If anyone else had said it, Ava White would definitely retort but since it was Anthony Charlie, she got scared and couldn't say anything. She could only show an awkward smile.
Seeing the situation, Jonas Thompson berated Ava, "It's your fault for spoiling the child! At 22, she isn't a child anymore!"
After saying this, he turned to Anthony Charlie, trying to appease him, "Mr. Charlie, once we go back home, I'll definitely teach Lana a good lesson. I'll make sure she apologizes to her sister!"
Go back home and teach her a lesson…
The implication that he was going to defend her behind the scenes was clear.
Having said that, he turned to Eve and said with a smile, "Iris, this was just a misunderstanding. Let's just drop it, all right? After all, today is the company's 50th Anniversary Celebration, it would be better if we can end it on a high note. Your sister didn't do it on purpose, whatever the conflicts our family may have, we have no grudges that last overnight, don't we?"
