Discord Between Father and Son

Preston ignored Frederick and regained some composure before turning his head to say to Lucas, "I have to make it clear to you that I didn't take this woman from you. The person who abducted her was Scott, not me."

Lucas nodded. "I know. If you let her go right now, I won't hold you responsible for it."

Indeed, the person who had abducted Karen was Scott, so Lucas wouldn't put the blame on Preston. But at the same time, he wouldn't just forget that Preston was using Karen as a hostage now.

He was just dealing with them separately because they were two different things by nature.

Frederick hurriedly said, "Yes, Preston, hurry up and let her go! We can talk things over calmly. Even… even if you've killed your brother Scott, you are still my son. I won't press charges against you."
