Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 655

However, before Corley could finish his sentence, Owen Reynolds suddenly cut in-

"Laird, you've had a bit too much to drink. These kids are still in school, academics come first. Let's not dwell on nonsense. Spreading rumors doesn't do anyone any favors."

Laird paused, slowly coming to his senses.

"Look at me, a few drinks in and I start rambling... You're right, students should focus on their studies. As for the rest... let it be."

Corley smirked: "What's the matter? Mr. Reynolds, do you object?"

"No parent wants to hear someone bad-mouthing their child. Mr. Sullivan might not care, but please think about the repercussions before you speak next time."

Corley frowned: "Are you saying I didn't consider Roseanne?"

"Isn't that the case?" Owen Reynolds turned, looking him in the eye, "Mr. Sullivan is a smart man, some things don't need to be spelled out by me."

"Don't act all high and mighty, you're not the only one who cares about Roseanne. I care about her more than you do."
