Chapter 532
"Not necessary." Sarah brushed past her without a glance.
Sydney stomped her foot in anger. How dare she ignore her!
"Don't get cocky! Let's see how calm you stay when my grandmother brings the family lawyers!"
Sarah stopped and turned back with a mocking look. "My attitude is none of your business. But | know you won't
be smiling for long."
"Sarah! What's that supposed to mean?" Sydney shouted.
But Sarah was already in her car, leaving Sydney red-faced with rage.
Three days after Benjamin's arrest, Old Lady White arrived at Melvin's house with the family lawyers and board
members, including Shawn and Amanda.
In the formal living room sat two senior partners from the family's law firm.
old Lady White sat with a dark expression, while Mrs. Blanco stood tearfully beside Amanda. Sydney stared at
Sarah with wild eyes.
Shawn stood to the side, his expression grave. Melvin positioned himself next to Sarah, watching her
protectively.

The senior lawyer spoke first. "This situation is damaging both families’ reputations. The press will have a field
day. Your aunt's position on the board is becoming untenable. After all she's done for you, you should consider
the family's interests."
He shot Sarah a disapproving look.
Mrs. Blanco quickly dabbed her eyes. "If | hadn't intervened, my brother would have filed a countersuit by now.
I've begged her to drop the charges, but she won't listen! Even my mother's pleas meant nothing!"
"Benjamin has a history of sexual harassment. He assaulted Sarah!" Shawn interjected. "Whatever the
circumstances, Sarah is my niece - we can't let this abuse slide."
"Hmph! He's been in jail for three days. Isn't that punishment enough? Do you want to destroy both our
families?" Old Lady White's voice trembled with rage.
Melvin scoffed. "Grandmother, we all know Sarah. She wouldn't press charges without cause. Shouldn't Benjamin
face consequences for sexual assault?"
"Watch your tone, young man!" Old Lady White snapped.
While the others argued, Sarah tugged at Melvin's sleeve. "Is everything set?" "All taken care of. Don't worry."
The second lawyer finally spoke up.
"My recommendation is to settle this
quietly. Sarah Sh Ee the TN
chageplechirs logize. This kind
of publicity doesn't serve anyone's
interests. Besides, Sarah wasn't
physically harmed - he passed out
before anything happened." The

Sarah fixed her with an icy stare. "The shameful ones are Benjamin and your shameless daughter!"
All eyes turned to Sydney, searching for answers.
