So that's how it was. Aria listened to George introducing these details, only to blame George for not telling her earlier. Since he already knew everything, why didn't he tell her sooner? The person who knew Thomas Yates best was George, so why did she have to investigate from the outside? She could have just asked George directly.
However, she also knew that this matter was a painful scar for George, so it seemed that there was a reason he never mentioned it.
"It's okay, now that I know, I'll work with you to resolve this, and if necessary, I can explain it to Thomas Yates. I have a feeling that he still values your friendship, and I think there's a misunderstanding between you two. If the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine!"
