“Who was in Denzel repeated, his brow furrowing as he tried to follow Zane’s line of questioning Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind, and a wave of shock hit him.

Denzel looked at Zane again, feeling his donde dip away. Maybe tw’d been wrong all along. His daughter could really have done something that bad–like murder

He didn’t want to believe it, but it seemed like the only explanation. It felt like all the air had been let out of him, and he slumped down, feeling totally defeated.

Zane watched him with a cool, calculating, gaze. “Mr. Janssen, you’re a smart guy. You should know who we’re talking about. But if you need it spelled out, I can be more direct,” he said, his voice sharp.

Denzel looked up at Zane, his eyes filled with a quiet plea. “Mr. Hartley, my daughter made a mistake. She did something she shouldn’t have. I failed as a father.

“I’m here to apologize to you and Ms. Evans on her behalf. I’m asking for mercy because she’s still young, if she comes home, I promise I’ll make sure she never causes trouble again”

Zane chuckled, shaking his head. “Mr. Janssen, you’ve got a rep for being sharp, but looks like that’s not always the case,” he said, his tone turning serious,

Denzel felt a chill and dropped his eyes, unable to face Zane. Zane kept pushing, “Mr. Janssen, if it were your daughter in danger, would you really let the other person walk away unscathed?”

Denzel went quiet, knowing the answer was a flat–out no.

Zane let out a cold laugh. “People are selfish, Mr. Janssen, and you’re no exception. How can you ask others to do what you wouldn’t do yourself, just because your daughter’s the one in hot water?”

He paused, letting his words land. “And one more thing, Mr. Janssen: the person you need to apologize to and ask forgiveness from isn’t me–it’s Elysia. If you’ve got even a bit of guilt in you, you should be talking to her, not me.

“If your daughter gets out, she’s just gonna be trouble for everyone. Better she stays in there and learns some life lessons, builds some character. Since you can’t seem to teach her anything, maybe someone else should.”
