Seeing Timothy Sterling standing there, silent and filled with regret, Mrs. Sterling found she couldn't bring herself to say anything more scathing. She just sighed. "Now that things have come to this, what do you plan to do?"
Timothy Sterling looked stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I'm asking what you intend to do about this whole situation!"
Timothy Sterling's head drooped. The series of shocks had left him utterly exhausted, body and soul. All he could manage was a bitter smile. "What can I do... Joy..." He paused, his gaze turning grim. "Joy Dalton committed a crime, so she has to face the consequences. I'll leave it all to the law. Naturally, I will cooperate with the police investigation, and I trust that the law will deliver a just verdict. Don't worry, Mom. I've seen that woman's true face now. I won't be fooled by her again, and I won't do anything else to help her. This is all her own doing. She deserves it!"
