Amelia Linton's words and actions, although infuriating, Fabian Holmes couldn't stoop to her level or argue with her, much less do anything to her.
He wasn't afraid of her doing anything bad to him; he was afraid she would reveal the truth from back then, which would not be good for his young son.
He worried that his young son couldn't handle such things and might do something impulsive. He had already made his son grow up without a biological mother, and now he couldn't add new wounds to him.
"You're right, you're absolutely right. I concede. Can I go to the study now to get some actual work done?" Fabian Holmes worried that if he didn't get some fresh air, he might pass out from rage, if not something worse.
After saying this, he suddenly stood up from his seat, glanced down at Amelia Linton, and left the room without waiting for her response, heading towards the door once again.
