Weighing the costs, they'd decided to cut Sarah loose.
"And what if Benjamin really is guilty?" Melvin challenged the lawyer. "What consequences will he face?"
Old Lady White scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous. Benjamin is a White - any discipline will cfrom us, not you.

Melvin gave a cold laugh. "Tell that struth in front of everyone, and you can go home."
Benjamin's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Melvin nodded. "You have my word."
