“Beal, you caused two decades of separation between us and our daughter, nearly driving my wife to depression. And you nearly had my daughter killed. How can you expect forgiveness?"

"I'm truly sorry. Thankfully, she wasn't harmed. Please find it in your heart to forgive me, considering our family's unwavering Loyalty to your family."

“Officer, please take him away!"

Brendan stayed resolute and requested the police to escort Beal from the scene.

The two police officers, standing by, stepped forward and hoisted Beal to his feet.
