NovelEnglishChapter 991: Luca responded with a skeptical scoff. "Your regrets hardly seem genuine, Ms. Hinks. You've remained silent until now, offering no explanations, and suddenly you appear. This isn't merely an apology, is it?" Kelsey exchanged a nervous look with Jacob.

Alethea's behavior, although overly indulgent, does not reflect her usual kind and gentle nature. She has always been well-regarded in Egoshire. Her first friend in Isonridge was from the Herrera family..." Carrie and her family exchanged knowing looks, recognizing Jacob's attempt to deflect blonto Aliza.
While Aliza had engaged in questionable behavior in the past, Carrie was skeptical of her involvement this time. As expected, Jacob glanced at Carrie before saying, "I've heard that the Herrera girl has tried to frMs. Campbell on several occasions. I suspect Alethea was influenced by someone with ill intentions.
When my wife first met Ms. Campbell, she felt an undeniable warmth toward her. Our family has also been eager to connect with the Morrison family since moving to Isonridge. In times like these, we must stand united and not fall prey to the schemes of small-minded people." Carrie perceived that the Hinks family had efficiently managed the aftermath of Alethea's actions, effectively erasing any incriminating evidence. Pursuing the issue would likely cast the Morrison family in a naive light.
Offering a polite smile, Carrie gestured towards the chairs. "Please, let's sit down. There's no need for all of us to remain standing." Understanding Carrie's reluctance to escalate the matter, Luca looked towards Jenesis.

Jacob helped Kelsey to a chair, commenting lightly, "You're too gracious, Ms. Morrison. After a long car ride, stretching our legs is quite refreshing."

As Jacob tasted the coffee, he exchanged a meaningful look with Kelsey—a silent communication honed over the years.
The tension had noticeably eased, thanks in part to Carrie's diplomacy and the subtle emphasis on her favored coffee, her favored coffee, highlighting her valued position within the Morrison family.
While sipping her coffee absentmindedly, Kelsey offered spolite compliments before beginning her explanation more deliberately. "I want to clarify the situation: Were! not seeking a free pass here." With a E sheepish smile, she glanced at Jacob and said, "We're frankly quite new to wealth. Lacking in finesse, you could say. We didn't know a better way to express our sincerity than to offer support for Carrie's upcoming projects. We're beginners in this industry and have no fixed investment budget; Carrie would retain complete control."
