To prevent Athena from being innocently involved in this matter, Easton Holmes explained the whole situation to Michael Linton and Serena Zimmerman that night.
After hearing what Easton said, Serena finally understood the cause and effect of this matter. Without needing Easton to say much, she immediately decided to join Easton in protecting the peace of the family.
Michael needed no further explanation either, as this matter concerned his nephew and niece-in-law as well as his own daughter. He felt a duty to protect all three of them and ensure the absolute safety of the family.
"Uncle! Aunt! I'm sorry, letting Athena..."
"Family members don't need to say sorry, besides, you can't be blamed for this; if anything, blame that Heath kid."
Because Grant Heath's actions troubled the innocent Athena, Easton expressed his apologies to Michael and Serena. Before he could finish, they interrupted him.
