Alexander Shaw said he was with Benjamin Shaw, and initially, Isla Lane thought he was bluffing her, but after calming down and thinking it over, she believed his words.

"Isla! Let's give the kids some space. Benji is already a thirty-five-year-old adult. Let him handle his own affairs, and we can just support him quietly from behind."
Alexander intercepted Isla's words halfway through, denying her the opportunity to finish what she was saying. He spoke neither hurriedly nor angrily, but with calmness, seriousness, and sincerity.
However, Isla did not agree with Alexander's view, and she refuted him over the phone: "He may be thirty-five already, but he has no sense of propriety at all. If he had listened to us five years ago, would things have turned out this way today?"
In her mind, she felt she hadn't managed things well five years ago, which led to how bad things became.
