Phelps gave Sallie a subtle shake of his head, signaling her to let it go. He stayed to chat with Henry for a few minutes before quietly taking his leave from the Gilded Whisper Estates.

Sallie was still fuming. "Grandpa, did you see the way Timothy spoke to you? Absolutely infuriating."

But Phelps just chuckled. "It doesn't matter. Didn't you notice? He actually cares about Jessica. If he's willing to stand up for her, what's there for me to be angry about? I'm glad, honestly."
