The crowd stopped in their tracks.
James's expression froze. He had already noticed that Ethan and Alice would glance at this man before speaking, which suggested that this man's status surpassed that of the Drake Family. He couldn't afford to offend him.
A bead of cold sweat slid down James's temple. "I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Don't understand?" Ethan glanced at Logan's face, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Didn't Mr. Clark just insist that Miss Clark and Mr. Perez were entangled in some inappropriate relationship, and that Miss Clark needed to be taught a lesson?"
"I..."
Ethan didn't give James a chance to speak. "And why is Mr. Clark so sure it was Mr. Perez in the room? If we hadn't been here today, wouldn't Miss Clark have been falsely accused?"
James instinctively looked toward Katie, and the crowd swiftly turned to follow his gaze.
