Autumn Shelby had assumed that when her father finally spoke, it would be to defend her. But upon hearing Evan Shelby's words, she looked at him in disbelief and cried out, "Dad!"
'How could he do this? He's my own father, yet right now he's pinning everything on me!'
"Don't call me Dad! You shameless thing! Don't make the entire Shelby Family take the fall for what you've done. I'm telling you, go and beg for forgiveness from your uncle, your aunt, and Seth right now. If they don't forgive you, then from this day forward, you are no longer a daughter of the Shelby Family!"
At that moment, all Evan Shelby could think about was saving the Shelby Family. To do that, he had to shift the blame completely. He needed to make the Quinn Family believe that Autumn Shelby and Sierra Sutton were the only ones involved, and that he and the rest of the Shelby Family had nothing to do with it.
