His voice was firm yet polite as he said, "Miss Carter, Mrs. Murphy, tonight is Zoe's graduation celebration. I kindly ask you both to give me this favor. Let's set aside your grievances until after the party. Let Zoe enjoy her evening in peace."

Regina was reluctant, but she didn't have enough evidence to prove that Avery had stolen the diamond ring. She was also worried that any surveillance footage Avery presented might work against the Murphy family, and she feared the influence of Harry, who was backing Avery. Reluctantly, she took the way out offered to her.
