Next Man, Better Plan novel Chapter 217

Patricia, on the other hand, was utterly baffled. What was Stephanie talking about?

York himself was the one who had beaten Jonathan with a belt.

But she was claiming it was self-inflicted? And she was even bringing superstition into it?

York had given strict orders that Jonathan was not to get up until he had knelt for three full days. No one in the family dared to defy him.

Not even Mrs. Vasquez Sr.

And certainly, no one would plead on his behalf; they all watched with cold indifference.

But Stephanie had just gone and freed him, and now York didn't even seem angry?

This was unheard of in the Vasquez family!

Patricia finally realized that Stephanie was not as simple as she appeared.

Mrs. Vasquez Sr., who had just arrived, looked on with a gratified expression.

She knew she hadn't misjudged her.

Stephanie had read York's temper perfectly. She had not only protected his pride but also framed her words in a way that was both flattering and allowed him to save face.

She even knew how to feign ignorance at the right moments.

She had laid out a perfect escape route for York to get down from his high horse, even cushioning it with a soft, fluffy pillow to make the descent effortless.

Moreover, if York had any sense of decorum, he wouldn't admit to beating his own son in front of her.

After all, York knew better than anyone that he was in the wrong.
