Would Elijah and Lucas actually believe a story like that?
Yet, if she didn't lie, how else was she supposed to explain it?
Before Suzy could even figure out how to frame it to the two men, Leonard stepped forward to defend her.
"Suzy wouldn't lie. If she says it happened, it's the truth! She had no grudge against Aaron—she even saved his life. Why on earth would she attack him unprovoked? Aaron must have struck first, and Suzy only defended herself."
Derek quickly chimed in. "Exactly. Suzy had absolutely no reason to go after Aaron."
Though Thomas remained silent, he nodded in firm agreement. They trusted Suzy unconditionally.
However, their defense did nothing to appease Elijah and Lucas. Instead, the two men's expressions grew increasingly hostile.
"She's your family, so of course you're going to take her side."
