Chapter 905: The Consequences of Protecting the Weak

"Even if my mum really did that, there were extenuating circumstances," Joseph Thompson's voice was cold and detached, and it carried a tinge of chill.

"Aunt Susanna owed my mother a life and also took one of her ovaries. If my mum really did hit her a few times, what does that amount to? When compared with the violent acts your daughter committed back then, it's practically nothing. Don't you agree?"

Facing Robert Smith's livid expression, Joseph Thompson appeared exceptionally indifferent. The suffering his mother endured back then, his father being deceived into divorcing her, he had been deprived of maternal love since childhood.

Even if Bella White really did strike Susanna Smith in a moment of emotional loss of control today, it was an understandable reaction. What right did Robert Smith have to come knocking on their door?

"..." Robert Smith was immediately rendered speechless by Joseph Thompson's words.
