After Victor sat down, he heard what Polly Sutton said, and his face indeed darkened a bit. Probably because Polly was talking about her father, Victor restrained from expressing his anger.
After all, the two of them had argued about this matter before, almost leading to divorce, so Victor dared not criticize her father at this moment.
"Aren't they still in school?"
The implication being a refusal, not directly, but indirectly avoiding the confrontation.
"The people you're offending lately are the Kee Family. Sending them to my dad's place would be fitting, and would save you the distraction."
The words sounded like an excuse, but Victor knew she still cared about those two elders over there.
After Polly spoke, she watched Victor, even considering whether she should go along if he continued to ask, and tell the truth.
Outside, snowflakes danced in the wind, while inside, the room was bustling with voices.
A stalemate settled into Victor's silence amidst the noise.
