“I have no objections. I support Ms. Thorne’s decision.”

Rowan’s face turned green. “Herbert, what do you mean by that? Are you a fence–sitter, switching sides so quickly?”

Rowan turned around, speaking in a respectful tone. “Mr. Guerra, did you need me for something?”

“Not really. It’s your turn to speak next, isn’t it?”

“Correct.”

“Do you mind if I grab something to eat?”

“Huh?”

“I’ll take care of the leftovers from Lysander. You can proceed with your speech without interruption.”

Rowan was stunned.

“Mr. Guerra, you’re indeed quite considerate.” Rowan’s smile seemed forced. “She’s just a family friend, not a real sibling. You should still be mindful of hygiene.”

“My hearing isn’t the best. What did you say?”

Rowan began shouting, “Mr. Guerra, I said these cutlery were used by Ms. Thorne…”

“Who used them?”

“Ms. Thorne!”

“Who?”

“Ms. Thorne”

“Who?”
