Derrick stared at Cameron in disbelief, his face pale. The idea of being forced by Christina and Cameron to apologize to Suzanna left him feeling trapped and uneasy.

He had already been more than forgiving with Suzanna. Even after she wronged him and tried to shift the blame onto him, he held back his anger for the sake of family unity and to spare their parents from further stress. But his patience had limits.

At first, Derrick had thought Suzanna's behavior was just a lapse in judgment, something that could still be salvaged. So, he used every bit of his influence as a lawyer to delay her court date and potential prison sentence.
