Chapter 818: Ella Bailey, You Plead for Phil Walker? How Ungrateful of You

Orson, still a university student yet to graduate, carried the arrogance of youth. His rebellious phase hadn't entirely passed, and even after Logan scolded him, he maintained an indignant expression on his face.

He wrinkled his nose, slapped his phone on the table with a loud thud, and declared, "I didn't say anything wrong! Even the professors in their seventies and eighties at our university know about what happened yesterday. She looks quite young-how could she not know?!"

"Everyone in Sinoria knows by now that Phil Walker received a suspended sentence, yet she pretended not to know. Clearly, she has ulterior motives!"

The complex ties between the Bailey family and the Farrell family, along with Victor's messy household affairs, were something Orson had overheard during conversations between Lysander and Courtney not long ago. Mentioning Phil Walker made his face twist in disdain. "As the daughter of the Bailey family, how could she not know who Phil Walker is?! She's fully aware that he's the brother of the mistress who hurt Aunt Simone, yet she still came here asking questions. What's the deal? Is she trying to plead for him?!"

Ella Bailey: Clever boy! At first, she had been debating how to phrase things so Logan wouldn't get angry. But now, Orson had said it all for her!

Ella Bailey, rarely the target of such sarcastic comments, wasn't particularly upset. She sat up straight, adopting an exaggeratedly annoyed expression. "Kid, do you even know how to talk?! You're saying I want to plead for Phil Walker, right? Well then, it seems I'll have to make your accusation come true today!"

She let out a dramatic sigh, grabbed Logan's hand, and began her mock lament. "Grandpa, I really feel for Phil Walker. Maybe Cousin could talk to Elsa and draft a letter of forgiveness to let him go."

Ella's words were delivered with a tone of grievance, but her bright eyes betrayed no actual sorrow. It was clear she was saying this just to provoke Orson.

Before Logan could respond, she pressed on. "My father even said that if they agree to let Phil Walker go, he'll give the Dyer family a generous compensation. He'll also make the entire Walker family apologize to Elsa!" Johnson Bailey: Well, at least she said something. Better than saying nothing at all.

But no matter how he looked at it, her tone seemed deliberately antagonistic. Logan would never agree to this.

Johnson glanced down at the recording pen Victor had handed him through Luke Gill before he came. Deep in thought, he wondered if Mr. Bailey could tell from the recording that his beloved daughter wasn't taking this plan seriously. Orson's eyes widened in disbelief. He had seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as Ella Bailey.
