William leaned in to Edward and whispered, "This is clearly coordinated. We need to tread carefully."
Edward's father quickly spoke up, "Let's not jump to conclusions. There are plenty of witnesses here who saw that Edward did not push her."
"I demand compensation for the injuries he inflicted on me!" the woman cried out from her position on the floor, "Surely a respected family such as the Ashtors can afford to make things right!"
Edward's mother exchanged a quick glance with her husband, both aware that this situation was quickly escalating into a PR joke. Someone must have stalked them and prepared this stunt beforehand. The pressing question that lingered in the air was, who had leaked their whereabouts?
William sighed. This was why they couldn't even visit a fast food chain when they were kids. Some schemers would bet on gaining sympathy, while people like this would rely on different tactics to take advantage.
