Enrique paused, the chess piece still between his fingers. He hadn’t intended to get involved, but this unexpected turn-his youngest son getting mixed up in things for the sake of a woman-truly caught him off guard.

‘Well, that’s a first,’ he wondered.

Enrique asked, “What exactly happened?”

Gareth’s face lit up with hope. He immediately put on a pitiful act and wailed, “Enrique, you know how worthless my son is, but he’s my only child. Lately, he took a liking to some girl. Who could’ve known she was under Mr. Turner’s protection? That’s how this whole mess started.

“After all, our families do have ties. It’s one thing for my son to get beaten up by Mr. Turner disciplining a younger one. But now he wants to put my son behind bars? Isn’t that just blatant bullying?”

Enrique remained impassive. Of the entire Timberlake family, the only decent one had been his eldest son’s wife. Enrique hardly believed a word Gareth said.

Gareth only harped on how Bowen bullied Jacob, conveniently omitting any mention of what Jacob did to provoke Bowen.

“My eldest daughter is gone. Now I only have this one son left. I can’t just stand by and watch Mr. Turner ruin him,” Gareth

said.
