Mrs. Fletcher said, "I'm only speaking the truth, aren't I? Then repeat what I said so everyone can listen, let everyone judge for themselves who's at fault, your Griffin Family or ours."
The girl holding Jocelyn's voice was very familiar, being the one who previously called Emily Collins. Hearing Mrs. Fletcher's words, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but Benjamin Griffin stopped her, "Penny! Hold your tongue."
Penny Jones closed her mouth somewhat reluctantly, still shooting a fierce glare at Mrs. Fletcher before she was done.
It was evident that Benjamin Griffin was fuming with anger. He took a deep breath before saying to Mrs. Fletcher, "If the Fletcher Family wants to break off the engagement, just say so directly. The Griffin Family is not one to pester relentlessly. Are you afraid we'll cling to you unwillingly? We can understand if you want to break off the engagement because Jocelyn had lost a limb. There's no need for all this pretense!"
