But now, Charles Carrington’s lips were tightly sealed; although he uttered a bunch of words, nothing substantial could be pried from his mouth.
"I can try, but I’m not sure how much I can help. I was in Kyoto for a meeting during Charles’s father’s birthday celebration and only returned last night. By the time I heard about the incident, they’d already issued a rectification notice." He was busy all morning and hadn’t had time to contact Bryan, but then Bryan had called him first.
