything. What she truly wanted, the only reason she had sat through this st

    At that moment, Soma folded her arms, her gaze firm and unwavering as she stood her ground before the panel. Her voice came out with a sharp edge, clear and unapologetic. “Let me make this very clear,” she began, her tone calm but cold, “the person I came with whoever he is, whatever he is that has nothing to do with any of you. It is not your business. Not one bit. So why are you all pressing so hard like I’ve committed a crime? Why are you trying to twist this into something it’s not?”The room went quiet again, but this time it wasn’t the shocked kind of silence it was the tense kind, the one that made people shift in their seats and look at one another, unsure whether to interrupt her or let her finish.Soma continued, her voice unwavering, “If you think I’ve done something wrong, then do what you need to do. Run your investigation. Check your footage. Call in your experts. But if you think I’m going to stand here and hand over that person’s identity to satisfy your curiosity, you

    At that moment, Abigail’s voice grew firmer as she adjusted the files in front of her and leaned forward slightly, casting a sharp glance at Soma. There was no warmth in her eyes now only the cold, calculated tone of someone who had made up her mind before the conversation even started.She said clearly, “So, for everything that has happened, and for the consequences we’re now dealing with, Soma you need to apologize. Not just any apology. A sincere one. And it has to be public. That means you’re going to record a video where you will clearly state that you overreacted, and you’ll admit that you should have followed due process instead of taking matters into your own hands. No excuses. No back and forth. Just a clean, public statement of remorse.”The room became uncomfortably still.Soma blinked in disbelief, trying to keep her expression composed, but anyone paying close attention could see the flicker of shock on her face. Still, she didn’t say a word.But Abigail wasn’t finished.
