But you don't know, if not for my grandfather sparing him in consideration of their past friendship, you wouldn't be able to imagine how his fate would be. Arson is punishable by law and requires compensation for all losses. My grandfather's medical books are priceless treasures; even if the Novak family sold everything, they couldn't afford it!"

Penny was choked up, her eyes full of disbelief; it took her a moment to recover.
Did Xaviera really not like Willie? Willie was not only handsome but also very capable. How could Xaviera not like him? She must be afraid of losing face, so she doesn't want to admit it.
