Prescott had just been thrown out.

A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd, everyone watching to see how Terrell would handle the situation with the Vaughan Group.

But Terrell quickly looked away, addressing the audience once more.

"Our association is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. From the very beginning, our goal has been friendly exchange and mutual growth. Over the years, we've become a benchmark in the industry. It's that openness and willingness to embrace new ideas that's allowed us to flourish."

"As for what just happened-this is ultimately a matter for the Vaughan Group to resolve internally. It's not our place to interfere or make hasty judgments."
