Technically, this was the Stevens Family's own business. If Irena and Avery weren't involved in this matter, Caleb's idea, no matter right or wrong, had nothing to do with anybody else. However, it was his fault for hurting other people just because he wanted to seek justice and confront the wicked.

It was just like how a person would say that he wanted to kill someone. There was nothing wrong with that. He could complain about it for a lifetime, and no one could do anything to him. But if he really did it, then everyone would trample on his dignity and morality.

Zoe looked down on people like Caleb, who tried to hurt others in the name of justice, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She simply said, "No matter what, those girls were innocent..."

"Innocent?" Caleb chuckled. "I'm extremely sorry to Irena. But apart from her, all the other women were willing to lie in me and my father's arms. What kind of innocence do they have? How are they innocent? Shouldn't they pay for getting everything they wanted?"

Zoe was suddenly struck speechless, but Peter smiled and said, "Indeed. If a mediocre woman caught Mr. Fuller's eyes, I wouldn't be too happy either. So, I'm very grateful that Mr. Stevens is willing to tell us the truth. But if it's related to Irena, I must say that she had not done anything harmful to others. Our feelings toward someone can change over time. I can say that I don't like you now, but maybe I'll like you in the future. This is not contradictory, is it?"

Caleb leaned forward slightly and said, "If this person is not Irena, but Zoe, what will you think?"

"As long as she's happy and free, it's the best thing for me. I decided to be with her because I want to make her happy and contented, not because I want to make her suffer and not because I want to force her to a dead end." Peter's eyes turned colder.

He was prepared to play games with Caleb. When Peter was about to speak, Caleb nodded and said, "Indeed. So, when your wife cheats on you, you mustn't divorce her. Instead, you have to keep providing for her and congratulate her on starting a new family. So, when your friend stabs you, you shouldn't call the police either. He probably wants your kidney because his mother is diagnosed with a critical illness." Peter didn't expect him to say something like that. He knew very well that Caleb was secretly trying to contradict him, but he couldn't refute him.

Kendall frowned with worry. The situation now was not very beneficial for both Caleb and herself. It would be too embarrassing if they ended up on bad terms. She was thinking, perhaps she could say something at the moment, but what could she say?

"Is Mr. Stevens saying that you were after Irena because she had an affair? I don't think so. If I remember correctly, she had already broken up with you a year ago. She left Brine because you kept pestering her and had met Avery along the way." Charlotte picked up the glass in front of her. She looked at the wine inside and squinted in intoxication. "According to what I know, Avery initially didn't have any feelings for Irena. He was only helping her to leave you, am I right?"

"Is Miss Charlotte suggesting that an outsider will know more than the actual person involved?"

"I'm not necessarily an outsider. During the year Kendall met Avery, something happened to me too. That's why..." Charlotte pursed her lips and continued, "I was on the same flight as them." She was not lying.

Avery had always been investigating Irena's death. Naturally, he would know something about Charlotte. He did not think of her at first. But when his investigation was going nowhere, it was more effective to start from the people around him.
