“Can we talk in private, Cassidy?” he asked while glancing at Maxwell. “Anything you have to say can be said right here in front of our friends,” she answered.
“This is a family matter and it is none of his business,” Justin hissed. “You made it everyone business when you invited me here to humiliate me,” Cassidy said clearly.
Maxwell looked at Justin and told him to be very careful with his next words. “You called your sons props earlier today and I think you should apologize for that,” Maxwell added.
The surrounding tables went quiet as guests began to listen to the conversation. Paige the bride appeared in her white gown and asked what was happening at the main table.
“Justin was just about to explain why he lied about selling the family home,” Maxwell said to the bride. Justin tried to laugh it off but his voice was shaking and he looked like he wanted to run.
“My son did what he had to do because of Cassidy spending,” Gillian interrupted from nearby. “Actually he did it because he embezzled money from my company and had to pay it back,” Maxwell declared.
