Susanna Smith closed her mouth immediately after her father's words, knowing that anything she said now would be superfluous; the situation had taken such a turn, all because Phoebe's lies were too amateurish.
Robert Smith glanced at his daughter, who was bowing her head, and sighed lightly before saying again, "Susanna, I have a lot of things to deal with, and my flight has been rescheduled to tonight. However, I still need to rush to the airport since there are matters waiting for me in Washington."
"Grandfather, are you just going to wash your hands of my Mum's situation?"
When Phoebe Smith heard Robert Smith mention returning to Washington, she immediately became anxious. Susanna's issue was no small matter; if the Thompson Family refused to let Susanna go, she could very well end up in prison after divorcing Ethan Thompson!
