“If Mr. Weiss believes that our Lenoir family is responsible for the disappearance of your son due to these unfortunate events, it would be a grave transgression,” Damien declared solemnly.

“Since you both were here, my wife refuses even to come downstairs,” Damien stated, his words laden with a hint of reproach.
