Hearing Hazel's words, Amara flared up again and shouted, "Did my son commit a crime? It's up to you to judge!"
Chris warned Amara, "Shut your mouth right now!"
Then Chris said, "Hazel, just forgive Rick this time. I'm begging you. If Rick goes to jail, how can he have a foothold in the city?"
"Rick was in a moment of madness but learned his lesson. Please forgive him this time. I'm kneeling to beg you!"
Plop! As Chris spoke, he really knelt in front of Hazel.
Hazel immediately said, "Dad, get up. Don't do this." Hazel felt disgusted and quickly looked away to avoid looking at Chris.
Chris continued, "If you refuse to forgive Rick, I will keep kneeling!" Then Chris was about to kneel in front of Hazel again.
Hazel was annoyed and frustrated. Hazel immediately held Chris up and said, "Dad, please. Stop it."
