Everyone present had heard Mrs. Legare’s unreasonable remarks and knew she was in the wrong. Thanks to Alex’s swift intervention and clarification, Aitana’s reputation was preserved.
Instead of condemning her, people sympathized with Aitana.
She had merely rejected a man she didn’t love, yet she was verbally abused by his mother at the hospital.
Aitana’s family had lived in Wiltspoon for generations, yet Mrs. Legare had demanded she move out.
No one had ever seen such an unreasonable person.
“I know, Mr. York. I’m truly sorry for what happened today,” Joaquin said earnestly. “I will sincerely apologize to Aitana as well. I’ll do everything I can to clarify the misunderstanding. I hope it hasn’t caused her too much harm.”
“I already clarified it for her,” Alex said bluntly. “If we waited for you to do it, Aitana would have suffered countless injustices.”
