Chapter 25 Trouble On Site

• Lucian’s explanation this time seemed more believable to Freya and her parents. Finally, Frank and Annie came to terms with it and signed the agreement. Their attitude toward Lucian had also softened slightly. The man had just gifted them a $20 million villa after all, so what else could they say?
• Tammy felt relieved and much less guilty knowing that Freya’s family would have a roof over their heads tonight, and a very lavish one at that. She quickly remembered the thousand dollars she was supposed to return. "Aunt Annie, please take this money back. My parents don’t know any better, so I’m here to apologize on their behalf," Tammy said. She did not bring up the matter her parents had asked her to.
• Annie received the money from Tammy. "Tammy, darling, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to apologize," she told her niece. Even though her relationship with Tammy’s mother was strained, Tammy herself was a good kid. She refused to let the children carry on their parents’ grievances.
