Her silence made Bryce Walyon laugh coldly.
"Summer, I understand your desire to distance yourself from this, but don’t you think it’s absurd to make such claims without evidence?"
"What kind of family do you think the Walyon Family is? Can just anyone con their way in just by getting pregnant? You must take responsibility for your words!"
He went on about many things.
Nowadays, everything revolves around evidence.
Without evidence, even if Summer Sutton is telling the whole truth now, when it comes to court, no one will believe her.
Summer Sutton couldn’t respond to his questioning.
The Old Master was taking deep breaths, seemingly very upset.
"Dad, I’m not asking for anything else today, just for you to be fair and just! A life taken demands a life in return! And now it’s two lives!"
Bryce Walyon seized the opportunity to apply pressure.
The Old Master closed his eyes and said nothing.
He seemed to be considering something. Bryce Walyon knew he must be thinking of Adrian Walyon.
Adrian had always been the Old Master’s most cherished grandson, and Summer Sutton was someone Adrian Walyon would protect with his life, so Adrian would never let Summer be sentenced.
However, the lost great-grandchild was also part of the Walyon bloodline, and a life could not just be dismissed as if nothing had happened.
He must give an explanation to Bryce Walyon’s family and also to Gina Sutton’s family.
The room was silent for a while, and he still said nothing.
Bryce Walyon realized that getting Summer sentenced or killed was impossible. During the Old Master’s silence, he also seemed to be contemplating something.
After quite some silence, he suddenly changed his attitude, "Dad, although Summer once called me Uncle, I can never let go of the pain of losing my grandson. As long as Summer remains in this family, seeing her will always remind me of those two lost lives."
"The Walyon Family has always maintained a clean image, and our business reputation is excellent. Now that there’s a murderer, it’s not good for the family’s image. Don’t say I’m unfeeling, I won’t press charges anymore; I just want Summer to leave this house!"
Actually, it wasn’t that he wouldn’t press charges.
But with Adrian Walyon present, even if he did press charges, there wouldn’t be anything that could be done to Summer Sutton.
However, expelling her from the family was different.
Since they weren’t pressing charges anymore, despite everything he said tonight, the Old Master would give him a satisfactory answer.
After all, merely expelling her without taking her life or sentencing her was already a merciful approach.
Summer Sutton’s mind was buzzing.
Her gaze was fixed rigidly on the old man, her face pale.
After Bryce Walyon’s words, the Old Master of the Walyon Family was silent for some time, seemingly struggling.
He did not advocate for familial discord.
However, with such a severe matter, involving a child from Ryan Walyon’s family, if Summer Sutton stayed in the Walyon Family, this home would likely never return to its former peace.
Between his own children and grandchildren and a granddaughter-in-law, no matter how he had treated Summer Sutton before, when choosing between the two, he would certainly choose the former.
"Move out by today!" After some time of silence following Bryce Walyon’s words, the Old Master Walyon left the room with a single sentence, hands behind his back.
Summer Sutton stood frozen in place, his words echoing in her ears, her whole body cold. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Ha, in this family, apart from Adrian, there was not one person who believed her...
