Kevin did want to be their scapegoat. The more he pondered the situation, the more alarmed he became.

“Dad! You can’t be thinking about throwing me under the bus, right? I’m your son–in–law!” Kevin exclaimed fearfully.

Kevin dared not rebuke her insults.

The Masseys were more powerful than the Copelands now, so all he could do was put up with

the verbal abuse.

Despite being ridiculed, his silence only served to make Jessica look down on him even more.
