Chapter 215: Family Meeting
Although the family meeting was supposed to hold that weekend, when everyone heard that Evelyn was in Tom’s house, they began to arrive one after the other, with the exception of their kids since most of them were in school and they also didn’t want them involved.
The Hanks all gathered with the exception of Tom’s younger brother, Bryan Hank, who was out of the country shooting a movie. But his wife, Sonia, was the first to arrive.
The same applied for Jamal’s stepdad, Matt, who was also away on a movie production, but Jamal’s mom, Candace was present as was the other members of the Jonas family apart from Mari’s stepmom, Andy, who was out of the country with her husband.
Stefan sat beside Jamal’s grandfather as he waited impatiently for the pleasantries to end so he could hear the reason for the impromptu meeting.
After Tom’s discussion with his mother earlier, he had called back Harry to tell him what they had decided, but Harry had said he was coming over with Jade, and they should hold on.
Lucy had also called her best friend, and a sister-in-law, Sonia to inform her that Evelyn was in Ludus, and Sonia had said she was coming over, and just like that the news of her arrival and the plan had spread and everyone decided it was best to have the meeting before anything was done.
Tom had been the one to invite Stefan over. He figured that Stefan would have Genevieve’s best interest at heart since everyone would be too concerned with Jamal and Abigail and their little boy, to care about Genevieve.
"Alright, everyone. We all know why we are here," Tom said after they’d all settled down around the large table in the conference room in his mansion.
"For the sake of those of you that haven’t heard the update on the issue, Harry will give you an update before we commence," Tom said, glancing at Harry, since he was better at giving concise information.
Harry cleared his throat and dove right into it. When he was done, his wife, Jade shook her head. "I don’t get what you mean. Ryan committed a crime. Several crimes. And you think simply because we understand his motive we should resolve things peacefully and just do what? Let him go?" She asked incredulously.
